Transcript

SPEAKER_00: 0:09

Welcome to Rather Be Rotting, where two sisters who should really be doing something more productive dissect all things reality, TV, and pop culture chaos, because no matter what's going on in life, we would always rather be rotting. Hi, Will. What up? Welcome to your, to the... To my own podcast? Yeah. Thank you. I got my CC ready to go. Oh man, I have water. At least you're staying hydrated, which is important. How's it going over there in New Jersey? Last time we were doing this, we were together, face-to-face, comfy cozy, cuddled up. You know, it's been hot this week. It's been humid, it's been hot, and that's really all I can focus on. How's the bathroom? It's just about done, and you're coming in... days back to la in days so we are really up against the clock now yeah i'm finishing touches at this point i require a fully finished bathroom so you know you're gonna get a toilet you're gonna get a sink you're gonna get a door that closes will i get a shower probably i'm gonna give you a probably i guess i'll take it yeah it's looking good it's looking good we'll take this convo off the pod It's a very important one. Yeah, we'll pick it back up later. But there's been a lot going on this week. It's been a very busy week. JBeebs dropped an album. Yes, that's what I was going to start with. So it's finally clocking to us. It's finally clocking to us. So did you listen? You know, I gave it a high level skim. I can't say I really listened in depth. What does that mean? Like 15 seconds per song? Yep. Wow, any thoughts from those 15 seconds? I didn't hate it. I mean, I'll definitely circle back. I'm going to circle back, too. I listened to, like, the first three or four songs, and a couple of them were bad, but that second one, Daisy's, I really liked it. That one, I did like, too. The first one, too, has, like, Michael Jackson vibes. Did you get to the My Girl's Iconic iPhone case with a cross on it? That song, I did not like. Yikes. It didn't do much for me. But I like that he doesn't shy away from his relationship problems. Yeah. He references them. And something that is weird to me is how he incorporated, and again, I didn't get this far, but I heard he incorporated his paparazzi moments. Oh. The standing on business, the money, money, money. So my question is, those just happened last month. How did he get them on an album so fast? Well, maybe they were planned.

UNKNOWN: 2:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 2:53

For the album. Correct. A little guerrilla marketing, if you will. In which case, he would not be losing it, as we all suspected. I think he still is, but, you know. I mean, his Instagram is giving Britney Spears stream of consciousness. I think two things can be true. Yeah. He's a smart business marketing man, or he has someone smart in his corner. If only that person could be in charge of his Instagram. If only. Yeah. I just fear we have like an Aaron Carter situation on our hands. No, no, no, no. Aaron Carter did not have a loving, normal wife and child. He did have a child. He did have a child. And he did have a woman in his life. Right. Well, let's just put prayers up. Prayers up. He has God. He has faith, which is something that I don't know if Aaron Carter had. I'm honestly not sure. Aaron Carter was on a lot of drugs. I don't know if Justin Bieber's on any drugs other than marijuana. If I had to guess and speculate, I'd say probably. I think it's a lot of weed. That's what I think it is. But I guess, you know, time will tell. Time and truth will tell all. I watched Bachelor in Paradise. Oh, I didn't realize we were doing that. You don't have to do it. I wasn't going to do it because I'm off The Bachelor. Like, you know, I haven't watched it in seasons. Neither have you. So I don't know what possessed me other than the fact that the Goldens were going to be there, are going to be there. So they're all mixed in together? They will be next week. So this week was just, and I have to tell you, watching the first episode, not knowing anyone because I don't watch The Bachelor anymore, it felt a lot like Love Island, except they edited it into one two-hour episode instead of five one-hour episodes. I'm sorry, six. I guess that's better, but I'm still not trying to sit through a two-hour episode. But everyone else seems to be able to sit through six one-hour episodes. We just started Big Brother. That's where my multi-day-per-week viewing will be focused. Well, Love Island is over anyway after Sunday. So we're not going to have to feel left out of the discourse anymore. Thank God, because let me just tell you, the Bravo Slack channel at my job is... Everybody's just talking about Love Island. And it's really pissing me off because that's not on Bravo. And nobody's talking about actual Bravo shows anymore in there. I'm worried that if I try to turn the tide in the channel, I'm going to get yelled at. So I've just been quiet waiting. You've been lying in wait. Just like Aaron Burr. Yep. Well, we'll always have Mamacita. We will. So yeah, I liked it. I can't wait for the Goldens to come. I will die if... the goldens and the youngens intermixed in terms of dating. Well, you know, it'll just be the men with the younger women. None of the younger men are going to go for the golden women. I guess that's true. I already don't like this premise. Well, I don't know if like they're even, I don't know what's going to happen. We don't know. I'm sure that they're going to stick to their own kind. Have you heard of the drums with the new golden bachelor? Yes. I hate him. But what are the, what is ABC going to do? Are they still going to air the season? Probably because ABC, well, they did take a stand finally firing Chris Harrison. Randomly. I would really love it from them, but I don't expect it from them. So we're going to get this 60-year-old dude with a bunch of 40-year-old women. I'm not watching him. I'm not watching that man. He's trash. Great. Okay. One more thing I don't have to take on. For those who don't know, he asked the producers to give him women who were under 60 because he didn't want any big hips women. No wigs. No wigs. No silver hair or whatever like that. He's the golden bachelor. And he's ruined it. And if he did ask the producers for that, he should have been fired on the spot because they should have said that's not what the show is about. Yeah. If you want to watch next week, the Goldens are coming. They probably won't. Could be fun. Speaking of Goldens, what do we think about Erika Jayne's new boyfriend who's actually... Only one year older than her to my... It feels appropriate. I thought that man was 74, not 54. Well, it tracks, though, because look at Tom Girardi. Like, she clearly wants to date men who look like they're quickly declining. And he is a vet, so he's probably seen some shit. Yeah. So, I mean, I support it. Yeah. Do I think she'll talk about it on... Real Housewives, no. She better talk about it. She needs to get her ass to work. She needs to get her ass up and work, as Kim Kardashian said. She really does. But elsewhere in the Bravosphere, I have a lot of thoughts about Brock cheating on Sheena. I have so many thoughts. What are your thoughts? I think that this timeline is so important. Why? Because, according to her, the cheating happened... before Skandoval, like years before Skandoval. So Sheena's crying about how Skandoval affected her so personally because it made her so scared that Brock was going to cheat too. And it's like, okay, so you're saying that Brock cheated already when you said all those things? And also how she said she would trust Raquel in bed with Brock after he cheated? Well, I think you're getting confused because he cheated on her then, but he didn't tell her for years. Oh. You missed that part. I've got it all wrong. Yeah. Okay. March 2023 is when Skandoval breaks. April 2023 is when Brock tells Sheena that he cheated on her in 2020. Okay. So it was post-Sandoval. But. Skandoval. So he told her like literally right after Scandaval, like the month after is what you're saying. Yeah. So the whole next season, Sheena still used Scandaval as a reason why she doesn't trust her husband. Yeah. I feel like now I have to go back and rewatch it. She's just a liar. She just like, is this a made up ploy to sell books?

UNKNOWN: 9:13

Would they do that? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 9:15

I don't know. I just think she looks really stupid. And something that, if we know anything about Sheena Shea, it's that she's not afraid to look stupid, which is what we love about her. None of this makes sense. Like, why wait so long to say it? Why did he wait so long to tell her? Like, I just don't, I just, I'm not getting it. I feel like she would have gotten a better spot on The Valley if she had brought that to the table in the last season of Vanderpump. That would have been an amazing Hail Mary that she was just sitting on. Should we just get into the valley? Yeah, why not? Alright, so the valley, we are still in Hawaii. And I just gotta say, Brittany, Brittany, Brittany. Brittany done fucked up. Brittany is not the brightest bulb. She's not having a great showing. I... was first very annoyed with her for trying to make Kristen's engagement about her and her frustration with not being included. And it's like, then she goes on to show her ass and why she wasn't included later in the episode when she does the one thing we all know you shouldn't do, which is tell Jax. Like, I'm sure that they didn't tell their families. Maybe they did, but I think they had a People article, right? So it was probably like they couldn't leak it. Financially, legally, couldn't leak it. Oh, that's smart. Yeah, I bet you're right. So... And obviously, we see Jax immediately tell Tom Schwartz. Like, so stupid. And he told the whole boys' group chat. Yeah. I'm also disappointed in her, like... I'm on Kristen's side with the whole Janet of it all and Brittany, like not standing up for Kristen because she does do a lot of standing up for Janet and never goes against her. And I don't know why, because Janet is the devil saying that accusing Danny of you cannot, you can't say sexual assault. Like let's not be so fucking dramatic. If it didn't, especially if it didn't happen to you, if the women that this incident happened to were, not calling it sexual assault why are you that's up to them to call it that they just want them to stop talking about it why is she like taking this and holding it she like this has nothing to do with her i yeah i just don't know what she thinks is going to come from this like nobody's on her side from the audience no at all but i did like how she activated everyone I guess. I feel like we need that. I liked how Kristen at one point said, like, I only have so many fucks to give. I'm going to run out of fucks and I'm not going to have enough for the important stuff. I thought that was cute. Also, did you see Kristen's outfit when they, like, changed after the proposal to, like, go down to dinner?

SPEAKER_01: 12:03

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00: 12:05

I thought, like, oh, so you know how last week we were talking about how, oh, she didn't look cute on the boat? Yeah. I think that that, like, was her looking cute because her post- think outfit wasn't cute either you know she tries does she i'm not sure actually i mean she didn't know she was getting proposed to in her defense so she didn't pack a engagement party outfit yeah she just packed comfy vacay clothes okay i've come around in this moment this was helpful for me to come back who amongst um what did you think about luke in that sailor outfit i I thought it was bold. He was really feeling himself in it. And if my new fiance came out in that, the engagement would be over in that moment. Like no one else was dressed up. Jesse, on the other hand, he had like a sailor hat and sunglasses and like a shirt unbuttoned. He's never looked so hot than on that boat. Like, did you see him at the fire dancing thing? Like mimicking the fire dancer? No. Oh my God. So funny. I got to go back. You got to go back. Did you look hot? He looks like a dweeb. I also don't need Michelle on my TV anymore at all. She talks too slow and she's giving me nothing. I agree. She can go. And Aaron. Take Aaron with her. And now that Jesse and Aaron are good friends, we don't need them at all. Jesse can be up to no good On our screens by himself. Goodbye. Did you hear Brittany say that Janet and Jason paid for the trip so they should be included for some things? I sure missed that. She said something like they should be invited to some things because they paid for the trip too. Oh, maybe like we all paid for our portion and they paid also. Yeah, like they paid to come here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But production doesn't pay for their trips. You know, historically, it's unclear how much the network pays for versus how much the cast pays for. I don't know that we've ever been super clear on that. I assumed that the production paid for their trips and the food. I don't think that they pay for everything. I know they don't pay for clothes and I know they don't pay for parties. And they probably get the lodging for free because they just promote the places they're at. So much. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe they just paid for their flights. Maybe that was all I really had for the Valley. Did you have anything? Nope. And we didn't get, we didn't get an episode of Atlanta. We didn't get the finale reunion. You know what? I was okay with that because there was so much else going on. I know. So Miami, the biggest, the biggest, there were two kind of big takeaways. Well, actually maybe, maybe three, I think one Gertie and Julia and, are just probably, like, never going to see eye to eye on this situation. Whose side are you on? I think they're both wrong, honestly. Kind of neither. I think shitty behavior has been displayed on both sides. And then we have the goddess party. Well, before the goddess party, we have Alexia getting scammed by the scammiest scammer I ever did see scam. That man, that life coach.

UNKNOWN: 15:16

Oh.

SPEAKER_00: 15:16

He literally couldn't say it how many enough times, how many clients he's had over 300, how many books he's written three. Like he had a lot of numbers. He's a numbers guy. Yeah. And Australian. And I just thought this girl. Yikes. Where did you find him? I couldn't even probably take talk. Like something you would do, honestly. No, I take in the information and then I never act upon it because I know to take it all with a grain. But how much is she paying this guy? I don't even want to know. Probably way too much. The goddess party. We don't even get to it because Lisa's two hours late. They were in that bus for two hours. Yes. I would be just as mad. No, me too. I think she was completely justified. And it's crazy that everyone else is scared to say it when they, I know like Lisa's tiny. What is there to be afraid of? They were like, Oh, finally someone has the balls to stick up for her to her. I'm like, This is brand new. And she is always late. I mean, production's on a schedule too. You'd think that they would go. Truly. What do you think of Stephanie? I liked her a lot more at the end of the episode, let me tell you. I think the fallout with her two twin sisters is super interesting. Like, I bet she, I think it's probably her fault. Why? Just based off of first judgment, first impressions. And like how she describes herself as a businesswoman who has no friends. Yeah. I still wish she would lose that damn hairstyle. It's really bad. It's just not for her. She would look beautiful with 20 other hairstyles other than that one. I also just got the feeling like when they walked into the... They must own like a luxury apartment complex. That must be what it is. When they walked into it, I just got the vibe of like, this is super fake. Like this is the first time she's ever been here. That's just how I felt. The place where the dog shit. Yeah. And of course she runs over to the dog shit, but she's not the one cleaning it up. No. So if she'd never been there, then are you saying she's not as involved with her businesses as she claims to be? That's just like how I feel, but I can be proven wrong. I guess we'll have to see. We're only on episode two with her. So there's still a lot to learn. Yeah. I recently heard Larsa on a different podcast interview. Talking about how she's such a good person. Yes. And I just like died. I'm like, she thinks she is the most amazing. Zero self-reflection. I can't believe I'm such a good person. Truly. That was wild. I have a question. Why was she golfing with, indoor golfing with Kiki and her kids? You know, I wasn't sure about that. That was unclear to me as well. And I also, I just feel like the Kiki situation with her dad, I don't know. Personally, to me, it's like if her dad doesn't give a shit about having a relationship with his grandson, why force it? Because she wants her grandson to have a relationship with him. Right, but I don't know. It just feels like if you're forcing it, that kind of makes it worse. Maybe, but she's just trying to be like a good mom who gives her son, you know. I think she is a good mom. But other than that, I mean, I'm excited for the goddess party now. We're off to a good start in the Sprinter van. We're off to a late start. So we had one more Housewives franchise on our docket this week. What? You know, it just feels so nice to be back in the loving arms of Orange County. I feel immediately at home when they are upon my screen. When Gina is talking about moving back in with Travis. And the square footage. Shannon never not saying she's a completely different person. It just felt so right to me. All of those things. And I have to say I love Emily with the dark hair. What was her hair color before? It's like more red. Oh, okay. Yeah, I liked it. And I really felt bad for her with what's going on with her son. Me too. That was devastating. Her son has like some sort of disorder where he just doesn't like food. Yeah. And that's gotta be really hard. I feel like she's like, I just can't make a meat. You just do your best. We all just, you know, you do your breath, do your breast, do your breast. I think Katie sort of doubling down on her bad behavior was a choice during her off time. Yes. There was a lot of threads to follow and I didn't watch. So it took me a while. I had to go back. You didn't watch? Last season. Oh. So they put like a graphic on the screen that was a little helpful with the nanny who told this person about this person, but then this person, you know, it's a lot of that. So basically what happened was last season, Katie's daughter babysat Emily's kids and according to Katie's daughter she said that Emily's kids said we don't like Heather because she's mean to our mommy and Emily said that's not true they wouldn't say that I never said that Katie went on some random podcast sorry not Katie Katie's daughter went on some random podcast to talk about it and then some old nanny of Emily's came out of the woodwork to like corroborate the story and katie connected with that person and said here's the podcast person and that is why emily is upset and then there was another issue with katie and like at the end with the phone with tamra but that one i didn't follow as well it's hard man something about tamra I don't know, selling stories or something. Oh yeah. See, it's just like, sometimes it's just a little too inside. Yeah. But I think either way, like. Seems like no one is on this Katie Chook side. No, I think she's made some bad decisions and she, I feel like the only really, Jen's kind of in her corner, but like Shannon, I guess. And that's like, you're never in a good place when only Shannon is on your side. And I have to say that when the show started, my feelings were the opposite of yours. about coming into The Loving Arms because I'm watching from the beginning Orange County right now I'm on season nine and everything is just so different the faces are different their homes are different their voices are different you know so it's just like and you know we didn't have Emily or Jen or Gina and so while some are familiar to me it's like They're the same, but they're not quite right because they're not the women that I know. So it felt like it didn't feel like home to me. Interesting. So I don't know. I got to warm up to it. And the polygraph bit at the beginning scared me. I feared, do we have nothing else this season that we're starting with this? We're going to have plenty. Don't you worry. How do you know? I'm so sure. I just feel like Orange County is really reliable. And we're going to have a plethora. I did love the flashbacks to things I haven't even seen yet. Like Tamra getting baptized 10 years ago. I don't know how we're going to get there, but I can't wait to see that. And there was another clip of Shannon like breaking a plate. Yes, the quiet woman. Oh, that's a classic. I can't wait. Like there's still so much to be to look forward to for me. Yeah, there is. You don't even know. I also did not like the children. They're monsters. Like, one of them didn't know who Oprah was. That was shocking. Why is Oprah not in the school textbooks? That was shocking. The children need to learn about Oprah. I don't even remember whose kid that was. I think it was maybe Jen's. Oh, yeah, yeah. And then Emily's daughter is like, oh, you look like a millennial. You're giving millennial. This is what the kids do. That is a little bitch. Yeah, duh. I know we're supposed to keep the kids out of it, but... She's asking for it. Did you have any other thoughts about the episode? They went to the Golden Door. That was an interesting place. Loved watching them, you know, get their drum on. Yeah, Shannon, who knew? Her hidden talent. Well, she's a woman of many talents. I wonder if we'll see Earl the Pearl at all. I don't think we will. I think Earl the Pearl... I'm trying to figure out the timeline here because I feel like her face looked better in the Love Hotel than it does now. Does that mean that was shot after, like... I don't know. That's a good question. Probably just two weeks, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I can't wait to get Gretchen back. And I could give a shit about Slade. Sorry. It's upsetting to me. I'm, I don't want to call myself like a fan because I know he's a monster, but I'm excited. So that was it for Bravo. We have a new show on TLC. What'd you think? oh happily ever after is historically my least favorite worse than last resort oh no not worse than last resort i needed i need more time before i have gino and jasmine gino and jasmine on my screen again you had a whole season of regular night i need more time the fact that they had to show us They had to flash to the tell-all to make it make sense why we're seeing her not pregnant means we haven't had enough time. But we're going to see the making of that moment. And I just don't want to. And you know who wasn't mentioned once in this first episode? Who? Her children. Oh, of course not. The most they see of her is just what they see on TikTok of her acting a fool.

UNKNOWN: 25:17

Yep.

SPEAKER_00: 25:18

Yep. And also like if he didn't want to have sex with Jasmine, what makes him think he's going to want to have sex with a woman who looks just like Jasmine? I'm not sure why they're even pretending like the marriage is salvageable. And you know who the real loser in this whole situation is? This poor idiot, Matt, who very clearly didn't want a relationship, thought he was just going to get to bang a hot chick. And now she lives in his house. with all her shit and her dog coco oh my god you're so right this man he just wanted to hook up this man to get his dick wet this man fucked up in a way he never could have imagined so he must not have watched the show then i don't he doesn't strike me as the type he doesn't strike me as the tlc type i wonder like what it took to get him on the show a paycheck I know, but, like, how much is what I mean? Yet another Matt who's rocks for brains. Like, I don't think it took a lot of money. I, the only couple that I really didn't want to be there was Darcy and whatever his name is. Because I don't know them, and I just don't care about them. I find them entertaining. She's kind of gross, though. Her face looks like it hurts. No, it really does. And just, like, the turkey leg of it all was just, like, yucky. Oh, my God, you're right. The turkey leg. I didn't love that. And I do, it's like another tale as old as time when somebody from a conservative country is saying, cover up your cleavage. And the person from America is like, don't dim my shine. You know, it's like. It's a little tired. It is. And you haven't even, we haven't even gotten to Tiger Lily and Adnan yet, but. Are they going to be good? They're good to hate. Okay. Well, I'm excited for that. And I guess we're, we're also going to get Brandon and Julia. Yeah. Which I didn't. Or I didn't remember. I didn't know. And we'll get those parents again in the clips. They showed his dad telling his mom to shut up. And I was like, I'll take some of that. It's about time. What's his mom's name? Betty? Yes, Betty. Betty. And it looks like Julia is going to try to get pregnant. Yep. Which was the deal coming off of Last Resort. Oh yeah, that's right. We're picking up right where we left off with them too. The one couple that really bummed me out was Kara and Guillermo. Why are they on this show? Clearly they've decided to not be together, right? That was really hard to watch. Why are they on this show? And I've never seen two more attractive people. I know! I thought that the whole time. I've always thought that. I think the problem here is that when they got married, he was like, what, 22? Yes. She married a non fully developed adult man and expected him to have his shit together. So of course she's disappointed. And this, the fact that he never got a shit together leads her to be, I'm assuming nagging him, which of course makes him think he's being parented. And it's just like, this feels like a really real classic relationship breakdown. Yeah. And they're sleeping in separate rooms. Like this is not a joke. I mean, I obviously don't think they're going to survive. Oh, I don't want to think that their baby is so cute with his chubby cheeks. Oh my God. I know. I'm sad about it for sure. If they break up, I will be devastated. Well, prepare yourself. No, I think they're going to work through it. But why didn't they get put on Last Resort? Maybe that's next. Or maybe because, like you said, it's too real. Maybe. Last Resort is a joke. Yeah. Bummed me out. And I kept thinking... While he was talking about flying lessons, I'm like, can we get Mark to give him lessons? That Top Gun music? Yeah. Also, did you clock when she said that something happened in therapy? Something was said. Yeah. So what was said? Like, you signed up for the show. You have to tell us. But they didn't. Maybe next. Maybe they will. Maybe. What else did we get? We got some worlds colliding with everyone up there in Florida. I'm not sure. Down there in Florida. Sorry. I'm not sure I needed that structure. I kind of liked seeing that. Do you think that Libby and Andre are going to actually move to Moldova? That is the plot that's got them the spot on the show. Lauren and Alexi, I've been done with them. They never give me anything. Hey, he was giving something with that fight this episode. She's giving us brace face. She is giving us braces. This is a dumb question, but why didn't she get Invisalign? Maybe it's not an option for everybody? Also, in the flashbacks, her smile looked amazing. She looked amazing, and then she still got all that work done. There's clearly some body dysmorphia happening with that woman. Somebody who doesn't need any work done because she already got all the good shit is Yara. She looks fantastic. I mean, I'm interested to see what happens with Joby and Yara because they're in Florida with no friends. Yeah, she didn't want the help of Mrs. Gwen anymore, I guess. I'm going to miss Mrs. Gwen. Me too. Maybe she'll stop by. I hope we see Chuck. Do you think Chuck will go to Moldova? If we don't get Chuck in Moldova... I will riot. I mean, he's been, we've gotten that before. And I need it again. I love Chuck. Yeah. I mean, I want, I want Chuck to keep his political affiliations quiet. I don't want to know that about him. Oh, actually that's not really surprised. It's an assumption I'm making. I don't know for certain. Has the same affiliations that you think he has, you know, it's possible. So I also want them to keep it quiet. Yeah. Don't ask. Don't tell. Yeah. Yep. Yep. I want to enjoy the show. I want to enjoy the show. In terms of your political beliefs. Yeah. I thought it was interesting that they're not talking to Libby's siblings at all anymore. It's interesting, but it's not surprising. Like every season they've ever been on has been like World War 50. So tumultuous. Like anytime we fight, I always think it's really dramatic, but like it's really not. That family seems stressful. Yeah. I've been keeping up on Hunt for Love. Yes, I need to ask for the updates because I heard some stuff went down. Well, Jen, I think, now has also had sex with some other guy, Cole. And so she's lied about it to everybody. She lied and said she didn't have sex? Yeah.

UNKNOWN: 31:52

Huh.

SPEAKER_00: 31:53

With Rob and Cole. Like, she was not admitting to any of it. Oh, she had sex with both of them in the making of this show? Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Good for her. Usman is really giving me the creeps. There's one scene where he's trying to ask some other girl, one of the randos on a date, and he's like lifting a, he's doing like a bicep curl and just staring into her eyes while doing the bicep curl. Like he thinks it's so impressive. And I think it's akin to somebody singing at you. Yes. Where you just like, don't know what you're supposed to do. You kind of have to like smile politely and sway, maybe put your hand on your heart. Right. So when somebody's staring at you doing a bicep curl, do you say, I'm so impressed right now. Let's head right to my room because I've seen the way your bicep flexes. I mean, if that's how you really feel. That's never how. No. Not even for Ryan Gosling. Actually. That's a bad example. I take that back. Speaking of hot men, have you seen Nicholas Holt on the Superman press tour with his bleached blonde hair? I like it. I'm going to pass away if I see one more picture of that bleached blonde hair. I'm into it. It's everything to me. Like, I never thought just like. You hate blonde men. I know, but I love Nicholas Holt. Love him. And I was like, you know, he's like the hottest man that I know of. And so then I never thought he could get hotter. But alas, I'm glad you're on the same page for once. Any other thoughts on H-E-A? Yeah. Yeah. No, do you have any other thoughts on Hunt for Love? No. Don't waste your time. I wasn't gonna. We have one more show. Oh, talk about feeling home. Welcome back. Oh my god, I am settled. I'm cozy. I'm comfy. I'm where I belong. My slippers are on. Expect the unexpected. Is the unexpected ever really that unexpected, though? No, and I will say that I knew that Rachel was coming. Like, I... before I watched it because I watched it late. Yeah, I did too. But I still got chills as she was walking down those stairs with those red gloves with her signature line, Floater's Travel Life Fest. I laughed so hard at the part where they had the challenge where Julie was hidden and she did her little toss to commercial from the balcony in the challenge area and the guy who won the challenge just stood next to her making weird hand gestures and like mime movements as she's like tossing to break i was just like dead i didn't see his movements i was all eyes on julie you gotta he was right next to her how could you miss it i don't know i'm not sure how you missed that i had one more thought actually really quick on the valley or sorry not the valley orange county Oh, okay. Just like the editors always being my favorite when Jen said she's going on a tyrant, but meant to say tirade. And the editors put tyrant and then in parenthesis for the subtitles and then in parenthesis, tirade question mark.

UNKNOWN: 35:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 35:05

my god they're so good they're the best in the industry the best in the biz so are i was just cackling i was like making dinner as i was watching i was cackling how did you see the subtitles if you were making dinner because something was boiling and i was just waiting but that's the kind of stuff that you miss when you don't watch it but i didn't but i didn't miss it did i but you could have missed other things But I didn't. Sounds like I'm the one missing everything. You did. Honestly. Okay, so I gotta say Julie. Julie had a lot of work to do in this episode. I don't know if they paid her extra. She had to do some voice acting. Came out of the door, the hidden door. I gotta tell you, I loved it. Okay, well. That her shoe, the Cinderella shoe left on the stage. I don't know if it's like, because... world has gone to shit or like i just feel like i'm at a place in my life where i want to lean into all that like usually i would roll my eyes but something i'm just i'm all in you know how i feel about julie chen no i feel the same but like i just liked seeing her bad acting and hearing her badass like it was fun it was fun it was fun it did like she was having fun like It all lulled me into a nice nap. And then I had to wake up and rewind and catch up. Yep. I liked all that, but the accomplice twist, really, that's where it lost me. Because nobody physically turned out the lights. No, but they clearly picked someone upon entry to be like, hey, you're going to be the accomplice. It's like traitors. It's just arbitrary. They're not doing anything that's giving clues. That's my thought. Did you see at the end, they're like, where's the light switch? Yes. You can't turn off the light. I don't think they actually can. Technically, from what I've heard about how I don't think they actually can. No, I don't think they can. I don't think they're allowed to. No, there's set sleep times where they turn the lights off and that's when they're allowed to go to bed. And I've also heard that if they nap in the day, they get yelled at to wake up. Were there any contestants that stood out to you? Honestly, no. Other than this spooky Satan man, that was really spooky. Yeah. spooky satan man the spooky man with the mask oh gosh yes the actual person yeah no that's gonna haunt my nightmares that was awful like that's really i mean i know it's prime time but like i feel like cbs should i wanted a warning don't be so scary save that for the 10 o'clock hour you know i really hated that actually yeah that will haunt my dreams tonight i'm like shit i can't watch this in the dark no no i'm gonna see that face in the window so not a lot of names stuck with me but there's one I didn't get one name. There's one girl with curly hair who thinks really highly of herself. The gamer? The gamer slash model slash something else. She had to throw the challenge because she already has such a big target on her back and I'm like literally from walking into the house. I know. I love how they all want to keep their professions a secret because they all seem like they're so threatening. It's literally the stupidest thing on the planet. Maybe it's because I don't have a threatening career that I would just be like, I work in marketing. And I'm not good at anything. But that begs the question. You know, it's a question as old as time. Would you throw the first competition? No. I would. Okay, well, that's your method. Has anyone who won the first competition won the game? Yes. Name them. I probably can. Lisa Donahue, season 3. Hayden Moss, season 12. Rachel Riley, season 13. Nicole Franzel, season 18. And Cody Calafiori, season 22. Is Nicole the one, the blonde one? Yes. Oh my gosh, Rachel and Nicole are both iconic. Okay, so maybe I would try to win, but I never would. You never know. I don't think I would win a competition. I just don't think I have what it takes. I'm not good enough at anything. You could probably do, like, a puzzle. I would need you to win because our lifelong dream has been to compete in the Big Brother house together and keep our identity as sisters a secret. Because we look nothing alike, so nobody would know. Nobody would suspect a thing. Nope. As long as we, you know... Don't talk to yourself. Don't talk ever again. Never say a word. Oh, well. I think it's a little late for us. We missed the moment and now we have to wait until we're like 50 and then we can be the one old person. I don't currently have three months of my life to dedicate to that. Unfortunately, at this time. I feel like They need to cast more than one old person. I fully agree. It's so rude and disrespectful to the one oldie. It really pisses me off because I know they also have a couple people in their 30s and I'm like, okay, so why are we counting them as oldies too? Because that's discrimination. Absolutely not. I remember looking at the cast list a few days ago and just being like, I'm sick of all these 20-year-olds. This is not interesting. Yeah, and there are some 30-year-olds. I did take note, but... No, but I want more in their 30s and 40s and 50s. And let's try to cast somebody in their 60s. Like, can we have a bigger spectrum, a wider variety? Like, let's make this more fun. Because it's never fun when it's one old person on an island by themselves. It's like the same thing every season. Unless they're Angela from last season. Oh, my God. Or Felicia. Mama Felicia! She was everything to me. Why can't they come back? What I wouldn't give to see those two again together. I know. Maybe in a future All-Star season. Did either of them win America's Player because both of them should have? They probably didn't. Absolutely not. I love them both. So my favorite player so far is the former mathlete Mormon with the bleached blonde Justin Timberlake tips. The cheerleader. Yes. Love him. Me too. He's fun. I'm really rooting for him. Me too. He's really the only one that stood out to me in any way, shape, or form other than the winners of the competitions who didn't do much for me. Yeah. There was one woman, unfortunately, I think that she needed to put glasses on before she came in because she called the cowboy man. She likened him to Brad Pitt. Ooh. Yikes. And that was tough to hear. Yeah. That's like that chick from Love is Blind saying she looks like Megan Fox. Megan Fox. That's a great comparison. And I think that we should not say any more because, you know, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. We're just pointing out facts. I do worry about her vision. Me too. Going through the competition, that is something that you probably need. Yeah. um and then oh i hate the way they over explain everything like only four people can compete in the competition i'm going to compete so that means i can only pick three more people yeah it's like but you have to remember the majority of america is dumb are they dumb enough that they need that i think so oh my god come on i think so because at one point one of the One of them, I heard them say, like, I should pay more attention to the directions. I'm like, you're the problem. It's you. Other than that, I think that they need to up the prize pot to a million. The fact that they don't even give out a million dollars in 2025 is pathetic. Well, if they up that prize pot, they have to up survivors as well. Survivors don't get a million dollars? They get a million, but I feel like survivors weigh harder than Big Brother. Yeah, they should be getting, like, five million. Yeah. This show has been on for so long. They probably print money at this point. Oh, yeah. Come on. Give them five mil. Who do we need to talk to? This is disgusting. There's greedy people at the top. The rich get richer. Welcome to America. Did you like the house? I liked that there were bunk beds. It's the first time since season one, I believe. Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool. I loved the bunk beds. I feel like it would give me a good sense of privacy because you can't just see everyone sleeping with their mouth open. As you do. as you do who doesn't um but also i feel like you know how sometimes they're they're talking and they don't notice someone's in the bed yeah i feel like this is gonna happen way more in that bedroom definitely because you can like literally just inch up to the wall yeah and listen it'll be great i'm really excited me too just it's a it's a great time to be happy to be back happy to be back television happy to be back in the big brother house and in orange county Did you have anything else about Big Brother? Any other thoughts? No. There's a new show that I kind of want to watch called Too Much. Oh, yes. I'm dying to watch that. Even though I didn't like Girls so much. I'm still willing to give it a shot for sure. Yeah, I love Megan Stalter from Hacks. Yep. We should tell mom to watch it. Yeah, definitely. Two podcasts ago, she was talking about how much she loves her. Definitely. Yeah, she'll watch it. I'm upset because the residents didn't get renewed for season two and I don't know why. I'm sorry. But what are you going to do? Did it feel like complete after one? Yeah, definitely. But it didn't end on a cliffhanger. No, because it was all about one case, but they definitely could have like moved on to another case next season. Yeah, of course. So I wonder if that means it wasn't good. I downloaded all the episodes to watch on my iPad and then I just didn't get to it. I thought it was so good. If you liked it, I probably will too. So I'm still going to watch it. I'm going to give it the respect it deserves. You should. Other than that, what am I going to do this weekend? Yeah. Well, I have to put the finishing touches on the bathroom because you are coming. Sounds like you do. What about you? I have some friends coming tomorrow for a little spendy little girls weekend. Is that what the Gen Zers are calling it these days? Yeah, I'm so young. My husband will be present, but he'll behave as more of a butler of sorts, personal chef. What's your husband going to cook? He's grilling. He's going to do, I don't know if you recall, he did some salmon, bacon-wrapped salmon bites a time ago. He's going to make those barbecue chicken wings. I'm making a pasta salad. Your pasta salad? My pasta salad. Iconic. Yes. And pasta salad goes hand-in-hand with rotting because... We like to pass the bowl back and forth, the whole bowl of pasta salad. A giant bowl of pasta salad, freshly made by Lil'. Just take some bites, pass it over. Take some bites, pass it over. Like a carton of ice cream, but pasta salad while we sit and rot and watch our favorite shows. I miss that terribly with you being all the way over there. Well, maybe I'll make it again while I'm there next week. Okay, because you won't be busy working and stuff. You know, I can always find time. That's true. You always manage to. I don't know how. I don't know how she does it. I'm really looking forward to having In-N-Out. I'm really looking forward to going to Bob's Burgers. If we can go to El Compadre or El Coyote, that'd be great. You don't have to tell me twice. I want a big burrito with a big side of beans and rice. Beans and rice. Oh my God. That's what I want. That is a friggin' must. Just like on the East Coast... You can't get Mexican food like you can in California. Everything else is food-wise perfect, but the Mexican food is not the same. No offense. I don't think I could live in a world without Mexican food, Lil. I know that we talk about me moving there someday, but... Luckily for me, I love Taco Bell and Chipotle, and that's enough for me. But for some reason, I think ever since we saw... the Valley gals at El Coyote with those big plate, hot plate, hot plate. I was like, well, I need a fucking hot plate. You know, we should do El Coyote. I think it's a little farther, but I'm down. We never do it, but El Compadre, we know it's, you know, so we, it's trustworthy. We can take this off the pod. You can think about it for a few more days. But if any of our viewers have thoughts on El Compadre versus El Coyote, leave us that note in a five-star review. In a five-star review. Yeah. In a five-star review. Well, thanks everybody for listening. And rotting with us. Thanks for rotting with us. We'll see you next week. Well, I guess we'll talk to you next week. We'll talk to each other next week. We'll be together again. Rotting together. Can't wait. Bye. Bye.
