0:20Well, hello and welcome to Crappy Hour. I'm Ronnie and that's Ben over there. Hello, Ben. Hi, Ronnie. How's it going? Good. How are you doing today, baby? Well, I feel like a war hero. I went to Whole Foods to return some items and I survived the parking lot. So I kind of feel like kind of a bit more of a man. There was a lot I had to avoid, but I did it. I survived. So yeah, pretty good. Whole Foods is supposed to be such a peaceful place because there's so much, you know, like healthy stuff in there. And there's like crystals and like organic soap. But every time I go in there, I've said the F word and the C word at least 10 times trying to get through that parking lot.
1:03It's like you need the crystals by the time you get into that damn place. You do. And there's a lot of idiots that are trying to get into that parking lot too. Me included, I'll just say it. I'll just say it right now, me included. But like you see some of these ladies in their yoga pants and their like hats. And then they're like, they're like doing some weird diagonal thing where they're just across all the lanes doing nothing. And you're like, where are you going? Are you coming in? You're going out? You're trying to park? are you parked and there's two girls just like standing there just talking literally have a conversation in the driveway where people try to turn in on san monica boulevard i was like but i did it and i'm here that's somewhat so i rise to still i rise i rise well everybody today's a very special episode of crappy hour because we have one of our first uh podcast friends this is this lady it was one of our first listeners actually and uh called us up right when we started crappings and said hey i heard you were making fun of me i want to come on and hear it she came on and then she lives in la part-time so when she started coming here it started having us over to her house all the time and so we've been friends with this lady now for over 10 years ben you know that our our 10-year anniversary came well it must be longer than that actually yes it was the beginning of the podcast but anyway please introduce podcast friend and our real life friend, Miss Leah Black!
2:23Leah Black! Leah Black! I'm going to put you in the center. You should be in the center. Tear it down! Hi, honey. I love you guys. It's been a long time. Ten years. I look ten years younger and you guys look ten years older. How's that happen? Love that. Excuse me. You shouldn't say things like that. We're about to talk about You're youthening product. That's why I looked in your tongue. So, Leah, what have you been up to lately? It's been rough over there with the passing of Roy, so everybody's condolences to you. That has been the roughest three months ever. This is my first time to talk to anybody other than my dogs and the people that work at the house.
3:11I don't go anywhere. I don't talk to anybody. I don't return any calls. I'm just hibernating. you're my first outing experience so thank you being here we're honored for that that's we know that's a hard a hard thing that you've been going through so really love and hugs thank you well i saw you here in la you were packing up the house i came to see you the other day and uh we were talking about stuff and i was asking you about your your thoughts on this current season of miami and what did you tell me i told you shame on me but i haven't watched it But I did see some of the clips that people clip and then they send you the link to see the clip.
3:51I saw some of that. And that's all I know about it. But I know the behind the scenes because I'm in Miami and everybody knows everything in Miami. It's like gossip city over here. English, Spanish didn't matter. They all figure out a way to translate that gossip. Yeah, you have to be bilingual over there just so you can get the gossip. That's right. Well, so have you heard, I guess, one of the big questions that came out of the reunion, even though you didn't watch it, there was a big question about Julia and Martina and Adriana. Did you hear any gossip about whether or not Julia has been having affairs?
4:29Is Adriana accused Julia of having an affair with a Haitian mortician and Julia actually had to buy this man a coffee maker? Did you ever hear that rumor? I saw the rumor. Is Adriana a reliable source? Well, I will say before the reunion, there was buzz on the street in Miami that she was going to say something, that something was going to come out. And somebody texted me that. I didn't even reply back. I just like, finger in my ears. And so I wasn't surprised when I saw the clip. But what the problem that the other girl's name, what's her name? Julia. the problem julia had is she underestimates adriana if you're gonna poke the bear you better be ready for the retaliation because adriana's got a really big temper and she cannot censor herself so she should have known i guess she didn't watch any previous shows or didn't know her that well but if you're gonna poke the bear be ready for the retaliation because adriana is not gonna she's not going to let anybody get away with it.
5:41She's going to say what's on her mind and that's it. She did it. I thought it would be kind of, I thought it would be kind of fun if we told you, we updated you on what was going on on the show now. And you just kind of give us your opinions on all. Oh God, I'm a, my big mouth. You're going to get me in trouble. I'm always in trouble anyway. It's all right. Okay. So the first one was that the Adriana had this, you know, bisexual gay affair with julia believe it or not uh i don't know i wouldn't doubt it i wouldn't doubt that it happened uh wouldn't surprise me at all do you know there on the show there was someone called the haitian mortician i heard about that on that clip yeah i saw that on the clip that is so miami that is just so miami everything from santeria which you know at santeria is when they sacrifice animals and put hexes on people then the haitian martitian that is just so miami that seriously it wouldn't even that's like normal here that kind of stuff um alexia and todd um what are your what are your thoughts on alexia and marisol because there was one um there was one accusation in the reunion that nicole you know dr nicole right from i know her added not really well but i do know her and we have mutual friends yeah okay so there were actually asked my advice about signing on to the show so i know her a little bit what'd you tell her the truth you know that uh that it's what you make of it and would anything you you know don't do anything that you don't want to be um publicized or taped because the film the cameras are running all the time and that there were a couple of people that she absolutely needed to watch her back about because they would do whatever they could to bring her down because she was a prettier, younger, thinner version, and they weren't going to have it.
7:41I was right about it. You just said Marisol. Well, they couldn't wait to get her off the show. They ran her off was the inside story that I heard from producers. So I don't know. Well, there was an accusation on the reunion that Nicole said that Marisol hired a PI to come after her. uh that wouldn't surprise me at all but she wouldn't have hired it she would have traded something to get it for free but i wouldn't be surprised she wouldn't have paid it wouldn't surprise me i mean this is a girl that i this is she'll get somebody i'll get you a free dress you know i'll get i i know somebody they'll give you a free dinner at a restaurant she'll do something to get out of paying but i won't be surprised that she figured out a way to to do that i mean this is a girl that hires a writer to write one-liners for her hoping they'll go viral and she can get gifts out of them so she'll do anything you know i mean that's just that's her that's who she is yeah um yeah i heard that they ran her off that they ran nicole off you know that's what one of the producers told me that the two girls couldn't run her off fast enough so i guess they did maybe it was investigator maybe it was gossiping about her her family her husband who knows i don't know i didn't follow it but they will find a way to run her off if They don't want to run there.
8:55Yeah. So you run in big powerful circles. Have you encountered or dealt with Stephanie Shojai, the newbie, or her husband of the Shoma group? You know, this is really funny. Miami is a very small town in a big way. And I have never even heard of her before. I was shocked. I didn't remember her. I know. I had never heard of her. And I still wouldn't be able to pick her out of a lineup. Because one picture I saw, she had blonde hair. heard another picture your hair was back and it looked like brown in a bun and i was like is that the same girl so i don't know i don't know anything about her no opinion no comment no i don't know anything about her she could be the most fabulous person in the world or she could be the worst i don't know have you ever uh encountered masood before who that's her husband masood that's her developer i'd never heard of him either i mean maybe i live in my own little world but i had never i'd never heard of them yeah um so who else do you still know from the cast do you keep in contact with anybody on there do you contact with lisa a little bit with lisa um i used to keep closer touch with lisa than i have recently uh who else who are some of them i can't remember who they are you know what about alexia no what about alexia where do you what was it what has been the arc of your relationship with alexia because when you were on miami in the in the early days alexia was much more of a side character and when they brought it back they really centered her.
10:20So what was your relationship with Alexia back then? The thing with Alexia, her husband, Herman at the time, did not want her to go on the show. And he like literally just put his foot down. I mean, she wanted on there so bad. So I tried to help convince him to let her on. And I said, let her on the show, Herman. I'll have her back. She'll be fine. It's all going to work out. And I kind of helped convince him to to let her get on the show. And then for me, I always said she had two faces. You know, when I was selling my skincare cream, I'm like, I can sell her double because she's got two faces.
10:59And, you know, and she does have two faces. And for me, the final straw with her, in addition to the conniving and the lying and the backstabbing and the rest of that that she does with her sidekick over there was when they outed Herman. That was crossing a line for me. There's no going back from that. That is there is no going back from that. You don't do that to somebody that supported you and your two kids because your husband was in jail and you had nothing and they support you for 10 years and give you a great life. And then they're six feet under and can't defend themselves and you use it as a storyline for me that there was no going back from that oh that's interesting because when that happened she was kind of a hero i think on with the audience that's all bullshit because let me tell you when i used to go to every single thing they ever had in my maybe i hosted the first white party in my backyard that's how far back i go with the gay community i was at every event they ever had i hosted half of them i did the parade i did it all in all those years i never saw one thing ever she was never at one thing and sorry to gay pride in uh in this up in this uh not this season but in this version of the show and she was a little problematic actually well when she when she outed her and they had to paint her as a friend to the gay community or it would have made her look like who she is somebody that outed a gay husband that she knew was gay all along so she didn't know he was gay all along
12:39yeah and i don't care she was a huge shock on the show like i can't believe it i heard from the ex you know i can't believe this is happening i thought herman was one of the most stand-up guys he always defended me he always reached out to me he would meet me for drinks at the fountain blue hotel and confided me and give me all the gossip he was a great guy and i think she resented my relationship with him too but the fact that she outed him when he wasn't here to defend himself or tell his side of the story and they connived that the two of them to have a storyline and put that out there in the public domain there's no going back from that for me that's wow it's rotten into the core.
13:20Who does that? If you were to ever go back on Real Hustles of Miami, which I would really like, by the way, I would love you to go back on this show. Would you say this to her? Would you tell us to Alexia? I don't know that they're worth my time to talk to. After that last reunion, when they all attacked me and they all came at me. I find out later from my friend that owns a dress store that they had been in the dress store practicing how they were going to bring me down all week. They had scripts and they had ideas and who was going to say what, how they're going to bring me down. I'm walking into Houston's with Roy and Roy Jr., the restaurant, the next day after the reunion and she's calling me, hey, let's get together, how you doing?
14:05I'm like, what are you talking about? And I said, why would I want to ever talk to you? And she goes, oh, that was just all for, That was all just for the show. I'm like, no, nothing's ever just for the show. We don't do things just for the show. That's not who we are. That's not who I am. You know, could I go back on that show? They all have to wear name tags because you can't recognize any of them. Wait, Larsa sure looks the same as she did 13 years ago. Larsa looks exactly the same, Leah. You know who actually does look the same? Larsa's somebody that I've never had a crossword with. I have no issues with Larsa.
14:40She's always been very good to me. And her husband, too. He's a stand-up guy. I've always had no issues with him. And Anna, I don't have any issues with Anna. Yeah, you're friends with Anna still. You know who looks exactly the same? Lisa Hochstein. She looks exactly the same, I think. Because, you know, maybe she went a little too far early on. And so it's kind of, I don't know. I think she looks exactly the same as she used to. Yeah, she's maintained. There's a question in here. What cast member put some kind of a Santhoria curse on you or something? oh that was marisol so what what's the story of that because i forget that so i was at the opening of the sls hotel um i forget after season one and i run into christy rice and everybody knows we kind of had some conflict that kind of conflict that we had is like disneyland conflict of this stuff right going to the going to the gala right and she came up to me and uh And she just she she told me, she said, my mother goes to this reader and this reader had your picture and the drag queen's picture there and said that, you know, Marisol had asked them to put a hex on you to get you off the show.
15:56I just rolled my eyes like, OK, good luck with that. You know, but I just the point is, it's who who are you being in the matter in any given circumstance? I don't know anybody that's that dark that would put a hex on somebody to get them off of a TV show. I mean, it's just not in my consciousness. I grew up in Texas where you have the key to the neighbor's door and everybody's rooting for you and everybody wants you to be fabulous. And, you know, I was shocked. The behavior was just I was blindsided by the behavior. And I couldn't even wrap my head around it. I was like, what? and and so i didn't even know they had people that put inses on people but apparently it's a thing santeria is a thing that's my first experience with it but who would want me on the show do you think that maybe you'd be a better fit on beverly hills i mean because that's the other thing is that like you know you have a house here in la like maybe i think i would have been a better fit for beverly hills because well first i i love some of the girls on there i i really do some of them where the audience likes them or not.
17:03I know who they are. And maybe they don't come across that way on the show. But there's some really good people on that show. I love the producer of that show, Alex Baskin. And I like some of the girls on the show. And I like that it was highbrow gossip and fighting, you know, not gutterscake. And I like that. So yeah, I probably would have been a better fit but on the other hand you've got to realize in LA there's probably a line from my house in the Hollywood Hills to the grove of young beautiful girls that want to be on that show so it's never a contender do you understand what I mean it's like there's like way too many people with bigger names too gorgeous too fabulous too rich too famous in line ahead of me to ever be on the show so it was never even really um I never really thought about it it wouldn't it wouldn't have but would i be a friend i would have been a better i would have been a better fit for that show i think would i be a friend of what i'm where a friend like would you be on beverly hills if they said hey we want you to be a friend of of the cast or something like that i don't know i mean i wouldn't i wouldn't rule it out it's not something i haven't really thought about i guess it would depend on who i was friends with if it was authentic i might consider it if it was fake i wouldn't do it yeah who are you friends with on the cast right now is it like in beverly hills i wouldn't say i'm friendly i was very friendly with lisa renna i adore her i was always friendly with uh lisa and ken i was uh i i i have the tremendous amount of respect for erica jane what she's been through and the way she came out on the other side i mean who doesn't applaud that so yeah you know i'd have to think about who else but yeah for the most part oh lord and kyle i was friendly with kyle you know i've been oh my gosh go crazy we'd go crazy with you and i wouldn't say friendly friendly with her it's time for a commercial it's time for a crappin's commercial yeah you know i should we should do the recap erica jane and kyle we'd be arguing all the time in real life yeah i mean i don't know believe me i don't probably say she even knows who I am, but I have interacted with her a few times.
19:20I don't have any issues. I don't know. I liked the girls on the show because I feel like that they brought their a game every time. You know what I mean? Do you remember how many hours they spend in hair and makeup and wardrobe to go on that show? So no, I couldn't do the show for that reason. Yeah. But you know, what's so great about you is that you really do just say what's on your mind and you, you give your opinion it's very unfiltered and and beverly hills is such a show where they are so filtered and they are so they are they clutch their pearls all the time and i would love someone like you just to come in and just just just say things like just be you know like that's the way you gotta realize in beverly hills this is just a part-time gig for them and a stepping stone for some big movie part they want to be in or some big Broadway show they want to be in or some big influencer thing they want to do.
20:16So they kind of have to watch their minds and mind their manners a little bit because they're seeing the bigger picture. In Miami, they never saw the bigger picture. When they were plotting against me, what I was plotting was a cooking line for one girl, a lingerie line for another girl, a fitness line for another girl. I had them all lined up as well, how I could market them, brand them, sell their products and give them, build them a little mini empire that they could have residual passive income for the rest of their life. That's what I was doing while they were plotting to bring me down. That's the difference between me and them.
20:56You're even like that with us. I mean, you tell me every time I see, what are you selling? What are you selling? Sell it. I love to promote people. I love to promote people and I love to have other people make money off of my ideas. And I love to train and motivate women to earn what they're worth rather than what someone's willing to pay them. And that's what I do and who I am. And I was blindsided by this. We have to bring you down and torture you and lie about you and make you look bad in order to be a star on this show. What are you talking about? You're not a star. You're a personality. It's not a show.
21:30I don't even know what it is. and within their mind they're moving stars and their mind yeah stars yeah well you know alexia had a big thing on the show where she was like i'm a star you know i'm a star okay and so that was a big thing they all got mad at her because she said she was basically the star yeah i was born a star so that was actually that's funny that you bring that up I'm telling you the self-awareness. It's so shame that you can't embarrass them. By the way, someone else in the comment just said, I can't stop looking at the croissants behind Leah on the picture. See, it's not just me looking at those and thinking they're croissants.
22:09I thought those were donuts. No, they're pumpkins. So James came over. Oh, they're pumpkins? That's all the graphics and media and packaging and everything. He's really brilliant at it. Those are pumpkins. I guess because it's coming up on Thanksgiving. Yeah, it's fall. You got to get your pumpkin in there. I know. I see croissants. All right, Leah. One of my skincare products is right there. Yeah. I was going to say, speaking of businesses and growing businesses, tell us what's going on with Leah Black Skincare. Well, you know, I've been doing this since I was 20 years old. I branded and ran two or three skincare companies of my own.
22:46and I pioneered the CBD line, literally got it approved and pioneered and got it into my skincare line. And I have a full complete line. A lot of it is CBD based and the results are visual. You see the results immediately. And people, when they become a customer, they rarely leave. They always stay with me. So I pride myself in the best customer service and the best quality of raw ingredients that you can get in a skincare line. it's all science-based it's all backed up with testimonials before is after science data research development all of that it's not a lick and stick line you know some people call 1-800 skin care and order their product and put their name on it have a vanity project it's not that it's it's like you know we actually really do the work so i have you know every day wake up you wash your face with the wash the wash or you could use the exfoliant if you want and then you put on a moisturizer could be the cbd moisturizer it could be the regular moisturizer or it could be this really intense moisturizer and then i have a an oil that's a thousand milligrams of cbd which i don't think anybody has a thousand milligrams of cbd in their oil and i use that at night and then i use the non-surgical facelift kit which is really what built the company it's a mask you put on that It lifts tones, firms, opens up the pores, cleans out the pores, and really lifts tones, firms, and tightens the skin.
24:12And then your favorite product that you like are the iPads. And I can't believe you're not wearing them for this fabulous presentation. I left mine in Texas, and you can really tell I've got some. It does get rid of the puffiness in the bags. Then I have the shampoo, and I have the chest pads, too. You know, women age in their back, their hands, and on their chest. So I have these iPads that you can put, and I have them in the size for your hands and for your, look, let me show you. Oh, yeah. You can put your glasses on and go to the pressure store. Just keep on going. So what package did you put together for these guys?
24:51I put a package together for you that, because I wanted to introduce this to your audience. I've been with your audience and been with you for all these years, and we've never talked about the product on there. And I know you don't want to turn it into an infomercial, and I don't mean to. I just want your customers to have the benefit of trying the product. So I put together a$99 package where they can get the iPads, a box of the iPads, come in a box, and they can get the eye cream for$99. It's valued at$218. And the shipping is free. And they can do that up through the November the 24th. Okay, and then how do they do it?
25:30okay and if they don't want those they can get 25 off on anything else they want in the line until the 31st of october with the you're gonna love this with the promo code crap okay so they just go to leanblack.com and there will be a banner to click on it's very simple okay i love it right on well get some get some and send me some of those ipads i need some I know. And they're good on the chest, too, and the hands. Well, I'm not even looking that far down. You know, at this point, this is all I look at. Waddle up. Waddle up. Yeah. If you put these in the refrigerator, too, people like these in the refrigerator because they're cool and they don't have any flammation.
26:11Do you have any waddle stuff? I don't want to get political, but, you know, there's a picture out there right now on the Cover Time magazine where somebody makes your waddle look like it's tight. I look downright presidential isn't that what you're telling me it looks like you've been using Leah Black's skin in her to tie me compared to that that's funny alright Leah we sure love you everybody follow Leah Black on Instagram at Leah Black Miami you'll find links in bio there go to LeahBlack.com I'll see you in Texas special yes I'll be back soon I'll be back there soon so we'll hang out there and then we'll see you when you come back here to finish up the house and stuff like that But we sure love you.
26:54And thanks so much for coming on here, baby. I've never done a$99 special. It's just for you guys because I really want your audience to love my products. And I love you. I hope you invite me back. We love you. Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah, thanks for all tea, Leah. We'll talk to you later, lady. All right. I'm in trouble now. I know I'm in trouble. Probably. Probably. Love you. It's a good time, though. Yeah, I love that she's so willing to just come on and say whatever the hell she wants to. That's so refreshing to meet someone who really doesn't give a crap if they're back on the show or not, you know?
27:29Because most people I feel like are always trying to get back on. It's like, screw those people. Why would I want to hang out with them anyway, you know? No, I really, every time I say I want Leah Black back on The Real Housewives, it's not because we know her or not because she was like our first guest ever on Crappins. It truly is because I find her endlessly entertaining. and she does she just does cut right through the bullshit so like if kyle were to say some bullshit on beverly hills i just would love leah to be like well that's ridiculous you know and well you never said that the other day you went to the mall you said you weren't gonna go to the mall then you went to the mall and now here i am and well now you're saying you're telling all these different people you went to the mall but i know you didn't go to the mall so which one is it i don't understand i'd be like i would be ready i'm ready for that i want that on my Beverly Hills.
28:15Yeah. Well, we'll see. Time will tell. All right. So let's get into some Bravo headlines for the week. So a lot of you, this is two weeks later, right? Than our last crappy hour. And of course, right after we do crappy hour, Wendy and Eddie get arrested of Real Housewives of Potomac. And that was very shortly after we did our last crappy hour. So we talked about, we've talked about that at length in a couple of recaps already. but just to kind of review because people who don't listen to every recap want us to talk about that so what say you i mean there's breaking down their arrest i'm sure you guys all know by now what happened it's basically insurance fraud that they're accused of faking a robbery in their home saying that someone broke in stole all this stuff well then they find out that a lot of the purses and birkins and outfits and stuff that they said were stolen were actually returned for money and there was an email that Eddie sent Wendy that was like, hey, can we add anything onto this insurance claim?
29:12Because I really want to max out the insurance. I really want to max out. I mean, they weren't very bright about it. Also, there was ring. They have ring cameras, but there was no footage of anybody entering or leaving the home. There are motion sensors in the home. They never went off. So it just wasn't the brightest trickery for sure. So what have you heard since the arrest and stuff, Ben? What are some updates? well um they've been sort of quiet nothing has really happened however she did break her silence yesterday and if you want to hear what her statement is be prepared to be underwhelmed because of course there were headlines on like ew and people that were like dr wendy sfo breaks her silence and then it was basically just her saying do it all god remains faithful like okay well She basically says, yeah, I know.
30:05Thank you for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers for myself. And most importantly, my family during this time. We are forever grateful. Pray hands. And then she tells everyone to tune in to like tonight's Real Housewives of Potomac. So, you know, she hasn't really said anything yet. But I did see there was a report that I guess there was crushing. They had crushing debt is what I read. in one area. So that's one of the things that they've, the investigators flagged. So I don't know, like, I still feel like there was a lot more yarn to pull from this yarn ball. Yeah. So I think we're just going to have to wait and see.
30:45I was kind of annoyed at first because she was supposed to be the first wife swap episode that aired of that show and they pulled the episode. And so there was a lot of talk, like is Wendy getting fired? Did they get rid of her wife swap episode. Thankfully, it looks like they put it back on the schedule for later in the season. They just took it off. It's actually scheduled for November 9th, which is so funny because the sentencing is on November 7th. Wow. Good to see that Bravo is still up to its shenanigan. They're literally going to air the show two days after her sentencing. Well, I thought it was kind of bad for them to pull it because that would be so much hearing.
31:24But I thought that it would be such good publicity. Well, not great publicity, but it would be publicity for Y swap to have just aired it that week. It seemed weird that they didn't air it, but I guess maybe they found something they could get more ratings for. I mean, I don't know. I think that maybe ride the publicity wave, but I think they don't want to look too much like they're exploiting criminals, you know, or really bad behavior because there is still the, the, the specter of Bethany out there being like reality reckoning, reality reckoning, you know, like these are the things that Bravo encourages its stars to do.
31:54So like they, you know, they need to pretend like they don't condone this sort of stuff. But I'm sure people will watch this episode of Wendy's Wife Swap for sure, looking for clues for, you know, death. Yeah, but we watch it with magnifying glasses. Heck yeah. I mean, even in the real episodes now, I was watching Potomac. Like, where did you get that outfit that you're wearing to the bench at the river to have this scene? And why are you wearing that? You know, you start watching everything differently. So that's Wendy. I mean, I don't know. It's only been a couple of weeks, but, you know, that's the thing about only doing crappy hour every couple of weeks, you know?
32:33Like, I'm bored. I feel like they've already been to prison, been out, and it's time for the redemption season. That's definitely how storylines work on me. I am very interested to see the next few beats in this scandal because I think it's fascinating. like i really i really can't believe that these two seemingly very intelligent people got in went down this path and like that's that's wildly you know fascinating to me so i'm definitely going to be tuning in to all the story beats but there really is nothing that's happened since since the arrest you know the initial shock has worn down and so you know it felt definitely funny when the tagline was i put the high and higher education because it's like uh we were a little concerned that maybe too much higher education went into this plan that you guys went into because it's not working out for you.
33:26Yeah. Well, something that I've been more interested in than that, I think, because this is newer news, is the suit man controversy on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I thought that was so hilarious when they got in that fight at the restaurant where i don't know there was a murder suicide in front of a dog and um lisa accused angie of having an affair with someone named the soup man and so we thought that was hilarious obviously well of course leave it to the internet to give us reasons to make even a conspiracy about a soup man now i was googling who is the soup man but um there were some reddit threads recently because Sophia Franklin, who is she used to be the co-host of Call Her Daddy back in the day before they broke up.
34:17And that became a single host hosted show. She has her own podcast now. And she was talking to Meredith at some point and was saying, you know, what's really weird is that, like, I think Angie dated my ex once. And then Meredith went off and on and on about Angie and kind of didn't get into that. But apparently Sophia used to refer to her ex boyfriend as Suitman and he's in Salt Lake City. So now everybody is saying, oh, it wasn't Soupman. It was Suitman. And so everybody thinks that Angie has been having an affair or was having an affair a while ago named Suitman, who is apparently I'm getting this from a comment on Reddit.
34:57Suitman, according to Google, is Peter Nelson. He worked as an executive VP for HBO Sports and left in 2020 and he's a harvard graduate in ancient greek oh that's the it all seems like uh like a little far-fetched but then that that little element there oh a harvard graduate in ancient greek yes that's a damning correlation that's crazy right and so all of this is just gossip like who knows if any of this is true the only reason i'm repeating it is because it's out there It's everywhere. You know, I've been seeing it all over the place. And because Sophia Franklin brought it up on her show. So it would be interesting to see what happens.
35:39I hope it's not true because I don't want Angie getting in trouble. I like Angie, obviously. So, yeah, I hope it's not true either. But I think if it is true, the funniest part about it is that, of course, Lisa Barlow butchers it and goes on to national TV and says, I heard all the rumors about you and the soup man. It's like the soup man. This is how things, this is how rumors start. It's a suit man and you turn him into the soup man. Like it doesn't even make it. That's just classically Sabarlo right there. Yeah. Commercials. Here comes one right now.
36:20So there's other stuff going on in relationships on Bravo. We've got, what's your buns? Beer men. Ariana Beer men broke up with her boyfriend. and MJ and Tommy filed for divorce. I didn't know about that. Yeah, that just happened. Someone just said it right there. Yeah, I think that was just announced. And Aaron Pfeiffer, that mother effer, was just thrown in jail. He got arrested for abusing Denise. They went into court and she was detailing some of the abuse and they arrested his ass right in court. And he's out today on a$200 ,000 bail. So I hope that one fucking rots. What a piece of crap that guy is.
36:57And I hope your parents rot too. and I hope somebody kicks him out of that damn house. You're a disgusting human being, sir. So that's all the love stuff on Bravo that I could find. Wow. I'm glad that he was arrested. I mean, what a piece of shit that guy is. I mean, he is exactly what everyone always suspected him to be, you know? And they did a good job of pulling the wool sort of over our eyes with the Denise Richards and her wild things and all that, but you know, he He really is a user. And we definitely flagged it in the beginning of that show when Denise was like laughing off. Oh, Aaron, well, Aaron's family moved into our house and now we're in condos that we're renting.
37:39We're like, why is this family? They moved in during COVID or something and they're still there. We're like, something is not right with this situation. Yeah, not good. Oh, actually, that's not the end of the relationship talk because Martina and Julia are staying together. It's what we're hearing from Real Housewives of Miami. And Julia Lemingova, seeking treatment for PTSD after explosive outbursts on Real Housewives of Miami. It was a cry for help. So Julia came out with a lot of articles during the weeks of the reunion because she was getting so hammered. So one is that she had PTSD. So I hope we all feel bad for her.
38:17And also she is starting opera school, which nobody deserves that. The teachers don't deserve that. I think it's time to retire the opera thing. Like that was really should not have even come back for a second season. And it's too late. I'm going to say this right now. It's too late to go on your opera journey. I feel like your vocal cords are probably set in place. Everything is locked in. Sorry, the bread has been baked. Now it's time to just enjoy your moment on the display case because this is not, you just can't go back in there. Sorry, it's over. Yeah, it's done. Give it up. Hang up the towel.
38:55What are you singing here that you want to talk about? Well, I mean, if we're talking about singing, Ronnie, I mean, who am I to deny everyone from the news that there is a well, she's not a new Shantuz, but she seems to have been inspired by one of her co-stars on The Love Hotel. That's right. None other than Ashley. Ashley Darby went to 54 Below and she went and sang some show tunes. I'm impressed. Play. I think you'll be able to hear it on I'll set this Is everyone ready to hear Ashley Darby singing At 54 Below Alright I press play and then it gets the spinning circle Thanks a lot Maybe the internet's like We are protecting you The internet doesn't want you getting PTSD Can you hear this?
39:48Mmhmm No, she's making her play For Chicago, huh? They're gonna wait outside in line to get to see Roxy. Yeah, she wants it.
40:08It's not the worst we've heard, but it's a little community thing.
40:19She's in like a pink sparkly dress. so anyway oh wow okay the reviews are in i just want to tell you what the listeners are saying is that went on um no how could you do this to us question mark stop that stop that no you stop it right now who okayed this my ears are bleeding who's the piano player that's my favorite who's the piano she's like yeah she's the one person to sell block tango that everyone agrees no she should be there no he did not none of us had that coming none of us had that coming it was not deserved for not a justifiable crime so that that's like singing uh in the in the world now some other stuff that is in here um there where where was it i mean people were by the way i was surprised how many people were really alarmed by Ariana and Hudson breaking up.
41:17I think they were more concerned for Kim Zolciak's sake because I think Kim was really banking on that Hudson, that fried chicken money to be the next chapter of her life. Literally. And that's gone. Yeah. So I am a little, you know, I think we're all a bit concerned for her on that front. And speaking of Atlanta, this is some news that just broke about like two hours ago. This is stupid, but amusing, which is that Kelly, you may remember her from the, one of the newbies from Real Housewives of Atlanta, because I know most people are like, who's Kelly? Like she's, she's a new housewife. She hired Phaedra to represent her in a court battle with her ex.
41:57Do you think that's a smart idea, Ronnie? Do you think that will actually be a productive use of Kelly's money? You know, I don't know. I don't know how success, I mean, I know that she's been a lawyer for a long time, obviously it's Phaedra Parks, but I don't know that I'd want like a undertaker lawyer. I mean, I don't, she has her hands and her fingers in a lot of pots. You know what I mean? So I don't know. I think I'd want someone maybe focused, like more focused on being a lawyer. Do we hear of any like high power cases? I think the only case we saw her taking was that one where she was taking like a big briefcase of cash in a parking lot in her first season, remember?
42:35Well, there's Bobby Brown. She represented Bobby Brown, which I think was her claim to fame. I don't think that went well, did it? probably not there was the briefcase guy oh wait there was also um the party planner who wanted to sue candy so yeah that's that's a positive endorsement yeah i feel like this is maybe not kelly's wisest move i feel like when was the last time phaedra actually was practicing law um i don't know i think she's been practicing right i think she's like an on on again off again law practice. Michelle in the comments says, do you have hazel eyes, Ronnie? I do. Like Kelly Clarkson?
43:15Yes, I do have hazel eyes. Yeah, you can tell a little more in the dark because the light is brighter on my face. I think mine are brown. Mine change. I'm trying to open my eyes so the lights can get into it. In bright light, mine will become hazel or if I'm in a park or something like that that's green, they'll turn bright green. It's really weird. Oh, wow. Your eyes look so hazel right now. Yeah. They're super hazel. They're hazel guys. Big hazel energy. Did we already go over the Brit Eady video that she made in a pool? Did we already talk about this? No, I did not. So she's in a pool, I guess, with a friend and her husband.
43:52And she's just, you know, going on and on about, you know. Fuck those people. Shamia's a bitch. And they want to talk about my videos? Oh, yeah? Well, what about Shamia's porn? There's Shamia porn. You can find it on the internet. So go look for it, everybody, because you'll find Shamia porn. I mean, it was a really long video. I watched a lot of it. But that was the gist of it. You know, she's never coming back to the show. She's too good for it. Why would she even go to the reunion? No one deserved her time. They're all a bunch of liars. And Shamia has porn on the internet. Yeah, it seems like a weird thing to proclaim while you're simultaneously suing Bravo for, like, a bad work environment because someone was claiming that there was porn of you being displayed at an event.
44:41So you just go around and you do it to Shamia, who was not part of that. It just goes to show what trash Brit Eadie is. And if you're going to quit a show, quit a show. But don't quit a show and then just keep complaining about it and trying to stay relevant on the show. If you wanted to stay relevant on the show, you would have stayed with the show and you wouldn't have been so ridiculous. Not that we wanted you to stay. I'm happy that Brit Eadie is gone. One of the worst casting choices of all time for Bravo. So I think she was like down there with Diana Jenkins. Yeah, she was not. Although I would argue that Diana Jenkins, Diana Jenkins was probably one of the most vile people that Bravo ever hired.
45:17But I would argue that Diana Jenkins had a lot of campy appeal because she was so awful. But she had that kind of like European villainess energy that like is like very funny to me as like a gay man. But Brit Eadie just didn't even bring camp. She just was like trash, lying trash. and I said good riddance to her. Yeah, my gosh. So, oh, so there's just some stuff that I'm reading in the comments here. Sarah says, Adriana was on a podcast where she said one of the reasons Julia's daughter is upset with her is because Julia used the daughter to care for Martina while she was away in Europe for facial surgery.
45:56Oh, and that gets to a little bit of what Gertie was talking about. When Gertie brought up the face, the facelift at the wedding, that was one of the precursors to Julia tossing the water in her face. Julia is obviously very sensitive about that because Gertie said something along the lines of, while Martina is like sick, you went off and got yourself a facelift. And so especially if the daughter is then the one who had to take care of Martina during that time, then yeah, I can imagine that adds some texture to that situation. Yeah. Speaking of Miami, there so um there was there was a thing recently with gertie she was commenting on she's speaking with emily hanks hi emily love ya she was speaking on her instagram recent post and julia's social worker left a comment so gertie says no i did not offer to get on the cruise she asked me and that's what that's what my text messages proved till this day i still don't know why my text messages were blurred in the first place there was no big reveal no big reveal except for this simple fact shrug Shrug emoji.
47:03This is a shrug emoji with a shaking head. Okay. But blurring them made it seem like I was exposing intimate details, which I would never do. I would never do that. So then there's a comment by Connie Going that says, at Gertie Design, you are the eternal victim. Dot, dot, dot, dot. You get four dots in this ellipses. Move on, space, dot. This show defines no one. Space, dot. But so Connie, I'm sorry, but Connie typing a comment like my mom spaces before periods for four periods in an ellipsy. And Gertie responds. Hi, Connie. I recognize you from our show. You are Julia's social worker. But did she pay you a bonus to also be on her social media spokesperson?
47:46Stay out of this and stick to foster caring. I will publicly expose all the nasty comments you have wrote about me and sent me three, three periods in an ellipsis. And if you've seen the show, you know I will. So keep it up, Connie. Thumbs up emoji. Maybe she's Julia's social worker. Like, she literally works on her social media. That's truly what the social is. No, she's the social worker getting the kids for her and going and fighting for Julia on comments on Instagram. That's messiness. Grow up, Connie, going. Yeah, come on, Connie. I have something that I'm loath to bring up Because you know I don't really like to talk about this at all Oh really?
48:27Well keep it up Connie Keep it up Keep it up But I feel like I should mention this But there is McBee Dynasty news Which is that Stephen McBee Was sentenced It's happened Stephen McBee Sr America's sweetheart he is uh he's going to jail for two years for fraud see now the thing is this him going to jail for fraud like that's not shocking that's not like wendy osefo shocking you look at this guy and you say this is someone who's going to commit fraud if he has him already you know so yeah two years two years behind bars yeah my whole first season you're like this guy's totally going to jail at some point because he kept saying oh you know our equipment's always getting stolen and you know guys if we have one more insurance claim we're in trouble we can't have another insurance claim and it's like uh i mean it seems so obvious now looking back you know so yeah he got a couple of years so it'll be interesting for the to see because the boys also got a season three of the show so they picked up filming to watch his sentencing or to film his sentencing and i guess that they're going to be shooting a third season of that show so we will be seeing how the boys are dealing with the most important farm in - What's the name of their place that they live?
49:48Missouri, in Gatlin. In Gatlin, Missouri. Yeah, in Gatlin. It's the most important. You are the most pessimistic person I've ever met about farms. Sentencing, that's also when Cole tries to form a thought. They call it that sentencing. Speaking of Cole, he posted a story, and it's a picture from the wedding, from Jesse's wedding. It's like Jesse and what's the name of his wife? Like Claire or something like that. What's her name? Lydia? Jess, I don't know. I don't, I don't remember the wife. I'm there for Jesse. I'm just there for Jesse. So it's Jesse and whatever her face was. I know the mom's Christy.
50:26Christy is the mom. There's Cole and then Lady Cole. And then there's Steve Sr. And then there's a Caitlin. There should be a Beth, but I don't think there is a Beth. I feel like there should be though. what's the name of the the blonde twit uh the young one i see i've already purged their names okay i don't know i don't remember she kayla kaylin whatever her name is oh she's the worst cola cola kayla her name is kayla kayla is his ex-girlfriend kayla is right main guy steven's ex yeah right so she's so so we see all the mcbees they're all standing and uh it says we will get through anything together to the heart of a man.
51:06I know it's our turn to be here for you. We got you, dad. Like, yeah, you'll get through anything except for like a splash of coffee or like some Kool-Aid because you guys are wearing so much white right now. And you guys will all crumble to bits the moment that shit gets stained. It's like, all I want to do is just take some sort of like vividly red liquid splash at that Instagram story right now. Oh, so they all wore white on an Instagram story about their dad being innocent. It's a little on the nose, guys. It's a wedding. Oh, it's a wedding photo. It's like nothing shows how we stand strong like standing here behind a bride and a groom with an octagonal arch not so far away.
51:44Hexagonal bend. That was hexagonal. Hexagonal. Hexagonal. Well, he went to another shocking arrest was Camille from Below Deck. She was arrested for a DUI. This is like my favorite thing that I read. That idiot. She's an idiot in so many different ways. And now she's added another dimension to it. Well, that's a lot of people being arrested and breaking up and being thrown in jail and being almost thrown in jail. I mean, come on. That's a lot of a lot of court. You know who's working right now on Bravo? People in the court system. They have a very busy time in Bravo news right now because there's a lot going on.
52:22Did you see Camille's mugshot? I'm going to tell you this right now. Not as good as Wendy and Eddie's. Camille looks like she literally just like crashed right through a 7-Eleven or something. She does not. This is a rough mugshot. As Bravo Mugshots go, this is probably bottom three. It's also a terrible camera that they're using. It's like a very grainy. It's not very good. But it does say she's six feet. Is that true? Oh, no. She's five foot six. Sorry, I was reading it wrong. I was like, damn, she's six feet. Yeah, she looks a little rough. She looks rough, and she's wearing like a little jewel tear on the very edge of her eyes.
53:04She's peaked. She's done. Yeah, she's done. You're cooked. You're cooked, Camille. Well, I think it's time to turn this over and talk to some of our listeners. What say you, Ben?
