Prime Video offers the best in entertainment. The end of the world continues with the season 2 of Fallout. A worldwide phenomenon, inbegreed by Prime. I heard you about what to do in this situation. Look at the epic end of the unwritten story of The Witches of Oz. Buy or buy? Wicked for good now. I'm taking you to see The Wizard. There's no going back. So whatever you want to look, Prime Video. Here you look at everything. Prime is a good idea, especially to buy or buy. Inhoud can advertise 18+. All the rules are of use. How do you explain the shit you didn't grin in the picture? The guy who was taking my picture, you know, he was really nice. Okay. And he was like, give me another look. And give me another, like he was playing around with me because he knew it was heavy. I was crying in there. I was sad. So he was just like, I know this is, he was trying to do it. Cheer me up. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Everything Iconic with me, Danny Pellecrino. That was a clip from part one of The Real Housewives of the Potomac Reunion. I'm not going to get too deep into the Potomac Reunion. However, off the bat, I do just have to say, I think this cast is phenomenal. And I was waiting until the reunion. I know we're only into part one of three of the reunion. But I was waiting for the reunion to really definitively say whether or not I think that Angel should come back. and after part one of the reunion, I can definitively say that, yes, I do think Angel needs to come back for another season. That's right. I know she wasn't arrested or has some flashy story or whatever, but I do need Angel to come back and I'm willing to fight for it. I don't know what I have to do. I'm sure a lot of people out there are saying, Danny, absolutely not. We don't need Angel back. She doesn't fit in with the group. She's a mess, perhaps a grifter. Who knows? Who's to say? But I'm willing to argue and fight on Angel's behalf. So get behind me, Angel. I'm ready to come to bat for you. I saw what you can do for this show. And I need the hilariousness of Angel. I need to see her with the Grand Dame. I'm excited for whenever the Grand Dame comes into the reunion to see how Angel reacts with her. And yes, all that Wendy stuff is interesting. Although I do have a lot of questions. First of all, the person at the at the clink who was taking her jail photo, what do they call it? A mugshot. I don't understand what she was saying. Like they had a glamour shot, a glamour shoot, because she said the person could see that she was upset. And it's like, yeah, well, you should be upset. Like, isn't someone who takes pictures for mugshots, shouldn't they recognize that everybody that's getting a mugshot is going to be upset? So what does that person, are they just running at like a Sears portrait studio over there? I don't know what, at the Potomac County clink, like what is happening over there? I'm not saying we need to fire this person I'm just saying like yes everybody should be upset when they're getting a mug shot taken like I understand anybody's going to be crying or at least have a down face when they're or a sad face when they're getting their mug shot taken and so I don't know that we need to be doing glamour shots what's next are they going to be putting one of those 90s backgrounds behind them in their mug shot you know with the stars and the shooting lasers remember you used to take those when we'd do a school photo shoot in the 90s or giving them props. Like, what are we going to do, prop work next time one of the Potomac housewives get arrested for fraud or insurance fraud or drinking and driving? I don't know what they're all getting arrested for, but I don't think we need to be doing glamour shots. And so I'm happy that Wendy got a smiley mugshot out of it, but I didn't quite understand that. I also don't even understand, at the beginning of the reunion, and we're going to move on to Summer House in a minute, so just fast forward if you're not interested in Potomac, but at the beginning, before we even got to the reunion this week, we did have this scene between Wendy and Eddie and they detail a little bit of the arrest and say Wendy said she was asleep and then Eddie came and was like, hey, police are here. And so Wendy woke up and then luckily I guess the kids were, what did she say, out of the house or upstairs? I don't remember where they were. That's not the point. The point is, I thought we were going to get answers as to whether, were they just acknowledging that they were guilty? Are we all acknowledging that they were guilty at this point? I'm a little confused about where we're supposed to stand on that. Because maybe I missed something. Perhaps, obviously, things come in and out of my head. I might have missed something. But I sort of felt like they were all just acknowledging, like, yeah, this happened. They did these fraudulent things. And now we're going to have to deal with the consequences of that. Is that how everybody else took it? Or are we still pretending like it, or is she still pretending like these things didn't happen? I don't know. But I love, Wendy had a great season. She had a great season. So, do I want her to go to the clink? Not right now. I need a show. We got to put on a show. And so, I don't know, maybe that person who's running the mugshots, maybe they can put in a word with the judge over there in Potomac and say, look, there's enough awful people running around that we don't need to put Wendy and Eddie in the clink. Let's arrest some of these other people. There's a lot of other stuff going on. I don't want to get into the details and the nitty gritty of what's happening culturally, but I'm sure there's plenty of other people that we can arrest. And right now we might need Dr. Wendy for entertainment purposes. And so if that mugshot photographer can maybe work their magic, his or her magic, and just maybe talk to the judge and say, hey, Wendy needs to do another season. Or at least like let's put her in the cling in the off season or something. I don't know. But I don't really quite understand what they did. And I know Andy at one point, he like was asking a question and I hate how they do this. I knew they were going to do this. It was like part one of the reunion. Andy's asking some questions about the mugshot or whatever. And then right when I'm thinking he's going to ask like, so did you do these things? Which I'm a little unclear still of what these things were. I'm assuming it's like insurance fraud. I think Ashley at the end of the episode said something about having multiple social security numbers. So look, I guess there's multiple identities happening. But so, okay. Well, okay. So we, so she has a couple passports. Is that the worst thing? So it has a couple passports and stole some money from the U.S. government. So what? In the words of Joy Behar, so what? Who cares? Obviously, like we, I'm just thinking of it like of all the things going on. Like, is that the worst thing? I don't know. and I know people aren't going to yell at me. It's like, Danny, you got to lock her up or whatever. And I was like, yeah, maybe so. But I'm just saying there's people who are doing worse things that we're not talking about. Okay. But so was it true? Did they do it? I don't know. Other than we just sort of move on. It's so funny. Cause it's like, we're moving on to Stacy, like having an article in vanity fair. And what I loved about that is like Giselle, she acknowledged that she hates Stacy with every ounce of her being. And yet she even acknowledged, she's like, well, you got in vanity fair. That's good for the show. She's like, everybody, all the other cast members are getting locked up or put in jail. And so good for Stacey for getting Vanny Fair for her QVC videos. And then Stacey, who's like a big liar, does not make any sense. We all love for the show, despite the fact that she's not told the nons of truth. She was trying to defend how those QVC videos, she's like, they show who I really am. And it was like, everybody's like, do they? Like, it just, you're selling a top with a camel on it, a blouse with a camel on it for a holiday season on QVC and saying the order number, order Q985, call in. And you're talking to customers who call in. Like, I don't know that that's really showing how much you are because obviously you're going to be poised and polished in an atmosphere like that. And I would like to remind everybody that people at QVC and HSN that I've been begging for years now for them to hire me to sell some goods, to sell some wares for Christmas. I don't want to sell like year round stuff. I just want to come on there and do like one hour. And I promise you, you guys, I talk for an hour plus a week by myself on this podcast. Like, I can hop on over to QVC and move some merch over there for the holiday season. It's like a dream of mine. I just want to sell holiday decor, Christmas lights, or I know we don't have the Warner Brothers Studio store anymore on the QVC or HSN network, but I do think that I could sell the shit out of some, like, pre-lit Christmas trees or some outdoor holiday lights. It's like, put me in coach. And I'm not even asking for a lot of money. I know that's not something I should get on the microphone, but it's one of my bucket list things. It's like that. I want to get on Sesame Street and I want to be in General Hospital. Somebody make it happen. I'm sorry, I'm shouting at you. I shouldn't get on the microphone to beg for jobs, but it's just what I, these are my bucket list things. And so I feel like I got to put them out into the universe and manifest them, secret them into existence. But anyway, Stacey's a big liar, but I love her. and then yeah anything else at the Potomac reunion I thought it was thrilling honestly I'm loving Potomac and I'm going to be so devastated I'm going to be fucking crushed when this reunion's over because I'm just maybe by the end by part three you know even when the reunions are really great by the part three I'm like okay I'm done with you guys like I need a break I need a breather no more but right now I'm loving it and I got to be honest with you this is going to be before we get into the last little thing I say before we get into Summer House this I've been so hard on The Real House of Beverly Hills because I do think it's the most boring show on the network. And I think they take advantage of the viewers by having so many episodes per season, despite the fact that they have very little content or dramatic interactions on that show. And so I think the network actually takes advantage of the audience. And so that's why I constantly talk shit about it. And I understand it's a slow burn show and some people like that. So you don't need to yell at me if you do like it. I get it. People like it. And the ratings do go through the roof. So it is what it is. People are enjoying it. But I feel like they take advantage of us, and I don't like that, because I feel like, speaking for the people, we need to let them know that you can't take advantage of us like that. And not only that, we see this week Denise Richards. Denise fucking Richards is stepping on the scene this week on Beverly Hills, this new episode that's coming up. And they always do that. They have to wheel out the old crazy cast members. I don't know why I said wheel. I always say wheel out. Wheel out, you know what I'm saying. they gotta cart out Denise for an episode because everybody's so fucking bored but anyway the point is I do have to just say that this most recent week when half the group went to the Hamptons and half the group went to Amanda's grifting manifestation energy event with her grifter book that Erica pointed out was self-published and as I pointed out on the show before it's not an actual bestseller she's just promoting it that way which is why I think it's grift anyway that's not the point Am I even using, are we using the term grift right? I don't know. Who's to say? I'm not a wordsmith, despite the fact that I am an author. I just think that this week, finally, I gotta give it to them. I thought it was good. that's right i thought the realest beverly hills actually had a decent now was it as good as a potomac episode or salt lake city episode or or literally anything else on tv certainly not certainly not but for beverly hills this season i actually thought it was a good episode and i was loving i'm loving rachel zoe whatever she's doing over there even though i don't think she's getting in the mix with the drama i do like watching her and i'm enjoying that um so i just have to give it to them they had a good week i don't know if it'll continue with denise coming back. I think it might have another good week in them. But Beverly Hills, they give us like three good episodes a season, three good ones. And then it's like 18 bad ones. I don't think that's a proper average. You look at something like Salt Lake City, and they're giving us like, out of 15 episodes, 14 good ones. Do you see the math here? The math ain't mathin'. Which is something that I feel like Bo's says every episode. I don't know if she does, but she's always in that business speak. So I feel like she's said a million times, like the math ain't math. And so anyway, shout out to Bose for using that phrase. Moving on. Shall we get in to Summer House? This is not fun. Summer should be fun. Summer should be fun. Now, are the new cast members having fun this summer? Absolutely not. Because they are in a hell of the show's own making, which I'm loving, by the way, as an audience member. I'm going to talk some shit about it. but I think it's fantastic, riveting television. But if I was, again, one of those new cast members and I was some 29-year-old gal looking to hook up and have some cocktails with some people in a summer share house, I certainly wouldn't be happy with Kyle and Amanda constantly taking all the air out of the room and arguing about their marriage because those two need a divorce. And so I'm excited. No one should ever say that they're excited for someone to get a divorce because isn't that bad? I feel like that's bad energy to put out in the universe. But I am excited because these two just are not right for each other. They're not right for each other. And Kyle has all these excuses. You know, what did he say last week? He put 500K into his business. And he was like whining about that. It's like, well, it's your business, sir. It's your business. So yeah, you put money into your business. I don't know. And last week we ended the show with Kyle throwing that big fit like a toddler where he threw the chair and went out of the dinner because he was mad. Sierra was giggling at him because he was making some toast. like, everyone, I'm sorry. I want to say everyone, I'm sorry to the group or what I said to Amanda. And then Sierra's like, okay, we're trying to have dinner here. And the new cast members are like, who are you? They're just meeting you, apparently. And Mia just got there that night, and Mia's like, what the fuck is going on? And then there's this very awkward moment where Kyle throws a chair, and then he storms inside, and then goes to the front porch and sits on a chair. And nobody chases after him. At one point, Carl, I believe, was forced by production to go check on Kyle. I don't think Carl actually wanted to go check on Kyle, but he did eventually. But for the most part, you could tell everybody over Kyle Carl Kyle I not over Carl I on Carl side this season But yeah Kyle outside with those Amazon boxes just talking to himself And Mia back at the table in the backyard like well what the fuck And everybody just like eating like normal because they have to deal with this every fucking dinner they go to And I'm like, Kyle, didn't you say summer should be fun? This is not fun. Summer should be fun. But Kyle feels like Sierra riles up Amanda when she was laughing at the table. And he feels like all alone. And Carl, meanwhile, is just sitting there like, yeah, that sucks. Like, Carl's been alone before. By the way, Carl's aged 100 years because of Kyle and Amanda's bullshit. I know he went through his own stuff, and he's lived a thousand lives, and we've seen it on camera, and he's very been open about his sobriety and all that stuff, which we applaud him for. But I actually think the thing that's aging Carl the most is that he's had to film with Kyle and Amanda for this many years and deal with all that bullshit. At least what's-her-face Lindsay? hub house, which I did, I did miss her this week. Cause I thought hubs is coming back now and hubs wasn't back on this season or back on this episode this week. She had that one scene last week where she's sat on the rooftop and told Amanda she was being a dumb shit. But then now she's nowhere to be found. I thought she was going to come to the house this week. It's devastated. Anyway, she's aging better because she, she's taking episodes off. She's like, I need to go rest. I can't deal with this kind of man every week. So she's resting and And that's good for her. I'm proud of her. She's got the baby. She don't have time to be dealing with Kyle and Amanda's bullshit. Then meanwhile, back at the table, Carl sits back down at the dinner table and is like, Levi, why do I, I always want to call her Levi. It's Levi, the new gal. I think this is Southern, I think Levi on Southern Charm. Now, every time I see it in my notes, I see Levi. It makes me want to say Levi, which isn't a way anyone says a name or call their genes that. Like I should know Levi, Levi Jeans. But why do I keep wanting to call her Levi? I literally never heard anyone called Levi. But every time I'm reading my notes talking about Levi, I want to say the word Levi. Levi? Does anyone out there go by Levi? Is that a name? I don't know. I'm sure it is somewhere. Somebody probably goes by Levi. Anyway, Carl says, Levi, who do you think is the... Levi, who do you think is the hottest guy in the house? and then she says ben and we just moved on and i kind of felt bad because it's like carl posed the question and politeness rules whether or not you agree that carl's the most attractive person in the house which i don't believe that anyone is going to say that over this ben fella uh but even if so the fact that carl asked it and then everybody was just like oh yeah ben and it was like nobody even like politely said carl even though he posed the question i thought that was mean and so justice for carl then everybody pregames kyle's got uh DJs. He DJs in that one room with all the cardboard cutouts. And he said he's got a DJ for the money. But okay, I'd just like to point out, we've talked about this a million times, but Kyle has to DJ for money, but that doesn't mean he needs to sleep out at fans' houses for the money. Okay? Cut! You hear me? You hear me, Kyle Cook? You don't, you can, if you say you got a DJ for the money, that doesn't mean you got a drink when you DJ. You could stay stone cold sober. These days, the youths aren't drinking like they used to. So I'm sure you could DJ events for the youths at the college campuses you're going to on a Thursday night, and you could have no cocktails and be just fine. And if you gotta have drinks while you're DJing in order to do it, then probably it's not a career profession for you. If you've got a wife at home who's saying, stop drinking and sleeping at fans' houses and getting in mischief. So, it's all a bag of bullshit. I'm saying he's gotta DJ for the money. I gotta DJ with a minute. No, you don't. That's a fucking lie. That's a lie. You just don't have to do that. And if you do, you should be able to do it without drinking. And if you can't do it without drinking, you find another career path or start DJing daytime events like Dorinda Medley at 7.30 a.m. for Clorox. Okay, West also isn't sure. He obviously has got some chemistry with Sierra. He's not sure if Sierra hates him or is joking. She's like being playful with his glasses or something. She was kind of flirting. And they are trying to They're trying to lead us to believe that there's this love trying between Wes, Jesse, and Sierra. And I actually don't think Sierra has any interest in Jesse. And I don't even think Jesse's got a romantic interest in Sierra. He's just like, oh yeah, she's beautiful. Obviously, everybody thinks that. Look at her. But I don't think there's any sort of chemistry, really, between Jesse and Sierra. And part of that could be me having clouded judgment because I find Jesse insufferable this season. Really, for no real reason. I don't have much of a reason. I just don't care for him. And that's my right. That's my right. So people who do like Jesse Solomon, just know that I don't. And I don't have a reason for it. I don't need a reason always. Sometimes, in my heart, maybe in a couple weeks, my heart will change. But right now, I don't see any sort of romantic chemistry between him and Sierra. And they're trying to edit it like there is. Now, with West and Sierra, even when they were drunk that night and Sierra was flirting with them at the end of the night, and she grabbed his cardboard cutout and she was like lowering it from the top of the stairs and like, West, come here. I see, they have chemistry. They got some real heat between them. That's what the people would call heat. They got some heat between them. And so Kelly Clarkson used to have a song called Heat. Do you know that song Heat? She had, it was off, I think her Meaning for Life album and I thought it should have been the biggest single. And actually this kind of relates to Bravo. When I went to TomTom one night, I was with Katie Maloney and her mom and Logan, who you guys might know as close friends with Ariana. We were at dinner. Actually, Logan works at Tom Tomedy's Best, but we were at dinner and Kelly Clarkson was there. And so we met Kelly Clarkson. And I know I told this story years ago. This was a million years ago, but we had met Kelly Clarkson and Terry Maloney was like calling me over to like take pictures with Kelly Clarkson. And Selena Gomez was also there at a different table. And so it was like the craziest night. But anyway, when I met Kelly Clarkson, I had had a couple of drinks. Like we all did a shot together. And I, you know, I don't drink a whole lot, but so I was a little tipsy. And I remember telling Kelly Clarkson, like heat should have been her song. Heat should have been like a huge single. I was like, that should have been a number one hit. She was like, thank you. You know, and I was like, no, you don't understand. You don't get it, Kelly. Heat should be a hit number one song. and everybody's dumb shit. You know, I'm just like drunk shouting at her about her song that she's like, okay, like, I don't even know if she liked that song, but I loved it. Anyway, the people who've got some heat between them is West and Sierra, not Sierra and Jesse Solomon. I'm sorry, Jesse, they don't have heat between them. There's no heat. And I need more heat from your baby. Okay, so then Amanda goes to bed early and Kyle goes up to her and apologize for getting drunk and talking about their sex life and their apartment and how she doesn't clean the apartment. And Amanda says, thank you. And it's all so awkward. Like they just have so much awkwardness between them. But Amanda says that the allegation of her smoking weed every day, she's like, I smoke after 10.30 p.m., after the dogs go for their last walk. So she's saying, like, I'm responsible with my weed, being a weeder. She's like, I'm a responsible weeder. And so she's only doing it after 10.30 p.m. after the dogs are down or whatever. And so Kyle, him bringing up to the house, like, ah, man, I smoke sleep every day. It's like, yeah, maybe before bed. And 10.30 at night should be bedtime anyway. So she's just using it to get to sleep. It's like a sleep aid at this point for Amanda because I've watched her on this show 100 years. She's not going to bed much later than 10.30. So if the off season, she's smoking a joint, having a doobie at 10.30, So be it, Kyle Cook. Okay, she's not going out like you for the rest of the night, staying out in some fan's house at a college campus on a Thursday night, pretending you got to DJ for your lover boy business, which is a crack of shit. So I'm sorry to say, I got to cause it as I seize it. And I don't think that Amanda's doing anything wrong. She smokes up a joint at 10.30 p.m. after the dogs went on their last walk. Meanwhile, then we see some footage, some cell phone footage of Kyle at the clubs DJing, because they all go out. I was confused about this. I don't know. I'm tired of talking about how it's inappropriate that they can't film at these clubs that they go to. Because what are we watching then? We're just watching these cell phone footage. It's like the whole show's about them partying and going to the Hamptons, but then they're saying they can't film in the Hamptons. So what are we doing? What are we doing? Anyway, then meanwhile, back at the house, Mia's on the phone with Scott, her boyfriend. No offense, but I'm sorry, we're going to need to chop the boyfriend. or chop the cast member because I can't have cast members who got a boyfriend who's not on the show. He owns restaurants in New York, LA, and Miami. God bless. She says he travels all the time. God bless again. He watches Mission Impossible without her. God bless for a third time. But I can't have you guys on a TV show. It's like that season when Paige dated that other person who didn't want to be on the TV show. Then we need to get you off the shows. Sorry, you want to be a reality star? Them's the breaks. Them's the breaks. Sorry, somebody's going to say it. shouldn't be who's casting people on reality shows when they got a boyfriend who doesn't want to be on camera or is not on the show like then we're not i would put me in the cast i'm sorry mia she seems like great gal and i was on board last week but now that i'm finding out because then i guess maybe maybe they'll break up maybe they'll break up and it'll be worth it but i just feel like it's gonna is this gonna be another one of those situations where we have like another flop new cast member because they're casting people who got boyfriends off screen And I actually think, I love Paige down. You know I love my Paige, my Italian sister. I ride hard for Paige DeSorbo. However, I think that her dating Craig kind of saved her fate on the show a little bit. Because, not because of Craig, forget that. But more so because she had been dating that guy who didn't want to, what was it? But not Peyton. Did it start with a P? I don't fucking know. But she was dating some guy who didn't want to be on the show. and after that season I was like uh oh this is not we don't need this person on the show and then she broke up with them and started dating Craig and it worked out in the end so maybe that'll happen with Mia maybe she'll break up with this fella then start dating someone maybe anyone but Jesse Solomon hopefully no offense um okay let's take a break here I want to thank Acast we'll be right back and we're back okay bitch let's gossip okay before we dive back into summer house is anyone watching that jfk jr carolyn beset show on fx you guys i know i know there's like some moral gray area about watching it i get that no no need to tell me i understand i think the family has come out and said, like, absolutely not. This is terrible. Do not watch the show. Like, I think they have said that. I don't know in those exact terms, but I do believe I've seen a headline saying, like, the family's not happy about this show. But I have watched the first three episodes, and I'm riveted. I love it so much. I find the fashion, the 90s of it all. It's like, everything about it. I'm loving Sarah Pigeon, who plays Carolyn. She's phenomenal. The guy who plays JFK Jr., obviously, stepping into the role of JFK Jr., you're going to have to be a hot and he's a hot. Like this man, the minute he's, the second he's on screen, the first time, it's like, you just start sweating. Matt, turn on the fan! Immediately when he got on screen, that man, I think his name is like Paul, something. Right when I saw him, it was like I had, I don't, it's not like I follow a lot of like people on Instagram that are just hots. Like maybe a handful of male models, a handful of hots I'll follow on social media. But this was a case where it's like the second he came on screen, it was like a physical instant reaction of just my hand going to my phone. Well, first the hand went one plate. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Jokes. But the hand immediately went to my phone to click on his name to find him on Instagram and hit follow. And he didn't even have that many followers. And I was shocked about it because I'm like, how do people see this man and then not follow him? And look, I might regret it because sometimes those hot kind of fellas, they don't offer much on Instagram and you follow them and you're like, they're not posting thirst traps and they're not posting anything interesting or funny because oftentimes people that look that good don't have to have much of a personality as they shouldn't. So I instantly followed him and he didn't have a lot of followers. Maybe he does now, but I was like, how come every, I thought like everybody who watches this show, like, that's just a knee-jerk reaction to like, go follow that man because he's so attractive. Anyway, of course you would have to be to play JFK Jr. But I find the show just fantastic. And again, I understand more gray area. I understand that. So be it. But the music budget on that show is worth it to me. And there was a lot of complaints about it before it came out, like how accurate it was or the fashions or whatever. And Honestly, I think it's fantastic. I just think it's great. So if you haven't watched it or you've been holding back from watching it, you probably should do that moralistically. But just know that it is actually really good. And I don't even know why. We all know the story. And it not like it super plot But I just love it Maybe it is just the fashions the music and the way it shot It beautiful Like it good The lighting is great It's like a pretty man to look at. Like, I don't know. I just, I'm into it. It's the kind of thing I need right now. I'm not liking a lot of other stuff lately. And so that is really doing it for me. Okay, so back to Summer House, because I know that's what you guys tuned in for, not for me to just ramble on about a hot. Okay, so Amanda and Sierra sit down and talk at the end of the night. And Amanda says she's nervous about how Kyle will treat the children. She's like, well, if he storms out of dinner like that, is he going to storm out with the kids? Sierra's like, you deserve someone better. And Amanda says, I don't know if I'd be good enough for someone else. Amanda, you will be, girl. Girl? You will be. You just got to get rid of the dead weight and go find someone who's going to give you the things that you need, which is not going out drinking and sleeping at young gals' houses after DJing a college event on a Thursday night. That's just what I hope you'll find. I think you will. Sierra gasses her up, though, which is nice. A good friend. Meanwhile, the boys are drunken in their pool in their underwear. Kyle's wasted. So embarrassing. And he just gave her a hard time for going in the pool in her underwear. And now here he comes. Here go hell come. Hopping in that body of water in his undies. meanwhile the next day, Saturday morning 8.19am, Kyle and Amanda wake up with some awkward tension Bailey sees herself in Amanda and is like, I'm not dealing with that shit, Bailey's beautiful, I gotta say this about Bailey she's beautiful just, I don't know I was looking at her, and I'm sure she'll I always think about the first season of a person on a show, they always have a big glow up, usually after the first season, they see themselves on camera. And I would imagine it teaches you how to dress, how to do your hair, your makeup, you know, you learn kind of as you go. Because most of us aren't just like looking at ourselves, you might see yourself in a picture. But I think when you see yourself in that way on a TV show for a long period of time, you're like, oh, I should do my hair different. Or maybe my eye makeup looks better that way or this way or these kind of pants look good on me or whatever. So I'm like thinking, oh my God, like Bailey's so beautiful. And I think she's going to be even more beautiful on her. I think she'll get a second season because I'm liking Bailey. Maybe I'm being naive and it's still early, but I like Bailey and I'm like, oh, she's going to have a glow up even. And I think she's beautiful now. Like, what is she going to look like when she has the glow up? She's just going to be a stunner, stunner. I think I like Bailey and Levi. Levi. And I do like Mia, too, if she would ditch the boyfriend. I'm just nervous about that. Now, Jesse tells Sierra that he's open for relationships. He says he's been single for a while, and they're like, what do you mean? What about that gal last year? And he's like, oh, Lexi wasn't a real relationship. It was eight weeks. And he said the last real one was 2019. Then we cut to the beach. The boys play some handball game. I've seen people play this. Is it called the handball? Do you know what I'm talking about? They had that little trampoline, and they were all just slapping the little ball. It feels like such a dainty game for all these buff straight guys to be playing on the beach. It was like a dainty tetherball. Is that what it is? That little-ass trampoline that they carried from the house, and then it's like a little tennis ball, and it's just like all these big, beefy guys. And didn't West play football? All these big beefy guys, though, just like bitch slapping this little tennis ball into a dainty trampoline. It's like a tetherball, but like on a doily. You know what I'm saying? I don't know what that game was, but they've all been playing it. And so then Kyle and KJ talk. KJ wishes he was like one of the boys. I'm loving KJ. He said he wishes he was one of the boys. But he was raised by all these gals. And so he's got like a more emotional side. And he seems to be opening up week after week. We're learning so much about KJ. And everything I learned about that man is a green flag. That's what I'm saying. It's a green flag. I don't have many red flags with KJ quite yet. The only thing that actually, you know what? The only thing is with KJ, and I say this because I recognize the behavior that I have myself where he's very in his head, which I think can be exhausting for someone like anyone who knows me. I feel like it must be exhausting to be a close friend of me because I'm always so in my head and worried about everything. And I do recognize that in KJ, where he's overthinking everything. And he's talked about it in his anxiety before, and I think that kind of goes part and parcel with anxiety. But KJ is otherwise green flags all around. And I think even that could be a little bit of a green flag because it means you're conscious of other people around you and the things that you're doing as you navigate the world, which it seems like too many people these days don't have that. Too many people are navigating and they're just acting like a dumb shit, doing horrible, awful things and not thinking about other people. And so maybe that's a green flag, but I'm just saying I love KJ. Now, West on the beach, I did notice that he has what I would like to say is a donkey booty. I would. And I just want to applaud him for that. Now, West tells Kyle that Kyle was doing that big gesture at the dinner. He's like, that's bad. He's like, you should just be talking to Amanda. if you have to apologize to Amanda. Meanwhile, the other people are trying to have fun. Sierra and Jesse tried to do the dirty dancing lift. Then Carl and Kyle tried to do the dirty dancing lift. I was like, I don't know how we got there. I was like... But that dirty dancing lift, which was choreographed by the great Kenny Ortega, who I feel like every week on the show I'm mentioning him, the director of High School Musical, but he choreographed that dirty dancing lift that I feel like has lived on in infamy. I mean, what an iconic thing that is. But I don't understand Carl and Kyle doing it. But God bless. Kyle invites Amanda to what he calls the Apology Dune, where that's where they go to apologize. And I think that's production, obviously. Kyle made it seem like, oh, come to my Apology Dune. And then that's probably what production calls it, because they set up shop there. They're like, this is a good area for us to shoot in. It's like they only have three locations on this show. And it's something, you guys, it's just not working, you guys. And so we got to have new locations. I'm tired of this beach, tired of the Apology Dune, and I'm tired of the house. So if you can't film in the clubs, like find literally anywhere else that we can have you do things. At this point, I think I'd be happy if they did some sort of goat yoga or axe throwing. If they went to an axe throwing bar, I'd at least feel like we were somewhere fresh. Because I'm sick of looking at these same three places, the Apology Dune, the beach. and the house and the car. That's really all we film in. It's like, show me something else, anything else. Amanda says she doesn't want to do things for Kyle, though, when he doesn't do the things that she asked for. And she's told him to get the drinking under control, and then he gets mad. He's like, I only do it socially. She's like, I need to know my husband is responsible enough to go out without me worrying. And Kyle then says, he starts to get pissed at Amanda. He's like, you drive me to drinking. And Kyle says, Amanda says, no all the time since they got engaged. And he's like, you knew who I was. And she's like, yeah, but I thought when we got married, you wouldn't be going out drinking every night. Which is, I think, a pretty reasonable thing to think, right? Because, I don't know. Kyle says they aren't compatible. They have no chemistry, et cetera. He says months go by where she doesn't ask a single question. And she's very obviously checked out. he says to her at one point maybe get some curiosity, drive, intention and personality and I thought that was him being such a diabolical dick, to me that was worse than almost anything he's ever said he was mad that she was bringing up the drinking on camera but for him to say I know that I'm very much on Amanda's side I just am and I can try my best to see it from another angle of Kyle's perspective but I just think him saying on camera even after Amanda said that other thing about his drinking, for him to say maybe to get some curiosity, drive, intention, and personality, like, fuck you, dude. Like, that is just so, that's your wife, and you're doing it on-camera mic'd. Those are off, if my husband said that to me off-camera, off-mic, not in front of the world, that would devastate me. For your husband or your wife to say that you don't have any curiosity, drive, intention, or personality. And I think he even had some other adjectives, and I was trying to type it really fast, but I know he definitely said that she needs to get some curiosity, drive, intention, and personality. And if my husband said that to me off-camp, like not even in front of everyone, I would be broken. Like those are all the things. That's everything. And yeah, and she's pointing out, it's like if that's how you think of her, then you should get divorced. If that's what you think of your wife, then yeah, you should get a divorce. I mean, because what she's saying is a fixable kind of thing of like, I just don't want you to drink that much all at night and go out all the time. I just don't like that man. And you know what? Yeah. He's starting to age a little bit to me. He is. And maybe it's because I'm finding him to be just so mean this season. But he's mad that Amanda's labeling him an alcoholic. Like, West even says, he's like, Kyle's such a fucking baby sometimes. My God. And then we have this, like, fourth wall breaking moment where Amanda's talking to the producer. And they have some, she tells the producer, like, we have the same conversation every year. She says she shouldn't have to show him respect when he doesn't. She's talking to Trish, the producer. I love when they got Trish, the producer on. I don't know, Trish, but I love that we're getting a glimpse of Trish. Trish! Do you guys ever see Barb and Star? the name Trish always reminds me of Barb and Star. If you've never seen that movie, that's like a great, if you just need some laughs, go watch Barb and Star and Vista Del Mar. It's like a dumb, stupid movie. That's like the best movie. I mean dumb and stupid in a complimentary way. Okay. Oh, by the way, I did hear from a lot of you who watch Waiting for Guffman for the first time. And it made me so happy because we talked about it on the podcast. And I was so thrilled that people were checking out Waiting for Guffman. And not only that, I was thrilled by how many people were reaching out to me like it's the funniest fucking movie and i was like yeah it is you're right um okay so then what else is going on should we take a break here let's take one more quick break and then we're going to come back and talk about trish the producer we'll be right back starting a business means wearing many hats designer marketer manager while chasing your vision shopify powers millions of businesses with tools to build beautiful stores create content and market with ease from inventory to shipping everything runs smoothly if you're ready to sell you're ready for shopify sign up for your one euro trial today at shopify.nl that's shopify.nl and we're back girl so while amanda is talking to trish the producer uh kyle is in the water he's grazing like a fish and uh he gets out of the water and he goes to amanda to apologize he's like i'm sorry man i should have said that i don't like you know and she's totally checked out way more than him i think and she says she has asked him the same things for years and she feels crazy because, you know, I was a social person. And Amanda's like, I didn't know social meant cheating. And then Kyle doesn't know what to say. Amanda says she gets DMs every time he goes out. Producers ask. And she says, in the confessional, the producers ask, do you think Kyle's cheated on you before? And Amanda's like, well, he has in the past. Who knows if he'll do it again? Who knows? Only Kyle, she says. Oh, you guys, I'm begging them to get a divorce. It's so scary that they were so close to having kids. Because look, at this point, I know we're applauding their divorce, separation, whatever. But it really is something to applaud because I feel like, judging from what we've seen on the show, at least, they were very close to having children. And last season on the show, we saw Kyle trying to get his spermies checked. and I think even was it this week on the show or one of the other weeks Kyle says my biggest fear is that he's not going to have kids before his parents pass away and so I think they were dangerously close to having children and at this point it's like they hate each other they can easily get out of their marriage I think they didn't have a prenup which could get a little sticky could get some sticky fingers in there but for the most part it's going to be pretty easy for them to get out of this sign a little paperwork there's not going to be any children involved and then they can both move on with their lives don't know if they have dogs didn't they have dogs? I feel like they have dogs anyway, that'll be an issue I gotta say something though oh, you guys are going to hate me this is going to get me in some hot water buckle up buttercup, I got something to say I kind of feel I'm not ready for the reaction on what I'm about to say but I do feel like if you're someone if you don't have kids and you have a dog and you're married and you get divorced, I feel like one person should get custody of the dog. I don think that we should be doing the passing the dog around because I feel like the dog especially a dog needs like a stable environment And I don know that I like the idea of like didn't Schwartz and Katie do that on Vanderpump Rules or something? Like, I don't know that the dog, I worry about that. I worry for the dog. I feel like the dog needs to be, I say this as justice for the dog. And like, I don't know, maybe there's a dog psychologist out there, psychiatrist, a doggy psychiatrist out there who could tell me otherwise. But I feel like it's not good for the psyche of a dog to be passed around going from home to home week to week. So I think if you just have a dog, no kids. I understand with kids, like, you might have to do a weekend here, a weekend there of divorce. Like, I get that. But with a dog, I just think, shouldn't they go to one house? And then maybe, like, if it's under good terms, like, the person could visit. But I think the dog should stay in one home. That's my, that's my, um, that's my hot take. Okay, so then, um, let's see. I want them to get a divorce though, Kyle and Amanda. Wes checks on Amanda. I was sort of sad that Sierra declined to check on Amanda, but she's probably exhausted by the two of them. Then they all get to the house. Kyle and Amanda decide to have fun. Bailey wears a giant bow. And we should maybe talk about this for like 45 minutes. Pull over for driving. Because Bailey, I was just defending how gorgeous she was. And I think this is an example of what I was talking about earlier on the podcast. She might look at this tape and be like, oh, I shouldn't be wearing bows like that. Like it reminded me of that episode of Friends where Phoebe had like that, she spilled something on herself and so she got that big like brooch or whatever on her dress. You know what I'm talking about? They did that one bottle episode of Friends where they were all in the, getting ready for an event or something. And that's when Monica, doesn't she leave the voicemail? And she's like, I don't know, maybe I'm on my period or something as she's giving the voicemail to Richard. Ah, you guys, that was funny. I haven't watched Friends in a while, and I feel like Friends got a bad rap. Culturally, everyone turned on Friends. And then now maybe people are coming back around to it. But that was a funny thing. That was funny. Friends was funny sometimes. A lot of times. Most of the time. I'm sorry. I'm giving a lot of hot takes this week. But so Bailey was wearing that giant bow, and it was so Phoebe-coated. But the group splits up. They do that thing, which they do every season, where half the group goes to dinner. The other group is at home. Now, this is when KJ opens up even more, says that his dad was a player and said something about the mom told him that God was his dad. And then the dad showed up in a Hummer one day. And KJ's like, who the fuck is that? And then the mom's like, oh, by the way, that's your dad. And he said it was in a Hummer. And I have to say that when I went to prom, I might have told this story years ago on the show. But when I went to prom, I drove in a Hummer. And then there was like a couple of couples. Half the group went on like a horse and carriage. Like they rented a horse and carriage. And then like a few of us, we got a Hummer and I drove a Hummer, which is like an H2, a giant, those big ass, ugly ass cars. I think they're so ugly. But for my senior prom, I drove an H2 to prom and we took pictures in front of it. I have a lot of photos of just me and my friend posing. And the girl I took, I don't even know if the girl I took was in any of the photos. Because she actually ultimately ended up having sex with someone in the tent that I provided at after prom. It's a tale for another time. She was fucking someone else while I was just, I don't know, I was playing games. Probably playing scategories with the girls. With the people who weren't having sex. But my prom date did it in my tent. Um, anyway, um, we were, but my friend and I, we have like a bunch of photos. Like there was a whole album of us like posing in front of an H2, which I find so insanely cringe now and to look back on, but like also hilarious. Like I, I kind of love the idea that we were just taking photos in front of an H2, like an idiot. But it was like, you know how people would do that maybe in front of the limos at that time, or at least I remember people taking photos in front of the limo or you'd all get together for photos at someone's house. And then everyone, we have photos of like coming down the staircase, like all the couples go down the staircase, which is all so weird. Like what were we all fucking doing? But then why was I photographed in front of the H2? By the way, I did find that photo. I got a post on my Instagram. I found that photo of me milking the cow. Remember I told you how traumatizing it was when they made me milk a cow in grade school and then took photos of it. I did find one photo from that. And you can't really tell because the photos like me from behind as like a little kid. So you can't really tell, but I, I can see it. And I could feel the trauma through the photo of just me, like having the milk a cow on camera, on can to camera. Anyway, let's move on. Uh, KJ though, he says he was around women growing up. He says he talks feelings and girls aren't used to it. And I love him. Meanwhile, at the dinner, Sierra says she dumped someone without a couch and she wants a spiritual husband. Jesse says he wants a wife, the spiritual. And they're trying to pretend Jesse and Sierra are going to be a thing. I don't think they will. The group at home is eating sushi, and Mia suggests a game. She's like, how about each person we go around two minutes, and any questions anyone has, we do it. And the thing that I'm liking about Mia in this moment is it's very student council coded. And I say that as someone who was student council class president. I was always ready to go with an icebreaker activity, probably because I wasn't having sex in high school. I was like, okay, let's do this icebreaker activity to avoid sex. Let's play some fun game. Let's play some icebreaker game. And so when she suggested that, I was like, oh, Mia, I think she might have been a stucco, a student council person. But she suggests this. West says he's still attracted to Sierra. I like his confessional with the tie and the glasses. It might be because I'm watching that JFK thing. I am obsessed with the way that JFK was obviously so in style all the time. Like he had a very clear style, but there's like, I love that like blazer with jeans and a tie look and West sort of, he didn't have a blazer on, but he had that like, I don't know if I'm making sense. Okay. Kyle says his biggest fear. Oh, this is where he says his biggest fear is not starting a family before his parents pass. And it's like, okay, then get your shit together. You dumb shit. Amanda says after the cameras come down Kyle's back to the same shit Kyle says he can't he can't say he'll give up DJing for Amanda like they ask him that he's like I don't know if I could give that up I don't know if I could give that up I don't know if I could give that up meanwhile Amanda gets home they all go out we see them at the club on the phone cameras and then Amanda gets home at 1230 Kyle gets home at 330 AM AM why did I say it like that AM It sounded like the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous. Amber Atkins. My favorite movie, Drop Dead Gorgeous. Remember when they asked Kirsten Dunst to spell Alabama? And she's like, A-L-A-B-A-M-A. It's my favorite thing. Okay, so then, yeah, Amanda gets home. Kyle's 3.30 embarrassingly drunk because Amanda keeps telling him, stop coming home late and get drunk. Meanwhile, Sierra's drunk. She's having fun. Oh, this is when she's being flirty with West. Then we cut to 5.12 a.m. And Kyle's like, hey, Amanda, I miss you. I hope I can sleep. I have some anxiety. It's like, well, maybe you shouldn't drink. And Amanda says, drinking probably doesn't help your anxiety. It's 5.12 a.m. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? But Amanda says, unfortunately, she loves him. She's like, Kyle lights up a room. And I love him. But she's not lighting up her room. Or he's not lighting up her room metaphorically anymore. You could tell. The light has gone out. The light has dimmed and Amanda is no longer being lit up by Kyle. But Kyle says, I don't understand you. I don't know what you want. I thought I knew. I don't know how we got so complicated. And the truth is, she's been clear about how you've been complicated since the very first moment we've met Amanda. I've known this. So next week on the show, that's the end of the episode. Next week, we see Australian Singles Night, Lindsay meets Ben. very excited about that I hope that Lindsay somebody's got to hook up with Ben right somebody better excuse my language but tap that ass tap that Australian ass tap it like a keg baby Lindsay get in there get somebody in there and knows what they're doing so Lindsay Hubhouse I miss her on the show get her back and I hope she's single now she's got Gemma and it seems like Gemma's doing well so it's like I'm hoping we're going to get to see single Lindsay, too. And tap in that Australian ass like a keg. You know, hop in that kangaroo pouch and just see what happens, Lindsay. I need you to do it. Take one for the team. Put a shrimp on that Barbie. I don't know. What do they say in Australia? Get a taste of his water bottle. You know? Oh, I love these shows. It was a thrilling episode, honestly. Like, I don't know. I'm riveted by the dissolution of their marriage, which I don't know what that says about me. I mean, that's something I should look into. Did you just see there was an interview with Michelle Obama talking about how much she loves Bravo? And she was talking about the table flip and how riveted she was by that. And whenever I hear someone intellectual and well-respected talking about how much they like Bravo, it makes me feel better. Because I have always believed that I think really smart, the people that I know who watch Bravo, and even when I hear from listeners or meet people in the wild and stuff. It seems like all of us who watch these shows like we do, we're all very intelligent people. And I think we have our shit together. And it's like, we watch and enjoy these shows because it's like our outlet to get out all that messiness. So we see it in the shows. And then in our real lives, we're not like that. That's how I always thought about me. It's like, I like the drama on the shows because in my real life, I don't deal with drama. And I just, I'm sitting at home watching TV. Like I'm not getting in the mess in my real life. And so when I'm watching on TV, I get it all. It gets out of my system. And so it made me feel good. Anyway, next week on the show, we also see Jesse's writing a song. Not sure that we need that. And then West and Jesse seem to get into it. It seems like West and Jesse, they're just not what they used to be. And that's good. I think they need to be split up a little bit. Anyway, that's the end of the episode. I want to let you all know that everythingiconic.store, we have merch available. Also, if you go to patreon.com slash everything iconic. I'm doing Sex and the City recaps. I just posted a new one. We're on new season, season five, I believe. Is that what it is? Season five? Yeah. So I do one of those a month over on Patreon. And all you have to do to access that is go to patreon.com slash everything iconic. If you donate $4 more per month, you get access to the bonus episodes. And then you can get my books wherever books are sold or at your local library. You can request it at your local library. We love libraries and librarians. And I go to the Studio City Library all the time, but you can also, you know, check it out from your local library. If you don't want to buy it, just go. There's like a waitlist there on the library website where even digitally, you can wait for the copy of the book and then get it, which is great. Or buy it. I mean, buying is great too, but I should probably promote the buying because that helps the author more. But you know what? We love libraries. We do. Okay. And anything else I have to say? What else so I got to get off my chest. I had family in town. I was behind on some of my shows, The Traitors. My parents were here. My oldest brother and his family were here. My middle brother and his family were also supposed to come, but one of their kids had a little tooth issue. So unfortunately, they're going to have to come another time. But it was so fun to have family visit. Having the little baby now, lucky my son is eight months old now. And so it's fun to see him. He's more playful. And he looks like a toddler, though. I mean, he's a big, he's like 99 percentile in height and weight. So he's a big boy. But he almost looks like a little toddler. But it's fun to watch him play with his cousins and stuff. So even though the kids, my niece and nephew who were here, the nephew is turning 16. And he looks like a grown man. Like I posted some video on my Instagram and people were like, oh, is that your brother? And I'm like, no, that's my little nephew who's 15, about to turn 16. And I remember him when he was just a tiny baby, and now he's like a grown man, and he eats like a horse. And I'm like, where did the time go? Where is it going? And it makes me just think of my own kid and how quickly time goes. And even the eight months with him has moved so fast. But I don't know, every parent tells you that. I think that was the thing I noticed when Lucky first came along. It was like, everybody reached out, It goes fast. Enjoy it. The days are long, but the years are short. And it is so true. It moves so quickly. So anyway, maybe that's what I'll leave you all with. This week, just try to enjoy wherever you are in life or with your family and friends, wherever they're at. Whether you have kids or even if you have parents or loved ones, try to enjoy people where they're at. Because even older generations, you look at them and it's like, that's sad too as they're aging. So just try to enjoy the people that you love in your life where they're at now. because time just moves so fast. It does. It does. Okay, I love you all so much for listening. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. No, no, it's only up to you. Stupid looking hair.
