The Court Will Take A Recess: Friday, April 17th, 2026

19:02Braxton Berrios:I have to tell you, I, I instantly was better. And he like, didn't have a shirt. He walked into the house without a shirt on. He remembered, but then he remembered he had, um, one of his friends got him a shirt from the masters. So he like had kept it in the car. You two are not okay. No, no, no. We were both like changing in someone's driveway. That's like really crazy that Ben walked into the house without a shirt. No, sorry. He didn't walk in. He walked in the driveway. way in the driveway in the driveway so then I'm like I have like seven or eight houses we saw and at the last house I was just like seriously I was in hell and I I'm like I'm you know really I don't want to be responsible for like choosing a house that everyone hates right so I take really in-depth videos with lots of commentary each it's like four or five parts I get the downstairs the outside and then I put them in a drop box and I made a special drop box and I was like I know none of these bitches are gonna watch my videos in full even though I told you you have to watch them in and listen with audio.

19:58So at the very end of the very last video, I said, okay, this is the last video. And just to prove, if any of you bitches actually made it here, I want you to write in our family chat a purple heart. I thought that was pretty genius. And I want to say everyone passed except for motherfucking Margo. Except for Margo. And she keeps going, what's with the purple hearts, everybody? And I'm like, why don't you be more guilty?

20:20Claudia Oshry:I was like, you're telling on yourself. I watched all your videos. I just couldn't get around to it until later. Because I wanted to give it the time and energy it deserved. Because I had to like co-sleep. All that to say, I don't think we found the house. I had to co-sleep my way to sleep, you know, like in order to get these kids down. Jealous. Then I could watch. Then I had to watch Beverly Hills. And I had to watch last week's episode. I watched Beverly Hills. But I did it. It was kind of a frustrating episode. Yes, yes. I hate when Erica gets like that. I know. Or it's been like that too now where they both talk like gangsters.

20:52I don't care. I like when Dorit does it.

20:55Claudia Oshry:I like it too because she needs to stand up for herself but it's like why are they talking like that? Nine years. Okay, nine years. Like it was insane. They're so crazy. They literally think they're like the godfather.

21:08Braxton Berrios:Yes. And then Erica was on Watch Happens Live and she didn't bring that energy which I was grateful for. And Andy did ask some really good questions specifically about like, you know, how close Rachel, Zoe and Dorit are. And like I think he was just trying to fish like are you jealous? Are you mad? Like do you hate that? And Erica was like no, I'm never surprised by friendships in this group. I am so surprised and delighted by Rachel Zoe. Her personality is just so not what you would expect.

21:32Claudia Oshry:You would expect her to be cold and distant and just so cool because she's so cool with the sunglasses. And she's just like this warm, bubbly, happy, giddy person. You know what she is? What? She's kind of a girl's girl. Well, she is a girl's girl for sure. And she says cliche things and they sound cool coming out of her mouth. Like she's just really surprising and delightful. I completely agree. And I just love watching her. I feel like I just want to like look at her, you know, like her hair is so shiny and long. She's a spectacle. She's like, really? Yeah, I think she's awesome. Oh, my God.

22:09We've been gabbing for 20 minutes. I know. We've like talked. We didn't get to like sort of burying the lead like Sierra's spoken out. We got to get to the stories. Yeah, we pretty much like did the stories in the PFFB.

22:19Claudia Oshry:But oh, so you think we didn't find the house? I felt like there were two strong options

22:24Braxton Berrios:I don't know I don't know I was like also losing my mind Jackie was like where the house is good I'm like no and she was like they look nice and I was I was having a stroke in the video she walks into like this pargy bedroom and she's like ugh this house keeps getting worse I was like what am I missing no because you have to be there to like the smell and like the vibe like I could just tell you it wasn't right but I thought the room was like adorable I'm like ooh nice new room she's like this house just keeps getting worse it's a dump she walks into like the master suite she's like i don't think this house is gonna work for us you guys it's the worst job in the family i don't think it sounds fun at all and it's not like and the hamptons are like pretty much like closed for the season so it's not like you're out there like at tate's partying it up at surf lodge no and also what it's taught me is like i'm really not going to ever be able to live in the suburbs no the stairs it's insane unless i get like a really big ranch style home with no stairs it's insane that people live in houses that have like a

23:30Claudia Oshry:basement a main level and then upstairs oh yeah yeah we don't have basements here in florida and like i have stairs but my daily i mean aside from i come upstairs to do the show but i'm not like

23:39Braxton Berrios:hiking up and down the stairs all day right right so you can have just it doesn't seem like a pargy way of life. I'm not interested. And I've always dreamed of like having a mansion with a spiral staircase. No. What about if it had an elevator? That's just like a fat lazy thing to do. Do you need to get an elevator in your own home one floor? Like I would be too ashamed even in private, honestly. But you can get it. Just know you could get an elevator and like that would sort of solve the problem. If you're on the third floor and you have to go to the basement. I need like an electric chair up and down the staircase.

24:09Braxton Berrios:I think that would probably be best for me. That would be really beautiful to look at yeah like my big regal staircase and i'm sort of like electrically sliding down i think it can be solved with an elevator like don't let that don't let that stop you from home ownership okay or you can find a ranch style home you know or i can find a ranch style home which i know that you just want anyway like love a ranch i love a ranch now let's get into the stories, the fast vibe stories that you do need to know.

29:02Claudia Oshry:You're welcome, Cozy Jert. Our first story, Sierra Miller is breaking her silence on Wes Mandeval with a Glamour cover story. So Sierra Miller is on the cover of Glamour magazine talking about Wes Mandeval. It's titled Sierra Miller will let the universe handle it. So she's explaining the shock that she experienced, the betrayal and how she's feeling in this moment.

29:30Braxton Berrios:Yeah, I saw a really good quote.

29:32Jackie Oshry:That's just I assumed this would be her take. It was this. It's one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors to experience it so publicly is adding another layer. And then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in a season. It's a major mind fuck. I fought with your own husband to advocate for you. I have championed you. I have tried to be there in different ways for you and help you and get you to see your value in yourself. And so to be so disregarded in such a disrespectful way, honestly, it's at times I'm lost for words. At the end of the day, a guy's a guy. Whether or not Wes and I are working on a relationship, you just can't put anything past a man.

30:06But I just never would think that it would have come from someone like Amanda, who has been what has felt like in my circle and in my corner for so long. I think that's the craziest part.

30:14Claudia Oshry:That's the truth. Like, yeah, the West moving on with someone else was always going to happen. And there's really no one he could have moved on with. That would be that shocking aside from even if it was someone in the house like Bailey, you know, like whatever. What not that shocking? Like it would literally be as if he were with Paige. Like, yeah, the bar is extremely low for him. And he so met up like went even lower than any of us could have decided. So nothing about what West has done is that shocking. But even if he was someone in the house, it would have been really shocking. But like, you know, we could deal with it.

30:51Claudia Oshry:We could wrap our head around it. We would have been able to, someone could hypothetically, let's say it was Bailey. I think that's a good example. We would have been able to like sort of defend her.

30:58Jackie Oshry:And it's like, yeah, it's unfortunate for Sierra. But like, you don't know Sierra. You like this guy. Like, sure, you're brought into this house. This is just indefensible.

31:07Claudia Oshry:It's the betrayal from Amanda that's the most shocking thing. And I know that people like to be like, well, we should be giving them equal hate. Wes and Amanda. Like, why does the woman get more hate? Well, because the woman did something worse. Yeah. Yes, I would agree with that. Except in this article, they said it was akin to if Selena Gomez left Benny Blanco and started dating Travis Kelsey. Like, no, it's not. Wait, let me think. If Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got divorced. No, no, because they're actively together and started dating Joe Alwyn. yeah yeah that's a better they were together for six years like and they also said it's like leah remini dating ben affleck okay that's her ex-husband maddie healy maddie healy okay yeah this is a good example selena gomez divorces benny blanco and starts dating maddie okay maddie healy was like a decade long but also taylor is in a very happy relationship sierra and amanda were not so it's like no it's not it's not a perfect yeah no it's not perfect but I just thought that that was like such a miss from them.

32:12Claudia Oshry:Leah Remini dating Ben Affleck. Ben and Jen were married.

32:17Braxton Berrios:And also I think like Leah Remini and JLo like have been.

32:19Claudia Oshry:I think they're just trying to like explain it for people who don't know the situation. It would be like that, but it's actually not like that.

32:25Braxton Berrios:But the reason why this is so crazy is because you actually can't compare it to anything. You can't even compare it to Sandoval. Like you just can't. And it's the best friendship that's the betrayal,

32:33Claudia Oshry:more so than the like whoever the guy was. I'm surprised she didn't do like a podcast or something just because like I feel like you really get to say your piece more although what I got from this article is that she doesn't really have anything to say like what it's all already been said um it's going to be said at the reunion mostly like for the team it's going to be said at the reunion they asked her like have you spoken to what was your last conversation with Amanda like she was like it was very minimal but we'll discuss that at the reunion so like yeah well I think that she

33:00Braxton Berrios:whatever press she does now and this goes for everyone when their season is airing you do have to get your press approved by Bravo if you go on a podcast if you go do an interview so I

33:08Jackie Oshry:this was sanctioned by Bravo.

33:11Braxton Berrios:Sometimes people go rogue and the network gets really mad.

33:13Claudia Oshry:Yeah, so there's not a lot of like information in here or tea or anything. It's more so just like a major moment. Catching up. No, and like a major moment for her. And it's like about like uplifting her and like the pictures are beautiful. And it's just like, here I am. This is my first statement. I feel exactly as how you would expect. Right. And I'm, you know, I'm back. yeah I don't think it was meant to sort of shatter anything that's going to be told to us at the reunion which I believe I've heard films next week and Andy was on radio Andy making some news couple things couple things he said he said one this idea that the reunion's being filmed separately and like Wes and Amanda are going to film a separate segment not true everyone's sitting together good two they are currently cutting and re-editing episodes and I do think he didn't say last week's was edited but he does say next week's is crazy and i think next week's is confirmed edited but i think last week's was edited not only because of like the sitting on when west sits on you as a car showing you sierra looks weird sabrina sabrina someone said i think it was jesse said in a in a confessional where he looks different and new he said that um west the way he's like moving in his relationships like he's just gonna end up like kyle and he was the first time anyone compared Wes to Kyle in the beginning of the season the first time since I did it I saw people putting this out on TikTok they have been teasing this like big fight between Carl and Kyle in the driveway and then they stopped teasing it and it's like it doesn't happen it happened in the in the earlier um in the earlier episodes they kept teasing this like big blowout fight and now it's almost like it they decided it's not happening so yes they definitely are editing wait it's not happening why isn't it happening because they just have

34:58Braxton Berrios:sort of dropped it from existence it hasn't been promoted it might have already happened like it's gone allegedly there's no way maybe there is no fight no there is a fight i don't know why they

35:09Claudia Oshry:would have to cut that and also like this is what bothers me because it's like okay so amanda was this villainous person for the second half of the season and they weren't going to show us that because they were telling a different story and if she hadn't hooked up with west we would have see one version of the show and now that you're Kyle's a villain and she's some big victim we're seeing a different version of the show and it's like just give us the fucking truth and let us make up our minds you don't have to like push us in one direction and you certainly don't have to make it worse for Amanda and like pepper it with things that are going to make it worse for and make people think that they started having an affair this summer which like I know I'm naive and I do give people the benefit of the doubt but I don't think that they were I don't think that That's kind of what they are sort of sprinkling around.

35:55Yeah, just because they want to rile up their crazy fans. I don't think that. That's really irresponsible, I just want to say. I agree.

36:02Claudia Oshry:No one's crazier than the Bravo fans, and they don't even need riling up, so really you don't have to do that. But Andy did say on Radio Andy, and it's giving Alan Cummings, saying that episode of Traitors is the craziest episode of TV he's ever seen in his whole life when it was extremely mid. But Andy did say that next week's Summer House is just fucking crazy. I do believe him. Andy doesn't say that a lot. Yeah, but like how can it, like what's even going to happen? If you think about like where we're at in the show, like I think Wes and Ciara have a conversation. Maybe there's like a big thing with Wes and Amanda.

36:30Like maybe, I don't know. I don't know. There's literally not. And like Kyle and Amanda like continue to suck. Like where we're at in the story, we're not really primed for a crazy weekend. Well, we'll just have to see. Yeah, so that's the latest Summer House.

36:46Claudia Oshry:So next up, going back to previous discussion, Alex Cooper will make her acting debut alongside Anne Hathaway in a new Colleen Hoover adaptation, Verity. So at CinemaCon on Wednesday, Amazon MGM Studios unveiled its first look at Verity, the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's psychological thriller, which features a scene with Alex Cooper. According to Deadline, the trailer opens with Alex Cooper playing herself, interviewing Anne Hathaway's character, renowned author Verity Crawford, on her hit podcast, Call Her Daddy. before she goes mute i guess so yeah or so or is it the end of the story you know right she's at the end telling the story and then we'll go back oh oh yeah maybe um so this is where alex cooper is falling into a little bit of the james corden trope where like you know you're getting every gig because you are well liked by people so much so that the great john mulaney once said i'll always bring it back likability is a prison and there's really only one place to go when people like you and that's to just like truly cancel cancel station and so honestly this is such a slay on her behalf outside of this big

37:51Braxton Berrios:drama that's going on right now um this is really cool for her and people are like you know in the comments like enough with her enough but it's like slay you would do it too for a check not even for a check i do it for free a thousand percent like it's i don't think it's about money it's just like ubiquity and like that that's cool um very yeah i guess the timing like is a little icy with the

38:13Claudia Oshry:announcement because people aren't going to be like all for it because they're just in a hateful mood right now correct but i think this is objectively very cool agreed it's great for podcasting great for podcasting can't wait for my close-up and verity crufford would go on call her daddy to tell her story yes she would right or like mel robbins no not to tell her story no no let me think like where would i guess like where would an author go to tell their story

38:42Braxton Berrios:the redheads correct it should have opened up been you it should be on the redheads you and dana and rebecca and marco i just want to say i would be so upset like i would be so upset imagine like the redheads got like a huge moment because you know i'm kind of gunning for a seat i know you are i feel like i said talk to marco have you ever spoken to her about it she's coming over for dinner tonight i'll make sure to bring it up it's sort of tense and awkward way make her like a nice dinner and sort of butter her up maybe buy her out okay i'll offer her four dollars that's so rude we we do ads no no i wasn't saying that as a reflection on the worth of the redheads i was just saying it sounded like i'm willing to pay it sounded like a reflection on the worth of redheads it sounded like you said we're broke it sounded like you said we're broke well you are we're not and we have a but heavily anticipated next merch collection whenever that i decide to drop that that will be a million dollar endeavor seven figures spring summer joggers seven off seven attorneys big business deals it's gonna be a seven figure collection

39:45Claudia Oshry:we'll call it that okay um so that is cool you know what i was thinking about though and it's like all this licks versus lex stuff and i do feel like alex huber like doesn't ever stop to explain herself i would like an understanding of like why dakota is on on well winter games and like how we're how we're sort of swallowing that pill as a woman woman definitely she's definitely like at a weird transitional period and like yeah do a solo episode and tell us why yeah like stand up for your choice you know because i just feel like that's what i was saying the other day like

40:20Jackie Oshry:she does not share anything personal whether that's even her business she is just a vessel to create content around other people that used to be like actors and actresses and now it's like more so reality stars so that's why the whole thing is so shocking because i don't think she's ever even literally sat down and talked to us on Instagram about something that's going on in her life it's always promoting a business or talking about somebody else or an episode like that's why this is so shocking it's the first time she's ever like since leaving Sophia like opened up personally she does solo episodes every now and then being like you know Matt and I did this like it's never really that yeah maybe maybe it's because she's kind of like blameless in the situation well she has to think she really did nothing wrong in order to open this up yeah

41:05Claudia Oshry:because like I feel like she doesn't answer for a lot of these other things because there's really

41:08Jackie Oshry:like not a good way to spin it yeah she doesn't ever I think one of her big no-go's when she goes on podcasts but she doesn't do a lot it's like people are not allowed to ask her about the Sophia Franklin then and that and that's because like if you were to critically look at it like she did play a large part and she had wrongdoings right but with this I feel like she really doesn't think she did anything wrong so unless Alex Earl has some big secret I don't know what it's gonna be yeah me neither are you even though I did recently see like a mashup and I know I hate when people like go back and look at stuff being like this was weird because at the time everybody ate it up but the list of questions that she was asked Alex Earl that she was asked by Alex Cooper on their inaugural episode together where they're sitting on those inflatable chairs sitting on her balcony how many guys have you fucked when did you lose your virginity do you ever have anal what kind of porn do you like like fucking crazy for a college aged girl so I hate when people like look back I remember I just want to say I feel good enough to know that like I remember at the time thinking it was weird and I think I even said on the show like that some of the questions

42:10Claudia Oshry:were so crazy like anal I remember watching it and being really shocked by it like jaw on the floor um but this was getting the the culture ate right but I didn't I didn't eat it up so like I feel comfortable saying I never thought that that sort of questions were really appropriate or really amazing for women you know yeah yeah but you would have been like such a hater if you said it at the time yeah maybe I just said nothing I don't remember what I said um but yeah again if you ate it up then shut the fuck up now put it on a shirt sure i love that that's really like the moral of the story that's what like with amanda too you were all eating it up like it's not even about alex specifically it's this is such a thing with like like um group think on the internet like you ate it up then but you like hate it now shut the

43:02Jackie Oshry:fuck up yeah yeah if you ate it up then shut the fuck up now oh yeah love are you ready for our next story what number number three oh wow yeah yeah it might be a four-story day um no no we can't we have like a built-in ad break i keep going victoria beckham is teaming up with gap on a new collection so victoria beckham x gap collection is fully in the work sources confirmed to page six that she is ready uh to share her ready-to-wear minimalist luxury bluran to collaborate with the retailer and an announcement is expected soon i love i fucking love a diffusion line like they don't do it enough i feel like h &m had a couple of years where they were doing it remember h &m isabel morant like you could the stories were insane h &m moschino no remember remember was sony for target oh that was like the first one they really they they sold a bike do you remember the bike that was a cultural reset i fucking love when people do this it's not done enough i love victoria back on her dresses are insanely priced like this is this is what we want this is what we want yeah i think it's gonna be great like

44:04Claudia Oshry:basics from like an elevated woman with an immaculate taste thanks no this is great for victoria like because you know there's not a lot of money in like dressing you know they say you

44:14Braxton Berrios:dress for the masses dine with the classes or design for the masses eat with the classes so this is where the money's at i think this will do really well for her financially but she's doing well financially also because she's pivoted to beauty a lot and like makeup is just really profitable and i think makeup her makeup i know it's like a little popular here i think it's really popular in the UK. I use her eyeliner. I bought her like white eyeliner. I like it. Like I keep like meaning to get stuff from her but like it hasn't. Do they sell at Sephora?

44:40Claudia Oshry:Well I got targeted ads and so I bought it through Instagram but then they stopped. Maybe they like you know decrease their paid media spend because I've stopped getting ads. Yeah I just feel like if your makeup doesn't sell at Sephora I'm going to have a really hard time acquiring it. I didn't have a hard time. I had a pleasant experience and then I got the Posh

44:59Braxton Berrios:bomb sorry i mean i'm gonna have a hard time like finding the will to go acquire it it's not yeah i guess i disagree i love victor of course you do i love victoria beckham for gap i just love this i didn't even much like cynthia revo i didn't know this was happening it hasn't been fully announced yet but that's just a little insider information and i want like more people to do this like rachel zo her shit's at tj maxx like ruby exclusively wears tj maxx rachel zo i love this. I love it. Yeah. Are you ready for our fourth story? No. No. Now she's not ready. Is it our fourth story that's brought to you by Hulu's new show The Testaments?

45:36It is. A new dawn rises in Gilead from the executive producers of The Handmaid's Tale comes The Testaments, a new Hulu original series based on the novel by Margaret Atwood. Golden Globe nominee Chase Infinity plays the dutiful teen Agnes, who guides newcomer Daisy through the halls of Aunt Lydia's elite preparatory school for future wives, where obedience is instilled brutally. With no connection to the outside world, the daughters of Gilead's commanders start to challenge authority, seek independence, and explore their identity.

49:37Braxton Berrios:beautiful. Our next story, Megan Trainor is canceling her tour. Megan Trainor put out a

49:43Claudia Oshry:statement saying, after a lot of reflection and some really tough conversations, I've made the difficult decision to cancel the Get In Girl tour. Balancing the release of a new album, preparing for a nationwide tour and welcoming our new baby girl tour growing family of five has just been more than I can take on right now. And I needed to be home and present for each and all of them at this time. I know this will come as a disappointment to my fans and I'm so sorry to let you down, but I know this is the right decision for my family and me right now. I promise I'll be back soon and I can't wait for you to hear this new record I'm so proud of it and I'm endlessly grateful for your love and support always like not to be a bitch I know what you're gonna say like people don't cancel successful tours just saying it's giving low ticket sales and yes I think everything in there is true I think the like she was feeling overwhelmed she does have a new baby and then that on top of like you have to go do a tour that's not even doing well but I think if the tour was majorly successful in terms of ticket sales and she had all this on our plate she would just still sort of have to do it right no I I'm gonna believe her like first of all I saw a lot of her old tour content I don't know why I'm not like a Meghan Trainor girl so I actually think like she has tour shtick and she's like perfect for a tour her songs are fun and like I don't think she like bites off more than she can chew in terms of like venue sizes like I think she like knows what sort of tour she can sell and I think she's become like a new mama of three and so she's in like the same position I am right now and um anything that she thought she should do she probably can't do and that's beautiful i can understand how like you could have a tour and then be like oh just do the show like you know just push it no if i like i would

51:09Jackie Oshry:we're canceling we're clearing the decks so i might agree with you if at present moment she was very culturally relevant and her music was popping off i think a lot of her success is predicated on the algorithm right like she is somebody who has been you know rebuilt time after time she's come back from oblivion people thought she was a one-hit wonder tiktok has been hugely instrumental in her comeback and i think her last comeback which was akudama gucci on gucci launched this huge like catastrophic no not catastrophic like in a good way like huge um yeah like sometimes you only need to say one word yes agreed why sometimes we have to say two or three words thank you i think it launched this huge comeback for her resurgence a whole new generation of fans people were obsessed with her tiktok tiktok tiktok her last tour was pretty successful um she was doing big arenas and i just think that when your whole um like fan base is just predicated on the algorithm and what tiktok will do for you it's not 100 sustainable so i actually just i do think it was unsuccessful ticket sales and there's no shame in that looking at this calendar as a mother of three smalls this could never happen this could never be done even if the all the tickets sold like i'm how is she gonna do this

52:25Claudia Oshry:i'm not buying it it's not possible but i mean she definitely bit off more than she could chew in terms of that but i guess she thought she'd be able to and also like she had her third via surrogacy so maybe she didn't expect like she didn't have to bounce back like she thought she would have like an easier time you're not like struggling with postpartum and sure i could like run out and do a show but like it's not even like the postpartum i don't want to the whole postpartum is a whole other beast but it's just like the having of three littles yeah i'm sorry like you need new team if you thought you could do this well I just want to say I really respect

52:56Jackie Oshry:you for your take because even though I don't agree with it I respect your you know your opinions

53:03Braxton Berrios:and how your life experience is sort of coloring those opinions while I don't agree with this take

53:07Claudia Oshry:of yours I do it in a respectful way I feel like unless you're the mother of three smalls right now like and if you are you see this and you're like oh of course she couldn't do it and if you're like nothing you probably maybe she didn't have like amazing tickets also maybe if every ticket was sold she would have like thrown herself into it had to and like you know had a really hard time but like just cancel you know some you could always just cancel it's just this concert even if someone bought a ticket like they'll get a refund it's just a concert just cancel i love canceling i think that people don't cancel enough and yeah barring like you know adele doing it the day of and everybody flew in because they were on the plane and they got the center like morgan wall and people are literally walking into the stadium yeah giving people advance notice making sure they can get their money back i like cancel more stuff this year i just wish more people would cancel and like don't worry about like your career is not over like it's fine like you have to like you have to prior like you have to live you know you have to prioritize meg's self like this could never happen i don't know why she ever thought it could but sometimes sometimes you do that no that happens all the time i kind of do something i kind of pop was gonna open that's kind of cool i don't care i love it

54:25i need to go see megan trainor on tour and now you do now i can't was she coming to my city maybe i know she wasn't coming to florida at all i know she was going to orlando they always are they always are okay get in girl are you ready for our fifth and final story Oh, is that the song? Get in, girl? Get in, girl. Get in, girl. The new song of hers that I know is My love's gonna take you to the moon.

54:55Braxton Berrios:Yeah, that was like two years ago. Moon. And then she also has a song with Me Be Web. Cute. Yes, she does. Yeah, it's pretty good. She's around. Yeah. She makes it work. She makes it work. She's married to Juni Cortez. She makes a living. Yeah. A good one. And probably my favorite Meghan Trainor fact is that it's actually her voice on the J-Lo song Ain't Your Mama. Yeah, that's like going viral now. It goes viral every couple of years because it is the craziest thing that Jennifer Lopez literally released a song under her name and didn't change. I think Meghan Trainor wrote the song and probably sent the demo off to J-Lo and maybe J-Lo sang a couple of lines, but for the most part, it's Meghan Trainor.

55:34Well, you know Enti, the theory that I sort of moved on from. Yeah, one of the biggest blind conspiracy theories is that Jennifer Lopez cannot sing for shit and has never once sang on any of her records. Back in the day, they think it was Aaliyah's voice. Like there have been many people who have, Julia Michaels, Meghan Trainor, many people whose voice is used for, I think with the invention of AI, Jennifer Lopez no longer needs a stand-in.

55:59Claudia Oshry:Yeah, but then, so I always believed that and I just was like, she doesn't sing, she can't sing. Like it's like the big orchestrated thing and like, but then we saw her perform at the Robin Hood Gala live and I was like, oh, she's singing, okay. never mind yeah she did release and i'm sorry like someone who can't sing like doesn't get this super bowl like they could choose anyone else not the one who's like hiding this big secret so she put a video on her instagram this video i will never forget this video oh the iconic happy days it's like one of the hardest songs to sing in it's sung by barbara streisand no it's sung by like two iconic theater people

56:41Braxton Berrios:they did it in glee curt and rachel like people eat it up she like is singing with her turnt friend and put it on her instagram and it's like literally so bad just jenifer lopez yeah ready

56:58Braxton Berrios:okay it's actually good i take it back

57:05it's just a lot like it's annoying and i wish you could see it it's a lot of it's a lot

57:25they're off too is that jennifer

57:31it's not bad i just want to say it's one of the hardest songs ever to sing she sings so it's not bad it's just like a lot like it's annoying um and also like comments are cracking jennifer lopez and show tunes it's like oil and water agreed they don't mix agreed i don't want to hear her singing show tunes i like that our that was oh our fifth and final story does episode ever like i just feel like every story is like right very for the final and we still have like i it's because i have like a tab here for beverly hills i'm like we're still not on that fucking tab oh god i forgot we still have yeah beverly hills recap but no this is a small story and it sort of relates back to our favorite subject but braxton barrios was spotted with a new lady love i saw they don't know who she is right uh her name is holly ford what a great name yeah she's a model and she's gorgeous and i'm just like mad at

58:29Claudia Oshry:braxton because like sure like it's just rude you know like alex still loves you and you're like out here with holly ford looking so fucking happy like stop and like i know that alex broke up with you

58:39Braxton Berrios:broke your heart left you to die on the side of the road but like go back i do feel like i was thinking about him this morning i feel like alex and him need to get back together and especially at a time like this i know she's a really good support system around her like she's really great friends and really great family but i think she needs braxton i don't think she left him on the side of the road like no i was totally kidding i was kidding i feel like they just didn't you know

59:02Claudia Oshry:i think there were probably like bigger things like cities living in maybe like he wants to like settle down sooner than she does and i just think like life came between them like not anything based on how they feel yeah he was a nice boy yeah and so like yeah he deserves love too and And he seems to be like a serial monogamous, like just wants love with beautiful. He wants to love beautiful women. Like he's a lover of women, you know. I love that. And it seems like they're all like very premium women. Like Holly's gorgeous, Alex, Sophia Colbo. Like he's got great taste in women, you know.

59:36Jackie Oshry:Yeah. What can you do? I don't like it. I don't like it either. There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with it. He has to move on. Yeah, no, he has to live.

59:47Braxton Berrios:I just do it in private you know yeah and he's in LA like go back to Houston where you belong

59:56Claudia Oshry:it's like this season's over but it's like of course you're like gonna get seen in LA like you can date someone I saw he was also paparazzi I think having coffee with the same girl and the paparazzi across the street was like what do you know about Alex Cooper he's like leave me alone so he like he's you know he likes being famous and he's mostly famous like not for his football accomplishments but like for his social life and he's like an investor in a lot of like big companies so he likes that life of course he's in LA

1:00:27okay Braxton okay Braxton

1:00:32Claudia Oshry:next up TV recap Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was that the season finale? Yes was it? Yeah because it said next week at the reunion Oh, good. And they did the text on screen at the end. Oh, my God. Did I finish the episode? It ended with like one last fight between Doreen and Sutton. Oh, my God. Wait, I didn't finish the episode. Oh, that's so funny. I saw her get up after the conversation with Erica, and then Ben came in. Did we go to bed? Oh, my God. I didn't finish it. Let me tell you. You think the episode's over. Text on screen's coming up. Doreen gets up from the conversation. Everyone's sort of parting ways.

1:01:04And then she goes upstairs to sit on another couch with Bows. and Sutton meanders over and is like, you really hurt my feelings the other day.

1:01:14Claudia Oshry:Sutton, like let the mouse go. And Dorit is like, I hurt your feelings. I'm very sorry. She's like, look, you don't even seem sorry. And Dorit's like, what do you want me to do to prove that I'm sorry to you? And the thing is, Dorit won't say sorry to Erica. She won't say sorry to Kyle. Like she's goading toe to toe, but Sutton said she hurt her feelings and Dorit's like, I'm sorry. And by the way, I'm having deja vu because the week before, it didn't have the same conversation. where Dorit said she was sorry. She goes back to have a conversation. Dorit said, you hurt my feelings the other night.

1:01:43And Dorit again, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. You don't seem sorry. And they just blow up out of nowhere and they go back to like text on screen. The thing is, is that I'm like a diehard Dorit fan and I've loved Erica the whole time she's been on the show. She's really pissing me off. And it's not that Dorit hasn't done anything that I like. She's not indefensible. No, that's what I'm looking for. She's not innocent in all of this, right? There are legitimate qualms, and I do feel like Erica has legitimate concerns for her. But doing it with Kyle, you're just giving Mean Girl. Kyle is obsessed with Dorit and obsessed with coming from a place of concern, even though she is so not coming from a genuine place.

1:02:22And I'm sorry, Erica really lost me when she said, well, maybe PK was right. Kyle said that last season or the season before. I think it's so disgusting. Imagine if somebody said that about Tom. mom i just like you lost me completely and yeah whatever er whatever dorita's done she is late and maybe she's been like short and sharp sure like we could have had it out in a civil way but erica went about it the wrong way doing it with kyle because kyle is a bad motherfucking faith actor and then saying the thing about pk and kyle's been a bad faith actor for like three

1:02:50Claudia Oshry:years mind you no and and re clocked her when kyle's listing off all the nice things she's done for over the years which yeah you used to be a good three years ago three years ago what have you done kindly for me since when have you supported me since Kyle and Dorit for me I don't even see why they would need to be friends at this point like there's nothing really to salvage there it is such a shame with Eric and Dorit because they like did have a real friendship and the fact that it could just turn so quickly and I understand like Dorit took it to here at in Italy but like so did Erica so they both need to like forgive each other and apologize to each other it's not one of them who did something more wrong and I imagine Dorit is such a frustrating like a not a fun person to be friends with right now she is frantic she is late she is stressed she's overwhelmed but like that's the point of friendship is like if you can't be a friend when it's hard to be a friend like anyone can be a friend when it's easy Dorit and Kyle will never be friends like they are so far from one another yeah I do think that Dorit and Erica is a friendship worth saving and that there's a lot of miscommunications happening but as long as Erica keeps operating like under Kyle's thumb it's and like also in defense of Kyle if she can't separate her friendship with Dorit from the three of them it's never going to work yeah and I want to give Erica more credit not that she's operating under Kyle's thumb because I really don't think she can be like managed like that but I think that she should recognize that she should take up her beef with Dorit separately from independently like not be on a walk the three of them and be on Kyle's side like it's never going to end well because Kyle and Dorit aren't going to end well so like she needs to not be backing up Kyle just have like her own separate grievances and because the way that she's airing them like it is a gang up yeah and then like just Kyle's so desperate to make it all like we all think this we all we all we all and nobody speaks up on her behalf like and she's like screaming at everyone it's so desperate she's obsessed with like getting everyone to turn on Dorit and it's just not happening it worked on on Erica though yeah and then also Kyle's like will someone speak up and then Erica's like agreed and then Sutton agrees like Sutton is the biggest follower it's the craziest thing I just want to give MVP like I'm not of the season but just wow major congratulations to Amanda Francis who turned it turned it out she turned it around I thought her um reasoning for going to Dorit's event was so genuine genuine and like that's what we're always saying like women who support other women and it's like if you don't actually support another woman if you if you're worried about her finances but you won't actually support her endeavors and trying to make money like are you really worried about her finances and I thought the Dorine's book party was going to be like like kind of sad because who has a cover party for like a book they haven't written yet and half the castmates don't show up just like are unveiling a picture but it was so full of love and purpose and and meaning and I was so not expecting that and then to make it a celebration of Boz's engagement and the girls that were there were really there for her and it did turn into be like a big moment in the season and like I I now want to now I see like what supporting Dorit's book will mean for Dorit I will be ordering Dorit's book I also just one thing with Amanda I completely agree I still think

1:05:58Jackie Oshry:she's like miscast and whatever but I do think she turned it around and there is something about walking the walk and talking the talk and that's exactly what she did I just want Dorit to be like a little bit more grateful like I thought they had a nice moment but it would have I think went a long way with Amanda just to be like you know outwardly grateful and she was like nodding and smiling and it was nice but I think she should have been like a little bit more uh like charismatic

1:06:21Claudia Oshry:yes um I think that the way that we watched it as viewers the way it was packaged to us made us realize what how Amanda was like going out of her comfort zone to do this whereas Dorit might have thought like the whole cast was going to come and now these people who have like long-standing issues with her aren't coming but like why would amanda francis miss a cast event not realizing and i think maybe i'm gonna give her credit that when she watches the episode that she will have amanda more of an appreciation for like her line of thinking that's a good analysis because she probably just expected amanda to show up just like she shows up she

1:06:55Braxton Berrios:has to show up for her job yeah yeah yeah yeah no you're right you're right it was sweet it it was

1:07:00Claudia Oshry:sweet and i thought that was like a really sweet moment and episode i'm lit up for the reunion i I know it's been a boring season, but like I'm down. Yeah. I know it hasn't been more exciting. Just like the girls. I don't need them to always be popping off. It's been like a little frustrating, but I've enjoyed, you know, watching the glitz and the glam and Rachel and Kathy. Bring Denise back. Bring Denise back. Erica's saying bring Lisa Rinna back. Bring Lisa Rinna back. Even though I don't think at this point she would. Really? Why? Because right now she's having like a big moment. I don't think she needs housewives.

1:07:32Maybe there were years where like if they would have asked, she would have come back. but right now she's kind of riding a high from traders her book did really really well I think she's like big in fashion she has to bet it's couture couture honey and I think right now she doesn't need it but it's not gonna last and she knows that better than anyone maybe the next time they reach out she'll be in a place where like she should accept it but I don't think she

1:07:52Claudia Oshry:needs to right now no she doesn't even though I would love to have her back she doesn't need but like I think she'd be coming back in a position of power I think that you know if she'd come back in the other years when she really needed to like now she's coming back sort of on top of the world Like she has a lot of fan love behind her and her daughters are like so successful. You know, she'd be coming back as like a big dog again. Yeah. I think that she should. And I think that I'm ready to see her. I'm ready to receive her. Micheal. And there were many years where I wasn't. And I like need that for Dorit.

1:08:25Claudia Oshry:I need all this pressure off of Dorit. And like, it's all. Dorit is carrying the show. What's frustrating. I think it's like it's the demise of her family that's carrying the show. It's not even like she's in there stirring the pot. It's like it's such like a real thing. It's almost not fun to watch because you just know like what's coming for her. And I hate that it's like the central drama of the show because it's not a fun drama.

1:08:49Jackie Oshry:Yeah. It's not like tea and whatnot. I had a really hard time coming up with my Queenie and Weenie this week. just because like I haven't really made a decree on Lix Lex. So like maybe I could have made one of Alex's my weenie and one of the queenie, but like I don't know where we're at yet. Yeah, yeah. And that sort of took up my whole week. So I will say let's do Queenie and Weenie, our final segment of the week where Jackie and I like to give out two awards, Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week. It's a great way to wrap up the week, send you guys off into the weekend, take a look back at a glance, if you will, and give out two awards.

1:09:20Jackie Oshry:They're pretty self-explanatory, Queenie of the Week and Weenie of the Week.

1:09:22Braxton Berrios:If you acted like a queenie, you might be queenie. if you acted like a weenie, you might be a weenie. Start with Queenie. I know we do it every week the same, and I always forget. We always start with Queenie, yes. Okay, my Queenie is more of a thing. It's a noun. It's not a person, not a place, but it's a thing.

1:09:40Claudia Oshry:Okay.

1:09:41Jackie Oshry:And it's the leading news source for Alex v. Alex. I feel like we kind of carried the internet this week, just in being like the internet's big sister. Yeah. And I feel like we gave a lot of really nuanced takes. We didn't like jump on the pile on. I feel like we're being very measured. And I just think the work that we did this week, if there was like a digital Pulitzer, like a Shorty Award, a Webby, I feel like what we did this week was spectacular. Honestly, I'm giving it to the toast. I love that. I nominate. I'd like to thank me. Correct. What about me? Queenie? Queenie. I mean, how can I top that?

1:10:16What am I going to say? What am I going to say? Like, yes, of course. I know we only give it to ourselves sparingly, but like, I'll take it, you know. Okay.

1:10:26Braxton Berrios:wiener so many i know i actually have one but i would start stuff and i know like i don't i can feel it no you don't yes i do i do know i'm gonna text it do you really yeah if you guess it right i'll share it oh i love that for us whereas wow we haven't texted in a while we haven't texted in a while we're always like communicating in group chats pk texas texan memes texan memes okay now I'm sending it to you. No jokes and memes? No. You got it wrong. Okay, tell me, but you don't have to say it now.

1:11:02I don't even know who that is.

1:11:04Braxton Berrios:Yeah, you do. I will not be saying it. So I'm abstaining from Weenie this week just because, like, I'm seeing all the internet drama. You can't see a real Weenie? While I'm living for it, I don't want to be a part of it. So, like, I'm not starting stuff. Okay. I think that's fine. I think it's fine. Do I have a Weenie? No. you have a vagina

1:11:27okay I don't believe in giving out weenies like superfluously no then that's mean-spirited agreed and takes like the power away from the title like if you weren't correct super weenie

1:11:38Braxton Berrios:what a great week Alex Earl if you post your fucking response video in the next hour or two like I will seriously never forgive you yeah save it till Sunday night at this point yeah I don't think Sally would let her do that to us.
