#2918 RHOM S7E5 Part 2: Too Late to Apologize w/ Diallo Riddle

In short

Real Housewives of Miami recap, focusing on (1) Kiki and kids at an indoor miniature golf outing, (2) Stephanie and Masood touring a model apartment to showcase his “animal lover” persona, (3) Gertie and Julia’s restaurant confrontation ending in a detente, and (4) Alexia’s “narcissism” self-help party with mirror quotes and Lisa’s late arrival.

Guest backgrounds

Diallo Riddle is the episode’s guest; the transcript is mostly host banter and recap commentary, with no detailed biographical background provided for Diallo.

Key claims

Mini golf scenes are often “boring” with kids, but the hardest holes are the tricky “volcano”/precision ones. Masood’s animal-loving setup (turtles/muffins; dogs in a model unit) is staged to prove he’s compassionate. The Gertie–Julia fight is framed as a realistic resolution after a water-throwing apology tied to a Zoom/“cruise seating” misunderstanding. Alexia’s narcissism party is treated as a meme-driven, curated “experience,” with producers’ graphics criticized.

Notable examples

turtles fed muffins; dogs peeing/pooping on a model bed; mirror quote “You cannot fix someone who does not want to be fixed”; Gertie and Julia arguing over a Zoom link and cruise dinner seating; Lisa arriving two hours late.

0:39Care hard. Cook easy. I was watching The Real Housewives of Orange County the other night, and I was thinking so much of this drama could have been solved with turkey. I think that about so many things. Exactly. Just get everyone around the table with a delicious meal. A turkey meal. That's how you bring people back together. What if it wasn't Thanksgiving? Being the Grand Dom isn't a one-day-a-year affair. Every day is a chance to get down with turkey burgers, ground turkey, and more. Eating turkey is like watching Bravo.

Butterball simplifies cooking so you can focus on who you're cooking for.

1:57Who cares what happens when there's so much that happens? Hi, everyone. Welcome back. This is part two of a two-part recap. If you're wondering where part one was, well, go check in the feed and be sure to subscribe. That way you always get your episodes. But enough of that. Let's get right back into the episode. So then we go to this place called Puttery. And Kiki and her son Shamar and his friend Neary, they are at this indoor miniature golf course. Yeah, we know these places. Yeah, yeah. They're fun. Fun times. I enjoy that i love miniature golf i actually love miniature golf can i say i freaking love it uh one of my first dates with uh my wife britney was uh it was mini golf uh and uh we had some we had some memorable times on you know near the dragon and the windmill um which i will there's no need to go into that but uh yeah a solid mini golf course is like always fun for me yeah i one thing that i am upset about is that i don't feel like there's any good miniature golf courses in los angeles really you know what um not even boomers okay not even the castle castle park listen castle park's not great yeah but it it does it does satisfy a little bit i hear there's a good place in pasadena actually that's actually only nine holes maybe okay it's a hey it's the quality of the holes it's as i always say it's the quality of the whole quality of the hole that's what jacks taylor says but i think so here's my issue if i may yeah i know we have a lot of episode to go through but i i think this is important i love a real whimsical miniature golf course and i think that technically there's a difference between putt putt and miniature golf i think like putt putt is actually kind of a standardized course or maybe it's like it's all about like and like blocks and angles whereas i think that might be putt putt and or maybe that's miniature golf and putt-putt can get super whimsical where you go into windmills and stuff like that and what i don't like here's what i don't like what don't you like i do not like when you are approaching a miniature golf place and you see the windmills and you see the goofy things and you're like oh it's gonna be great this is gonna be great and then when you get there those are just things that are like on the side of like pedestrian that is horse you know and so you're playing and you're just playing on the typical like it's basically like an l-shaped thing with some angles on it and like all these fun dinosaurs and windmills you're not even interacting with and i'm like you that's a false advertising i hate that like i want to i want when i play miniature golf i want i want to be like flintstones or something where like that ball's going up the back of the dinosaur and then dropping into at least one rube goldberg machine it's like mousetrap i need to i need to like be interacting with all the fun stuff i think that's why i do like castle park look castle park's got some some bullshit holes for sure yeah that's my memory of it some of their holes definitely have like windmill and ball drops in here and then rolls around here it's got some good stuff i want like all sorts of funny contraptions and wildness and like there's a hole over here and a hole over here i like i don't want to deal with any others you know what's sorry one last observation about this no no i didn't know we were going here didn't know we're going full mini golf yeah i'm triggered well honestly because nothing really happens in this scene so this is just this is one of those scenes i swear to god anytime i'm i'm i'm a father so i could the scenes with kids are almost uniformly boring yeah almost always because nobody can say real conversations and is yes fun to see kiki fall into the ball pit dress like a supermodel and that kind of stuff but like that's the most you're going to get out of those scenes like they're just yeah i love them missing i love that they're giving kiki more personal stories especially as a friend of that's almost unheard of yeah but um this was not a terribly interesting scene it's cool that her son seems great and his friend perfectly fine yeah perfectly fine scene perfectly perfectly fine kids oh i thought you were saying perfectly fine son it's perfectly fine it's fun but the miniature golf hole that i hate the one that i hate them actually i don't hate it but i think is the hardest one of all tell me if you feel this way it's usually found on the more pedestrian like non-whimsical ones yeah there's a hole of course yeah and it's surrounded by like a round almost like like uh it looks like a little volcano where it's like round and and there's a little bit of an incline like a cone with a hole in the center yeah that because you have to hit it perfectly because if you hit it too soft it like rolls or up and then around and away in a different angle direction and power everything everything has to be perfect i totally agree that's the hardest one of all i i think the one that i dislike the most is like when there's like a hole and you think it has to go in that hole and down to a lower level i love that but then when you get up to that hole you see there's actually another hole behind like a brick over here which is the preferred hole and you're just like oh man you can tell me there were two holes that's true but i have to say one one thing i love is when you i'm surprised you don't like boomers i feel like boomers don't they usually have all the whimsical holes no no they they are they are whimsy teasers they my memory is that boomers has all the stuff next to the next to holes but not actually oh you know what i'm glad i never pulled over on the i-5 because i always see that when i'm driving to like huntington beach or something i'm always like on one of these days i should have like the time to don't go and do that i'm reminded of uh marisol's you know sometimes if it's what is it if it's good for the hole but it ain't good for the soul well what's good for the whole is good for the soul like that was written right one of the producers handed that one to him right 100 what's what's good for the hurricane is good for the pain if it rhymes a producer yeah anyway long story short i i love i know too late i love i love when uh when you do hit like a ball into a hole and then you have to like it comes down a whole other level like that's the best that's just fun it's just fun okay well anyway this is a great scene so kiki larsa comes over they talk about kids uh she wants to be in a good place with with shemar Kiki calls her dad and it was great.

8:06So then - I gotta say if Shamar were like 10 years older, Larson would definitely be hidden by him. Right? Like the name Shamar alone, like I feel like she'd be like, mm-hmm. Shamar, we just have like a connection like - Oh, 19, oh, okay, even I can't do that. He's young, but he's like wise beyond his years. He's just like such a gentle soul. We just laugh, we laugh and laugh and laugh. Isn't that messed up? That was the first thing I thought. I was like, Lars is sitting at a table with Shamar. Watch it. Yeah, watch out. I don't think she's going for Neary, though, unfortunately. I don't think that's going to happen.

8:45So, God bless him. So, then we go over to Stephanie and Masood. So, this is Masood's first big scene. Yes. Husband thing. Did you feel like Masood, this was, I couldn't tell what was going on with this scene. Masood was acting, right? he was acting i was 100 i i thought so i i thought the whole thing this whole thing felt like a setup to show like you know to introduce yeah yeah it's like wackiness but so they're there so masood and stephanie are there and stephanie's in full boss baby mode full like like okay we we have to look at the rooms we're gonna look at the rooms and he's like but i only want to look at one for one for no reason but i only want to look at one no more than one scene needs tension we need to establish stakes exactly

9:34hello my name is masood and i only will look at one room that's all i will need to see god forbid we look at second room

9:44so she's telling us she's really trying to sell us on masood because you know so many people think that like because my husband is older like much older like 45 years older that like he's older at heart but that's so not true let's look at some footage let's show the footage of him in a backwards hat okay and we see this guy totally like you know that meme of like steve buscemi with yeah hey fellow young people exactly is that from what is that from 30 rock or community or how's that from i thought it was a commercial wasn't it oh maybe it is completely wrong i thought that was a commercial from a little bit back but it could be yeah you know someone will tell us but um yeah he's just like in that hat he's like doing some sort of like tiktok dance and i was like oh this is so this is so sweaty it's really sweaty you guys don't do this to us we'll remember we'll remember him dancing when the with the lawsuit start next season yeah exactly he's like i want to listen to some roney chapel and i'm like i'm okay chapelle rhone um so she's like yeah and then larsa met my husband and we went to dinner and after dinner she texted me i was like oh my god you're the old lady of relationship your husband is so fun and you're not letting him live his life ha ha that's totally me because i have to talk to men you know 80 men at a time so uh they're just like talking about like the she's talking to vanessa this employee and they're looking at models in this in this unit and here she goes again saying you know every time we go tost barstst barst yeah i'm telling you dudest barst you know massoud he loves animals he loves animals setting it up setting it up because these dogs have to shit eventually in the room so we gotta establish he loves animals he loves animals he's other wrong here and here's how you know he loves animals because every time we go tost bart's there's turtles and so massoud goes to the grocery store and buys them muffins and leaves muffins all around the streets ofst bart's first off i've never owned a turtle this was this was very informative to me i didn't know that you could feed turtles with muffins i didn't know that muffins were their preferred treat i didn't know that that was what you'd buy when you own the turtles you own muffins the muff the turtles are like can we get some leaves around here why do they keep giving us these believe that there's something more more turtle friendly than a muffin also please don't leave muffins on my street who's leaving all these muffins you know we have a little bird feeder outside and when we moved in here dom got a bird feeder and he filled up little nuts and everything he's like oh my god the birds will come here because he loves animals too although he would never leave muffins around parts in his case i believe it it's not just setting up a scene yeah he like loves animals like he was gonna do like animal science if dance didn't happen pretty once again oh i'm sorry go ahead yeah well i was just gonna say like this bird feeder put all the stuff in there and the first thing is a rat a rat shows up so like i guarantee most of those muffins were eaten by rats they're definitely eaten by rats uh when i was growing up my father was into birds he had a bird feeder in the backyard and he was just like waiting for these birds to come in and they did for a little bit but then we started hearing all these gunshots and when you grow up in atlanta sometimes your neighbors from the country and our neighbors the lawsons uh they were from like make like outside of macon georgia and it turned out that melvin lawson was like shooting at the birds with his shotgun and so my dad goes over he's like melvin stop shooting the birds i want to see the birds and you're shooting the cardinals and the blue jays and all these beautiful birds to shoot fun fact the Lawson's used to they used to eat the squirrels really they did it because that was a thing that was a thing in the south you know where they were from so like you know I'll never get grandma Lawson I'm sure she's gone now but God rest her soul she was like I was well meets Hardy she was sitting in the living room watching cable and she was like I wish somebody go out there and kill me a squirrel I went over the house One time you can see little pause thinking out of the pot.

13:37It was crazy for real life and life and in metropolitan Atlanta because it really is a mixture of city mouse and country mouse You know what I mean? Like some people are moving there from New York or LA some people are moving from you know Dallas, Georgia, you know, it's crazy the not pause coming out of the stock pod And I could not believe it but I just kept walking why didn't they get that like that's almost like a cartoon. That's almost like, cause I feel like realistically if I'm cooking something, I'm not letting a paw dangle out the side. I want it all to be cooked. There was like at least two little paws to get out of that pot and the steam was coming out.

14:12So just from an OCD point of view, I'm like push the paws in so that you're not losing the steam. Also how many freaking squirrels were there? They were actually brown paws, so they might've been chipmunks. This is not the diversion everybody was expecting. When you said that like you had these birds coming to the bird feeder then all of a sudden you heard gunshots i was like wow i'm glad that's what those birds weren't carrying it's like now they were smarter yeah these days these days unfortunately everyone has a gun even the birds so anyway the point is that they they look at this one model unit so it's they're like showing off to america to be like come come live at shoma bazaar wherever they are and then they're like and then she's like i want to see another unit no no no Oh, don't please don't look at other units.

14:57Take me to another one. I don't need to see another unit. Must do TikTok challenge. Must post once a day to please algorithm. He's like, how do you do new Gen Z heart samples? So then they go into the other model apartment and there are two dogs because there were two, we didn't set up that like at the top of the scene, there's mentioned that like, because the hurricane, two people abandoned two dogs right at the complex and so they put them into an empty unit but they went in and it actually is not empty because it has it's a model unit right and the dog has shat on the bed and peed on the pillow all over the place yeah so this is where i was confused because i'm like i understand like acting to set up a scene but are you really gonna like but you're gonna have the poop and the pee too on your own model i i what i didn't get was like again i was like you leave these dogs alone it's not like they have like keys to let themselves out so like what you kind of expect you know like yeah they were in there for hours uh but i think all this was just to show how much he loves animals i think so because he doesn't really hold it against them yeah and she's the one who's freaking out because you know she's serious business lady she's very serious but the thing that really disturbed me on the scene was that when it ended um there was a shot of a lady cleaning up the mess and she was i don't know if you know she had like some lysol she was like spritzing the sheets and wiping the sheets down with lights i'm like lady put that in the washer you're not putting do not weissall the from no that's that is all going to wash her if it might even be thrown out that is not that's not gonna do anything what are you doing this is not a tile this is not this is not granite what are you did you do you saw that she had the little spritz bottle.

16:50I'm just realizing that. You're totally right. If this is the sort of management that's behind the Shoma group, then I'm sorry. I cannot endorse them on Zillow. But she does tell a story about how one positive thing that came out of the hurricane is that her sisters texted her and were like, oh my God, oh my God, are you okay? Are you alive? Are you safe? Are you safe? And then when she was like, I'm fine, they were like, oh, never mind. Bye. You know, the way she phrased it, it actually confused me a little bit because it sounded like she was saying that the sisters who have not contacted or called her parents to ask how they were doing.

17:21Oh, yeah. Was that at all your reading? I'm not sure. I didn't think about it hard enough because I think I was so distracted by the Lysol situation. You're still thinking about, ooh, show them a not a good look. Yeah, all that defecation. I'm not sure. It sounded like they called her parents to check on them, and then they texted with her. Maybe that's what it was. That was the vibe I got, but you could have been totally right. I also feel like she's gonna be the sort of housewife that's gonna be a little slippery with the truth. Like, oh, she says it one way. She's like, no, what I meant was this.

17:49Well, actually, this is what it really was, which is also very Bronwyn, you know? So now - Except I took to Bronwyn pretty quick. I really love Bronwyn, and I thought she was a great housewife. I think she's gonna have a terrible next season. I think she's gonna have - It's always the season two. I think she, like, they're gonna - I feel like Denise came on, you know, she was having so much fun season one, and season two, everybody got out knives for her. Yeah, and I think they're gonna get out knives for Bronwyn, but she also has some wind in her sails so she's going to be a little loose, she's going to get too comfortable and the audience is already turning against her anyway what happened, I don't know if I missed that they think she's cocky or full of shit I still like her she's a great choice but I agree, I think season 2 is going to be hard for Bronwyn she's going to have a bad edit, it's going to be really bad that's all it takes really it's time for a commercial It's time for a Crappens commercial There is such a better way to spend your time than doom scrolling or watching terrible TV.

Butterball has turkey made for the way you care, whether you're cooking for your best friend or mending bridges with your frenemy. Butterball. Care hard, cook easy. now the big big confrontation of the episode which is that gertie and uh julia they they meet at a restaurant to have this talk and i'm like i'm like with you like the tension was it's like i hope they can actually because i actually like both of them a lot and so i hate that julia has taken this like villain turn because it's like not fun villain it's like nasty villain yeah she doesn't play villain well no because because a villain has to be sort of looking like they're enjoy like larsa's got that malevolent grin yeah so you know the second she says that really mean thing to you she's having a blast but julia doesn't have it in her and julia that's like julia's persona like what makes her work on the show is that she's actually this kind of like like daffy sort of like out there person that's kind of like a where it's like a like a little bit of a different a contrast from the other personalities she she likes that farm life you know what i mean like you know that's she's not no she's not talking aboutst barks in her in her birken bag yes so they sit down i love this scene by the way yeah gertie and i a it was the scene i'd sort of been i feel like every episode you're waiting for that scene and for me this was that scene in this episode especially since this one i i've sort of expected it the week after the water toss yeah didn't happen the week after that didn't happen it finally happened in episode five um i also really need to see a a super edit of all the times that the waiter comes over oh my god the worst possible moment i was gonna strangle that waiter like i was like every time they were like about to like have a meaningful exchange he was like um would you guys like a new slice of lime for your diet coke it's like why are you coming over there so many times there's it's like a calvicated character sometimes there's just that waiter that just draws all the attention like you said they come over the worst possible time but i secretly i love those scenes those are my favorite housewife scenes so uh so they sit down and um gertie is like thank you for the invitation i got your message that you sent me the date after you know when you sent it she she was so robotic like yes you could tell she's still mad as hell oh 100 because she's got like her her code is on like her code is i am here and this is business and everything i'm gonna say is absolutely truncated this is business and i say that with authority because i just went to the stock exchange thanks for not saying anything about it that's where the business goes down i rang the bell it was a it was a bad day the stocks went down it was a red day it was the day the tariffs were announced buy nvidia now it became like cnbc buy low sell high i've learned so many things supply and demand so um so she's she's she's hot she's she's ready and she comes in and she says, you know, I got your text message.

23:16And Julia's like, and I meant it. I meant it. It is written with open heart. Also, it was written by goat. I wasn't sure if Gertie was, I seem to remember feeling like Gertie, I wasn't sure if Gertie was able to say everything she needed to say and for Julia to understand it. Because I think that waiter kept coming by. Not only the waiter, but this gets to like one of the reasons i love miami one of the things i love about this show is i thought about it a lot because i knew i was coming here today it's these women are trying to talk about nuance and feelings but none of them are speaking their native language like that is insane that is such an amazing point think about it like i always wondered like these international soccer teams like if you go to real madrid three of the guys are from europe three are from africa two are from asia two might be american they all have to speak some common language just to play a game and that's a game with rules now imagine that these same dudes have to all speak all these different languages but they have to convey something as nuanced as how you made me feel wow you're blowing my mind it really came up to me it really came out to me actually in the scene one of my favorite parts of the scene when um when gertie's recounting uh it's actually a flashback It's when they're in the heat of the argument, and Gertie says, you know, like, well, you said I don't know, for instance.

24:42She's like, no, I said, I never said, I never said we are, I said we were. Learn the past tense. It's like a moment where you're like, oh, these people don't speak the same language. Literally don't. Yeah. She's like, learn the past tense. And while you're at it, learn future perfect. Learn future conditional. I will have finished this food. You know, like, it's just like, no, these people were trying to convey all these complex emotions and they don't have they don't have the same rules uh they don't have the same language it's insane that's actually a really fascinating and interesting point i mean yeah i i think i don't know of of the every other housewife franchise they all basically are from you know they're all speaking english but this is the one where like you know technically this person is speaking a dialect of of of french where she might be growing up this one speaks spanish as she said un poquito you know like yeah there's um they're all speaking english ultimately i mean and who knows what larsa i mean what what lisa's ever saying and i think it's a who knows where larsa's from larsa yeah i don't know if larsa was like if english is her first language or not uh she's a syria is larsa a syrian is it lebanese look it up probably i'm not sure what her but it is that is such a good point i mean a lot of them I mean, yes, it's not their first language.

25:59Well, all of them are obviously like beyond fluent, but there is something to that. Like I imagine. They're trying their best. I mean, like there was literally one part where like Julia was struggling. Even when Alexia always says like, you know, I don't know what Todd's going to do. The ball is on his court. And I'm like in his court. And she's like, all the balls on his court. And I'm like in his court. It's like, I'm just like, it's not her first language. She can speak Spanish way better than me, but they're - To be fair, there are a lot of English speakers that will also... On his court? Or on accident, or what's the other one that's really big?

26:33Oh, on accident, absolutely. What's the one that's really big? Well, good, well, all those fun things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are fun. By the way, that's one of my favorite. I do get that email once a day, like, you know, like some kind of grammar funny thing. Yeah. I love grammar. Grammar funny thing, it's always... Grammar funny thing is a great newsletter. But here's one for the listeners. There's every day versus every day. And if something happens continuously day after day after day, every day is two words. And if it's every day, just remember that every day is a single word. It means common, regular.

27:11He's your everyday kind of person. You know, like that's what I'm bringing to the world today. Sorry. Nobody cares. That's a good tidbit you could use every day. I'll come in once an episode just with just with grammar tricks with grandma. Sorry about that You can come in every day to do that. I would do dude Some people like I will say again. This is one of my favorite scenes of the episode and I'm glad that they kind of You know not to They kind of got to some kind of like detente like yeah I'm glad it wasn't one of those things where they don't get anywhere and we have to do like three more episodes Right like cuz that it really is stressful when that happens So Julia says, well, I don't know how we got to what happened last night.

27:53I'm like, I can tell you specifically exactly how it got to that. You basically had a meltdown because a Zoom link didn't work and you turned into a giant thing. And you vilified Gertie and you got mad that she got upset that there was no seat for her at some influencer dinner on a cruise. So she went and ate somewhere else. That cruise thing is like so convoluted at this point. To hear them tell the story, they tell two completely different stories. It's 100 % different. Julia's saying, hey, you asked to come on the cruise. Gertie's like, I would never come on that cruise. You asked me to come on the cruise.

28:26I kind of believe Gertie more, because it doesn't all line up. And I also think that Julia - But Julia's whole thing is like, she was there to support me, because Martina was homesick, and she has to support me for making the decision to not be with Martina while she's homesick. To be Martina. No, I don't think that really works. and like also if she's there to support you why didn't you have a seat for her at the dinner like why didn't you insist like this is your emotional support friends i think we could all sympathize with gertie if you go on a cruise of all things and this is the reason i've actually never taken a cruise because i'm already going to feel like trapped in with the people who you're with but uh if you go there to be a friend and then you're not even sitting at the table with that i'd be like this is total like if i were julia i would actually not go to whatever cockamamie dinner this was and sit with Gertie like that's your friend like why else is Gertie even there but according to Julia Gertie was begging to go on this cruise which I don't really believe.

29:22And then made the whole cruise about her and was taking photos I'm like you're a real housewife what is this is not new territory yes exactly you were not like some celebrated pop star like Samantha Fox in 1988 okay I don't know where I went there so Julia's basically saying I don't know how we got here, but I am very sorry for throwing the water at you, and I have no excuse for it. And I hope that you can accept my apology. I would have given you this apology over Zoom, but we know how you do with Zoom. I know you're not good at Zoom. Sorry, sorry, triggered, triggered. She's like, well, I am literally completely blindsided.

29:59I feel completely backstabbed. And the waiter's like, hello there, what would you like? Oh, hello, I'll have the croquettes, please. so julia's like carrie i shared with you something very private about my facelift and you share with everyone i know so apparently the facelift was a secret which by the way whoever is julia's surgeon i never would have detected it no i i didn't see it either never saw either so you know i said be proud of it like that's great work that's usually the thing that they brag about on some of these shows. They don't brag about it, but it's understood. I guess because so much of her thing is like nature and animals and like natural things that to get a facelift may feel like a dereliction of duty.

30:49Yeah, I didn't, you know, kudos, I guess you're right. Kudos to whoever did the facelift. I didn't assume that there had been a facelift, but I did hear her when she said that, and I was just like, that's gonna be an issue. That's gonna be the one. Yeah, okay, the things that you can't talk about, obviously, are children. The things that are off-limit are children, but also facelifts. And my business. And my business. Children, my business, and facelifts. You do not talk about my husband, and you do not talk about my business. I mean, like, it's, it's, get the song going. A person I trusted with something very personal when I shared this information with you, but you threw it back at me and betrayed my trust, so what kind of friend are you?

31:28So I felt very betrayed by you as well, so you have to understand that my reply was matching what i was getting from you and again just to remind everyone this is a fight about um a zoom call and some sort of seating on a cruise yeah seating on a cruise that's what that's what's brought us here but julia's upset because gertie is like weaponizing this face this facelift i think it's more than that she added the facelift but saying like you were a bad wife to martina who was ailing at the moment yeah and that you know let's let's that's that's an ugly thing to say i mean like you know but you know in the heat of the moment you know gertie gertie fights back you know yeah yeah it was you know it was a bit backhanded against marching oh i see again yeah see that was nice there was a volley no i'm sorry the ball was in her court yeah she really served up a good oh gosh a good diss a good diss on that one yeah I did not come on with my puns okay it's okay okay it's getting worse so Gertie's like well no I apologize I'm sorry for the words that I use and for being literally unhinged because I never want to be in the same predicament again and I appreciate you acknowledging that and this is a night I wish had never happened and I tried my best to say please not today please stop it no not today not within three days of when I went to the stock exchange and no one even said anything about it i'm still riding the high of a bell a bell in new york city when i changed the course of the entire economy and no none of my friends showed up when i single-handedly pulled us out of recession exactly i fixed everything um but she's like but she's like you know it was embarrassing and humiliating and and she's like oh emotion got over me and i am sorry for that but no but this is when i said no we are not going to do this and i did something bad but it was my but it was my point to prove and i mean gertie's i think pretty good about saying like i was trying to hurt you but that's because you hurt me first you were coming for me first and like it wasn't good what i did but just know like i was upset and this is why i was upset totally yeah um and then then she has she has like five monologues in a row we're not friends but i know this about you like i came out and like look it's something and it was like my good friend was like hello it's me it's me hello do you remember me do remember me and you said we weren't friends but i'm like we were good friends because if we're good friends you wouldn't tell me about a facelift that we were not good friends but you told me we're good friends so now we work at friends julia's like i don't follow just can we move on i don't know she's like i do not follow these words yeah yeah julia just kind of is like in a place of what he's done he's done like she's yeah you can't you can't declare that but uh like you said i was happy that they came to a realistic resolution because yeah i i would have liked julia to have acknowledged that she was having a massive overreaction about the zoom link i feel like that's what was not what was missing for me the specificity of what i did wrong yeah because the cruise ship we can't really litigate that one because i don't really know julia's more apologizing for throwing the water than sort of what led to all this tension in the first place right but i would have like i i just kind of wish they had buried the hatch about the zoom link because that's just too stupid to have like that is a dumb like that is honestly one of the worst like your wi-fi could have been out like there's so many reasons that have nothing to do yes uh that's a little bit of julia's narcissism but i also liked how realistic their resolution was because uh you know i think it's gertie who says you know i know one sit down is not going to put me at ease of you know trusting you again you know i thought that was that was very mature to me it was very mature i like that um so now we go to villa toscana not to be confused with kachina toscana from salt lake city yeah a favorite restaurant establishment so it's this place there's like swans there's like boats it's like very lisa vanderpump and alexia shows up and she's in i guess like a tunic of some sort it's she's ready for narcissism she's ready and daniel's right there he's right there our guy is back he has he has created an experience for these ladies self-help experience yes because he they have installed a whole bunch of mirrors around and they've written things on the mirrors that are i don't remember what some of the mirrors actually even said because it was so quick but things like you know look at yourself

35:57with that accent look at yourself look deeper look deeper they want to kill you the narcissists they all should die like she's like i wrote that one so um she's like you know in the past the girls have hired shamans and spiritual leaders and in anyone that could help us you know because we need a lot of help you know and we see like montage of all these different people that have tried to help him over the years and she's like but i'm bringing this guy in because he has more credibility he's got those three books he has a working canva account and could do some really good memes i really trust his memes yeah uh they do cite that like because he has three books that therefore like he might be treated treated with some more gravitas with the narcissism stuff so i mean i guess you could have you know maybe brought in a psychiatrist or psychologist but no baby steps daniel daniel you know he's a one-namer he's got a lot of wisdom a lot of wisdom in his memes so they're looking around and uh there's all these quotes on the mirrors and everything oh she goes oh look at this mirror this is a good one okay wait wait here wait everyone's everyone gather all the swans gather around okay here's what the mirror says you cannot fix someone who does not want to be fixed but you could ruin your life trying to do it that's true it's true okay let me call todd let me tell him about that's that wisdom that's that wisdom you're talking about dropping those dropping those pearls of wisdom i like that alexia's doing this whole party and we know she's the very first thing she's going to do is go back to todd right sorry it's okay you were caught up you're emotional those memes really got you didn't they i get choked up it's a serious scene so um she's like she says all the girls think that this party is about todd but it's not about todd it's about all of us because we're all narcissists and i say that as the star of the group but anyway i always think about that by the way last last year when she said that she was born a star remember when she said that she's like yeah she's like i can do this right now because i was born a star like i can say whatever i want because i've got star privilege uh my favorite quote from alexia of all time might be because i don't hear me is uh slander slander i'll never forget that that was one of my favorites i think that's the dr to nicole yeah um so meanwhile uh everyone's arriving at a sprinter van and they're going to take the sprinter van over to this this party so marisol gets there and every time someone shows up we get a joke we get a hat on a hat as we call it on a hat we get a hat on a hat that's right that's what it is a hat on a hat yeah um and they brought back my favorite word cockies cockies yeah so so risque i gotta say i mean like you know i i love i love the character of kiki but I feel like her testimonials are all the same joke a hundred times.

38:42It's getting a little bit like that. It's just, I'm always like, I'm waiting for the sex joke. And it's just like, I feel like there's more there than that. Yeah, but she's always been like, oh, penis. It's like everything. It's like, what do you think about her? What do you think about Gertie ringing the bell at the stock exchange? Oh, that's ringing a bell in front of a lot of penises. And by the way, this, when it's her time to show up, they give her the ultimate penis run. Yeah, it's just it's just like I was like okay my favorite movies by the way is he penis run Chicken run. Yeah, oh, I thought it's a sequel to midnight run.

39:16They were actually a trilogy People don't realize the run trilogy. There's the run run bloodlines is coming out soon But yeah, so what happens is that as they're arriving They they're all they're given like a label goddess of something in like super basic font I was really upset with that. It's like that Zapf Chancery, perhaps. I think it was Zapf. Is that modern? That's like that font that people use to make a fancy menu. And you're like, put some more effort into it, Holiday Inn. There were all kinds of... It almost looked like it was a YouTube thumbnail. Nobody wanted that. I felt like it was a rush job.

39:57So Marisol is goddess of the cockies. It's back. I manifested it to come back, and it's back. We made it happen. Or like when she was talking about Alexi, she's like, you know, what do you think Alexi needs? Some new tea. When she said that, I knew I could tell that she was going to. Yeah, it's such a setup. To the producers, we don't need that. These ladies are funny on their own. We don't need these. We don't need these silly graphics. And we don't need that font. We don't. We just definitely don't need that font. We definitely don't need the font. Let's start with the font. The font is the most fixable thing.

40:29Okay. I know that there may be debate on the production team about whether or not they should have goofy. Goofy Chirons. If there is a debate, let us weigh in. Don't do any more. Please don't do any more. It didn't work on Vanderpump Rules. It did not work on Potomac. It did not work on Atlanta. It is not working here. But luckily, the show is fine. It didn't impact the show. But I don't feel like they need to do it. 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? Audible is perfect for that.

41:06I use it while I'm cleaning the house, while I'm running errands. I listen to books all day, every day with Audible. Yeah, they have a massive library of audiobooks and ad-free podcasts. And it is really the perfect thing to turn on when you're taking a long drive, washing some dishes. Like, enrich yourself. New members can start listening with a 30-day free trial at audible.com slash WWC. 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.

42:08so they all are just sort of like arriving and they're just like talking in the van and just like more the other thing is, here's the other reason why I got upset about this, this like hat on a hat this is an enormous cast and I was like oh we're going to have to sit through like nine of these you had to do so many because each one was like 10 seconds, I was like this is a lot i say this as someone who is currently recording a podcast that's 90 minutes long um so meanwhile alexia and daniel they're still getting ready and stuff and alexia is the goddess of the stars of course so long story short they're all sitting there and it's 12 30 and then we're seeing time they're just sitting in the sprinter van on the side at a sidewalk for two hours which is just cruel absolutely cool by the way it's miami and they have the door open so it's just it's just humidity and sitting on a splinter van and by the way these women aren't dumb they know when you get in a splinter van on a housewife show somebody's gonna get into like one of the worst arguments always but like it's just they're just sitting there i mean i don't know why they haven't left i don't know and they actually see the real world they would have left yeah they also seem like relatively calm they're just sort of like chatting yeah they're just like well marcus is you know and but you know they're mad but they're just like chatting at the same time and then finally lisa comes on she comes on board and she makes an entrance which is actually makes an entrance she made a really big entrance who do you think you are somebody just rang the bed at the stock exchange by the way i did that everyone in case anyone wants to acknowledge it by the way i did that i know none of you know that because none of you were there so uh she gets on board and like oh wow and and so marissa like monkey monkey monkey so stephanie just goes in stephanie's like i am ready i'm used to talking i'm used to talking to 80 men i will say uh you know this is not her first episode but this is her entrance into the season boy she held nothing back she came really hard and i thought it was great because lisa has pulled these hijinks many times before and they will sometimes say something to her, but this girl - But she doesn't listen to them.

44:19Does not listen. And so Stephanie's like, I just want to say that if I ever fly anybody anywhere and Lisa shows up even four minutes late, she's going to see the plane take off without her, which is like, you know, Lisa just professed that she wants to be friends with her because of the PJ. And by the way, I don't know who was writing on the mirrors, but this one just seemed a little too perfect. Nobody gets angrier than a narcissist accused of something that he did. Like that cutaway. I was like, okay, so the producers are writing this in the lipstick? I don't know. I think so. I don't even know if that was a Daniel original.

44:47But then again, nothing's a Daniel original. He's a collector of memes. Yeah, I thought that one mirror that said, nothing bothers a narcissist more than having to build a house for Lisa Hoxstein was like, I was like, wow, that's a very... Wow, that's a specific meme. It seems very limited in the number of people who could benefit from that. But I mean, sure, I support it. The one that said, be sure to arrive two hours late also. Very specific. Yeah, yeah. I was very impressed with his work at that moment. So anyway, so I'm sorry. So she arrives two hours late and I misspoke. Stephanie's whole thing was only at the one hour mark is when she said the thing about the airplane, which is also her way of saying, I have the capability to fly everyone on this cast somewhere.

45:29Just want to say, I just want to point that out. It's always to telegraph some other information. Always. So then... Did her other sister have like a Mormon-sized family and her other sister's quiet book librarian or something like that. Why give a Range Rover and a Mini Cooper? I don't get it. I think that one twin has a family and one twin is alone in life. And therefore, I guess Stephanie could have shamed her. One wants to leave a smaller carbon footprint and the other one doesn't give a shit about the Earth. Actually, I'm going to say that this, I think that Stephanie plays games. I think she gave the Mini Cooper to the woman who has the big family.

46:05And she gave the Solo a big, be like, so you can remember, like one, remember when you used to have room in your car and the other one's like just know you'll never be able to fill this how big and empty it is look at all those unsat on seats lonely it came with it came with the baby seat okay yeah just has a baby could be yours that's i like i think it's definitely has planned all this stuff out she's yeah 40 chess so they have like a lot of there's like a lot of chatter okay and um it goes on for a while okay so finally lisa comes in she's like hello hi goddesses you guys look gorgeous you're gorgeous goddesses how's everybody if you walk in two hours late and don't enter with the customer i'm so sorry oh my god there was a like like you have to pull up the traffic thing you have to say you got a call like we're like use the lenny card lenny called it was awful he burned down the house lady was supposed to come get the kids he didn't show up he's just he's rebuilding the the mausoleum that we still live in his mother's making him pierogies so she just comes in not even apologetic just like hi hi everyone how's everyone doing and so julia's like waiting for you got this and this is where stephanie goes and she's like lisa do you think your time is more important than all of ours or do you think that you're more valuable are we supposed to celebrate your entrance do you think how rude it is to make everybody wait and i was like oh i mean four questions like bum four questions in any even to people you love and four questions is always too much this is this is the shama group working at all on all cylinders right here like that's how you talk to 80 men you throw them four questions yeah that's exactly i mean there i mean we're joking but there probably is something to like when you're dealing with like construction professionals like sometimes you really do have to like i i'm very very non-confrontational i hate it and so like i think you you do have to sort of like enter she's she's got a you know she's got to go out there and you know yeah do the jabs she's got a boss baby boss baby so she's like you think your time's the more important which is great because these are the things that we've been asking and you always ask but like whatever says to the person because there's that i was i was i was loving it i was cheering because there is that thing where like someone does something that's like egregiously rude and then when you call them on it somehow that's actually more offensive because it's like being making them uncomfortable to their face it's it's it's almost like when someone says something racist you say that they're racist and they're like how dare you yeah how could you say that this could ruin my reputation calling someone racist is far worse than being actually racist oh yeah isn't it fun so um so then she's like uh yeah she's like you know so lisa then goes to the ultimate deflection which has nothing to do with anything where she goes i don't even know you that well for you to be speaking to me that way and stephanie's like well i know enough about you that you just made us wait two hours to wait on you like like some big grand lisa entrance that's very rude and i don't think her knowing you are not that makes any difference all she knows is that she's stuck in a sprinter van with marisol making cocky jokes for two hours ninth level of hell man tom jay's inferno marisol where is your where's your manifestation powers to get lisa into this i know exactly so she's she's saying all this stuff and lisa's been like okay you're being very rude right now you're being very rude okay you don't even know me you don't even know me and in my mind i'm thinking but you also don't know her and like you don't seem to care like like don't you want to go both ways right but also it's like if you don't know her like don't you aren't you like when you meet someone you try to put your best foot forward yeah but you know what i think the the this is almost like one of those meta things like lisa's definitely hit her on the hey you're the new housewife you can't talk to me that's what she's trying the og here and it's it's it's not it's not working don't talk to me that way again and just don't be two hours late and make us wait don't talk to me like that excuse me i don't even know you and you're talking to me like that don't be late i don't know what i don't know what i don't know you but i heard that that you don't have a lot of friends lisa's just flailing i mean like she doesn't have a leg to stand on logically so now she's going to like this is like middle schools i heard you don't have a lot of friends i don't know you but i heard you don't have a lot of friends i was checking if i'm lisa i fire the oppo research team that i hired because that's not strong dirt not that's not strong dirt yeah that's like she should have used some chat gpt right now and then and then then stephanie has like a weird thing which is well that's because a lot of them are like you disrespectful and they're two hours late i've got i got a lot of two hour late friends and that's why i don't have a lot of friends because a lot of them tend to be like you Yeah, that logically didn't know.

50:57So you're saying your friends are disrespectful? Well, I guess she wasn't denying that she doesn't have friends, but she was like, yeah, I, whenever I have friends, it turns out they're the two hour late kind. They're of the two hours late variety. And so, and the entire time, Stephanie is kind of like doing this thing where she's, if she could put her hand in Lisa's face, she would, but her arms aren't long enough. So she just sort of like pause at like the, the air right in her. That's a good point. I feel like Lisa's, I feel like Stephanie's arms are always at her side. Like they're always, she's like a very sort of like, she doesn't make like big, she doesn't gesticulate wildly.

51:32Yeah, but here she was sort of doing a little T-Rex arm thing. She's like this, yeah. She's doing like a little mini wax on wax off. Oh no, put your face down here and talk to me. It's very small. So then he's like, don't ever put your hand in front of my face or tell me what I need to discuss with my friends. she's like well i wasn't putting your hand my hand in your face because my hand doesn't even go that far exactly i don't know if you noticed but my hand is way down here i am i'm built in i i can't even have an assault moment if i wanted to because it is built in that i can only reach this far i have a small radius literally is radius in the arm or is that the leg uh oh gosh i don't be a radius ulna i just i don't know i know that these are bones but i don't know which one is which you know i'm sure the internet i think it's shoulder isn't it radio no this is one of those terrible moments where you you enter a piece of evidence into the case on a podcast and you don't have the answer and then people at home listen and they go okay wait what bone what bone is the radius i'm looking up right now real quickly oh it's one of two bones in the forearm so yes i would like to announce it was an effective pun it totally works it just only works he doesn't have the radius um so lisa's getting mad it's not funny this isn't funny she's like well i'm not trying to be funny your friends all think you're rude lisa she's like well i think you're rude marisol's like well stephanie said that what we all want to say for i mean how long have i known her 13 years now and monkey is always late do we want to roll some clips of that from like 2013 no okay all right so at least don't ever talk to me again like that this is fucking bullshit i don't even know this girl like she's new to the group don't talk to me like that you don't need to be that mouthpiece you don't need to be a mouthpiece for everyone these are my these are my friends she's definitely trying to pull the like yeah heather gay to bronwyn in a sense yeah absolutely you know yeah but she doesn't have the authority of heather gay i don't think that lisa i you always get the sense that they all just barely tolerate lisa yeah there's there's very there's very look gosh it's such a mean thing there's very little that we've been seeing from her that you can just hold on to and be like oh that's awesome you know i hate to say that about another human being but like she's not giving us a whole lot yeah i mean i'm glad that she's on the show because yes she's so self-involved it's like that's important to me but um but like as a person i don't know if she's that great i mean she's great i'm trying to put themselves on these shows we are the the greek chorus that will judge them so yeah i'm sure i'm sure if we hung out with her she'd be awesome in real life sure that's been my experience with like really every housewife i've encountered that they're super cool to hang i don't know why i always go down this path i always get like paranoid that they're listening and that their feelings are hurt and i there's a there's a part of me that doesn't want to hurt people's feelings there's a part of me that doesn't want to say that everybody doesn't have like some intrinsic you know value and some wonderfulness but i will say that whoever is editing the show doesn't give you a whole lot on lisa to grab onto and be like oh that's cool yeah i don't i don't want to hurt lisa's feelings but she fucking sucks so so lisa's like you know she's complaining and larsa's like but we've been here since 12 o 'clock the second larsa speaks you know this is this is we're here now yeah you're just waiting you're waiting for larsa to say anything to lisa well and also like you know stephanie is doing her job which is she's she's she's proving like she's a big loyal like attack dog for for larsa and larsa like you've done well now i will chime in and back you up as per our agreement and he's like larsa We're not even talking right now.

55:08We're not talking. We're not talking right now. We are not talking right now. We are not talking. You were talking about Jody. You talked about Jody and his eyes. No, we're not talking. By the way, stupid person, how do you even start off talking to somebody like this? Stop, stop. You don't even start off talking about somebody like this. And then Stephanie said, which I was so happy. She goes, well, how do you start off talking? How do you start off being two hours late with somebody you don't know? And I was, I literally went, yes. And cause I was like, that was the point I was making in my mind.

55:35I love that. How do you how do you start off two hours? It was someone you don't know it's not a great first impression you that's correct And then the producer sort of doubles down on that How long would Lisa less is one of your employees? It's like Lisa wouldn't even make it past the end and past the interview because she would probably be late to the interview And I wouldn't see her and nobody would see her and I am livid I probably would become friends with her though because I am friends with late people More more disrespectful the better she goes well perhaps i came off really rude but it's because i might you know my very very number one only pet peeve is that i don't like tardiness and i just felt like it was very disrespectful she said don't lecture me she said well my other pet peeve is i don't like when people don't accept my lectures so we're really off to a bad start here i will say like you know this whole exchange is fantastic yeah you know like you just immediately see like oh stephanie's got she's fight she doesn't care yeah she's like i i like that she's coming in she's doing what she needs to do but it doesn't it did not actually feel that thirsty to me i felt like it was earned frustration she had all the moral high ground and she used every inch of it every inch of that moral high ground um so then she's basically then she's like she pulls back and she's like look i'm apologizing and i'm apologizing why i'm explaining why i came in hot well it's backhand it's not even a real apology she's like well do you want do you want an apology or do you not want an apology You either take what I give you or you don't take it.

56:59I was like, wow, I love that. She offered her an out. I know, and I liked it. She's like, you want it or no? I will keep fighting with you. I have no problem. So, yeah, Lisa's like, who the hell is this girl barking at me? Who is she? I don't know you. You can't talk to me like that. Sit down, boss baby. Okay, so right at the very end of the confrontation, Lisa gets in a solid dig. That boss baby thing made me laugh out loud, and I love your minions thing. I didn't know that was coming, but when they cut to her when they cut to the shot of stephanie I was like oh damn. She's the boss baby. Yeah, no, I've never seen boss baby, but like

57:38The thing is there's a whole genre of boss babies to me My number one boss baby is the baby from Roger rabbit, you know, so I just like that's just a whole genre of those little bossy babies Cartoon form and I think it's like a hundred percent Roger rabbit holes the fuck up. It's such a good movie It's such a good movie. I actually, you know, I have a deal over at Disney. I asked him, like, is there any way we could reboot this? I was about to say, why is there no Roger Rabbit? It's because there's so many, you know, copywritten characters that show up in that thing. So you never have a Bugs Bunny next to a Mickey Mouse again.

58:11But also... Why can't they come together? Can't these corporations come together? It was kind of amazing that one scene, like, with, like, Woody Woodpecker and, like, all these old cartoons together. That was amazing. But even just Roger Rabbit, there's like all kinds of like rights holders to just him that makes it kind of impossible for us to revisit toontown which i thought was like a a really fun world to play in it is weird that we really didn't get another roger rabbit um like entity or ip ever since it was like a one-off we didn't even get that we didn't get that taxicab correct me if i'm wrong it was a huge hit i think that's a function of the times you know in the 80s and 90s sometimes a movie just hit and that that's all you got.

58:50They didn't make a sequel to every hit movie. Yeah. Nowadays, they'd already have eight TV shows and everything falling up on it. You know what's funny? I remember seeing Roger Rabbit. My family was on vacation in Vermont, very bougie. And we went to the movies and we saw Roger Rabbit. I loved it. And the next time we went to the same movie theater and you know what we saw the very next night? What was that? Midnight Run. It all comes full circle. One of the best movies of all time. All full circle. I gotta watch that whole trilogy. It's a great trilogy. Diallo, thank you so much. The episode ends on a to be continued.

59:23Like, will they ever get to the narcissism party? I'm not sure. I was looking forward to it on the episode. It didn't really happen. They didn't get to it. I loved this turn. But we do see in the next on, we do see that Lisa gets the goddess of being the victim the most or something like that. And she storms off in tears. And that was when I literally thought to myself, you know what? she might need at least one ally because she's literally spent almost the entire season storming out of stuff in tears yeah but you know what it's like um you know that's just lisa's lot in life that's just lisa's lot that's her lot in life and i say that knowing that she does like an 80s sitcom lisa's lot in life yeah she literally does not even have a single lot in life like she's waiting for Lenny to finish building it, but either way.

1:00:13I like when she's like, this place is so quaint and it's comfy, right? First off, it's 6 ,000 square feet. But what he doesn't mention is that there's not one soft surface in that entire place. It's all white, hard edges and marble and concrete. It's like a house built for cocaine. It looks like a house for a single dude, not like the place where you can welcome in kids and get comfy and watch TV. It's not only a house built for cocaine, it looks like it was made of like petrified cocaine they just like mold it in and they just like they like wax it they give you a kitchen island and a coffee table yeah diallo thank you so much thank you so much for having me i i'm such a fan oh well i'm a fan of yours and of you in general i i you know i'd love hanging out with you and talking with you and you'll have to come back and also tell the people where they can find you because they everyone should be following diallo I think the easiest place to find me is on Instagram at Diallo, just six letters, D-I-A-L-L-O.

1:01:11There you can follow, you know, what I'm doing on the podcast or what I'm doing in TV and film. And also what, you know, me and the family are up to. So, yeah. Yeah. And everyone, not only should you listen to the podcast, but you should go back and watch the episodes of Southside and Sherman Showcase. They're really fun. They're very fun shows. 100 % Rotten Tomatoes. We're proud of that. There we go. And, you know, I don't think either show ever lost a fan. Well, hopefully Southside gets a second life somewhere someday. You know, here's the funny thing. Just to talk quick shop. We recently sold a pitch, and it is very similar to Southside without being another season of Southside.

1:01:47A lot of the same brain trust, some new brains involved, and we're really, really excited about that. Don't want to jinx it by naming it, but I think stay tuned. Okay. Well, great.

This episode is sponsored by Nature Raised Farms. There are so many complicated things on Bravo.

1:05:43Like opening the front door on Summer House. Or figuring out how to wear a Linfinity dress. Or understanding Tom Schwartz's purpose on the Valley. In 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-raised farms is free from gluten, dairy, and soy. There are no seed oils and no artificial ingredients.

1:06:20Also, Nature Raised Farms Chicken is a good source of fiber and only between 8 to 12 grams of fat per serving dependent on the product. Chicken, 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. Nature Raised Farms Chicken, because chicken shouldn't be complicated. Hey guys, it's Paige from Giggly Squad. Okay, can we all agree that hosting is so much fun? And I really do love it. 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.

1:07:02This 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 Zivo, 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. The 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.

1:07:39No 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.
