Ah, search MTD ready with 0. Hello everyone and welcome to everything iconic with me, Danny Palagrino. Today we're going to be talking about summer house and I'm feeling very energized by all the new people in the cast. It's out with the old and in with the new. I'm liking the new people, I'm liking that Ben and Bailey are getting in the mix a little bit more. KJ's got really ship of d'arras, I guess coming back next week. And so the new people are really bringing it for me and I'm feeling it. And I think that's what's going to be the future of summer house. Obviously we're going to get rid of some of the OG's, they're going to go to their spin-off. And then I'd imagine summer house is going to continue on with people like KJ and maybe Jesse and West. Although there's all these rumors, which actually let me back up a minute. Because I want to let everyone know that I'm recording this before I head to New York to do watch what happens live. So I'm going to be on watch what happens live. Probably it will have already happened by the time we're listening to this. Because I'm going to be on after the summer house episode with Kyle Cook. Kyle DJ Cook. I'm going to be on there. Some very nervous and excited. But you guys probably will have already seen that episode or that episode will have been taped. Because this podcast will come out right as the episode is airing. Does that make sense? But I'm recording it beforehand. I don't know. I feel like I'm trying to explain the plot of inception at this point. But the truth is, I'm very excited to do Watch what happens live. I always have a great time there. And then I'll tell you guys about how it went next week on the podcast when I'm back. But I want to let everyone know that this is pre-watch what happens live. I'm recording this pre-watch what happens live. And I'm so grateful they invited me back. I can't wait. But anyway, that's not the point. The point is, as of this recording, there are all these rumors about West and Amanda. And perhaps those two have Italians. So I'm excited to watch what happens live to get to the bottom of this. But I don't know if I believe it or not. I don't know. At first I definitely did not believe it. It's like places like Dumas and some of these like gossipy sites have been reporting that Amanda and West have been covertly sort of hooking up or dating or something like that. And I was like, absolutely not. That feels so fake. I don't believe it for a second. Although on the podcast, I think earlier in the season as we've been recapping some her house, there was a couple of moments where I said, oh, let's keep an eye on those two. Remember on the beach when Kyle was yelling at Amanda, West went up to her and was like comforting her. And I was like, oh, that's like a duo that maybe we should keep our eyes on. But I didn't think it was like that romantical. And so when these rumors came out, I was like, absolutely not. That's completely false. That's made up. I don't buy it. And then I started to see all these pictures of the two of them together. And I'm like, am I, am I, am I being bamboozled now? Like am I being tricked into thinking it's real? Is it all publicity stunt? Or is it actual thing that's happening? I don't know, but we got to get to the bottom of it. And maybe by the time this airs, we'll have already been debunked or something. But what would happen? What would happen? Does that mean West would go over to the spin-off show? So how would Kyle react if he found out West was, and then where to see her fall into all this? Because here we are watching the show and I'm thinking, oh, West and Sierra might be a thing again. And then in real time, and find out on social media, maybe it's West and Sierra. So what's the truth? I don't know. I don't know. Let's talk about this week's episode. So we open with Jesse in bed with Sierra. It's 7.15 pm July 25th. And let's see, Sierra, or Jesse says, I guess I'm not going to say that. I guess I'm glad we're having this conversation. So many jokes I could make right now about our conversation, but I won't. I'm just glad we talked. And then Jesse, because lastly, you can show me, remember, he confesses love to Sierra. And Sierra is like, what the fact? And then after Sierra basically says, I'm not interested. And stop treating me like a piece of meat. That's when Jesse opens this episode, just saying, like, I'm glad we had this conversation. And then they fist bump. They fist bump. Eventually they had, but Jesse's first instinct was to fist bump. And it's like, Jesse, I had it with him. I mean, I've had it with that man. And to me, I just, I don't know how much longer I could watch. Jesse, he's just not for me. And God bless if he is for anyone. I don't know who he's for exactly. You know, like when they, I don't know if there was like a brand summit about Jesse. I'm not sure who exactly would be there or what they would be talking about, because I don't understand who the audience is for that man. I guess he's tall. It's like that what he offers, the people is that he's tall. I don't know. It's like Jesse, but he fist bump Sierra after that whole, how do you confess your love? And then fist bump. Eventually, like I mentioned, they do hug. And they say they love each other. And Sierra is like, I love you, Jesse. And it's cute, I guess. And then immediately Jesse goes over to West's room. And he tells West that he feels bad that Sierra's upset. And he feels like he misread the situation and is disappointing himself and saying, oh shit. And West was being really nice to Jesse. And this is the thing that is kind of a disconnect for me because I'm like, obviously West still has feelings for Sierra. And we're seeing that play out on the show. But then when it comes to Jesse, he's also very upset that Jesse wanted to make out with Sierra when he was like, do you mind if I make out with Sierra? And West is like, oh, I don't know what to do. Like, what are? And it's like, I want West to stick up and say, actually, I do mind. And I'm pissed at you. Why are you going after? Even, it's just you're supposed to be his best friend. So like, why are you even entertaining the idea of a romantic daliance with Sierra when it's like, you're West's friend. It's completely inappropriate to me. And I want West to stick up for himself. And he's not doing that. And I'm like, West, speak up. You see something, say something. But anyway, he like sort of consoles Jesse when Jesse walks in the room. He's like, oh, man, I'm like, come on, West, say something. Meanwhile, there's some chefs prepping a man his birthday dinner. And they're all getting super dressed up. And I'm thinking like, oh, they're having like a nice, a nice fancy dinner. But then ultimately they just have like chicken fingers and Caesar salad. And it looked fantastic to me. And they were eating on sort of like kid plates or something. I love this. I'm tired of the theme parties. But I like a themed dinner. And this was to me like my ideal theme dinner for if I was ever my own birthday dinner. It's like Caesar salad with some chicken nuggets. And they had like nice martinis. They were dressed up. They I think there was mac and cheese on the table. It was like kid food, finger food. And that's the kind of food I like. Like give me a chicken finger, a chicken tender all day long. And I'm happy as a clam smack and cheese. That's all I want. I'm not interested in all the fancy. I don't need some like five star thing. Although that's great to sometimes. But for the most part I feel like those fancy dinners it's like I'm not interested in it. I just want some chicken tenders. I just just need some breaded chicken fingers. And that's all I want. And a Caesar salad with I mean if they had diet coke that'd be the perfect meal. Perfect meal. But they had chefs doing it. And I'm thinking like I don't think you need it. Just throw some Tyson nugs in the air fryer and you're good to go. Like I don't know that they need to spend the money. I guess they have a TV show budget. So maybe that's why they did it. But otherwise I was just thinking like go throw salad in a bowl. Some Caesar dressing in a crouton. And then throw some Tyson's in the air fryer. Or those what are those bear or those bear naked those are the nuggets I like the bear. B-A-R-E. That's how you. Or those that they call they taste like Chick-fil-A. But you don't have to feel bad about eating them. And honestly I think now they're better than Chick-fil-A. Last time I had the Chick-fil-A it wasn't even good. It's shit now. Anyway moving on. The chefs preparing a Bailey's excited that Dara's with KJ now. Because Bailey's got the crush on Ben. And so she comes in ready to flirt. And I was hoping I do think that Bailey like she's got this crush on Ben. And obviously blows up in her face. But early in the episode before it blew up in her face I was thinking like girl you need to love yourself. You should go and love yourself girl. Because she's just so over the moon over the top and graduated with this Ben fella. And I like Ben when I first saw him and now as time goes on I'm like okay I've had enough of this man. But she's like so into him and she's like I'm gonna flirt with him now that. Because she at first last week thought that Dara was gonna be with Ben because she thought Dara was flirting with Ben. But then Dara's with KJ now. Which seems great I'm into these two. But Bailey now is like ready to flirt. She's like a hop and on Ben's ready to go with him. And Ben's not even interested. I haven't seen him interested in that one time. And I feel bad for Bailey because here she goes throwing all her eggs in that basket. And he's not even interested. So then they all go to dinner everyone's dress fancy. Kyle's wearing his wedding outfit change. And then even before the dinner starts Amanda takes like a solo photo with Ben. And I just want to point this out because I feel like Bailey ultimately at the end of that episode she has this awkward moment with Ben. And she's saying well like you and Amanda flirt all the time like I was just whatever. And I just want to point out that even before the dinner Amanda I would see that photo doing a solo photo with Ben. That seems flirting to me like why would you I don't I don't trust like the I don't trust it. I think Bailey was right that man and Ben do flirt more so than Ben flirts with the other women in the house. And so I don't think it's like so crazy that Bailey pointed that out at the dinner but we'll get there. Also at the table there were crayons which I love it was like Caesar salad chicken fingers crayons she's turning 34 but I love this child plates. I like it you know my son we started feeding them solids and real foods and all the baby plates. I love them because they suction to the high chair like we all need those guys. Not only that but they have like different spots for they have like different containers on the baby plates. You could put like one like your side dish in one little pocket you put the main meat in the other pocket. It's got like three. And then they suction of the things they can't go anywhere in their silicone. I like I think we should all start doing that. But they start talking at dinner about Carl's bar because you remember last week on the show Ben went over to Carl's soft bar. And Carl's piss the cow didn't invest in the soft bar but Kyle saying he had to invest 500 K to pay the pay roll in lover boy. And I don't quite understand how lover boy is not successful because it's been on this TV show for 100 years. We've had to watch all these people drink it like and look I've never had the lover boy. But it must taste like piss water because how have you had such free advertising and you're not making it successful. I would imagine so many Bravo people have tried it like we've tried everything I had Melissa Gorgl's sprinkle cake. I've had Ramonos Pino Grigia. I've had Kathy Wikele's canole's like Bravo people will pretty much bite the bullet and order anything that these Bravo celebrities try to sell us right like we've had in the past skinny girl ham at one point. Now the skinny girl ham didn't last and the skinny girl deli meat for some reason did not stay on the store shelves for very long. But the point is we've all tried all these Bravo products and lover boy has been consistently on the show. It's the only thing they've been drinking when they're having the theme parties and it's a young audience of people that watch the show. So it's like aren't people trying lover boy like how is it not successful and Kyle's going to put the 500 K to cover the pay roll. But then he says he can't pay a car all 15 K and it's like this is why you should not get into business with friends because look at this. Then it's like a tip for tat thing Carl's like oh well I invested 15 K and the lover boy piss water. And now Kyle's like well I don't have the money to invest in Carl's non-alcohol bar situation that's got to open up in the Brooklyn area. I said Brooklyn area. I don't know but so this is why you shouldn't get in business with friends and so I think it's actually like standard. I think you should just maybe just not invest in it even if you believe in the business. I feel like you should just invest your money. There's plenty other things to believe in. I don't know if it's safe to when your friends first unless you're like sort of a queen says like I understand that but like when you're close friends this is what happens because now you're both holding a grudge about how much you're invested in your flop businesses with your friends. Anyway they go around the table and they say nice things about Amanda and West now I'm looking through every interaction between West and Amanda with the fine tooth gum. I got my monoclon I mean Angela landsbury up in their ass and I'm just thinking what did West say about Amanda and he said since I've known you I've seen you accomplish so many things I just want to watch you do shit. And this is interesting to me because Kyle remember on the show has said like she's unmotivated she's lazy she doesn't do shit. And now here West comes in like prints on horse and says I'm so proud of all the things I've watched you accomplish and Amanda is probably thinking in her head like why is this fella able to say that but my husband's on Candid Gamera saying at the beach and every chance he gets about how lazy at my ass is and how I'm not doing anything I'm smoking weed every night. And so she's probably thinking like how come West can see that I do all this stuff but my own husband the DJ can't even see with his eyes. And so that's interesting to me and then then this is when everything kind of blows up because Ben talks about Amanda's eyes and her smile. And Bailey just blurt's hatched I knew he was going to talk about how we want to fuck Amanda she says something like that I want to how she wants to sleep with Amanda. Which is completely nuts and I love to and this is what's going to get Bailey in a season and so I just want to plot her even though it was unhinged to say that at the table. A I think you were right and B it secured your second season contract and levy needs to take notes or Levi Levi whatever fuck her name is the girl that they edited out which by the way I do I'm sure I've said this on the podcast before. I think like one of my biggest fears is number one being voted out of a reality competition series first so that be number one biggest fear. And second would be to film a whole season of a reality TV show and then to get edited out of it. And it always happens when the people aren't bringing anything and so what's fascinating is over on the real house is Beverly Hills there's a scale. And it isn't named Natalie or something they have this new woman who's on the cast trip they all went to Italy but those women hasn't been given a confessional. She's not saying anything she came in really late in the season I think her name is Natalie yes she's on a cast trip not given a confessional barely given any two words to say in the show and it's like that's such nightmare and the same thing is sort of happening with Levi. I think is she getting confessional somewhere else but she's basically being edited out of the show and I feel bad about that because I'm like thinking oh my god imagine filming this whole season. You think you're going to be a main cast member on a TV show and you go tell people your friends or whatever I'm going to be on the show. The first time I remember it happening was on the real house in New York and there was a woman who was like a party planner and she was like sort of there but then they didn't give her confessional. And she was like supposed to be a main cast member and then they just sort of edit them out and it's just it takes a lot of work to edit out a main cast member on these shows. And yet they do it time and time again and it's like is that happening with Levi that's why Levi needs to she needs to look alive wake up and do something crazy like Bailey's doing at the dinner table because just starts shouting out that people want to sleep with each other at this point because you need to get some camera time Levi you do. But Bailey shuts out yeah Ben wants to fuck Amanda whatever and then Mia was making me laugh because she's like what the hell like she was. I like me I do like me I'm liking all the new people except for I feel bad for Levi but is very awkward very awkward and I do side with Bailey on this I think Bailey is right and that Ben and Amanda have been flirting. So then at the dinner table Kyle gives Amanda some Cartier. I have a lot to say about this cardier first of all we love Cartier and well at first I thought oh great he gave her something but then the card said something to last forever but we have 30 days to swap it out so that was what the card said. And then the editor show us a whole montage of Kyle being not good at giving gifts and in his confession he's like I really struggled I give gifts and it's like well figure it out and then it's revealed later in the episode that like Amanda had told Kyle to get the specific watch that she got from Cartier and she's like I can't believe he like went to the store and got it and it's like oh my God the bar is so fucking low because not only did he just simply go to the store and get the thing that Amanda said. She probably texted him a screenshot or whatever like get me this watch but then he didn't even have like the confidence in his card to say to know that was like he just got the exact thing she told him to get and then in the card says well we can return it after 30 days it's like come on why is the bars so low and not only that it's like we saw that montage all the times that Kyle's been bad at giving a gift and it was like everybody tried to tell him including the editors and production of the show because they're putting together montage of it. They're trying to tell Kyle like hey step your ass up and be better at giving gifts to your wife and yet all he does is go get the thing that she told him it was like not even he couldn't even add anything else to the gift it was like he got the card you watch and granted yes that's an expensive watch I got blessed but there was still zero thought put behind it and even less thought put behind the card because he said you can return it in 30 days so he didn't even think to himself like oh I don't have to write that because she told me to get this exact watch. But couldn't even like add it a balloon to the fucking thing or something or a nice nice something something else that she would like like I just feel like I don't I don't think it's a good excuse like you can say I'm not great at giving gifts but for your loved ones you still have to figure it out like you still have to get him a gift and I just feel like the bar is so low that it's like for all this time he forgets to get her gifts. And then now he finally like steps up and it's just a gift that she told him to get. I was like come on. I was so pissed. He just wanted to store and Amanda calls the mom and she's like Kyle did good. He got me this thing I told him to get and it's like okay well he's still going out and DJ and sleeping at college campuses till the wee hours of the morning and you're getting DMs about him hooking up with other people but God bless that he went to the store and got you the thing that you said hey go get me this. Come on. I get so mad the bar wise the bar so low anyway they're broken up now so I guess that's the silver lining. Let's take break because guess what I'm already on the brim of freaking out on the brim and I need to take a little breather so let's take a break here we're going to come back that's much more just discuss I want to thank a cast and we'll be right back.

Shuffle some more malt eases in because we're still debating a chat name and frankly have more chance of shaving a unicorn in a phone booth than the plans making it out of this group chat. Maltesers look on the lights side we're on June 2029. Okay, so after dinner, Ben is mad at Bailey and I'm glad they're both in the mix but Bailey gets nervous by Ben and. She when he comes in the room, he like is ready to confront her and Ben is worried that everyone thinks he's flirting with Amanda but he's like no it's a friend zone and it's like well actually we've all watched it and it's not only us that think this is like obviously producers due to because they were able to put together so many different moments so far this season. And then a Ben flirting with Amanda so it's not like so Bailey get behind me I need to defend your ass because I think that it Bailey was right in that Ben and Amanda are flirting with each other and I don't think it was yeah maybe it was an inappropriate time to say it but honestly like we're on a TV show and you guys were eating chicken nuggets like I don't think it was should be so. Such a special sacred place that they could have have Bailey mentioned it and Bailey even said later I forget when she said this but she's like if one of the guys did that at the dinner table everyone just laughed it off and Bailey's absolutely fucking right because if Jesse were to say that like oh Amanda Ben just wants to fuck Amanda so that's why you know everybody would be like. You know what I've done the Heather and Terry to bro laugh right in his e or face and that would have been the end of it but instead they're all crucifying Bailey for saying something that all the guys would have been able to get away with and I don't like that. And Ben's like what's going to Ben walks into the Bailey's and what's going on and it was funny because Bailey said you mean in life and then. I love Bailey she's very awkward by lover but Bailey's like look you guys talked about skinny dipping on your first date and she's like you guys joke about it and they even showed a montage of bending Amanda flirting so the editors think that too then Ben leaves the room and Bailey goes in cries in the restroom and I felt bad for Bailey I felt bad. Meanwhile Mia was outside the door listing and she told everyone and so Mia's a star Mia's a star. And Mia and Sierra they were talking about Ben's they just go in in the room and how he's got anger issues and they were like sort of turned on by it and I kind of get that I love that the cardboard cutouts are everywhere. I don't know that they're really it's like a weird sort of wears Waldo to just see like where is Amanda's where's her cut out where's Lindsay's cut out like sometimes they'll be talking like how did how did Carl's cut out get over there you know like behind. The DJ booth like how's this happening they did all have a dance party and I like that. I want to dance with my baby. I like when they do the dance party in the DJ room with all the cardboard cutouts and there's something I find comforting about that. But let's see Levi and Bailey say they did say in the room like because Levi went and comfort and Bailey and they say if Jesse said the comment they would have all laughed and she's right. And Bailey said she's also triggered because she had the relationship with this guy was like an asshole tour and she's like when these men talked to her like that and so I'm signing with Bailey but then all the women do go into the room and comfort Bailey. And the women all go out for the night I thought they were all going to stay and I was like very scared about it. I was very scared that all the gals were going to be like we're not going out but luckily they were like we're leaving you Bailey see a Levi did stay with Bailey and unfortunately. I got I think that was the wrong move I think Levi needs to start establishing relationships outside of this now you do need to have an ally and you do need to have a strong friendship in the group. So I think Levi and Bailey have been trying to be that for each other but Bailey as at least integrating herself more with the other people and leave I needs to do that I'm sorry to say sorry she said she should have left her friend. I do normally would not say that but I do but they all go out there some cell phone footage of them out at night and then three a.m. they come home and I don't know many times I could say but why are we going to places where they can't film and if they can't film anywhere else then we need to start sending them to a new somewhere else. 3 a.m. they come home though Sierra and West are flirting Sierra this was funny to me so West like sort of sits on Sierra and Sierra says that that's West tell tail that he's flirting and it's like. like that's his that's his tell is like if West sits on you then it means that he's flirting with you and like what a strange tell because it wasn't like it didn't seem like a very sexual way it was just like West sort of sitting his his big ass and those large thighs and look what we all want West to sit on our face sure. but I'm kidding I'm kidding but like he wasn't even sitting sexually it was just sort of like I don't know just sort of sit in on our and then Sierra like oh that's that's how I know West is flirting is like West is insane thing. they make Buffalo chicken dip which who doesn't love a buck Buffalo chicken dip I'm sorry I fucking love a Buffalo chicken dip I do I. has been makes a good Buffalo chicken dip he only does it like I'm maybe like on like Super Bowl or something I'll make it like a special occasion. and I'll eat the shit of that I'm like very Midwest when it comes to like an appetizer like that like a Buffalo chicken dip or you know those cocktail meatballs that it's like grape jelly you guys know I'm talking about cocktail meatballs it's very Midwest thing but you throw a bunch of meatballs in a crock pot and you put like grape jelly and chili sauce together and you just let us simmer in there sounds disgusting but let me tell you something I'll eat a whole crock pot full of those cocktail meatballs in one sitting I will. and same with the Buffalo chicken dip like you put that in front of me and I'm good to go I don't care if there's a game on or not I will sit in front of the TV to the days long eating that Buffalo chicken dip. and happy as a clam I like football when it comes to if that means I'm getting some Buffalo chicken dip and point me in the direction of the football game because that's all I need in life. but then meanwhile Kyle and West their drunk and they're talking about how West and Sierra are flirting and this is so many layers because now in real time we're seeing like well West is maybe flirting with Amanda who's Kyle's ex-wife like there's and here we are watching the TV show and West is talking to Kyle about his question Sierra so like what's going on there's layers here but I was also very distracted because Kyle. Kyle you guys guess what he had his shoes on the bed. I'm sorry I can't even focus on what they're talking about West's crush on Sierra whatever. Kyle's got the shoes on the bed I don't care how drunk you are I'm seeing too many shoes on the bed too many dirty hooves on these beds. I saw it a couple weeks ago West or Jesse had the shoes on the bed his dirty hooves on the bed and they're going out to these clubs and I know they're not New York City but you're still going out and these people are coming from New York so I know those shoes have been out in the New York City streets. And so then you're telling me you're coming to this house and you got the shoes on the bed I couldn't I wouldn't be able to sleep if I knew that the shoes were on the bed after going out for the night or wearing them in the city. That was Amanda or anyone and the girls aren't above either because I've seen the gals with the hoops on the bed with the shoes on and I don't think that's appropriate and if I was going in one of those beds and say absolutely not and they all need to learn. Even by the way I said on Southern charm I think it was on Southern charm on one of the episodes I think in the I don't know one of the episodes I saw one of the gals was put in the suitcase on the couch to unload it and I thought what the fuck are you doing what the fuck are you doing the suitcase rolls all through the airport and everything you cannot just put it up on a couch or a bed or something like you leave it by the door and put a towel down take all your clothes out of it and then you 409 that. 409 that's suitcase sass and clean it up before you put it away like you don't not put it on a bed or on a. It's like how are these people raised like these things didn't Phoebe Robinson have a book called don't go on my bed in your outside clothes or something like that. She's fantastic writer so check it out if you haven't but it was something like that I forget the actual name but she named a book after and she was right and she should say it because you shouldn't just be going with your outside clothes on the bed. In here we are and shoes on the bed absolutely not absolutely not anyway they talk about west and Sierra floating which great west says it's like a sunset crush so it's it's not like a breakfast crush or afternoon crush it's like a sunset like they have a crush on each other like after they're drinking all night. Meanwhile Sierra you know Sierra Amanda they're genuine friends and I think more I know I just said Levi should have went out with the others and left her friend Bailey in the house alone but I do think it's important on reality TV like you do need to have one bestie and you need to make a genuine and I'm not just talking about like a show bestie. It need you need to develop a genuine bestie in the in the cast so that you have that ally because it is important for the audience to like the audience needs to know that these people are actually friends even though they are just probably cast on these TV shows together and they when the shows end they're not going to be friends but Sierra Amanda seem like they're genuine friends on and off the show and I think that's important. Meanwhile Kyle and Amanda they start they're in that large closet or bathroom or whatever Kyle this is after 3 a.m. Kyle's like I feel so connected to my wife and she's like thank you for the watch and he's like this feels like when we first met or something and he's saying how great their connection is here and I'm like yeah because you're wasted at 3 a.m. like what that's not a real fucking connection like when you're drunk at 3 a.m. and you're saying like this is how it's supposed to be I'm so glad we have this connection and it's like you don't even are you even going to remember what you're saying right now like that's not the connection that you're supposed to have with your wife where you can only connect to 3 a.m. after drinking and after you give her a expensive watch. that's nuts meanwhile Weston Sierra in the kitchen with that Buffalo chicken dip and West says I don't know how to talk to you. He says something about before and after filming I don't know how and so it's talked to you and I'm just thinking like where's the Buffalo chicken dip like I need to see the recipe it looked to me like that Buffalo chicken dip was made by those chefs that were there that made the chicken fingers and the mac and cheese and they left it there for like their night time drinking and that's nice that's nice of those chefs. You know my family was here recently I think I'm at a told the story on the show but I want to do something special because I had a lot of family here and so I was like looking into hiring a chef or whatever and then a friend told me to hire the Habachi where they come to your house and you do the Habachi and so I did that it was really fun. But the chef you know personal chef for the night is expensive but I always see it on these on these reality shows and that was in my head I thought like oh these reality shows always hire a chef for the night for a fancy dinner and I thought that's what I was going to do but then ultimately I heard the Bachi but I'm curious how much of those I think they're expensive the chef for the night but it's nice that the chefs left the Buffalo chicken dip for them to make anyway I know this very neither here nor there but Sierra and West they have a lot of people here and I'm sure that they are the best. They have a serious conversation and all I was thinking about was the Buffalo chicken dip. I love when new people sometimes listen to the podcast and I think they think that I'm going to be giving like opinions on West and Sierra sometimes and then I just talk about Buffalo chicken dip for 25 minutes and I mean and it's so funny to me because then I'll get messages like I try to listen to your show and you just talk about Buffalo chicken dip for 25 minutes get to the point and it's like well that's what this show is. I'm like no but it does always make me laugh because I think they think that I'm going to be you know giving like some some hard and fast opinion on things that are happening on the show and I'm just like I just want to talk about Buffalo chicken dip like that's what I'm most injured that's where I'm at my life. Anyway welcome to all the new listeners I don't know if anyone is listening but welcome I love you and just buckle up buttercup so next we cut to Saturday morning they're all waking up. West wakes up Jesse with the kiss and he calls him a sweet boy. I like that I like that. Bailey's pissed now though she went to bed upset about how Ben talked her and now she's waking up mad as hell she's mad as hell and so she's ready to give Ben the business. She I don't think she even slept at all that night because I saw a lot of the footage she was awake when they all came in at 3 a.m. She wide awake like fucking Katie Perry in 2010 or whenever that song came out she was wide the fuck awake. And then in the morning time she also seemed wide awake and it seemed like she was just in her head stewing all night and we've all been there by the way. I mean how many when you can't sleep and you're just like sitting there and you're just you're working yourself up in your head. Or I'm sure we all do that thing where it's like you replay conversations that you had and you're like I should have said this or should have said that. I had a meeting recently and I think I had too much diet coke at the meeting but then at nighttime all I was thinking that was like I think I sounded crazy at the meeting like like did I sound crazy and I'm like replaying the conversations in my head. That I had at this meeting was like wait did I sound crazy because I had like an extra diet coke on top of like all the caffeine I had already normally had for that day. And I was just replaying all the conversations from the lunch in my head I'm like did I sound nuts like I hope I didn't sound nuts. And then I was up all night because I was just thinking about the conversation like stewing in my head like why did I say that what did I say that wrong or what you know. And so I think that's what Bailey was doing she was just replaying everything in her head and then she was getting worked up mad about it. She's like I don't want guys I'm not dating speaking to me like that. And so then what else happened. Oh so it's morning time and Jesse goes outside and he notices that they left a bunch of stake out. Oh we left the stake out that was a mistake what a mistake it was to leave the stake out at least we got mashed potatoes. And Jesse he was like thought he was doing like stand up comedy at this point when you saw the stake the stake is out and that was a mistake. And I just know I know he's going to terrorize us with some song on social media about like stake being a mistake or something like that like he was doing the word play and like Jesse enough enough is enough enough is enough Jesse I can't handle it. I'm already on the brim of freaking out. I can't handle just see anymore I just can't everything he says in dozen the show just pisses me off and I don't even know why I don't have much of a reason other than just every time he speaks I think shut the pickup. And that's mean and I maybe that's that's a me issue maybe I need to get over that but every every single time I see him on candy camera and he speaks anything or even sometimes even when he doesn't speak he's just sort of lurking around there like that. That butler from the Adams family. Who is that who am I talking who am I thinking of lurch do you guys know I'm talking about lurch in the Adams family you know he just sort of like lurks around that castle and then opens the doors and he doesn't even speak much sometimes it's like even when Jesse's lurking around that summer house and like just open in the door for someone or something like get the fuck out I don't know why he's like piss me off. That's a me issue that's a me issue meanwhile then they all go to the winery vineyard and Bailey is really awkward she like won't sit near Ben they have disposable cameras and like a digital can somebody had a digital camera everyone's doing the analog everyone's doing everyone's going back to basics like Christina Aguilera and her album back to basics like they all want the people are getting the DVDs and the VHS is again. And I've talked about this on podcast a long time ago but stay show just did a segment on it and I was thinking guess what I've been talking about and everything I kind of for a while now but they're all everyone's going back cuz I see it on the tiktok people are going back to buying VHS players and buying TVs with the VHS players attached and they're just people want to own the physical media and I get that I get that I just bought a glory Estefan CD that's right in the year of our Lord 2026 I bought a glory Estefan CD from 96 or something I don't remember what it was. The whole me thrill me kiss me album. She didn't talk to me was one of my mom's favorite albums and always in the car shoot my mom love glory Estefan as did I and she always would play this album and so I went and I bought the CD because my truck still plays CDs that's right. That's right I still have a truck from 2005 that plays CDs so sometimes I buy the CDs from Amazon and I was like I need to get that glory Estefan it's the one with turn the beat around on. And this song she does called everlasting love and last in love. It's in such a good mood it really does if you haven't listened to glory Estefan's everlasting love. It's a cover the whole albums like covers but it is phenomenal is phenomenal but what was I talking about oh analog so I like buying CDs and I know people by vinyl's now it's like vinyl sales are through the roof. And now CDs are coming back and the youths look at even on summer house they're one just possible cameras and I even for Christmas I got one of those it's called camp. It's like a video camera it's called camps camp snap or something like that video camera and I love it because I could do videos of the of my son and I feel like it's better because you're not you don't get lost in your phone like you're just taking the video and then you're either putting it down or you're continuing to take video. But then you're not like going to check Instagram or something like you can just take the pictures and then you can look at them later it's also more fun because on your phone I feel like you just go look at stuff instantly and there was something really fun even with the disposable cameras I was thinking there's something was so fun about sending it in and then you get the footage back later like you go and pick up the pictures and it's like you don't know what you don't remember the photos that you took that's fun. Remember doing that back in the day you go used to send them off to this place called giant eagle was a grocery store but you could take your photos in there and then you'd go pick them up and you're like I don't remember taking that photo how fun or that photo didn't turn out or I loved it. Let's take one more quick break here and then we're going to come back and we got more to discuss we left the stakeout that was a mistake. When ordinary people take on extraordinary challenges when it's the finale after weeks of competition when it's time to go big or go home. So who do you want to win him good. Classic reason here nothing brings us together like great TV and a TV license could the shoot to watch all TV channels plus BBC I player with all the reality shows you'd love to talk about search TV license together. Here's the new Citroen C3 Aircross the perfect SUV for bears and lovers of the great outdoors.

So ready for a family adventure the new Citroen C3 Aircross for lovers of the wilderness and everyday comfort now with a 1500 pounds electric car grant. So the winery they have the disposable cameras and Kyle's taking a picture of Sierra with the digital camera which is different but Kyle says they called them Ansel Adams in high school and Sierra's like who's the fuck is that you know and I forgot to. To be honest I would love to call out Sierra be like how do you not know that is but I was also like who the fuck is that like did you say any Adams because then I can give you a whole thesis on how important she is to the culture but I couldn't remember and so Adams and Kyle says that people I would call them that because you take good photos or something I don't know but Amy Adams you guys her work will live on forever and we'll remember her long after Angela. Drop dead gorgeous come on Julia and Julia I gotta say Julia and Julia I love that movie is with Marl Street and Amy Adams and Marl plays Julia child and then Amy plays the gal who wrote a blog about Julia child and I feel like Amy's storyline in that gets a lot of bad rap it was a Nora at front film we love Nora. And people don't like the Amy Adams scenes of that movie but I do I do and I just want to come out loud and proud and say it and it is sort of disgusting to me I actually audition for that movie where Amy Adams played a woman who like turns into a dog and did not get the role and I don't think a lot of people saw that movie and I didn't either but I do want other people I think people did it get good reviews I don't know I couldn't see it because I'm not going to say it. I was like I audition for and they didn't give me the role and so now I hold the grudge against it but she had to like act like a dog in it and I just remember thinking like you know no we need stuff for Amy Adams to do we do we just do we need other things. Although people liked it me and I think it was a commentary on I don't know so what do I know I'm still not going to see it. Okay so then Amanda says oh she says to the table she says that now she got the watch out of Kyle so she can leave us as I would be old in with the new she was right she got that watch and I get out of that marriage through the ring. Go to the other ring at the pawn shop get your cash and run baby girl run Amanda run. Get out of there baby girl go to that pot she need to go right to the pawn shop on that ring would you guys keep would you give the ring back if you got divorced to people give it back they get divorced or just a few and the engagement. I would go right to the pawn shop I think if you give me something then I'm keeping it but I wouldn't want I wouldn't want to like look at something and always think of that other person that I got other relationship with so I would go right to pawn stars and I'd say how much you give me for this thing for this wedding band and then you take the money and you rent and you invested in something else something nice bag or purse shoes or something whatever you like I personally would hop on eBay and probably buy some old 90s vintage toys I've been really iron up. Did I tell you for Christmas you know this is I'm sorry if you're a new listener but I need to discuss this for upwards of 45 minutes so for the holiday season I'm right told you I want to start doing the. The houses like I want to do the villages right like I really want to start doing villages but I know that I'm going to like get to addicted to doing the villages and I want to buy too many villages. So anyway recently though I'm like okay this year 2026 this is here I embrace the Christmas holiday village so I'm going to be doing it this year mark my words I'm doing it I'm committing to it and so I've been on eBay lately at night after the baby goes to bed and I'm like okay how am I going to start my Christmas village collection and I decided I really want to do this like 1990s looney tunes. It's on eBay they have like 1996 or eight or whatever they started coming out like these looney tune villages and then this one company that's known for doing the really fancy Christmas villages they also do like a special set every year and they have like a Sesame Street one that they did in the 90s or whatever. And I'm like I need to pull the trigger and buy the Sesame Street one first and then go into the looney tunes and I thought like it'll be like a whole pop culture village of like 90s nostalgia village so I thought that's going to be my entry point into Christmas villages so I don't want to just start with like present day Christmas villages I want to just do all like 90s but like classy 90s like the looney tunes and the Sesame Street one they're like made their classy they're not like plasticky like nice Christmas villages but I'm going to do it. But they're just from the 90s and they're starring like Sylvester and Tweety do you know I'm saying. So I've been on eBay but I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on these because they're very expensive and so every night I go on there and I'm like oh should I buy one of them for this year. And ultimately I haven't yet but I've been eyeing them and I think maybe like come June mid year I think that's when I'm going to pull the trigger because I figured that's when they'll be cheapest online. Anyway what am I talking about I'm sorry to just make you all listen to my journey with Christmas villages. And I know it's I know it's March and you guys don't want to hear about my Christmas village journey but that's where I'm at I'm waiting till June I'm waiting till June. What were we even talking about how did I get to Christmas villages I don't know but I'm buying them oh because leaving leaving so I'd go to the pawn shop get the money and spend it on my Christmas villages that I've been eyeing and by the way for the Christmas villages I just want to also point out like I'm not going to do it I've decided we have this like one window that's got a ledge. And that's why I'm going to put it so it's not a whole lot of space because it's not like we have a huge house or anything but but it's in it's a good enough space that I think it'll be just the perfect. Area to start my Christmas villages and then my hope and also kind of like. I think it'll push me to want to get a bigger home do you know I'm saying because it's like once I start the Christmas villages it's eventually I'm going to run out of room in that small window window area for the window display and so I'm going to need a bigger area to do my Christmas villages and so I figure then that'll be like the push I need to get a bigger home you know the push I need to like make more money and get a bigger house is going to be like my Christmas Village collection because I'm not going to have enough room in the window so that makes sense so it's like that's going to be the reason that I work extra hard so if you see me working hard on a lot of projects coming up just know that it's like in an effort to buy a bigger home to get more space for a Christmas village that's filled with Tasmanian devil and bugs bunny and in Bert Nerny in a Christmas village form make sense okay back to summer house welcome new listeners to this show everything I'm sorry I'm sorry for what I just put you through and you can just if you don't like this podcast just please turn it off don't send me messages don't send me angry messages about how you're pissed about my Christmas Village on a log moving on Sierra and Ben Sierra and Ben talk Sierra said she likes miss a friend and they're they're having a cute friendship he talks about his ex so he said is ex loved him and he froze she is ex said she loved him and he froze and he fucked it up he said it went too fast and then he told her he was going to be doing this show he basically said like I'm going to wait for the summer and I don't want to commit to you and she's like well I'm not going to wait all summer and I thought like don't be a dummy Ben like you like this woman but like you were just putting her on pause because you were going on summer house and it's like you're giving up this I don't know anything about this woman but he says he had feelings for her and basically what he's telling us is like he told her I'm doing a TV show so like fuck off for the summer but if you want to wait around for me that'd be great and she said no and so I'm proud of her she loves herself whoever that this woman is she she does love herself because she said well fuck off I'm not waiting around for you all summer and I hope she found another man because I don't care for this Ben fell anymore and I hope she's watching the summer house and she's thinking I'm glad I dodged that bullet when it comes to Ben do you know I'm saying Sierra does tell him to be honest with her and yeah I just hope she's moved on then we cut to the house they all go back to the home they do beer pong I love beer pong I miss beer pong I miss beer pong I miss playing beer pong and I know I could still do it but I don't know if I have it in me to play beer pong anymore I think I'd be too worried remember back in college I'd play beer pong and it's like that ping pong ball I'm sorry it would get so gross you'd have hair on it it would get fuzz because you're bouncing on table and sometimes that ping pong ball falls on the floor falls goes somewhere else and I don't think I could play anymore because I would just be looking at you know when it lands in the cup you're supposed to drink the beer but because the ping pong ball develops gets fuzz and gets hairs on it and stuff then that goes in the cup that you got a drink out of and I know that's part of the game but I just don't know if I'm in the place of my life where I could do that now where I could drink the beer that's got the hair and the fuzz in it in the lint because I remember the so many times in college even at as a 21 year old I'd be thinking oh what the fuck I'm gonna drink this beer but when you're that age you don't give a flying fuck and now at my current age I don't think I could do that but I want to because I love beer pong it's so fun why can't I just I don't know Syres uh oh we already talked about Syren then talking beer pong KJ says oh this is interesting KJ said he had sex the morning before with Dara and he tells everyone on camera I don't know if I like that about KJ I hope my I'm gonna give KJ the benefit of the job because I am loving him so but I hope that he at least ran that by Dara and said hey I'm gonna talk about it on camera about how we fucked because otherwise I don't think it's appropriate just hop on screen when you're mic'd up and start telling him because he was like kind of bragging about it I did not like that he was bragging about it he was like oh yeah I don't even know if anyone asked him I think he just sort of said like yeah I fucked yesterday morning something like it wasn't a nicer way and I find him very sweet and vulnerable and I'm loving KJ so far but if we're gonna have to see I'm gonna have to see did Dara did she approve that did she approve it I sort of feel like Dara wasn't supposed to be a cast member and then she got in the mix right away and then they're like okay let's micro up for professionals and start bringing her to the house but they show KJ call and Dara a million times he says it's deep they got a deep relationship then we have Weston Ben they go and talk about Syria about how Westo loves her he regrets how everything ended up with Syria he misses her he says Syria knows that he misses her but he doesn't know what to do he seems a little lost with that and then we end this episode with a scene from next week we get a naked Ben Kyle and Amanda talk about his DJing I think and in the previous for next week Kyle tells Amanda like fuck off or something and West is like you can't tell your wife to fuck off so this is another thing that I'm watching with my monocle on and thinking wait West is sticking up for Amanda is this Weston Amanda thing real what do we think I didn't think so I think it seems crazy it seems crazy but then we've also crazy things that happen on Bravo am I wrong a lot of stuff going on in Bravo we lost of course the realist Potomac is over now this season but we got Southern hospitality back whoo if you're not watching you guys need to get to know Emmy you just Emmy deserves an Emmy if you don't know this woman Emmy on the Southern hospitality show she has like an old school reality TV star completely unhinged in the best of ways and Southern hospitality is great it's just want to glad award too because they got a lot of LGBTQ representation on the show and so we like that so it's just a good show by the way it scratches that old vpr itch that the new vpr does not scratch and so I hope more people are if you just like hop in on season two right like if you want to go back of course it encouraged maybe start from the beginning if you can if you have the time but season one sort of a flop so start with season two and then and then go forth and prosper so we got that and what else is coming do we have new shows coming Rhode Island House voices coming soon Atlanta's coming you guys ever good things about Atlanta but I'm talking like not just from not I'm talking I've heard like good things from behind the scenes right like people who were like oh this season's actually good and I always tell you sometimes you hear things and you know people are like oh this is a bad season but then you'll see a lot of promarer like is it bad but with Atlanta House I'm hearing like under the radar kind of like oh it's a good season it's a good season so I'm hopeful and excited about that okay anything else we got to say thank you all so much for listening and I hope um I hope next week on the podcast I'll be able to report back about my watch what happens live episode with Kyle DJ Cook and hopefully it goes well I'm gonna try to get to the bottom of some rumors and I'm gonna have to uh you know get to
