Watch What Crappens discusses Real Housewives of Miami S7E5 Part 1, focusing on new cast taglines and early plotlines: Alexia’s anti-narcissism “self-help” storyline, Lisa Hoxie’s hurricane/insurance worries and ongoing Larsa/Jody tension, and Stephanie’s introduction at Shoma Bazaar (plus hints of family/backstory drama).
Diallo Riddle is a comedian/writer and co-host of the podcast One Song; he created South Side and Sherman Showcase, and has written for Jimmy Fallon, working with Maya Rudolph and Barack Obama. He’s also a longtime Bravo fan who’s attended Crappens live shows.
Alexia’s “self-help expert” Daniel feels like a meta/meme aggregator and the anti-narcissism party is a nonsensical Greek-themed event. Larsa’s villain energy is necessary for the show, and her “hard to get on my bad side” tagline fits her character. Stephanie’s brand-flexing and “Shoma” authority feel like an obnoxious setup for future revelations.
Alexia’s “gut feeling” advice; Lisa Hoxie’s MSA and hurricane talk; Stephanie’s Shoma Bazaar scene with Birkin/rain, egg-roll statue b-roll, and her family bragging about constant calls.

2:13Hello and welcome to Watch What Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that just love to talk about i'm ben mandelker and if you're watching crap is on demand you may notice that the person next to me is not ronnie carham unless his surgery went i tried to look like him but i just didn't come together ronnie is uh he he actually got his eyes done today which is so exciting and uh you know congratulations ronnie congratulations all eyes on ronnie but so in in his place we want ryan to have a very speedy and wonderful recovery we do we do uh we have a luminary this is someone who is so impressive and so i'm gonna say important oh gosh this is yeah i did not write this yeah yeah no uh what you have written is many many things are many many things you are the co-host of one song which is a podcast you can listen to right now if you're a music fan even if you're not a music fan you should listen to it you are also the creator of south side a beloved and hilarious show and sherman showcase and you're a writer on jimmy fallon and you've worked with the likes from anywhere from maya rudolph to barack obama and now you are here it's diallo riddle hi diallo hey thank you for having me i gotta say that uh i was telling you right before we started that uh i've done many things but this is where i don't want to it up because this is my one it's literally such my favorite podcast uh that i have nothing to do with and uh this is actually the podcast that got me into bravo really before i watched bravo i would walk through the room and my wife was laughing and i was like oh what is she laughing at and i was hoping it was something i'd written but no it was you guys and we came and saw you guys live at one of your shows in new york and we just i was immediately like what these guys do is freaking special like it was so funny and so i started listening to the to the podcast and then i started watching the shows so that i could get an extra layer from this podcast and i went on uh watch what happens i actually told uh i actually told andy i was like i wasn't even into bravo until uh watch what crap is came along and he was just like yeah i love what they do so yeah there you go that's awesome and you you had a very special night because you got to be on the same night as meredith marx and i i'm so happy not only did i get to meet meredith but uh brooks was there and uh we got to hang out with him in new york that night we got to hang out with brooks it was really fun and kind of surreal are you watching next gen new york city absolutely and i think uh yeah it's just brooks is brooks is a star and i'm i feel like there's a there's a lot going on in that show i i just started watching it but i'm loving it so far yeah i um i'm really enjoying it too uh brooks is i think brooks is a revelation on that show because i always thought brooks was this like you know fashion city gay who's just like over everything just like going to a fashion show but it turns out he's like very like meek and sweet and he just wants to be home and crochet and like that and that's like so lovely i love the the scene where uh he says you you fired me yeah that That was so funny because I feel like she was kind of like on the verge of firing him the night we were hanging out.
5:26So I was just like, man, that just must be something she does. I think that she probably, she's like Murphy Brown. She's just like, you know, we're fired. Except it's always the same secretary. I will say when I was on Watch What Happened, she said something to the effect of, because I was on there to talk about Salt Lake, which is, you know, obviously surreally good. But at some point, I think I had mentioned Beverly Hills at the time a couple of times. and she just she turns to me during a commercial she's like what about my show so much to say about you why are you not talking about salt lake city i brought my toddler here and you're not even there i'm just getting ready to leave um the yeah that's uh we she came meredith was kind enough to come on to our show when we were in utah a few years ago and she was great she was so fun and seth was there we had no brooks we had heather though so that was a fun time i can't wait for salt lake city to come back however in the meantime yes we have i think probably the next best thing to salt really is special which is miami yes it's so good and uh so much happened in this episode in particular because i will say that the whole fight between julia and gertie was really uh it was kind of getting me down yeah I was definitely like a team Gertie kind of person.
6:44I felt like, you know, to see Kiki and the other ones sort of not understand where she was coming from was a little bit. I was just like, are y 'all not listening to this poor lady? Yeah, I thought that was that was wild. The reason why I called upon you today for Miami, aside for the fact that you are wonderful. And by the way, thanks. Thanks again for mentioning our podcast to Barack Obama. That was a real honor. that was i i'm pretty sure you i'm just assuming you did oh of course it was the first thing out of my mouth you're like you're like hope more like crappies um but uh the reason why is you were also this is not your first time technically on the podcast because you've been a host i'm not you've been a guest or two times yes on the crappies and i mark my calendar i i love the crappies the crappies are so much fun and if you're in that city you have to drop everything well thank you it is so much fun and it's not even just for who might show up it's for the camaraderie you feel in that audience like we were all singing away in a major and a barlow voice at one point in the audience like it is it is absolutely uh up there with bravokon i think thank you i mean uh it's it's i mean it's the best we love putting on that show and and because you do bring everyone together and everyone cheers but the reason why i brought you on for miami day because i'm gonna have all i'm gonna have subs all week which would be very exciting but i thought of you for miami because uh three years ago when we did it at the will turn yeah uh miami won best show of the year at the crappies that year and you were sitting in the front row and i just remember opening up the envelope to announce like best show of the year and reading real housewives of miami and you fist pumped you jumped from your seat and you punched the air and went yes there was an open bar uh miami is special i freaking love miami it has so many things going on in it that don't happen on any other show yeah um specifically i love the fact that you have such a diverse cast like it's it hits so many different levels and you you have like you know alexia it seems like there's a rotating cast out of that last position you know dr nicole's gone but now we have stephanie like it's it's never stopped being interesting yeah they all they really like they understand the assignment like i feel like everyone understands the assignment it's not just the cast members it's like production does production yes i meant to say like i feel like this is the show that changed the way all the housewives yeah it looks beautiful yeah it's shot beautifully it showcases the city i really just love it my one like i'm gonna give a quibble which is that this episode they were starting to do that thing where like a lot of like on-screen chyrons and silliness in in terms of like goddess of this and that later on.
9:28I don't like when shows do that because the show - Goddess of tardiness, yeah. Yeah, we don't need the show to add a joke onto the joke. Like the women are already funny enough, so when they do that, it's like, you don't need to squeeze that lemon for extra juice. Like there's so much lemonade over the coming. Can I also say I'm a music guy, I always notice music. The other thing that they've gone, and I never thought I would be saying this, but I think bring back Trixie Monocle, I think bring it, because like now they're doing this sort of generic instrumental reggaeton as transitions and i kind of miss like miami's hot hot the heat will burn you like i miss all those i know it's like it's like they were like doing ai generated lyrics before like like chat gpt came along it was like okay we need a song about miami and heat and the tropics and the beat or or uh you know plug in the words boss bitch oh yeah my business you know watch me do like I it's weird because before AI was everywhere I felt like there was AI generating these songs and now that we have AI they're not doing any lyrics it's very confusing they're really slacking on the job I'm never gonna take over like the world at least do a good job of it right um by the way I I've people who don't know about one song is that you guys really you take a song and you just like go in and you like to peel away layer by layer and analyze the shed out of it which of course begs an important question are you going to do the one song treatment for adriana's song on fire we absolutely i think that you have pretty much just did the lyrics that is absolutely we need to do that you know the thing is we'll probably need to find the uh the musical stems on our show we don't just talk about the uh the the cultural context in which it was created which on you know for her would be amazing uh but But we also have to find the stems because we want to say, hey, here's the drum line.
11:13Here's the bass line. And then we talk about the legacy. I don't know that Faya's legacy has ever been explored on a podcast. It is definitely a gap in our repertoire. I'm sure we can find the GarageBand file for you, and we will get those loops ready for your podcast as soon as possible. Looking forward to it. I'm not going to lie. I do wind up singing that song to myself a lot, like way more. But anyway, let's get into it. We've already bantered so much. This is a big episode for two reasons. uh we didn't so we didn't recap last week because we were off for july 4th oh wow and so this is our first time on the podcast talking about the taglines and also the new cast members so this is instrumental and for anyone who's watching with crappens on demand it may look very different that's because since we're in person we're using the the my in-person camera setup so if there's any wonkiness i apologize ahead of time i've literally never done this with crappens i've done it with my my board game stuff but not this so apologies ahead of time but shall we get into the Miami taglines.
12:10Let's get into the taglines. So the first one is Alexia, and she says, well, I may be a Cuban doll, but I'm no one's toy. How do you feel? Is that... Well, can I just say, I thought she was going to change this tagline, you know, because I think they had to change it for like a copyright or something like that. Oh, Barbie. Barbie, yeah. I like... Oh, Mattel was like, you know what? This is too much. She doesn't represent the brand. Which is weird, because it means like somebody at Mattel was really watching the show. Like, I mean, like, I thought she would change it, but now we've got the same one for the past two years.
12:40But, you know, she is admittedly one of my favorite, you know, on the show. Yeah, she's the one who actually wrote me in in the beginning. Yeah, she is actually great. And it's amazing because in the first three seasons of the show, she was not the central one. And now that they've, like, really centered her, she's just one of my favorites of all time. Yeah, she does feel like the center of the show. Yes. Then we go to Larsa, who says, It's hard to get on my bad side, like, because I don't have one, like. Like honestly, if I'm being honest, yeah, Larsa, man, I feel like she's another sort of you can't replace her like you need her on the show.
13:18I mean, yeah, and especially in this season, I feel like she's she's in rare form. She's in Tarsa. So she was on season one and then not season two, season three. She was so awful. Season one. Did you ever watch those original three seasons? I've gone back and discovered that. She was wretched that first that first season. but like, you know, now, I mean, she's still, she hasn't, she's not not wretched, but she's, but she's like entertaining wretched now. She's such a good, and I'm calling her a villain, but really like, she's the villain that you have to have on the show. Like there's nothing better than, and granted we didn't know he was gonna die yet, but when they're in the car going to the Milan, she says, your father is dying and you're here in Milan.
13:59Like, you know, like, it's just like, that's the kind of energy that I think we need on the show. Yeah, and I actually love when Larsa drops her baby doll voice to get real, because normally she's like, I had a really good time today. I'm in Milan. And Lisa's like, well, my dad's dying. She's like, well, what are you doing here in Milan? And I love this other voice comes out, like the real Larsa. That's the real Larsa. That's the real Larsa. I mean, I almost don't recognize her when that scene where she's with her mom or whatever. But when she comes out, she comes out. How much do we love Preston Pippen, by the way?
14:28I love that. Yeah, sure. She seems nice. She seems like a cool guy. I have to say, I have remarkably few opinions on President Pippen. I don't know. It was nice to see such a chill dude who looks identical to his dad. I got to say, the other thing I loved about that Milan episode was Fabulous. Fabulous as the referee. That was insane. Judge Fabulous. By the way, I would totally watch Judge Fabulous. 100%. Like, Fabulous settles an argument between two people we just met at a party every episode. I would love to watch that. Yeah. Good for him. Fabulous. He lives up to his name. but Larsa what do you think about this line it's hard to get on my bad side because I don't have one I feel like it's it's it's fine it's fine it's fine I feel it could be a little better yeah I mean especially for Larsa it's such a big personality you want something that like really screams out but you know what I do like about it is it's in its own way dishonest yes it's definitely on character yeah that's what I like about it then we have Gertie who says I'm a fierce fighter and an even stronger survivor yeah she got the words out yeah you know with Gertie it's always like this push and pull um no i mean like look we're so happy that she's uh cancer free and uh and i've really been i've really been following i've been on her side for a lot of the struggles this season yeah oh i think we're all on team gritty uh julia oh gosh my chicken coop is full and now so is my house i don't not her glass of water it's not full not full anymore not full um i thought i thought we were going to go with some kind of goat reference you know like you know to raise goats you've got to be the goat or just something sitting there like something right there i mean chickens are not really her personality it's more like goats i thought actually there might be i thought like today yeah i was i was surprised that chickens got the tagline not the goat and then today in today's episode as we see there's you know a very serious hurricane that that comes through, which I love.
16:23I love that the show has a hurricane in the middle of it. And she mentions that she had to lock up all her chickens to coop, and I was like, oh, so this is why the tagline, because the chickens are gonna get loose and they're gonna run away, as if you hold drama for her, but they didn't. The chickens were fine. I feel like with Julia, there's so many directions they could have gone. I'm not sure even that the end of it, and now so is my house. Okay, but we haven't even seen these kids. I don't know. It seems like a big house. I feel like two children, it's like. it's exactly i don't know martina's not her hurting for space yeah uh lisa i may not be prompt but i'm worth the wait um and our shady shady ass note taker i think this is a typo but i love her so she spelled wait w-e-i-h-t a little bit of shade there i think it was i think it was a typo but it's a very funny typo nadine so uh we appreciate you no lisa lisa's having a stand-up year you know and she finally got to briefly walk the runway.
17:22That was the shortest walk I have ever seen, ever. I was like, did she just cut it in half? I feel like she didn't even walk as far as she was supposed to. Maybe she missed the first half of her walk because she was late. I don't know. By the way, I'm not sure that Lisa Hoxian is worth the wait. When she says, I may not be prompt, but I'm worth the wait, I'm not sure two hours is a long time to validate. man i mean like to to that two hours seems in in term of i don't know how they got those i i mean that must have been part of sometimes i i don't know if i should even say this but i'm gonna say it say it sometimes i feel like the producers have to know like like when when lisa and larsa had the same car like that seemed like that was just a just to stir the pot a little bit and then maybe they gave lisa the wrong time because two hours is insane so um back in like the the early days of crap ins yeah jill's aaron came on to the show and she was like you know what the producers do they always put they always make us run late they always put us in cars to make us run late so that way when we get the event we're all agitated and i always that's for 10 years that have stayed with me that that's actually one i have something they freaking they like they're not late it's just the producers send the cars late and then everyone's annoyed and then fight and then they fight and then they can't say well production was late and by the way it was suspicious i knew somebody was going to be late this season when we first meet stephanie and the first thing she says is there are a couple of things i don't like i don't like people who are late this is the callback okay she's like i'm gonna set up my storyline for the producers so i know how to how to set the scene i don't like people who are late i hate when people eat olives it's like next episode like olive party no that was yeah i feel like sometimes i'm like hmm i see some foreshadowing happening here and speaking of stephanie speaking of stephanie you want to stephanie's line you you do it i don't just sell luxury i live it okay like i feel like if you had a a plug and play uh with a lot of stephanie's just this initial we've only known her for two episodes essentially um i feel like there's always saint bart's or birken bag or like some of these things are like sort of like real housewives staples but there seems to be just when she's talk about the gifts that she gave to her uh you know sisters she doesn't say you know suv or car she's like very specific range rover yes you know like there just seems to be just this extra level of like i'm going to remind you that i know brands i don't know you know yes um i think that i read that as an endorsement like she's just so extra obnoxious i'm like great welcome welcome to the show.
19:57It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crapins commercial. There is such a better way to spend your time than doom scrolling or watching terrible TV. Get some stories in your life, okay? Audible is perfect for that. I use it while I'm cleaning the house, while I'm running errands. I listen to books all day, every day with Audible.

Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zeevo flying insect trap. You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot. Like house flies, fruit flies, gnats. And then with Zeevo, bam. Next thing you know, the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors.
21:22The best part is the design is actually sleek and curved, so it hides the bugs it catches, keeping them out of sight, and when the cartridge is full, you just grab the no mess tab, throw it in the trash, pop in a new cartridge, and then you're done. No mess, no stress. So whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends, and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs, Zeevo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection. Plug in a Zeevo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.
22:20But when Lisa said, who are you, boss baby? And then the editors cut to a very boss baby shot of Stephanie. I lost it. So now you're saying the minions and the boss baby. When she said boss baby, I was like, that's hilarious. But then just right now, I was like, but I think it's actually maybe she's like a minion. A minion with like a little Bob. I don't know if it's a Bob or whatever, a flip or something. She just walks around and she has her like retro, like Jackie Onassis outfits. Oh my gosh, but you know, I think I hear you on that. I think there's gonna be a character that we get to love there A couple of did you get Brian?
22:53I didn't say that. I didn't say that lover. I just said that she's gonna fit I was getting Bronwyn vibes a little bit. That was the first thing I thought really mm-hmm Yeah, see I think that like anytime you hear I haven't talked to this family member Decade or something like that. You're like, oh, this is definitely gonna be a story I can't wait for the internet to do its detecting. Oh, yeah, she'll have she'll everything's gonna come out gonna find out that her whole group is bankrupt and it's just gonna all crumble for her we see the trajectory already but i love that she um she comes in and she feels very comfortable yeah um but she is obnoxious like oh my goodness like the way she was greeting people i was like oh god she would wear me out in real life but on the show like i'm like i'm very happy about this you know and i well we'll get to what happened later today i really enjoyed how she handled herself today but why don't we dive into so the episode so we open up with alexia oh god what a funny scene to open up with so alexia arrives at a restaurant and um she she comes over and she meets this guy named daniel who is a self-help expert he's just sitting there and i'm already just like laughing at the idea of being a self-help expert i was like does that mean you're an expert at teaching self-help everything about her makes me laugh i always told my life i'm like she feels like sort of like this there's some kind of bird, maybe it's like an ostrich.
24:14Like there's just something about her where her posture and everything just feels like she's like, and she carries her like when she's, she has, she gets into a certain mood where she like lifts her chin up high and she's like very imperial. Like, you know what I decided is I'm going to meet with self-help experts. Yep. So she - And I like how she says that this, she's like, he's very young, but he's very wise. And I'm like, he's a self-help expert. Like you said, I'm like, I don't even, I had not quite heard of that before. yeah yeah i've heard of like motivational speaker but like self-help expert is it almost sounds like he helps other people who do self-help to self-help the way he self-helps right it's like he's like if you want to write a book about self-help i will tell you how to do it he's like a meta self-help person but um yeah she's like yeah he's so wise you know um so they've met on she says that they've met because she was on instagram and we see all these flashbacks you know about like you know alexia's journey with todd trying to get over her and she's like oh well i came across daniel on instagram and he's like a life coach so i just started liking his pictures and i just felt like a lot of the messages he was posting really resonated with me and like what i was going through so these are some of the memes that he has never try to defend yourself against a narcissist they already know you're right they just want you to go crazy trying to prove it oh he's so wise wise beyond his years i just love that she's saying like how wise he is like he's like has tenure at like ucla he like started some program and like understanding narcissism and it's just like he has very trite memes up about like you know if you don't like it if you don't like yourself then look in the other per the other way or something like that very generic it's it's basically everything that gets forward he's almost like a meme aggregator but he like has half of it the meme and the top half is like a picture of himself yes which is sort of weird when you're always addressing narcissism he's kind of like to self-help what adriana's lyricist is to music like he's like he's sort of like a predecessor to ai i i do love that song i love it so much it's so good it's really good um i also really appreciate the fact that um they do this uh montage flashback to all the stuff that alexa has been going through and she's really been going through a lot i mean like you really want to like look out for i mean trust me I am one of those people I just don't understand why she thinks that Todd is good for her in any respect yeah and you really just want to kind of reach the screen be like come on dude I have a theory yeah I think that she does not want to fail at marriage three times yeah and I think that always comes up right I think that like there's a part of her that's like maybe I can make this work because if i fail at marriage three times maybe i have a problem which she doesn't necessarily have a problem maybe she chooses wrong guys but doesn't mean that you're when she says um when she says uh i'm still attracted to that i was like oh is the dream of every who ever lived yeah some woman is like crying over him saying that she's still attracted to and it's like todd of all people i mean it'd be one thing if it was like i don't know if it's like mauricio yo yeah or like even even that that random french guy who adriana showed up that guy kind of makes sense even martina okay even who had the weirdest take of the entire season when gertie came over and said hi to her and she just kind of shook her head and smiled it's just joker grin that was so weird i know that was that was amazing but yeah alexia is just like going through it and so she was like you know i was listening to a lot of life coaches and a lot of them were women women but i guess with daniel it was just a different perspective because like it was coming from a man and so even though he was so young he had so much wisdom he had man wisdom i don't know what what about him being a man yeah that was weird that was you know this is my this is my personal issue with alexia like i love the person who i see on the show and i'm like oh man it'd be great to meet her in real life and be like best friends but then i'm like there's like a weird sort of like a darest i say like a conservatism that probably comes from like her you know the part of cuban culture she sort of seems to cling titus to but like just like yeah the fact that he's a man meant something to her and i was just like you could probably take this advice from anybody yeah i was like maybe she's trying to like say well i i understand well that's not even she's she she she presaged uh it would by saying something like you know like i went to all these like you know women coaches but then he seemed to really connect with me even though he was a man and you know like and then she sort of went off from there so in her defense you know that probably did mean something to she's she's on a real nurses anti-narcissism kick this season which i think is actually really funny i mean hey i stand by it like let's get rid of the narcissist i but i hate to i hate to say it but like it's a show that's built it's a network that's built on narcissism i mean she even kind of references they're all they they're all narcs as uh marisol would say the narcs are gonna get you it's like that's not so far can i say marisol i've been really happy with uh this season because she let the all the cocky jokes pretty much go that that stuff was like coming across his grandma jokes and i was just like really do we have to make that joke every episode uh i feel like she's been uh she's been a lot more real and i'm really happy about her wedding yeah it was nice i thought it was like when she said some of those sentiments about like well we're getting old and we need to look after each other i was like that was actually that was really touching yeah it was it was that was really touching apparently her brother can't get dressed up for the occasion literally just wearing a shirt with three buttons open she had an eye patch on for some reason i don't even remember why but let me tell you i played a character with an eye patch on sherman showcase and it seems fun when you're writing it yeah but i totally i sympathize with her dude you don't realize it's not like closing one eye there's something weird that happens when you're covering up that much of your face you lose all depth perception it's terrible yeah well uh you're a hero for getting through that thank you so much so this guy daniel's like well you know what you do you know when you when you meet people you do get that gut feeling and you have to listen to your gut one flag will turn into 10 flags and by the 10th flag you've lost who you are by the 20th flag you do by the 10th flag you turn to lisa hockstein did you really understand that by the 10th flag thing i think i know the point he trying to make but it was such a weird way to make it yeah i guess it's that you're you're seeing so many flags you're you're now you've ignored so many flags that you've forgotten who you are i i guess you've just you're skied past them exactly off the slope into the abyss and you've lost yourself completely and she's like oh yeah oh well my head you know my thoughts aren't aligned with my heart right now like my head is telling me alexia be careful but my heart is so strong that can kind of just like blank out my head which i think is kind of a funny concept with alexia like i hate to break some news to you but i think that may have been blanked out before so uh he's just like you know you think yourself and you're you're still so susceptible to it to being on the receiving end of it and that's why you need to be so self-aware and as you know i've written three books now and coached over 350 people into being victims of narcissistic abuse as he winks to the camera and like a twinkle appears in his teeth uh yeah i you know this guy i always feel like there's just a certain group of people who show up when you have a lot of money and they figured they figured their way into your wallet there's a little bit of that going on with daniel this is the guy so i thought in my mind i'm like okay this is just a scene where alexia is just going through her narcissism thing and she's you know figuring it out and talking to some guy because they always pick up these random strays on the show and have these like mojitos with them but then the surprise of the scene is that she announces to us that she's going to be having an anti-narcissism party and it's going to be greek a greek theme as one does a toga party we're always throwing those inspired she's like well that's where narcissism began the greeks okay that's where the word there were no narcissists in ancient egypt that was there no yeah it was humble barrel very humble he built a pyramid it was for the people that's why the first person who tried tzatziki just became instant narcissists that is so funny i love i love that she's doing because this is why i love the show that they're having an anti-narcissism greeks gods and goddess party it makes literally no sense But we're gonna do it anyway, and there's also gonna be a hurricane too Well, I will say I now it's probably a good time to say I did I feel like I learned so much from this show about like safety Yeah, I had no idea the coconuts were killing people in Miami.
33:08I had no idea is I thought it was the frozen iguanas falling out of the trees That's what I heard. Well, I'm also like I guess between coconuts falling and lightning These are the worries that people in Miami. Yeah, I know this is this PSA is up there with I forget which which maybe this Alexa, but she was like, you know Some people have that disease where eyeballs fall out of their head when they were talking about Jodi Some people have that disease where their eyeballs father had I was like these are the PSA's other shows aren't willing to tell us about cuz I didn't know that was a disease And what I'd like about Miami is I'm not sure like I they are PSA's cuz they are definitely a public service announcements I just don't know if they're actually I don't know I don't know if anybody's fact check I don't know that I believe coconuts kill more people.
33:54I'm gonna say coconut deaths per year. Actually, I feel like I heard this and I thought it was like a, it was a lie. Okay. Yes. It was on another Bravo show that this came up. The claim, this is brought to you by Adriana's lyricists, AKA Google AI. Cause that's the only thing that answers. But he's not writing songs. Yeah. The claim, we don't want Grok to be writing songs. We'll tell you that much. We thought Kanye was bad. yeah croc's going for the throne yeah yeah he wouldn't even talk about lisa with that last name no he wouldn't it's like i refuse i'm he's like a baker in colorado so uh the claim that 150 people are killed annually by fallen coconuts is widely considered a myth oh see while some death do occur you can't trust anybody i mean if adriana isn't going to be accurate about coconut deaths who will be but um we now go to lisa hoxie's home and she's like well i thought we dodged hurricane season it's still category five which by the way i guess now is a good time to mention we never really talk about this i don't know why ryan and i do lisa hoxie like wow talk like this but it's fun but it it captures something about her yeah no that's one thing i love about you guys it's like you guys get down to the essence i'm always blown away by the voices so uh she's talking about how they've dodge hurricane season and Jody, full of charisma as always, says, this time he actually, he's so excited, he parts his teeth by, I think, half a millimeter.
35:26Doesn't he seem like a guy who's very, doesn't wanna be there? Even when she sat down to talk about her father, his body language was like, I was literally like, does he want to be in that room? It was very weird. I think he wants to be in a room with some better AC. I think that's it that's all he's all about the AC so he's like oh I didn't see it going to be that bad I mean this place has a lot of windows well hurricane insurance you're supposed to have hurricane insurance right it's by law you have to have hurricane insurance he's like yeah don't worry it's not going to roll at all but what about the hurricane insurance okay all right how about that new house that Lenny is building so Lisa's telling us that Lenny is still building this house for her this could be a shitty house right this is a house that's gonna fall apart right absolutely absolutely i think we all first off i don't know how many of us knew what msa stood for that that was that was new that was that was a psa about msa it's a psa about msa's marital uh settlement agreement um yeah this is a weird coupling because i also i i want to say i think that jody truly does have her back in these times uh but her brain still seems very lenny focused in 100 yeah she's full lenny she got full lenny on the mind she has not moved on from lenny and uh but then when you see like her weird relationship with her father you realize that she's kind of used to having you know sort of like sort of almost like an absence of the approval of the man she really wants you know what i mean like so it's kind of started with the father and then yeah of course and now it's it's it's lenny i mean pretty much like i would say 75 of all real housewives are just grappling with issues from their father i think that's just It just goes back there.
37:11I hadn't really thought of it that way. Maybe parental, but you're kind of right. There does seem to be this trend. I think it's going to be, yeah. I feel like they, I mean, I'm sure they have mommy issues. Like Whitney's, from Salt Lake, Whitney's dad is like in season one. Yeah. And then he really disappears around season two or three. Yeah, and he like literally disappears. Yeah. Yeah, I think that they're all just trying to like deal with their daddy issues in some way. And, you know, God bless. man if only they had an Australian self-help expert to guide them along the way that's all they mean man they could have been so much happier so so Lisa's talking about her like this MSA and everything and then she's also like really mad because Larsa brought up Jody at Marisol's wedding and she's like I feel like people take advantage of me and then you came into my life and that stopped and people are mad about it people are mad that I've got somebody that has my back and that's fucked up, that's what it is.
38:07Can I just say, like, I think, you know, and I always think Larsa's a bit of a villain, but I kind of agree with Larsa that it's weird if, it's not weird that they ran into Marcus, you know, at the restaurant. To me it is weird that they would take a selfie, even if Marcus takes the selfie, why post it? You know what I mean? Like, why would Jodie post that? It's weird that Jodie posted that. because Lisa didn't take a selfie I think that is thirsty and it's also like why are you clout chasing with Marcus of all the people of all the Jordans when you could be clout chasing with an actual Pippin instead you could probably clout chase with the Pippin if you play your cards right maybe I just think that it's I kind of understand where Lars is coming from of course she always presents she's an example of somebody who can be on the right side and present it in the worst way but I think that you know yeah well uh so she is lisa's just still like really mad at larsa about this this about like the fact that larsa brought up chodi at the wedding and now she's got like a chip on her shoulder and she's gonna you know their feud is gonna grow commercials here comes one right now there is such a better way to spend your time than doom scrolling or watching terrible tv get some stories in your life, okay?

40:36So now we go over to Stephanie walking into a place called Shoma Bazaar. You don't know what Shoma is? I mean, like, you know, if you go to Miami, you're going to visit Shoma. Shoma. I mean, it's like the MoMA, except it's quiet. it it's got one of these really tacky shoma written all over the wall sort of thing and i like how i like how like stuffy went out of her way to say oh you know he started in the early 80s i think before i was born you know like it's like okay you definitely prefaced 80s with early so that you could say that it's before you were born hence i'm so young yes exactly she's like i'm pushing the fact that she's so young while she's dressing like she's from mad men from the 60s so she's gonna be it's raining outside and like she doesn't want to get her Birkin wet and everything and so uh she starts telling us just an excuse to mention their Birkin yep just an excuse you didn't see it yep yep oh my god Mike I might have gotten this Birkin wet don't want to get the Birkin wet why'd you take it out why'd you it was raining when you left the home it was rainy it was raining when you're walking from the car like where's your JC penny bag for the rainy days that was that was extreme you have to have a rainy day bag i assume so she said yeah she says this whole thing about how her husband's are the shoma group and everything and that they built over 12 000 homes and condominiums in townhouse condominiums in miami falling over anyway i just have to assume so i assume i i actually meant to look up and see whether his was one of the ones that collapsed but um but hers is of course shoma bazaar which is a restaurant sort of like bar type thing i don't know what it was it almost looked like a we work in there it was like it wasn't clear it was it looked like her manager was in trouble for last week's sales because he was like it's been much better this week it's a weird thing to lead with it's sort of actually not even a we work it almost felt like one of those like capital one cafes that you see around totally you know i was like what is this show up bizarre they have a credit card what are they doing in there so um so they're there and i guarantee by the way we are definitely going to start seeing lots of lawsuits against the shoma group everything's gonna get dug up it's all gonna come i'm getting that vibe class action yes you know this happened someone fell down a staircase that we're gonna we're gonna find out her husband has done some really crooked stuff it's gonna it's all gonna come out in the wash it's gonna be great i mean it's first you just can't have a real estate developer that doesn't have any sort of like skeletons skeletons they literally i mean we've seen poltergeist they will literally build on skeletal skeletons you may not have skeletons but he does have apparently a big red statue of a naked woman with her legs crossed uh with an egg roll placed on a it's it's insane i did i completely missed that statue did you see that statue that statue is nuts yeah i love it i always i love the b-roll they get sometimes sometimes you're just like what the hell was that who was the person who put the one the single egg roll on the statue you put an egg roll why are they serving egg rolls the same place that you can get like a like a sandwich with a prosciutto on it listen chartine take notice show up bizarre is changing the way we do things changing the way lunch looks so she's doing this thing where she's like as president of the shoma group i oversee almost every aspect of shoma acquiring land the hospitality division the marketing the sales the leasing the employees the egg rolls i know exactly where they are at any given time get that girl off the statue they are there who put the egg roll on the statue we are shooting a scene here so she's just once again you know announcing how important she is so people come to meet her so larsa and kiki show up and they sit down to have this prosciutto in the presence of the egg roll this is going to actually really bother me now because they got like several like prosciutto on like uh ciabatta bread yeah i just don't understand why there was an egg roll yeah there's Sometimes, I'm not saying we can't have sort of open format dining, but this is too extreme.
44:31This is really taking global cuisine too far, I think. So Stephanie calls her mom and they speak Spanish and just say hello and everything. And then she starts saying like, oh my mom and dad call me a hundred times a day. They're like my best friends. I like to take them on my honeymoon, which everyone is like, did you take your parents or did Brittany take her parents on your honeymoon? That truly didn't happen. but i also think it's ridiculous what uh i mean i think once again larsa's on the right side of history but then when she says like you're supposed to be hanging from the chandelier you're supposed to be having sex four or five or ten times a day like she always reminds you of the crazy lies that she's told in previous seasons somehow i'm like oh yeah there's that time when she claimed she was having sex five times a day with with uh yeah precisely and you know what's interesting stephanie is saying about how her parents call her like every single day like multiple times I'm realizing now that she's in a way, I think maybe bragging to her twins through the TV.
45:28She's like her twin sister. That is so twisted. I didn't even think of that. Yeah. I didn't know. I didn't think anything of it because we didn't know about her. But she's basically saying like. I talk to mom every day. Yeah. You should talk to me because mom and dad love me. They call me like a million times a day. Yeah. I think you're absolutely right. That's the familiar version of saying, oh, my Birkin's getting wet. Yes. She's telegraphing everything. She's family bragging. So then Kiki's talking, she talks about her dad. She's growing in her relationship with her dad. She found out she has a little brother and everything.
46:03That was just weird to me. I had no idea. First off, her dad, he's everything you would think. What can you even say about that man? How did he say that he had a four-year-old? He was like, you know, he said something in the effect of, we have a four-year-old that I gave to her. Or something, it was like a weird way of saying. Actually, it's literally written right here. And she said, in the flashback, Kiki's like, oh, I thought you were with someone new. So you do have a couple? And he goes, and he says, yeah, she got one little boy from me. From me? That was, she got one little boy from me? Like, he did the work.
46:40Yeah. That was so bizarre. It was like he said, hey, when you go to the store, can you pick me up a liter of, like, Diet Coke? Yeah, she got that for me. Yeah, she got that for me. Yeah, that was crazy So, you know, they're talking about parents and Stephanie's like every day that goes by is one less day that we have on earth I mean times ticking I'm no one to talk because I was inseparable with my twin sisters I have twin sisters by the way, unfortunately I did what I shouldn't have done which is malt they say don't work with family and they got a job the showman group And it just didn't end well because they are shit workers who said that on camera anyway Now we haven't spoken in three years probably because they've been getting fired left and right from every job they've had ever since i mean again this this is one of those stories that i think we're going to find out the other side of the story yeah because i was just like wow that's that's really lame of her sisters and i was like oh i bet you those sisters have another story to tell a hundred percent they do and she says how she i'm a really giving person which is hilarious because by the way you haven't given anything so far and you've been on and you've been on for one episode in 10 minutes and i haven't seen you give anything yeah you know uh and she's like i mean i gave him a Range Rover and I gave one of them a Mini Cooper.
47:44And I was like, oh. So, and they were like, are you ashamed? Isn't that like a little bit of a disparity, giving one person a Range Rover horse Mini Cooper? Those don't seem like they match. It's like, you need all the space and you need nothing. I feel like that's who's trying to drive a wedge between the twins, literally drive a wedge. She's a Manichean. Yeah, she's Machiavellian. She's definitely trying to take over something. I like what she's talking about like, oh, I have to speak to 80 men sometimes, you know? like i have to be the boss yeah you know it's that's i talk like this because i talk to men all the time always comes back to talking to him yeah exactly so she's just um talking about how um yeah i talked to 80 men that's how i talk that's how i deal i'm i'm i'm a boss she's like that's what i really wanted you know trixie to come in with like i'm a boss boss bitch you know something yeah it would have been a perfect segue and she's and they start talking about um julia's baby shower which by the way i thought julia and stephanie were not going to get along because remember last week when stephanie came in and remember when julia came in and they said oh stephanie doesn't like children and then julia had a look on her face like but i have two children and i have my children uh yeah i thought that wasn't going to work out either but that wasn't the play yeah they had they had other issues that were gonna instead actually julia actually recruited her to be sitting to sit next to her at the baby shower much to adriana's you know chagrin yeah that was that was interesting i remember that also the baby shower was just funny in general because uh julia talking about like you know i i guess you know martina not expecting to know what happens at a baby shower and she's gonna have such a skewed view of what happens at baby showers like some of those things that adriana came up with i've never seen any baby shower ever the weirdest thing about that baby shower for me that i could not get over was how it was just the cast so it's probably like eight i think it was like the the seven or eight people on the cast plus there were two randos sitting in the corner and adriana just had a microphone in her hand the entire time like she was talking to it like a giant room and i was like think about that i was like why do you have a microphone they're driving me nuts i was like you're this this is not a this is not a microphone and then when alexia tries to say something and then they go back and forth and i was actually surprised they called out the bridesmaids of it all i was like this is so producer yeah this is so producer 100 percent so uh now so uh what's her face stephanie starts to complain about lisa a little bit she starts to say how you know like she's like well a lot of the girls gave me like a really warm welcome although i already know who's gonna like me and who's not gonna like me and we see this flashback to lisa last week which was crazy that was a crazy flashback from lisa i mean like was she she just had to be really drunk to even say that kind of stuff wasn't she i think so i think it's a combination of drunkenness and like just her base level stupidity that is crazy i want to be frizz with people who have jets and yachts i just can't imagine somebody saying that if you're just not completely trash but i think you're right i think that's who she is so normally i would think that's like a super tacky and obnoxious thing to say i do and i do think that i also feel like on this show like it's weird that she gets villainized for that by stephanie stephanie who has come on and bragged about how she gave a range rover and a mini cooper and she has this and that and everything and everyone brags about all the items that they have and they and she has her broken bag and then someone so like she clearly you know like like luxury items are her love language and she literally says it as her tagline and then lisa's like okay i'm gonna talk about luxury like like this i'm gonna speak your love language that's a bridge too far yeah she's like that's not cool no you can't you you actually said that you you're thirsty for my yacht and i need i need me to want you to come to my on my yacht or something like that so she's basically stephanie's totally turned off by what she sees as like a probably like a social climbing superficial thing from from lisa she she sees superficiality in somebody not in the mirror and it really turns her off yeah she's not happy about it whatsoever but it's also like it is a stupid thing for for lisa to say and also just shows her true it was just really weird i mean i wouldn't be friends with her it actually it actually made me think that maybe she wasn't addressing maybe the editors made it look like she was saying it towards stephanie but like stephanie wasn't there because it's just a weird sentence yeah you know but i mean like i can i i don't know why i'm defending lisa on this i can also see like tongue-in-cheek it's like i can sort of see it be i could see it landing tongue-in-cheek yeah maybe if she was if the timing were a little different it could come across it's kind of funny yeah and ironic but that's still probably wouldn't say it so i um so you know lar and then larsa of course piles on larsa so happy also by the way stephanie came to us through larsa so i think that like stephanie has come on as a ally of larsa to go against lisa but by the way i always feel like the person you bring on this show inevitably becomes your enemy i mean always like you know um didn't didn't renna bring uh it's like everyone did she bring denise on technically denise yeah it just happens time and time again it's always i'm bronwyn and Lisa totally and it's just it's at some point you're like okay they're on the show okay great here come the jabs I feel like right now though I think that for some reason I feel like Stephanie's just gonna stay on Lisa's neck I think it's just like for sure easy prey yeah and she really I think she's gonna be able to like just I think she's gonna thrash Lisa around all season long definitely this season and I'll be funny because we like we love to see it we love to see it I think Lisa probably doesn't need some allies at some point we'll get into that once we get to that uh splinter van situation yeah i think yeah i don't think she has any allies i don't think she has anybody she has jody so uh now we go to marisol and she's like you know getting ready for the hurricane so steve steve brings home like a lantern saying oh thanks boo bear thanks for the for the lantern oh whoa we're gonna gotta get ready for this hurricane gotta get some cockies ready in case we lose the right she did say she did say cockies in the seat i'll give her that it wasn't in the testimonial yeah and then julia is like the rain was coming down like this reminded me of the the episode of golden girls where uh do you remember this day there was like a they had like a saturday night at nbc i think they had like a hurricane that spanned from golden girls into empty nests oh that's hilarious i i used to love those kind of crossovers me too good those were the best it was like a whole night event where like every episode had like some sort of thing empty dust was such a good show um it's like a forgotten sitcom it's totally forgotten i met ron and i mentioned it quite a bit on this show we mentioned dreyfus and dine manoff right fairly frequently but that is a that is there is it's really underrated it's a sitcom that there's certain sitcoms that fall through the cracks and never really shine in syndication there well i think it was a hit then but i feel like if you ask anybody you know no one knows anybody under the age of 40 about it they're never gonna know It's not going to be on a hip t-shirt.
54:46You're not going to see Dreyfus on a t-shirt. And people will be like, oh, yeah. It has no research. I think that and Mr. Belvedere. Dear John, I remember being pretty good. Dear John, great. I love that theme song. Dear John. I can say the whole thing. By the time you read this letter, I'll be gone. We do have that in common. We do love classic sitcoms. We really do. There's your next podcast. Now, I'm not going to stand on a soapbox for nurses. I felt like nurses did not quite really. I don't think I know nurses. It was the spinoff of Empty Nests. It was bad. I think I went 227 to Amen. That was another great combo.
55:25That was a great Saturday night at NBC between 227, Amen, Golden Girls, and Empty Nests, or Facts of Life, depending on what year it was. That was just such a great, great schedule lineup. It was basically the Real Housewives of Miami of scheduling. For sure. Golden Girls was like Alexia. and oh gosh meaning like this is a whole we didn't want to go down so it's the star of the lineup yeah yeah i could see that i thought you were going to say like okay so who's alexia is that blanche like i thought you're going to go oh no no no no i'm just saying like i'm getting real meta that like if if golden girls were a cast if the saturday night at the thursday night a saturday night lineup on nbc where real housewives of miami i think alexia is golden girls hmm larsa is maybe empty nest i thought julia's empty nest in a weird way really even with all those chickens okay yeah that's true maybe not you might be maybe julie do you remember that surely is julia's perfect strangers to me she's sort of the weirdest she's the brunson pin show she really is if perfect strangers migrated to saturday nights on there was a time when mad about you was on saturday nights on oh wow is that true it was weird okay it was a weird time okay getting back to this um so basically uh julia's like she's locking up her chickens and everything and uh gertie is you know you're just walking around and she's like guys this is the day one of the storm and the wind is winning look at this it's already starting oh my god i'm gonna go to fight this hurricane and then adriana this is where we find out adrian is psa she is this she is having such a creepy scene here because she's like it gets this reminds me of r.i.p britney what's her face in that movie like i'll never tell what is that is it called i'll never tell no it's not i don't know it was that where she was just saying that and i just feel like that's what adriana was doing to the coconuts she was just like staring at them as like i'll never tell because she's like saying how the coconuts are gonna she's like funny fact more people die from coconuts every year than bullets it's like she's looked at like charts of like all the ways you can die and she's just like this one comes in right between like lightning and like getting hit by a kawasaki jet ski yes yeah she says more deaths caused by coconuts falling on people's heads there and there are lightning striking people i don't know what sort of anti-coconut lobby started this rumor but i don't appreciate it it might be the coconut lobby that they want to you they want you to donate their coconuts to them harvest those coconuts before they kill you don't want them on the trees folks get them down we'll take them hurricane season's coming up it's a coconut drive bring your coconuts to the to the to the high school auditorium absolutely so we see the hurricane comes through and everything it's wild um and it's it's kind of this interesting interlude because in some ways they didn't even have to show that there was a hurricane right like they could have just skipped the whole hurricane i don't think it was very impactful on anything no not at all and i think they just you know sometimes these shows they they're like okay guys we need three minutes we need three minutes i think that's what it was and there's so many time jumps this season like you know you watch that first that first episode it was like two weeks later five months later a week later like there's been so many jumps they're really all over the place they're really all over like by i think in scene one of episode one people still are married people still have husbands by you know the end of the episode nobody's married exactly so i i i don't feel like we needed the hurricane but i'm glad we had it i felt like it was it added stakes to an episode that was a little a little bit of a laser episode it was just like okay we have a hurricane and then the hurricane passes now it's like one day after the hurricane and marisol is like walking around she's like surveying it and she tells us this cracked me up when she said this she goes wow i'm so happy that the hurricane passed right over us i mean i knew it was going to happen i manifested it my manifestations have been on point so you're welcome miami because marisol manifested the hurricane passing by no one was hit i mean can you manifest more often than becomes the question probably i just love it was like it was her manifestation she saved the day she stopped the hurricane with her manifestations so unsung hero of miami on this episode i always thought like Like you use manifestation to like manifest, I don't know, love in your life.
59:54Yeah. You know, happiness in your career or something like that. No, apparently for some people, it's just like, you know, bloodless, bloodless hurricane. Yeah. Just like, no, no. Yeah. No falling coconuts. That's actually the most important thing. Thank you. So now Alexi and Gritty meet up at a cafe and, um, you know, they, this is the first time since, uh, the, both the hurricane and the wedding. and so they're you know they say their hellos and everything and Gertie's like you know with the group right now I just feel so misunderstood I don't and I don't understand I don't understand what's happening so I have this little bit of time to reflect more on what's happened since Marisol's wedding party and I I've been thinking a lot about a lot of different things and like I just feel so helpless at the point where I just don't I don't feel like I'm being hurt at this group and like I just I feel like I'm saying so many things and I'm wondering about so many things and like no one is understanding like do people understand that like there were coconuts in the sky I could have died we all could have died Russell almost died because there was a coconut nearby like i think people can hear you gertie but i i but for real it is weird people are not like i think it was so terrible what happened to gertie at like julia was terrible that night at the wedding i mean like and the fact that like they were like well now you've got to leave you know like i thought i thought i thought the whole thing was very bizarre yeah um and a little and a little microaggression i have to say right kind of yeah very much so yeah very much so i mean like uh you know people online sort of agreed they were just like you know like did julia just morph into like the worst kind of karen you know yeah i just don't know where that came from did she say like okay like you know i'm on the chopping block for the show or something like that so i've gotta like go be extra because this is all about like a zoom call and some sort of cruise sometimes you fall off of zoom like it's like she said i saw the number drop out and i so i knew that she was there Like shit happens on zoom all the time.
1:01:37Like, you know, not everyone. And it's a zoom about announcing an adoption I just If it was not important enough, whatever it's I understand why like congrats can come across this cold because you know Especially since it's the prompt now. Yeah, I quit phones But just the idea that like, you know, oh By the way, she did something that I think was absolutely aggressive which was she told her oh you'll see it in the news like because she dropped off she couldn't tell her she couldn't just text her like it's it's we're announced that you know we've got the twins you know like come on guys yeah it's i it's all ridiculous and the fact that she wound up like throwing water at her so like it's wild so gertie is saying like she's like you know what i texted everybody about the new york stock exchange thing and everyone's like we're all googling about the baby shower but like i'm her big thing is that she rang about the uh i don't know why gertie just looks really happy to take pictures like all the pictures of her on the on the cruise on the on the controversial cruise like you know she likes to take pictures she likes to you know announce that you know she's doing stuff but it is also kind of funny like in just a meta way how she's like i was ringing the bell at the new york stock exchange and nobody came out to support me like drop everything i i wonder if she said nyse in the in the text message that like instead of like new york stock exchange like i'm going to the nice or whatever i hadn't even thought maybe maybe they just were like we don't understand what this means i'm ringing the bell at the nice like is this like a new is this like new slang is this well we've already established that some of them don't know the word clandestine so i don't know that we know that they would know where to go she's like hey i'm ringing the bell at nice don't do it in front of frankie so um uh so she's like really upset because she's like no i did this cool thing i went to the stock exchange gertie went to the stock exchange and no one even said congratulations.
1:03:26It's just like invisible. It's like, I just feel like I'm speaking. It's like not even reciprocated. Like what is even happening? You know, it's like my opinion is my opinion. Like, you know, you tell me you yell all the time and like you yell all the time and everyone has ups and downs, but like how come when you can yell at but I can't yell or whatever and Alexa is just shaking her head like, like I'm allowed to yell from the star. Yeah, no, seriously. And I felt like I thought she was gonna, you know, usually when people get together at their lunch, they take the side of the person that they're at the lunch with.
1:03:51Right. But this was sort of surprising because alexia was just like you've got to do some certain stuff yeah you know it was almost like a continuation of of people not hearing her but it did seem to come from a place of genuine friendship this time and yeah i think what gertie's biggest problem is that i think she's often on the right side but when she gets activated she just starts talking and like no one like she doesn't hear other people and then no one people just stop they disengage from trying to like communicate with her so then she always kind of like that's what he said when they were at the pilates place i think it was the plotiest place but yeah she's just like sometimes gertie's got a gertie but you know what i i sort of feel like let let don't don't dim gertie's light don't know what i mean like just let gertie gertie yeah like gertie gertie let gertie gert and so gertie's just going on about this and she's like i just think that everybody has to take accountability in the sense that their own actions and alexia finally finds a hook in to change it and make it about herself ironically because she's like oh yeah people are not taking accountability that's the traits of narcissism she just i think someone said her like the word of the day and it was like narcissists she's just she read the etymology she knows it's a noun like you know like i feel like she just went to town on this word and she's like ready and she's like you know i feel like a lot of us having my greek party yeah by the way i'm having a greek party about narcissism i'm like you realize you just made it about you but you're talking about an anti-narcissism party but you made it about you in the process pulling away from Gritty but yeah she's basically like yeah you guys have to move forward so that way we can come to this anti-narcissism party hello there this is a two part recap okay this is the end of part one so thank you so much for listening to this just come back a little later for part two watch what crappens would like to thank it's premium sponsors ain't no thing like Alison King It's always a party on Alison Block Our way is the Amber way It's the Foster and the Furious It's Amanda Foster She can run my country, it's Angie McGovern It's always automatic with Ashley Otto Put your hands together for Carly Clapp Get on the right foot with Chrissy Offutt She's not just a Sheila, she's a Daniela Etchles We never miss her call, it's Diane Call Erin McNicholas, she don't miss no trick-a-less Hava Nagila Weber You'll never hide from Heidi Eleanor Jones I go, you go, we all go for Hugo Jamie, she has no last name-y She's our kind of mess, it's Jennifer Messer Sips some scotch with Jessica Trotch She's our favorite streamer, Caroline Peacock Kristen the Piston Anderson Get a bee in your bonnet with Lacey B K, surah, surah, whatever we'll be, we'll Lauren Sillsby Bringing the funk, it's Leslie Plunkett She gets an A from us, it's Lindsay D Let's give a kisserino to Lisa Lino Fresh as a daisy, it's Maisie McHenry.

Or figuring out how to wear a Linfinity dress. Or understanding Tom Schwartz's purpose on the Valley.
1:08:49In a world full of confusing choices, thank goodness for Nature Raised Farms. They believe that food shouldn't be complicated. Especially chicken. But the freezer aisle often makes it that way. Too many options, too many additives, too many compromises. Do I like complicated chicken? No. No. Chicken should be fun. Complicated chicken, not fun. Chicken should meet a higher standard. And Nature Ray's Farms is free from gluten, dairy, and soy. There are no seed oils and no artificial ingredients. Also, Nature Ray's Farms chicken is a good source of fiber and only between 8 to 12 grams of fat per serving dependent on the product.
1:09:26Chicken, that's just chicken. When food is that simple, there's a quiet joy in it. And we love quiet joy. Like the moment Erika Jayne puts down her microphone. Keep your life simple with your new favorite chicken. Nicher Raised Farms Chicken. Because chicken shouldn't be complicated. Is there anything better than your team bringing home a W? How about a personal W for your health? If you're 45 or older and at average risk, it's time to screen for colon cancer. Now the number one cancer killer of people under 50 in the U.S. It's easy to put off when screening feels like a hassle, but Cologuard Plus makes it simple.
1:10:02It's non-invasive, requires no prep, can be completed at home in about 15 minutes, and is 95 % effective. Talk to your healthcare provider or request Cologuard Plus online, Rx only.
This is part one of a two-part recap
Lisa makes everyone wait two hours on The Real Housewives of Miami, which is fitting because they’re headed to a… Greek gods and goddesses narcissism party? Only this show. Plus, Guerdy and Julia bury the hatchet — for now. Special guest Diallo Riddle (One Song podcast) joins Ben to break it all down.
