Okay, bitch, let's gossip. Okay, whoa. Okay, what's going on with you first? Hello everyone and welcome to Everything Iconic with me, Danny Palagrino. That was a clip from this week's episode of Summer House. Lindsay Hubbard is back. I was thrilled to see her. I know she didn't get activated that much this episode. We just got to catch up with her on the rooftop at the bar with Sierra and some Jean Shorts and Amanda talking about her husband was sleeping at some fans house which is totally ridiculous and crazy. It was nice to see Hubbard's back. She seems like she's in a great place. She's got Gem of the baby and she's going to be coming to the summer house next week. She says in the episode, she's like, oh, my Gem is going to be with the dad and so I'm going to come to the summer house and party it up. I'm excited to see her. Hopefully she gets activated and I don't know, I feel warm. I mean, thrilled that she's going to be on that spin-off show because there was a time when, of course, she was pregnant last season. We were like, why is she on Summer House? Does it make sense? I'm just thrilled because I've always loved her on the show. I think she's one of our great reality TV stars. To me, she's the East Coast Kristen Doatty on Summer House. She's the type of necessary evil or I don't even know if I want to call her in a necessary evil, but the necessary activation that the show needs. I'm thrilled that she's going to be heading up that in the city spin-off that they're doing or whatever the fact they're calling it with Kyle and Amanda. Although I don't understand exactly how Kyle and Amanda are going to be co-workers on a series going forward. I mean, they'll be thrilling to start the show off that way, but then I'm like, well, what's going to happen? I don't know. I don't know. But it was so good to see her. It's only episode two of the season. I'm loving it so far. Obviously, just two episodes, but I think it's great. Before we get into that, anyone watching the Super Bowl? I just say, I love bad bunnies' performance. I thought it was fantastic. I thought it was a great message and it was just unifying, I thought. Unfortunately, who didn't think that was Jill Zaren. She posted and then deleted this review of the halftime performance and it was totally insane. I hate to say it was insane of her, but it was. It's crazy. I think it just made... I already felt like that ease spin-off they're doing called the Rony Golden Girls Revefector, called Golden Life, which honestly do not respect Rose Blanche, Dorothy and Sophia in that way by using their golden title. But anyway, now I'm even less excited to watch that show. I mean, I don't even need to say it, but Jill Zaren deleted the post, but it was so stupid. I don't want to get on a microphone and call her a dumb shit. So I'll just move on. Let's talk about this week's episode of Summer House. We opened it July 4th. It's nighttime, Kyle's mad at Amanda. The member last week on the show, they weren't even skinny dipping. Amanda had her underwear on. She had a Buzzeron. She wasn't even fully naked with the Bubbies out. She was just in her underwear. As it's pointed out in the episode, they've done this as a house a million times on the show. They even showed a montage of them to happen their bear cabooses in that pool. It's like, why is Kyle all of a sudden mad? He didn't even have a reason for it. He just wasn't feeling it and he said it felt weird. Amanda says he wants her to have fun. He keeps complaining that she's not more fun. But then when she has more fun, she's like not doing it in the right way. There's just obviously so many red flags between these two. Of course, we can say this is something interesting that I've seen come up or I've talked to other friends about this. It's come up. Amanda knew what she was getting into. I just have to point out, yes, of course, she should hate to laugh. But she should obviously never marry that man. We all, as viewers, were saying, what the fuck are you doing? Like, girl. That's why you always need a friend to step in and say, girl, you need someone to step in. I think people maybe have tried throughout the years, see our page. People have pulled Amanda and said, girl, but she still went through the wedding anyway. Unfortunately, we all saw that she shouldn't. I understand that. Last week on the show, it was definitely harder on Kyle about the whole thing. I do think he's going through some sort of midlife crisis going through the DJ thing. He did try to explain it off. We need the money because I'm not taking a cell anymore. I think that's a loadable shit because I do think that there are other ways to make money than the one request that your wife had about your life. Stop going out partying and staying out all late. That late. Kyle found the one that you mean to tell me there's no other way. He could have done plenty of other things. Or let me tell you something. You can also just DJ during the day. Look at Durinda Medley. I just saw she was on the peacock DJing before the Super Bowl. She did it at BravoCon. It's 8 a.m. And so there's ways to DJ where you're not doing it at night time and staying over fans houses till 6 a.m. Okay, Kyle Cook. You're not going to pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. I'm not falling for your bag of bullshit. But I was harder on Kyle and a lot of people were saying, well, you weren't hard on Amanda because Amanda was knowingly got into it. And yes, we've said that for years now. I've said Amanda shouldn't have done that. But now she's getting out of it and I'm here to support Amanda. And so what do they call Amanda Betrula fans or something? What do we call ourselves? I'm not sure. We're just happy for where she's at now. And so yes, was she a big old dumb shit? Saying dumb shit. I always told you guys my aunt Sue, a family friend. She always called everybody a dumb shit. And she was right. She was right. She would just call it. Like, oh, he's a dumb shit. She's a dumb shit. Why are they such a dumb shit? That was like her go to. Everyone's got there. Kind of go to. I always say dummy. But dumb shit is also really good. And so yeah, it was Amanda being a dumb shit when she married Kyle. Yes, of course. And it's Kyle being a dumb shit now by going to DJs and fans sleeping at fans houses. Yes, of course. You know who else I think is a dumb shit and a cush. And I said, say this lovingly, but Jesse Solomon, I don't know what it is this season, but he's really annoying me. And he's not even really barely doing anything. Like he's just sort of there. And for some reason, what is it though? And maybe that's on me. Actually, maybe it. Maybe that's an added to adjustment I need because I told you all I'm like loving west this season. I'm ready to get on board with West. But Jesse, I don't know. I can't last season. He had all that toe second business. And then this season, I'm like, well, he's just sort of there. And he's like wallpaper that's just there. And I don't know why he was this week. I'm like, get him out. Get him out of here. Bring back Andrea or something. Like, what are we? What's Jesse adding to this? Anyway, this week they all get ready. West checks in with KJ. Now KJ says he's better because West keeps checking in on his anxiety. And I like that. KJ said it means so much to him. They're sweet. KJ seems like a sweetie. You know, like a sweetheart, sweetie pie, whatever. I know what the right word you would want to say, but he that's the kind of word that pops in my head. It's like sweetie pie. Like he's a sweetie pie. KJ. I don't know. He seems nice. And I'm going to regret this. I know because I always, anytime I've ever complimented one of the men on the Bravo network, it comes to bite me right in the ass, right in the caboose. Never once. Never once complimented a straight man on Bravo and not regretted it later on when people pull the audio from an episode where I'm complimenting them. It's so certainly I understand that, but I have to be out loud and proud in this moment and say the KJ seems like a sweetheart. He does. So then they all go out. So they've been drinking all day and then in 945 they all go out. And believe it, 945. That's my nightmare. They all go to dinner at 945. So like what time are they eating 1045? Are you kidding me? No, you're going to eat dinner at 1040. That's when they all, again, they were at the house at 945 p.m. P.m. It's more likely for me to eat dinner at 945 a.m. than it is for me to eat dinner at 945 p.m. To be honest with you now with the baby, I'm like asleep by 945. I don't think I'm, the baby goes down at 730 and guess what? Popp is up in the bed shortly thereafter. And I'm falling asleep by 930-ish. It lights out, Danny, because you got to get your rest. But so the fact that they're going out at 945 for dinner, for dinner, it's my nightmare. And then I'm assuming that by the time so they get to the restaurant, sit down, I think at one point a man I got back to the house at like 1145 or something. So that leads me to believe that they were probably eating 1040, 1045. Now I don't even think health wise, it sits on your stomach when you eat that late too. I come to eat that late. Unless it's like a drunk food or something. I'm, why, when did I become such an old man? I used to be funny. I always try to tell my friends like that are single and going out and stuff. I'm like, I used to, once upon a time I was fun. Like it was a very long time ago. It was a very long time ago. But like in my 20s, I used to go out and have a good time. I went to, I spent a couple of years at Ohio University drinking my ass off and going out and having a good time. And then I don't know, but I became an old square. It is what it is. But Ben, at the restaurant we see him, he's Australian, Hathi. He's the Hathi. And Ben is just all the women are flirting with them. And he says he gets uncomfortable because he was raised religious and he doesn't talk sex or anything. And look, we were like that. In my household, I always mentioned, I was sent to get the grade school and stuff. But like sex wasn't something that like we, yeah, nobody was like talking about sex stuff in the house. And it was like everybody got like real square. And I look back on them like, oh yeah, everybody was like so buttoned up about that stuff. And it's like sometimes I, I'm not saying that I wish everybody was just like, I'm not saying that I wish everybody was just like running around and talking about all that stuff. But it's like, there was like a sort of a weird, a puritanical thing. You know, when you're raised religious in that way. So anyway, Kyle says, oh, Kyle's throwing a man down to the bus. First chance he gets right at the restaurant in front of the camera crew and the man. He's saying that Amanda smokes weed every single night. He says every single night. And he says they don't fuck because of it. But here's the thing. I, I got a, I got to say what I'm feeling. And that is, if Amanda is smoking weed every night, in my experience, and I thought, obviously there's different strains of weed, right? There's the kind of, what, Indika's, Indikaouch, they say Indika, Indikaouch because that means you're going to be sleepy, sleepy. And then Sativa is the other one that's like, he gives you like a mind high. And then I think you could do like a hybrid one that's a little bit of both, right? And so I thought with like pretty much no matter which one, you have better sex when you're stoned. Don't you, don't you, in my experience, it's like, doesn't it heighten? So I would think that Amanda, if she was attracted to her husband and actually liked her husband, maybe they'd have better sex. But Kyle's saying they don't fuck because of it and it smells like a frat house. And they show the apartment and I got to be honest. I've seen a lot. And we know Amanda's messy. Do. But when they showed the footage to show that like Kyle's like, I had a, I had a, I had a half my mother in the car to the house and played it. You know, he says that like this. I had a half my mother in the car. That's so messy. It's like a hoarder's apartment. So he set that and then they showed all this like footage, this b-roll montage footage of the apartment. And didn't even see that messy to me. It was like, gather stuff around it and I do know that Amanda's messy. But it didn't seem like that back. Kyle was acting like we were going to go into the apartment. It was going to look like an episode of hoarders and there was going to be like a dead rat in a peanut butter and jelly on the floor. And all I saw was like some lover boy merch, which is his company. It was out of a box. Like some of it was coming out of a box. It's like, maybe you should clean that up. You dumb shit. Like why does Amanda got to clean it up? It's your company. I know she's involved as well. But he was just acting. It was acting. Oh, she's got a man I have. I'm going to come clean it. It's like, well, it maybe you should clean it. Anyway, right as he's throwing her his wife under the bus, she sneaks behind him and she's like, what's going on? And Kyle's like, you're just interested in me. You haven't asked me a question in years. And it's like, what does that have to do with weed? Like he's just grasped. I think, see, okay, this is me being hard on Kyle again. But I feel like he's grasping because he knows he's being a terrible husband and he's blaming her. And so he's like finding a million things wrong. So he's like, it's not clean. She's smoking too much. You haven't asked the question in years. And he said, I want friendship and companionship. I don't know what else to do. I'm putting up smoke signals. And it's like, well, I don't, I feel like Amanda put up smoke signals for you for 10 years or however long you guys have been together and said, stop going out partying, get drunk until 4 in the morning. And you kept doing it, you dumb shit. And so now you're saying, now she finally checked out because you weren't doing it and she was asking you to do. So now finally she checked out. In your like mad at her for checking out, it's like actually she's been putting up the smoke signals forever. She had a fucking bat signal in the sky saying, come save me. And finally she's saved. She saved. Anyway, Amanda is recognizing that other people around filming them. She's like, let's just stop fighting here. So then after the restaurant, there's phone footage of them kind of partying because they can't bring the camera crew in the club. And again, I know I mentioned this a million times last season on the summer house recaps or whatever it was, but I don't understand if they can't film around the Hamptons. Why don't they go rent a summer house somewhere else? Because we're not seeing them go out into the town. So why can't they just be like Jersey Shore family vacation or any other show? And they go somewhere else for the weekend or go on a trip somewhere like why do they have to go to the summer house? Why can't they take even just a cast trip somewhere? Why can't they say, hey, instead of this weekend us going to that house that we've been filming in for 100 fucking years that is dusty and we're all tired of looking at visually? Why can't we just go a weekend to Italy or to somewhere anywhere else? Like why do all the other shows get to take these big cast trips with summer house? It's like they're filming in that dusty house every five fucking seconds. I know there's got to be some room in the budget for them to take a trip somewhere else. So like why can't we film anywhere else? It's like sometimes even when they film on the rooftop in New York, I'm like, thank God, a change of scenery like God bless. Because they at least get a look at something else instead of that house. I'm tired of that house. So and they always say like, oh, you can't get a house anywhere. That's the only house they could find for filming. It's like, okay, well go film somewhere else. Like why do they have to be in that? And I know the concede of the show originally was like, oh, summer house in the Hamptons. Well guess what? The log line has changed in 10 plus years that the show's been on. And so at this point we're watching a woman who has a young child and a married couple in the summer time share. So we're far away from that log line of young 20 somethings parting in the Hamptons every weekend. So we can fucking go somewhere else. Okay, I'm sorry. That was just crazy of me. Did I just get nuts? You're like, I just got my faces like all right. Matt turned on the fan. My face is all red. I don't know. I just got nuts. This is what it is. Sometimes I get passionate about this. I do because I love these shows. And I love the Bravo Network. And I'm just just for filming somewhere else. And I feel bad for these people too because I always go to these events like Bravo Con and stuff. And I'd be so fucking pissed if I was in the cast. And it's like, you go see all your friends from the other Bravo shows and you're talking to them. And it's like next gen is like, oh yeah, we just got back from a trip to the Bahamas or Vegas or where. And it's like the summer house cast is like, oh yeah, we just got done driving ourselves to our shooting location four hours away from our homes. And that's not even luxurious anymore. It's just like some old hat that it's old. The house looks fine, but I'm sick of looking at it. Okay. What else? We're wet at the next day. Oh no, that night Amanda and Sierra come home before midnight. Everyone else is like 1 a.m. or I think TJ and West came home like 4 a.m. Kyle's wasted though. He can't even stand. And I'm just embarrassed. He stumbles into bed with his shoes. And it's just embarrassing to me. I'm sorry to say. But if I was Amanda, I'm glad. Whatever. Good for her. Um, then, uh, yes, West DJs when he gets back at 3 a.m. which made me laugh. And then the next morning Saturday, July 5th. And I like that carl. You know, I'm on carl side this season. I've decided to stand carl. And so, um, what was that? Remember that thing flat Stanley? Do you guys know a flat Stanley? I don't know why when I just pictured Carl in my head, I thought a flat Stanley. And I don't know what the connection is there, but I feel like just as I was saying Carl's name and thinking of him, flat Stanley popped in my head. And I don't know what the correlation is. But I think like don't like psychics. They say to like embrace the premonitions you have, you know, like sometimes that's how psychics are psychics are soothsayers or what do you? I don't know, like a Theresa Caputo or whoever, or they feel like energy and presence. And so I always like think that like if you, if you get an energy or presence in your brain, like you have to embrace it. And just as I said Carl's name, flat Stanley came in my head. And so I don't know what that means exactly, but I, because I'm behind the microphone, I feel like I need to acknowledge it. And so maybe that do they look at what does flat Stanley look like? Like why did that come in my head? I don't know. Anyway, that's not the point. The point is I'm getting a soft track here. I am on Carl's side here this season. I've decided to be behind him. In never more was I more confident in that decision than this next morning on Saturday, July 5th when he woke up the other housemates with the texts that said good morning housemates who wants bagels? Who wants bagels? What a gem. What a gem. Someone, a man texted me asking for one a bagel in the morning when I'm hungover. That is someone I want in my house. And so that's a smart way to get another season because I do think Carl's angling for another season because he's not going to be on that spin-off show. And so he's hoping, he's hoping and praying and wishing was that's wishing and hoping and praying and praying and praying that he's there. What's that song from best ones wedding? Anyway, Carl's wishing and hoping and praying that he's going to get another season contract in the summer house. And this is the best way to do it because if I was one of these newbies, I'd want the old fella who's texting me in the morning asking me want bagels, right? I don't care if he's 45 years old, 20 years older than I am. If he's texting me asking for one a bagel when I'm hungover, give him another contract. So what else? What else? Let's take a break here. I'm going to come back and talk about so much more. So much more Lexi and Bailey or Levi is it, I get confused. It's not like it's Levi and Bailey, right? Why did I write Lexi 100 times in my notes? Anyway, we'll be right back. Alright, so at the start of every year, I tell myself this is the year I finally feel like a grown adult about money. Less where did it all go and more?

We can join me, Dr. Kate Lister, on Betwix the Sheets, the history of Sex, Scandal and Society, and I will take you inside the smutiest and the most shocking worlds that history has to offer. Listen twice a week, every week, a podcast by History Hit. Acast pairs the world's top podcasts, including The High Performance Podcast, Table Man. And the show you're listening to right now. And we're back. Alright, that's actually a clip from the movie Waiting for Guffman, which is one of my all-time favorite movies. It's so fucking funny if you've never seen it. Christopher Gas movie. And the reason I mention it, I used to use that song clip all the time. But I put it back on the sun board because our dear Catherine O'Hara has passed. And I didn't talk about this last week on the show. But I love Toshu's just a brilliant, wonderful, I never met her personally, but she was just so brilliant, everything she did, every single character she did. It was just, obviously, people know she'd speak and best in show and be the juice and home alone, home alone. But Waiting for Guffman is a little bit of a smaller movie. And if you haven't seen it, if you've seen Best in Show and Love, Best in Show, then go watch Waiting for Guffman. I just rewatched it. And it's like less than an hour and a half. And it's about this local theater company. And she's so funny and it as is everybody else. Eugene Levy's in it, Christopher Gas, and it's so parker-pozy, is hilarious in it. And it's just one of the funniest movies of all time. And I just rewatched it because Catherine, of course, passed. And I was like, oh, I don't mean... That was one of the movies in high school. I remember I... Some friends and I discovered it, right? Because it was a small movie and I, one of us rewatched it. I think Best in Show had just come out and we were like, what is this? Like, we were so in love with Best in Show. And then maybe my friend, Judith, or I, we went to the video store and we were waiting for Guffman and then it was like no one else knew what it was. And so we would have friends watch it. And then it almost was like a litmus test. Like, if you thought this was funny, like, were friends, right? Like if you understood this kind of dry, or not even so dry, but this sense of humor, then, you know, we're buddies. We're instantly buddies because you get it. And it just became that. And you know, some people, I know some people don't like that, sort of mock you, men or eight, sense of humor. And I remember I tried to show some friends Best in Show when I was in maybe high school and they didn't get it and that was devastating to me. But anyway, waiting for Guffman, if you've never seen it, go watch it. You're a fox. There's a part where Catherine Harris says, California will be a site for these, where you guys and my friends Michelle. My friend Michelle and I always do it. And we were texting California will be a site for these, where you guys, anyway, okay, back to summer house. And rest in peace, Catherine. What a genius brilliant talent. It's so hard actually with her and Diane, they felt, didn't they feel to the lot of melonials they felt so like our entertainment mothers or pop culture mothers, like we've seen them be mothers and a lot of stuff. And I don't know, they had that warm quality, even a home alone, like without Catherine O'Hare, I don't believe was a parent at the time. I think I was reading, she wasn't a parent when she filmed home alone, but she felt so warm and maternal to McCalli Calkin. And it just, that is one of the things that makes that movie live on forever. Just brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Okay. And I'm going to get to the Saturday, July 5th on summer house. Car wakes everyone else up asking for bagels and goes out and gets some bagels. Levi and Bailey think Carl's a nice sweet baby. And then we see, but they're very attracted to Ben, the hot y'all Australian who was bare-ass in his room. And I want to thank the Bravo editors for that, for giving us a little male caboose, because that's what I tune in here for this, and for this show. I think sometimes you just need to show some bare caboose out of these men. And we've seen, of course, Calki Cooke's bare caboose quite often. And so I'm happy. And by the way, Kyle's got a great bare caboose. Still looks good. I don't know what deal with the devil he made, but he still looks like he's, I don't, 29 years old or something. Like Kyle is aging impeccably well, impeccably well. And he goes for a run. And I don't understand how he can come back strong. There was one point where I think he said he didn't eat carbs. And it's like, is that the secret? Like, I feel like he's drinking vampire blood or something, because he looks so young. He's got great head of hair. And he's obviously, I mean, he's been filming this show forever. It's not like he got went to Turkey and got the transplant. He did. It seems like it's his natural head of blonde hair, beautiful head of hair for 45 or however old he is. And looks, skin looks phenomenal. Like, no offense. Obviously, we're on Carl's side. No offense to Carl, but there was this one scene in like Carl's house where Kyle looked like 20 years younger than Carl. And Carl's actually younger, which no shade to Carl's, it's just because Kyle, I mean, maybe a little. Carl looks great. Carl's healthy and we're happy for him. But Kyle looks like 20 years younger. And I'm like, how is this happening? I don't think I'd want to film next Kyle because he looks like that. I would say like, no, I'm not doing it. They cast me on summer house ever. I'd be like, I'm not going to film with Kyle because I don't want to look on Jury's older than him. Anyway, what else? Amanda leaves Kyle's room. Do you see anyone else feel like maybe they were broken up? And now, here's my conspiracy theory. I think they were broken up and pretty much, pretty much broken up before they started filming this season. Kyle, been off DJing. Maybe they were sort of living separate lives. I knew they were breaking up or sort of saving it for the show. And then they didn't realize that they would also have to sleep in the same room. And so now we're watching them on camera like sleep in the same room together. But I think they were already maybe broken up or at least like definitely checked out of the room. And so then imagine like for work, for a paycheck, like you have to sleep in the same bed as your ex and like not in a fun, like you're not having sex. Like you're just miserable with each other. That's what I think we're watching. And I'm kind of really into it. And if I was one of these other people who came to the house and thought I was like going to do a summer of just like party and drinking with friends and then like had to listen to this married couple fight all the time, I think I would be devastated. But as a viewer enjoying the drama, I'm into it. I am. Now Kyle says he hates the energy of everyone. And I think he goes for a run. So that's another reason why it's like for him to be able to get up and go for a run after being so drunk. But he's like mad that everyone just like doesn't like kiss his ass, I guess. I don't know. Sierra meanwhile is still turned on by Wes because he hired those animals. And you've already know how to feel about the goats. But then Carl walks in with the bagels. He's like, hello, bagels are here. I mean, what a gem. What a gem walking in with the bagels and then and let me know they're here. And he got like, he said he's like, I got all sorts of bagels. He's like, I got someone sauce, a chicken cheese, some bacon, a chicken cheese. I got some Chris Sans. He's got, he, I don't forget what he said, but he came in with all sorts of stuff. And here's why I think that deserves extra praise because he not only texted the house and like, who wants bagels? So then everybody of course, roams like I would, I would, I would. So not only did he provide ever, I'm sure somebody could have texted if, if one of that, if KJ would have texted said, can you get me an everything bagel with cream cheese? I'm sure Carl did that. But then he also came back with like also, he said when he walked back in the house like, I got some with sausage, some with bacon, I got it this and of that. And I thought that's, that's actually true character coming through because he came with options. Yeah, he came with options. Meanwhile, the next day is it, I don't know, it's levy, right? Levy, levy, Levi? No, no, it's not like I kept, they had a Bailey and Alexi on the show and now they have a Bailey and a Levi on the show. And it's a mind fuck. And maybe they need to start cast of people new names or something. I don't know or change their names. Do you guys see the new trailer for the Rhode Island Housewives? I think it looks fantastic. And Dolores is going to be on there, but all the cast members look like Dolores too from the rails in New Jersey. And I've seen a lot of people say like they don't, how are we going to tell these people apart? And of course back in the day, it's not like city house, we had Meredith and Lisa, it looked like they, they were exactly before the show started, we were like, how are we going to tell them apart? And then now it's like they're so different. By the way, there are these, there was a rumor online that Meredith is not returning to the Salt Lake City Housewives, but I think that was like a fake post. It wasn't a real thing. So I just have to point that out. Although I am hearing rumors that there might be a shake up on Salt Lake. And that's not the point. The point is we couldn't tell Lisa and Meredith apart at the beginning, but now I'm looking at the Rhode Island cast and like who the fuck are all these people. And you know on that show the MTV the challenge, there's a lot of cast members on that. And they make them wear these t-shirts with their names on the back, like Jersey is basically. I guess that's supposed that's what they're called. But anyway, they have to wear their names on it. And I'm like, I wish the Rhode Island House says I know they can't refill them it, but maybe if there is a way to like sort of CGI, Jersey's on them so we could tell. I think that would be helpful. And I know they've never done that before, so this would be a new frontier. And I'm not saying AI, I'm saying like let's get some animators in there. I was really bleaked out by the whole Super Bowl commercials or some new commercials for like AI and stuff. And I'm like, what is going on in this world? Also the Olympics, I don't know, I saw like an Olympics AI thing. And I'm like, don't they have enough money to like pay an animator? I don't know. I don't know. Anyway, moving on, Levy Levi has a mark on her face from the goat. Guys, remember she was like letting the goat all eat all over her. You could be careful too. You never know what you could get from the goats. Like I don't know that I'd want some like goat that came in just like eating off me. It's like I know Levi's the young gal, but maybe she needs to be careful. I'm even like to go try on a hat at a hat store because the lights let alone let a goat eat off me. Let a goat eat off my face and rub his hoo's all over me while I'm enjoying a day in the summer house. Like there's no way Levi like you need a care folks. You just you could guess what? That was your first weekend, Levi. And if you get some sort of goat issue, like you had a little scratch on your face, but if you were to get some sort of goat disease or something, then you're fucked. And your contract's down the toilet because they're not going to hire you back. If you got, I know a rash all over your face from the goat that you let lick your face or whole first weekend. The producers are going to say, guess what? You're not coming to the house this week because the audience isn't going to want to watch your rash go to face. Yeah, I hate to say it, but you know, she's it's because she's making the choice herself. I'm just trying to help her out and you never know what these animals you got to be careful. And justice for the goat too. I don't want them in there. I don't want them in. I don't want them to fill me in a bravo anymore. Okay, so then back in the city, we see KJ skateboarding. Ben is talking about plant, which is hot. I don't know Ben last year. You know, I just love him. And I'm going to regret that. I know I'm going to regret that. You guys know that. I know that. We all know that. We're going to regret that. They're portraying him like he's so sweet and all that stuff and they're showing us hot bear ass and everybody's flirting with him and we're all going to regret it like an avenge eventually like maybe a season or two. And then we see Lindsey Sierra and Amanda go to the rooftop bar. And I mentioned Sierra's gene shorts and those are in stock. Those were in style. I don't know if they still there's were in style. So I know I was hating on them, but they were actually very, I think in trend. What I don't know was in trend was hub's house, a hub's horse shirt. I don't know what that was. It was just a shirt with a horse on it. And God bless. She's beautiful. You know, it doesn't make it matter. She could wear the fuck she was. She's a beautiful gal and wear a horse shirt. And she's a new mom. So you grab whatever. Actually, you know what? Now I'm kind of liking the horse shirt. It's reminding me of Michelle Fyfe and one fine day. One of my all time favorite rom coms. If you've never seen one fine day with her in George Clooney, there's a dinosaur shirt that reminds me of the horse shirt that Lindsey was wearing in the scene. So you know what? We love it. We love the horse shirt. She says though she's raised, she's raising Gemma alone or you know, she asked, I don't know if I'm saying that right, but she's not with the Gemma's dad. And she says she's like, I can raise this baby. I've had a raise so many man babies throughout my time. She's like, I was born to be a mother. And I'm just happy for her. I mean, she seems happy. She says Kyle called her to unload about Amanda. And he's like, feels alone in the relationship. And Amanda's like, well, look, the two things that I've asked for for years to change is it's drinking and going out and he decided to become a DJ. And then Amanda says she gets constant DMs about how drunk Kyle was. He fell asleep at a man's, came home at 6.30 in the morning. And Sierra says like, that's fucking insane. That is fucking insane. And look, I don't know how she could have even got, I don't know how she could have gotten at this point. Like, for that to happen one time, it's like, okay, but then it seems like this has been constant for years. And to just live where you're getting 100 DMs from people saying like, hey, your husband's like, asleep on my couch. I'd be like, okay, like call up the divorce attorney. Like what are we doing here? Why did it take so? If anything, I'm actually turning on Amanda because I'm thinking why did it take her so long? Like, how? Don't be such a dumb shit. Ladies, if you're out there or gentlemen, whoever, if you're, don't be such a dumb shit. Listen to Aunt Sue. Listen to Aunt Sue. Don't be a dumb shit. Just when you're doing something stupid and we all do dumb things. Like we all put ourselves in positions which shouldn't be everybody's flawed. Everybody's doing dumb shit things. But sometimes we all just need to think of Aunt Sue and think like, am I being a dumb shit? And then go forth with that knowledge. Do you get what I'm saying? Okay, then Bailey. So they're all in the city. Bailey, we see her interviewing a young gal on the street and she's got an online show called, you got a girl or what is it? Good. No, it's called it girl. It girl. Girl? Yes, that's right. It's called it girl. And I love the name it girl for a show. Girl? I am into it and she's just going people on the street. She said, it's an online show for online gals and she says her ex hated her success. And I was screaming good for you. Girl? You eat girl. But I did have some questions about the show itself. Now it girl, I guess she goes out to be upon the street and she said she wants to be like MTV run up to people on the street. And online show for online girls, she says let's bring back fashion TV. And so she said she was seeing a lot of people on content creators go up to people on the street. But then they'd be interviewing someone that was like a very successful entrepreneur girl and fashionista and they would just be asking like basic questions, not get into the nitty-gritty. And so I'm happy for her for being a journalist. However, she says to the woman that she's interviewing, I'm assuming this isn't a scripted thing, right? It's like going up to people. But she knows who she's going up to on the street. So it's not like she's running up to strangers. It's not like an ambush makeover, which she knows my biggest nightmare is being doing an ambush makeover. You know at night sometimes when I put the baby to bed, I go up to my bed and I watch YouTube videos of the Rosio Donald show. And it's how I unwind. Anyway, the point is I was watching the episode the other day and they did, they used to have one of the guys on there. Do they ambush makeovers? And the way they would do it was they would do the, they would go to the audience, Rosio would be like, okay, for our makeover today, we're picking someone from the audience. And so then the camera would go to the audience and it would just sort of like go amongst the crowd and then it would stop on someone. And it would stop on someone who like definitely needed to makeover. But it was like, imagine just go into the audience of the Rosio Donald show. And you're sitting there, you come in from Ohio and you're sitting down, you're having a gale time watching some Broadway people, John McDee and the McDLT's on the ones and twos. And all of a sudden the camera goes on the crowd and then it stops on you and it's like, you're getting a makeover. Now, what I assume happens is that the people in the audience had to like sign up and say I would like to be involved in that. But the way they present it is like the camera just stops on someone and then Rosie calls him down at the stage and it's like, okay, you're going to go off at the beginning of the show and then at the end of the show, we'll check in and we'll see how your makeover went with the with the gay man. I forget his name. I'm who's going to give you a big old makeover. And the makeover always turned out good. But it was I always just think like really like or I think Kathleen Hoda used to do the ambush makeover. And I just think it's so would be the worst. Like you think you show up somewhere and you're like, I look good today. And then all of a sudden the camera stops on you and it's like, you're getting a makeover. I'd be like, oh, fuck, like I picked them off. Anyway. What did we, what were we saying that for? I don't know what we were talking about that for. Oh, Bailey and the it girl. Girl. So then she is talking the scale. And afterwards we see at the end of the scene, Bailey says to this woman, she said, girl, you nailed it in one take. You're professional. And I thought, what do you mean one take? Like when you interview someone, you don't get multiple, you don't do multiple takes. Like I was on her side thinking like, oh, she's doing real journalism work. But then she tells the woman she interviewed like you nailed it in one take. I'm like, what do you, what the fuck do you mean one take? You're just asking this woman questions on the street. And imagine we don't just redo. We just don't redo it. Anyway, then we cut to water car, uh, car, watering a plant with the McKenzie child's teapot. $170 teapot car all got at this house. Was that Lindsay's teapot? And you just like, did you notice this? I just need everybody to pay attention that he got a McKenzie child's teapot. It wasn't a, it wasn't a plant. Um, what do they call it? A plant or water, water, water pot? What do they call it when you water a plant? I feel like such an idiot. Why am I so stupid today? But anyway, it was the McKenzie child's teapot. Is it child or child's? I looked it up. $107 teapot. It was just water and one of them plants with. And then I got pissed off because you know, I'm obsessed with Carl in the season and Kyle arrives and Kyle arrives with a nice coffee and Carl says to Kyle, like, hey, you want anything to drink? Like he welcomes him. Welcome's into the home. And Kyle says, no, I'm going to, nah, I'm going to stop for coffee on the way. I should ask if you wanted anything. It's like, yeah, no shit. No shit. You should ask if you want anything. You come over to my apartment or my house and you stop at get a coffee beforehand. The very least you do is text and say, do you want anything? Now, if that happens to me, I will usually say no. Like I had coffee. I'm very regimented with my coffee, but it's just a polite thing to do. You say, hey, I'm stopping here. Do you want anything? I'll bring it over. And the fact that Kyle didn't tell me everything I need to know about that man. But Kyle says he feels bad about talking shit on Amanda. He says under a lover boy pressure, he doesn't take his salary. So the DJ who is to pay the bills, no salary since October, declining sales. Kyle says he feels bad. I was sort of distracted by Kyle's crazy slippers. But you know what? Maybe these supporters hooves, I don't know. Then we cut to Friday. The whole gang goes to the summer house. We got new outdoor furniture. Amanda says they had no conversation about last weekend, her and Kyle. And it's like, what the fuck? When you meet me, you guys never talked about how you were fighting on the camera the whole last weekend of the show. Like that's crazy. That's another reason why I'm like, oh, they're not even together. I just don't even, I think they're just like, we're holding on to this relationship for the show, for the camera crew, to pick up their dissolution. Because something's not adding up to me. What do you mean you spent the whole week in the city together? And by the way, I don't even, I can understand Kyle DJ, but there's no way he's DJing seven nights a week. Like during the, I'm sure there's like a Monday or Tuesday in there where he's not going to DJ somewhere. So what do you mean you just never talk to each other in the home? I don't even think Amanda's probably at the home. Sierra brings a new friend though, Mia. She's a realtor. She worked then also maybe worked at a sex club. I don't know. She said something about like, I was a realtor, but then I worked at the sex club. And I was like, sex club, huh? What? I need to hear more about that. I like to give her a few shiny pennies for her thoughts on the sex club because they seem to brush past it really quick. But she says she likes everyone. She says she's different than Sierra because Sierra don't like nobody. And Mia is like, I like everybody. And I like that sometimes it's opposite to tracked. And that's a, you know, they seem like they could be a fun duo in that way. Like Mia seems like so, so like sweet and everything. And then Sierra is like the opposite. And I like that. I like that. But they decide to pair up to cook some pasta and chicken. Sierra gives Mia a Jesse's room. And honestly, I almost wish the producers would have had a Jesse Solomon exit stage left. I don't know that we need him. I don't, I'm not into him this season. What is that about? Why am I so mad at Jesse Solomon this season? I don't even know. I don't have a reason. I need a, maybe I need to like get over this because something's about every time I see Jesse when they gave Mia Jesse's room, I was like, Hallelujah! Thank God! Get him out of here. Anyway, Sierra and Mia are cooking spas and chicken cutlets and salad. And I love a chicken cutlet. And they were pounding the chicken too. They were doing it right. And I was proud of them because when they said, we're going to do chicken cutlets. I was like, uh-uh. I was like, uh-uh. I'm a tailiant. And so I was, you bet your bottom dollar that I was watching that screen. They can, how are they going to do them chicken cutlets. And I didn't see everything, I didn't see other seasonum and everything. But I trusted it well because I saw at one point, Sierra had the hammer, she was pounding that meat. And I thought, okay, okay, I trust that it's going to be okay. I trust it. I felt like they were, they did it right. And then the boys tell a story about Kyle falling on his face and leaving his credit card at the bar last weekend. And Kyle was like, it was a long day of drinking. I wasn't in a great place. It's like, okay, like, why are you getting so drunk all the time? Like, this is, you know, look inward. Your wife is begging you not to and you are just coming back. And again, I think I mentioned this, but he did come back to the house and like, go on the bed with his shoes on. And Amanda says, West is like, well, I've had rough nights like that. And Amanda is like, yeah, are you married? And then Kyle's like, I don't understand, I'm doing so wrong. And it's like, Kyle, how's he, it's like he's married to a cactus. I feel bad for the newbies. Just having to listen to this marriage trouble all the time. Levy or whatever her name is, it's just normal. And it's like, unfortunately for this show it is. But imagine just, you want to have fun time at the summer house? Let's take one more quick break here. And then we're going to come back and we got more to discuss. The beautiful scene between Sierra and KJ. I loved it. Okay, bitch, let's gossip. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Acast recommends. Fancy a trip inside a Roman brothel or sneaking into a 17th century which trial perhaps. We can join me, Dr. Kate Lister, on betwixt the sheets, the history of sex, scandal and society. And I will take you inside the smutiest and the most shocking worlds that history has to offer. Listen twice a week, every week, a podcast by History Hit. Acast pairs the world's top podcasts, including the high performance podcast, table manners. And the show you're listening to right now. And we're back. Girl, did I mention thank you to Acast? Thank you to Acast. And you can get stuff at everythingiconac.store. We have merch available. I should also mention that. We have t-shirts and some hats left. You get signed copies of my books. Everythingiconac.store. Okay, so then Sierra and KJ have this beautiful conversation about their child. And Sierra opens up and they show some adorable photos of her as a youth. And she grew up, she says in an all white area, KJ's mom is 55. Sierra says her mom is 64. And Sierra says she feels it's pressured to take care of her parents. And it is hard. I find it. I find that one of the big challenges of getting older that I didn't anticipate was, and my parents are still pretty young and vibrant. But it's different than, growing up, I always thought of my parents as like invincible. I thought they were superheroes, just like so strong and tough. And then as you get older and they start to have like certain, there's been times they've had health issues and stuff. And there's things, you know, we don't go and all that on the show on the podcast. But over the last handful of years, it's like things, health stuff comes up. And you start to notice, it's devastating to me. I don't know. And yeah, anyway, I thought that conversation was really interesting. And I think that would be something interesting to hear them all talk about is like, what it's like watching your parents get a little older because I think the millennial experience is like kind of going through that right now. And Sierra is a little, is she considered a millennial? I don't know, Kyle certainly is a older millennial slash Gen X and Carl millennial, Lindy millennial. I think that's an interesting conversation to have is like watching those people that raised you kind of start to get older. But they have a nice conversation, KG and Sierra. Sierra's parents divorced when she was five. She says she always, there was always turmoil and she doesn't want to recreate that. She says she's tough. And she gets really emotional. And every time Sierra gets emotional, it's so nice to see her open up in that way. And to learn a little bit about her history and stuff because she's been on the show forever. I like when they, we learn new things about their childhood and informs on how they are now. And Sierra says she's trying to be less rigid this summer, which I think is one of the reasons why she's being a little bit lighter on West. But she wants family with, or she wants relationships with her family. And also she says the idiots in the house, she calls them the idiots in the house. And I like that. Then they all have dinner outside. Kyle starts to give a toast and then starts apologizing for his spiral last weekend. And they're all laughing because it's an awkward time to apologize everyone. And Kyle snaps at Sierra for talking over him. And he's like out of respect for my marriage and my wife. I apologize for airing the dirty laundry. And then Amanda's like, well, this apology should have been given to me directly. It doesn't need to be given to the whole table. And Amanda's right because again, this is a summer house where everyone's there to party and these new people are there. Although the people, I understand the whole show is about getting vulnerable and everything. And it's like, yeah, maybe you don't need to air your marriage, dirty laundry to the whole table. You know? And then Kyle gets busy. He gets up from his chair. He pushes the chair out, stands up. It's all very awkward. And he's like, it'd be great if people were respectful. Sierra. And then he's mad because Sierra was laughing at him. He's so fragile that Sierra's laughing at him. He gets so mad if the young guys are laughing at him. It's like, well, don't go to summer house with people over a decade younger than you who want a party and get mad at them when they're upset that you're just talking about the problems in your marriage at the dinner table. It's like, maybe that's the issue, Kyle. And so if you're coming to the summer house for a party, then they're of course going to laugh at you when you're bringing up your marriage issues. The first thing a dinner emits the toast. If anything, he needs to be more like during the medley and give a toast like that. Remember when she gave a toast to Countess Leuandellus before she married that demon, Tom? And she said, blessings, and the blessings. That's the kind of toast you should be giving at the summer house. Listen to Durrinda. Once again, Durrinda's rage, though at Jill Zarein. Remember she was rageful at Jill Zarein on the ultimate girls trip? Once again, I have to say Durrinda's rage was ahead of its time. And I'm happy Durrinda's not going to be on that Florida show with the running women. Right, Kyle says he's mad at the serious laughing at him. So he runs inside, slams the door, a picture falls. That's the end of the episode. Next time everyone's watching Kyle and Amanda fight again, or I guess they're fighting, talking on the beach. Summer house. Summer house. Girl. Hopefully we get to see more of that It Girl series. Is that what you call it? It Girl? It Girl. Girl. Okay, thank you all so much for listening. And find me on social media at Danny Palakrino. And again, go to everything.connect.store or you get my books wherever books are so it's all I just announced. I'm in progress or that's not the right term. I'm in route to my new book, which is tentatively called Just My Lock. That's the working title, but it'll be out next year. And so I'm going to be working with Abrams. I've been working on the book for a while now and I think I might have mentioned in passing, but it's official now, the contract signed and everything so I can more openly talk about it. But I've been working on the book and it's going to be really good. And if you've gotten my other books, I think and hope you're going to like this one. But it won't be out until next year because publishing takes forever. There's like a million things and you kind of, you write a draft and then you get notes on the draft and then you go back and rewrite the thing. And so there's a million steps to it. But the first draft of it is just about done and I'm about to turn into my editor next month. And I'm so proud of that. I think it's so funny and I'm really excited about it. And I'll keep writing until it'll be out next year, but I'll be writing more for it as well. But I'm excited for you guys to read it. And that'll be out next year. And Abrams says who I'm publishing with and I'm working with the same editor I worked with on my other two books, Kate Radey, who's the best. And so and she lets me, the great thing about it is she lets me just kind of creatively go loose with that and that's very rare in any type of entertainment stuff is like someone just trust your creative because oftentimes, you know, I've had other offers throughout the years to like write books where they said, we want you to write this kind of book or that kind of book. And I'm like, no, I want to be able to creatively be in control of it. And my editor is so great about that and like trusting me. And I was a ghost writer before and when you're a ghost writer, you have to, you're writing in someone else's voice. And so as a creative, it can be really stifling. And so it's so extra incredible to be able to write my first two books and now this one and to just be able to be in creative control of it. And I'm so proud of the first two books that I published. How do I remember this in Jolly's Bunch, which were both best sellers and now to get to do this one and talk about parenting and all of the sort of crazy stories that are involved in parenting and becoming a parent and all that kind of stuff. It's going to be really fun and hopefully you guys enjoy it. So I'll let you know when the prior, it's not like you could pre-order anything yet because it's still a little ways away. But it'll be coming next year and just know that I'm hard at work on it and I want to, my goal is to deliver as good of, if not better, of a book than my other two. So that's what I'm working on now among other things. So thank you all so much for listening to the podcast and we'll be back next week. I'm not doing a Trader's Recap this week because I have some family coming to town to spend some time with Matt and I and the baby in. So there won't be no Trader's Recap. I don't think this week, but we'll catch up next week. I know I've been telling everybody those Trader's Recap said I'm doing on everything iconic or sort of like bonus episodes. So I'm trying to do them as much as I can. But we'll still be doing the Bravo. It will be a new episode of Everything on Honek every week with the Bravo Recaps and I'm obviously covering Summer House. But the Traders, I'm going to keep up as much as I can. But if you're not watching, Traders is fantastic the season I think. So that's all. Love you all so much for listening and we'll be back next week with the Summer House Recap. And then we have some new shows coming soon, which I'm excited about. We have Southern House fatalities coming up soon. And what else? And Rhode Island House, as I mentioned, they're trailers out, which I think looks great. So, that going on. Love you all for back. Love you all so much for listening and we'll be back next week with the Summer House Recap. Okay, I get the point. Let's see.
