Speaker 1: Y'all. This is part two of a two part recap.
Speaker 1: Part one is already in your feed. Part one is
Speaker 1: Mandy sluitsker Ace Fanning, and Rachel Smith, and part two
Speaker 1: is Doug Buden and Gibson John's we're breaking it all
Speaker 1: down for you. What happened at Barravocon twenty twenty five. Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: next up to chat about Bravo Con. I've got my
Speaker 1: friend Gibson. John's gabbing with gibb How are you, Gibson?
Speaker 1: You were all over Bravocon. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was running around like a chicken with my head
Speaker 2: cut off for four straight days.
Speaker 1: Everywhere I look, there's Gibson. There's Gibson. There's Gibson. He's sunglasses,
Speaker 1: he's not sunglasses. He's with Jake from State Farm, He's
Speaker 1: with the housewives, He's everywhere. You're everywhere.
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm doing too much because everyone else
Speaker 2: is doing too little, I guess or parks. No, it was.
Speaker 2: It was quite the weekend. I had a great time,
Speaker 2: and like, I love seeing you. I feel like I
Speaker 2: saw you everywhere I went too. I feel like I
Speaker 2: know we ran into each other at least like three
Speaker 2: to three four or five times, like, which is great,
Speaker 2: which is more than I can say about a lot
Speaker 2: of people who I also wanted to see. But just
Speaker 2: it's funny how like certain people, I feel like you,
Speaker 2: you get on the same sort of track as them
Speaker 2: for the weekend, and some people like you just completely
Speaker 2: miss all weekend. You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, true, that's totally true.
Speaker 1: I loved seeing you so much, and you were like
Speaker 1: State Farm partner. You were in there with Jake from
Speaker 1: State farm I just was dying how was Jake from
Speaker 1: State Farm Because as much as I've seen him, I've
Speaker 1: never met him.
Speaker 2: He was a great guy. His real name is Kevin.
Speaker 2: He's an actor named Kevin, but you know, Jake from
Speaker 2: State Farmers is his defining role. And it's funny because,
Speaker 2: like I was, you're in that activation when you're doing
Speaker 2: stuff with them, and like he himself, I just didn't
Speaker 2: realize how much of an attraction he was. Like he
Speaker 2: people were like dying to see him and taking particularly
Speaker 2: I think a lot of like husbands and boyfriends who
Speaker 2: were there, like I think they were excited to see him.
Speaker 2: I think the other funny part is that like Craig
Speaker 2: was like one of their big collaborators, for the weekend
Speaker 2: and whenever he was there. I mean, I think just
Speaker 2: if you're at Bravo Con, he might be the biggest
Speaker 2: attraction in terms of a singular person. Like, people go
Speaker 2: crazy for Craig, and it's been the same at every
Speaker 2: Bravo Con in that regard for me. Did you ever
Speaker 2: see people respond to him sort of out on the floor.
Speaker 1: No, Craig is one of those ones that two years
Speaker 1: ago I saw everywhere I went, and this year I
Speaker 1: never actually funny physically laid eyes on him other than
Speaker 1: the Southern Charm panel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I saw him like three or four times
Speaker 2: out in the wild, and like there would be like
Speaker 2: hundreds of people, and I think it's one of those
Speaker 2: things where it's like people like really like him, I think,
Speaker 2: but also they have a crush on him, you know,
Speaker 2: and he's single now and it's sort of like that's
Speaker 2: kind of part of the appeal as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's very, very attractive.
Speaker 2: Which great this weekend, he looks great.
Speaker 1: He did. And I got to say that Southern Charm panel.
Speaker 1: I didn't go to tons of panels, but I did
Speaker 1: go to that one, and you could tell that there
Speaker 1: is really like bad feelings between Austin and.
Speaker 2: Crag totally like when when they really addressed that topic
Speaker 2: in particular what they like, they like waited a beat,
Speaker 2: and that beat felt like it was five minutes long,
Speaker 2: you know, before they really liked, Like I think Austin
Speaker 2: was the one who was like, well, you know, he
Speaker 2: like took a big breath before he like answered. It
Speaker 2: felt like, yeah, I thought that the Southern Charm panel,
Speaker 2: to me, what it reflected was like how disjointed the
Speaker 2: cast still is, Like it just feels like I do
Speaker 2: like a lot of these people individually, but just it's
Speaker 2: not a very cohesive group right now. It doesn't feel like,
Speaker 2: you know, like you have your central four, which are
Speaker 2: like the three guys and Madison, Yeah, and then there's
Speaker 2: sort of like then there's Vanita, and there's sort of
Speaker 2: like another level of like Sally Rodrigo, Mollie who again
Speaker 2: a great but like it doesn't feel like they're a
Speaker 2: friend group to me, you know, and that was reflected
Speaker 2: in the panel.
Speaker 3: I think that's true.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, they had Patricia on the end, and
Speaker 1: I was like, we can always use more Patricia, but
Speaker 1: they weren't like throwing enough questions to her.
Speaker 2: I felt and I don't need Whitney. I was whenever
Speaker 2: he soke on this panel, I was like please, just like,
Speaker 2: I know you're a producer on the show, but like
Speaker 2: take yourself out of the on camera role, Like we
Speaker 2: just don't need him there.
Speaker 1: He is comedic relief in that he is like such
Speaker 1: a dork. Do you know mean to me that he's
Speaker 1: just such a he's such a tryhard I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is not cute anymore to me, like sixty and
Speaker 1: talk about how maybe you'll marry a three year old
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2: I think what frustrates me is that he is able
Speaker 2: to like hop in and be funnier, dramatic or whatever
Speaker 2: he wants to be for like an episode or two,
Speaker 2: and then he gets to skip the reunion and ever
Speaker 2: answer for his behavior. You know what I mean, Because
Speaker 2: he's true, and that's why I think it's unfair.
Speaker 1: True. That's a great point. Yeah, And of course that
Speaker 1: you know, as wouldn't be Bravo Kon without a viral
Speaker 1: video of Shep being drawn God crouting his mouth off.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. He why is he so obsessed with Page?
Speaker 2: He also brought her up on the Walk Drop and
Speaker 2: side taping that I went to that has not aired yet.
Speaker 2: He's given a Mary Shag kill of Craig's exes and
Speaker 2: he kills Paige and he's like, I just got I
Speaker 2: could never be team Page blah blah blah. On the
Speaker 2: Summer House side is like or team Page obviously, but
Speaker 2: it's like he just like he's like really stuck on
Speaker 2: her and I and it's like more so than Craig is.
Speaker 2: And it's a little weird to me.
Speaker 1: That happens sometimes.
Speaker 2: That does.
Speaker 1: That happens sometimes, I think, especially that you're saying it now,
Speaker 1: like where somebody will break up and then their friend
Speaker 1: gets really stuck on it. You're like, I'm over it.
Speaker 1: You should be over it too, right, Yeah, true?
Speaker 3: Interesting, shep. I don't know, he's got a lot of
Speaker 3: anger in his heart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's like just right when you think that
Speaker 2: he maybe he's like on the right track or his
Speaker 2: changed or whatever, it's like, no, I don't know. You know,
Speaker 2: a zebra never changes their stripes.
Speaker 1: So I think that's right. But you know, God bless
Speaker 1: for him for saying he's gonna.
Speaker 2: Try and he has entertainment.
Speaker 3: You know, he's he's Jack's light is what he is.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, he's Southern Jack's light exactly.
Speaker 1: That's right, He's Jack's light because he's not quite abusive
Speaker 1: Coquette level, but just maybe loud at Coquette and.
Speaker 2: She and Shep has some uh, he has some intellect
Speaker 2: in him, you know, he totally like he's a smart guy.
Speaker 2: And he has moments where he really shows that you
Speaker 2: wish you could do it more, but you know he
Speaker 2: can't control himself.
Speaker 1: No, he can't. That was interesting. I also went to
Speaker 1: the The Valley panel and.
Speaker 2: I went to one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that was the first.
Speaker 1: One, and I went to that one and it was
Speaker 1: it was really good. And later throughout the weekend, I
Speaker 1: met Jesse, Danny, Michelle. Those are the three that I met.
Speaker 1: I found Michelle to be delightful.
Speaker 2: I've never met Michelle, but I really like I'm more
Speaker 2: on Michelle's side of things than the Jesse side of
Speaker 2: things on the show, so I didn't get to meet
Speaker 2: her I met. I think the only value people that
Speaker 2: I met were Janet and Jason on the Red Carpet.
Speaker 1: How are they? They were good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I haven't I don't have an affinity for Janet,
Speaker 2: but I have a connection to her because we did
Speaker 2: an interview that again played into the show. Remember last season,
Speaker 2: it was at the top of the season, and we
Speaker 2: had never met before in person, and so it was
Speaker 2: kind of this funny moment where like she was kind
Speaker 2: of coming down the line with Jason on his crutches
Speaker 2: and I was like, Janet, we caused some drama, didn't we,
Speaker 2: you know, And she was I think when she looked
Speaker 2: fucking amazing. And I think that she My impression from
Speaker 2: her over the weekend is that like she's kind of
Speaker 2: at the point where I think she knows that a
Speaker 2: lot of the fans like don't really like her that much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and but she knows that she's a pretty good villain
Speaker 2: for the show. So I think that she she seems
Speaker 2: to be kind of leaning into that in a way,
Speaker 2: like her and Tamra posted a picture together like we'll
Speaker 2: be your villain, Like that's what I think at this
Speaker 2: point I kind of want from her, like, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: if that's the role she has found herself in and
Speaker 2: she's willing to do it, just lean in, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, like Stacy before her, just lean in.
Speaker 1: But I will say that somebody needs to get up
Speaker 1: at the panel and say, you know, everybody seems to
Speaker 1: have a redemption season and is yours coming, Janet, And
Speaker 1: she goes, no, I think if you didn't like me before,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna like me now. So no, yeah, And
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, let's be.
Speaker 2: Honest, and I think that she Yeah. I think that
Speaker 2: in real life she is not I would I would
Speaker 2: not consider to be the villain. I don't think she's
Speaker 2: actually really liked that, but like within the context of
Speaker 2: the show and being a Christian adversary, yeah, I think
Speaker 2: she's willing to play that role. And the audience is
Speaker 2: kind of always going to be on Kristin's side at
Speaker 2: least for right now.
Speaker 3: At least for right now, right just because we because she.
Speaker 2: Is, there's much a roof for there. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Speaking to vander Pump, I did not watch the trailer,
Speaker 1: nor did I watch the screener that I got.
Speaker 3: Have you watched either the trailer or the screener.
Speaker 2: I've watched the trailer, not the screener yet. The screener
Speaker 2: came the day after bravacn For me, I had a
Speaker 2: state farm thing during the when they screened it at
Speaker 2: the at Bravacon. But I heard they didn't play the
Speaker 2: full episode. I heard it was like only part of
Speaker 2: it or something. But uh, you know, I'm going to
Speaker 2: watch it. I'm gonna give it a chance, just like
Speaker 2: I did with a couple other shows that I wasn't
Speaker 2: excited for but ended up beeling good, like Next Gen,
Speaker 2: like The Valley, like Southern Hospitality. So you know, I'm
Speaker 2: I'm I have an open heart with it, but I
Speaker 2: think it's going to take a lot more to convince
Speaker 2: me that this group, in this new kind of reboot
Speaker 2: has That's what it takes the stack up, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know there's a big only fan storyline with one
Speaker 2: of them. That's that's all I sort of know about it.
Speaker 2: But oh it's a guy. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a guy.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well all right.
Speaker 1: I just I just feel like I think Mandy or
Speaker 1: somebody said, like, it would have been great if they
Speaker 1: would have named it like Second Shift or just something,
Speaker 1: you know, to sort of differentiate it. But as like
Speaker 1: they did the same to Roni, they just keep the
Speaker 1: same name.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, It's it's sort of like with Ronnie.
Speaker 2: It's like when they did the reboot. It was like
Speaker 2: it was season what like thirteen or fourteen, whatever it was,
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, it should have been in season one.
Speaker 2: Just like I agree, it's a second shift would have
Speaker 2: been amazing. Bander Pump Rules second shift like perfect, Like
Speaker 2: like just like you know, Love Island Beyond the Villa,
Speaker 2: you just add that sort of extra couple of words,
Speaker 2: and it does make it a different show, you know,
Speaker 2: even if it's the same premise.
Speaker 1: I will tell you that I ran in to.
Speaker 3: Zachary Reality.
Speaker 1: It's just like, you know, like everybody's handle, like I
Speaker 1: never know their actual name, Zachary Reality. And he was
Speaker 1: going to the next Gen panel and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just like I don't really watch the show, but
Speaker 1: I'm going because been in Ronnie you're hosting it. And
Speaker 1: he said, I'm waiting to get a text because Taylor
Speaker 1: Frankie Paul is in Vegas shooting for the Bachelorette a
Speaker 1: date and I'm waiting for the brewiser to tell me
Speaker 1: because I want to go to do like an interview.
Speaker 3: I was like, well, that sounds more exciting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in on the Bachelor World, so I hope
Speaker 2: he went and did that. I'm actually really excited for Taylor,
Speaker 2: Frankie Paul and the Boucherette. As a side note, I
Speaker 2: am too.
Speaker 1: I watched all of warmon wise while I was at
Speaker 1: Prova Con because at night, you go to your room
Speaker 1: and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, my god, oh my god, I didn't. I'm jealous
Speaker 2: you watch it. I was like in my mind, I
Speaker 2: was like, I am consciously just like putting that to
Speaker 2: next week to this week. Okay, yeah, yeah you didn't.
Speaker 2: I couldn't invent go down that road because I love
Speaker 2: that show, but so it needs my full attention, so
Speaker 2: I have not watched it yet.
Speaker 1: It was very a very good season and now I'm
Speaker 1: sad that it's over because I watched all of it
Speaker 1: in three days. You know, Oh my god, jealous, And
Speaker 1: I know I'm sad that I did that to myself.
Speaker 1: So if you have any recommendations shows, I'm looking for
Speaker 1: another a long wing to watch.
Speaker 3: But I gotta tell you, Okay, so give.
Speaker 1: Me at Bravo Con like your best, because you were
Speaker 1: interviewing people on the on the carpet, So tell me
Speaker 1: what was like your best one of your most surprising one.
Speaker 2: So I'm see I'm working on editing all, Like I
Speaker 2: basically had like a bunch of like two to three
Speaker 2: minute interviews, like they're they're pretty quick, you know, because
Speaker 2: they're going they're doing like so many outlets in an hour.
Speaker 2: But I got some really great people. I got Andy,
Speaker 2: which was really great to get, you know, and he
Speaker 2: you know, is familiar with me at this point, which
Speaker 2: was an it's a nice feeling. I would say. He
Speaker 2: was really generous with his time. Who else did I
Speaker 2: love to get some time with? I wish i'd got
Speaker 2: I got Lisa and Adriana from Miami. I wish i'd
Speaker 2: gotten them after their panel because their panel was like
Speaker 2: so chaotic and I think not a good way all
Speaker 2: because of Adriana doing that stunt she did. And I
Speaker 2: would have loved to hear from her. I would have
Speaker 2: loved to hear from an explanation from her about that.
Speaker 2: So that was that. Who else was great on the
Speaker 2: red carpet? Drusidora was really generous with her time And
Speaker 2: I find her place in Atlanta likely to be really
Speaker 2: interesting because she's sort of like in the middle there,
Speaker 2: but she's I think she's kind of constantly being hazed
Speaker 2: almost you know, she's kind of like she hasn't gotten
Speaker 2: She's like the Brittany Bait.
Speaker 1: She's like the Brittany Bateman of Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in a way, I think she's she hasn't like
Speaker 2: earned her stripes in some way still, even though she's
Speaker 2: been on for like four or five years. Yeah, who
Speaker 2: else did I chat with? I need to like literally
Speaker 2: look at my Instagram, like I literally I feel like
Speaker 2: I'm slowly regaining my brain cells.
Speaker 1: You know. Yes, yes, I just had to said, I
Speaker 1: said one hundred and fourteen pictures to my social media girl,
Speaker 1: and it took me. It took me an hour to
Speaker 1: get it down to that, just because so many of
Speaker 1: them were like the same exact picture. But in like,
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, yeah, I got to get
Speaker 1: the best ones. And I was like, oh no, I
Speaker 1: who forgot?
Speaker 2: You know, it's rare to get some time with Beverly
Speaker 2: Hills people in general, you know, And got Erica and
Speaker 2: Bose together on the red carpet, which was which was good.
Speaker 2: And literally, I I don't think I could tell you
Speaker 2: really what we talked about in any of these instances
Speaker 2: because it's so like, go go go. I probably did,
Speaker 2: like I probably did like twelve of these in an hour,
Speaker 2: you know, and just like you know, I kind of
Speaker 2: black out. Dolores had been really uh kind ahead of
Speaker 2: Bravo Con because I did a panel. I hosted a
Speaker 2: panel at the first Bravo Con with her and Teresa,
Speaker 2: and she was like, you know what, like I remember
Speaker 2: that and like I will always kind of appreciate you know,
Speaker 2: you being my first Bravo Con interview, and she's and
Speaker 2: I and I remember what I talked about with her
Speaker 2: because I think you you're on the press line, you
Speaker 2: sort of witness which people uh kind of respect that,
Speaker 2: like respect the media's role and like want to go
Speaker 2: down the whole line and not skip anybody. And she's
Speaker 2: like one of those top people who does that, and
Speaker 2: she really understands the game, and she understands that like
Speaker 2: without the fans, without the media, without the creators and
Speaker 2: podcasters and stuff, like, they wouldn't have nearly as much,
Speaker 2: you know, and she she's always had that appreciation, which
Speaker 2: I really it feels good, you know, it feels good
Speaker 2: to have that that recognized. I was on the last
Speaker 2: so the last day there was like a creator's red carpet,
Speaker 2: so it wasn't pressed. It was like in TikTok people
Speaker 2: and I wasn't on there, but I went into the
Speaker 2: room because I had a press pass and Chanelle Ian
Speaker 2: was in there, who was doing her social media correspondence
Speaker 2: for Bravo TV. Ye. She she didn't interview with me,
Speaker 2: and it was like she interviewed me and I was like,
Speaker 2: it was it was a chaotic five minutes of my time.
Speaker 2: Let me just tell you. And we know each other well,
Speaker 2: but it was like if they ever post that, I
Speaker 2: don't know what we'll make it in because it was
Speaker 2: all over the place in a good way.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I'm gonna have to ask you how do
Speaker 1: I get into that Creators?
Speaker 3: You know, I would love.
Speaker 1: To just like have like a two minute set to
Speaker 1: be able to do that, but it's like I don't
Speaker 1: know how to.
Speaker 2: I wasn't included in that. I wish I was just
Speaker 2: able to go into the room because I had my
Speaker 2: press pass on the previous two days. Yeah, I wasn't
Speaker 2: invited as part of the creator panel. Uh press line.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I gotta figure out how get invited. Well,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you seeing you all over the place
Speaker 1: living your best life, Okay, so tell me, Okay, So
Speaker 1: we were together at Margaret joseph ssary party. I think
Speaker 1: that party got like super fun after we left.
Speaker 2: It did. Yeah, we went to watch Trappings live, but
Speaker 2: I don't I don't regret going to watch Appons live either, neither,
Speaker 2: like I really enjoyed those tape things. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: think a lot of people showed up sort of as
Speaker 2: we were leaving or right after we left.
Speaker 1: And then the other party where I saw you, I
Speaker 1: mean I saw you all over the place. I saw
Speaker 1: you Ben and Ronnie's listener meet up because we'd had
Speaker 1: our listener meet up earlier before Amy Phillips show, and
Speaker 1: so then I actually like looked at decent. So I
Speaker 1: went out, but you know me, I wanted to go
Speaker 1: to bed. I wanted to get back in my bed
Speaker 1: with Mormon wives.
Speaker 2: But I was told you had to show off that lam.
Speaker 2: I had to shell off that lam. You were looking
Speaker 2: fab and.
Speaker 1: I was like, I got my makeup. Then I guess
Speaker 1: I'll go and take some pictures. Now, did you stay
Speaker 1: at that party late?
Speaker 2: I stayed at that for a little longer than you,
Speaker 2: I tad. I talked to Ryan Bailey for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I also there's a couple of people who listened
Speaker 2: to Gavin with Gibb who introduced themselves to me. So
Speaker 2: I talked to them for a bit and then I
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, I hadn't gone out. I'd
Speaker 2: gone to the water Trappens live taping to the previous
Speaker 2: two nights, and I'd been a good boy and gone
Speaker 2: back to my hotel to get something some and I
Speaker 2: was like, I was giving myself the green flag to
Speaker 2: the green light to go out that night. So I
Speaker 2: met Yes. So I took an uber to Piranho, which
Speaker 2: is a gay club, and Corey, who helped manage Meredith
Speaker 2: Marx and her djaying stuff, he had a table there
Speaker 2: and so it was like me, him and then a
Speaker 2: bunch of producers of the shows at a table. We
Speaker 2: weren't really talking about Bravo stuff. It was kind of
Speaker 2: like a you know, let's let awesome seem kind of vibe,
Speaker 2: but like, it's so funny. It was all these game
Speaker 2: men who produced a lot of the shows, you know,
Speaker 2: at this in the same place. It was kind of funny.
Speaker 2: Was there DeRosa Chris showed up, Yeah, okay, Kate Chastain
Speaker 2: showed up, Ashley Darby showed up after one am and
Speaker 2: she got greeted by like a go go dancer with
Speaker 2: a tequila bottle, and yeah, I don't it's a little
Speaker 2: bit blurry, but that was what I did later that night.
Speaker 1: But you were there on Sunday professional as always.
Speaker 2: You know what, getting up that morning, having to pack
Speaker 2: my bags to check out because check out was at eleven,
Speaker 2: but asked Andy was at ten fifteen. I had to
Speaker 2: record my podcast before that. That was a rough couple hours. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was rough, but we know what we we pushed
Speaker 2: through were fighters.
Speaker 1: And so you left Sunday night.
Speaker 2: I had a red eye Sunday night, and the Next
Speaker 2: Gen cast, the Next Gen cast was on my flight,
Speaker 2: all of them except for Georgia. They had they all
Speaker 2: had drinks before the flight at the bar across from
Speaker 2: the gate. And then I also saw Jackie, Doctor Jackie
Speaker 2: and Heavenly waiting Atlanta. A flight to Atlanta was boarding
Speaker 2: next to ours. I don't think it's I don't think
Speaker 2: it's a flight that Portia was on. It must have
Speaker 2: been a different one because I mean I didn't see her,
Speaker 2: and I feel like you would have seen her. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, those are my airport sightings.
Speaker 1: Well, on the way there, well, I told you also
Speaker 1: with the j SX with Ludacrous and Richard Marks and
Speaker 1: Daisy Point. But on the way home we had tea
Speaker 1: from Potomac was oh nice right by me and I
Speaker 1: didn't ever, you know, lots of people stopped on the
Speaker 1: way down and were like, did you have a nice sentence?
Speaker 1: She was super friendly to everyone. And then we were
Speaker 1: at baggage claim. I was like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: do it, like one last shot at DCA before you know,
Speaker 1: And I just went up and gave her our poker
Speaker 1: chip and was like, I said next year on the plane,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to bother you. I trying to tell you,
Speaker 1: you know, we we're local cover the show. If you

Speaker 1: go to the same gym? You know, do you ever
Speaker 1: go to the gym with Ashley? Because I'll see you there,
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But she just came in hot
Speaker 1: and the funny a TSA and I didn't know if
Speaker 1: you were ice. Hilarious, it's really funny. But I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: don't mind her if you want to come on my
Speaker 1: podcast sometime. But that was it. But the Porscha thing
Speaker 1: in one of the bravok on Facebook groups, I saw
Speaker 1: somebody say they were on that flight and that Porsche
Speaker 1: and these other people were in first and this person
Speaker 1: was a Delta Comfort one row back, so they were
Speaker 1: right there they could see the whole thing, and they
Speaker 1: said that apparently it was a woman on the flight
Speaker 1: that was like verbally assaulting Porsche who was just saying
Speaker 1: stuff back and it wasn't a housewife and that the
Speaker 1: other woman was the one that was in trouble and
Speaker 1: Porscha was just questioned because she was the one being
Speaker 1: verbally assaulted.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I mean, don didn't know what why was it just
Speaker 3: like a fan or what?
Speaker 1: Was it? Weird?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, it could be so many things, right,
Speaker 2: It's like, it could be a fan who doesn't like her.
Speaker 2: It could be a fan of one of her adversaries
Speaker 2: on the show. It could be somebody who just like
Speaker 2: thought that Porsche was getting special treatment, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Yeah, it could be. It could be a
Speaker 2: million things. Drunk, I mean, you're you're you're leaving Vegas
Speaker 2: on a Sunday, like somebody also could be just drunk
Speaker 2: and an idiot, you know.
Speaker 1: And be like you knocked my seat or something.
Speaker 2: Totally like it's it. There's so many things. So I
Speaker 2: hope that eventually Porscha comes out or maybe Porta will
Speaker 2: go and watch Happens Live or something and yes, tell
Speaker 2: us us the story.
Speaker 3: We always leave it to watch what happens, love to
Speaker 3: get the scoop. Always that's somebody else?
Speaker 1: Was that I've been talking I've been talking to people
Speaker 1: all day about this, somebody else said, hopefully so, and
Speaker 1: so we'll go and watch what happens Love and explain it.
Speaker 1: It was about Madison something.
Speaker 2: I hope that Madison explains exactly why Cy was a
Speaker 2: mean girl to her. Yeah, because Madison was on his
Speaker 2: Hollywood or something. I saw a clip and she was like,
Speaker 2: you know, Cy messes the wrong girl basically, but she
Speaker 2: nobody's asked her from what I've seen so far, like
Speaker 2: what did side to to you that night? What does
Speaker 2: she say specifically, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly that that
Speaker 2: made you think that she's the meanest person in the world.
Speaker 2: Because I believe Madison. I don't think she's randomly going
Speaker 2: to like target sigh as like being the meanest girl
Speaker 2: in the world.
Speaker 1: Like I believe she had.
Speaker 2: Experience with her. And you know, Cy has doubled down
Speaker 2: on her stance on it, which is like wild because
Speaker 2: she was initially accusing Madison of confusing her with somebody
Speaker 2: else and essentially being racist because of that, but she wasn't.
Speaker 2: Madison was not confusing her with somebody else, and so
Speaker 2: I think it's a little I think it's ridiculous that
Speaker 2: Si hasn't walked that part back right, but you know,
Speaker 2: she's kind of doubling down, So I think it's a
Speaker 2: bad look for cy. But I guess Madison did make
Speaker 2: the first public swing, but I had made a private
Speaker 2: swing in her.
Speaker 1: So but we don't know what.
Speaker 2: We don't know, we don't know what, we don't know what.
Speaker 1: No, we love a good Brava kondrama. I love the
Speaker 1: rumor going around that Sheena had punched a Southern Charm
Speaker 1: cast member backstage.
Speaker 2: That was a great I'm like a little yes, I'm
Speaker 2: like a little over like the constant just like fake
Speaker 2: rumors about Shea though I'm kind of like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm a little like exhausted by that. Like it's like
Speaker 2: you go to like you go to her comments on Instagram,
Speaker 2: and it's like people will like people will like celebrate
Speaker 2: the fact that like some other former person like that
Speaker 2: Carol or Camille were there, Like it's like, oh my god, great,
Speaker 2: like a former star is like back and like celebrated
Speaker 2: a Bravo con. Sina's there and the comments are like, Wow,
Speaker 2: you're so desperate you showed up to Bravo. Khan, You're
Speaker 2: not on the show anymore. And it's like she gets
Speaker 2: I just I'm kind of like just like over that
Speaker 2: like fan narrative about her. I understand that, I understand
Speaker 2: complete like why it's there, but I'm like, oh, I'm.
Speaker 3: Just like, I mean, she was invited and paid, just
Speaker 3: like everybody else.
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly. She she'll do this, she'll do very similar
Speaker 2: thing to somebody else, and just it's like it's like
Speaker 2: taken in the complete. I think it just shows that
Speaker 2: she should take some time away and like really back off,
Speaker 2: like for a little bit and really kind of like
Speaker 2: give give some people some like breathing room with her.
Speaker 2: I think that's part part of the problem, Like she
Speaker 2: has never really stopped.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, Yeah, you got you got mouths
Speaker 1: to feed.
Speaker 2: I know, totally.
Speaker 3: Why do you think Carol was there? Carol rides Well.
Speaker 2: I almost wonder if it was just sort of like
Speaker 2: her and Andy had made up recently, and maybe he
Speaker 2: like as a show of good faith to like really
Speaker 2: show that like he means that, like he does want
Speaker 2: to be on a good path with her, you know,
Speaker 2: because I feel like with Andy, it could if you're
Speaker 2: on the receiving end of that, maybe it could feel like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's just doing this to like kind of, you know,
Speaker 2: make his side of the fence clean or whatever. You know.
Speaker 2: But I feel like maybe he was just like, why
Speaker 2: don't you come to the twentieth anniversary taping? You know,
Speaker 2: like you were a big part of Ronie for a while.
Speaker 2: You know, it was kind of random that she was there.
Speaker 2: I would say, like, you know, she's she sticks out
Speaker 2: in like a group of Luyenne, Durinda Son and her.
Speaker 2: You know, but I love that she was there. You know,
Speaker 2: I think they me too. It was kind of what
Speaker 2: definitely was kind of random for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've now asked three people this and nobody knows
Speaker 1: the answer. So maybe you know the answer.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: They announced Ultimate Girls Trip road Trip and they said
Speaker 1: it's going to start the OC and stop at every place. Okay,
Speaker 1: what does it mean? Are we starting in the o
Speaker 1: C with Vicky and Tamra and they were gonna go
Speaker 1: style people.
Speaker 2: And then not provided any details. There's some there's rumors
Speaker 2: on who is on the cast. Have you have you
Speaker 2: seen these rumors?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: And I don't understand they're storing they're starting.
Speaker 1: Here and ending here, and you know you're starting in.
Speaker 2: The According to Mary Cosby's fan page on Twitter, which
Speaker 2: sounds ridiculous, but they actually randomly like post t a
Speaker 2: lot like I They'll have like they have some they
Speaker 2: have some inside source with information they will be they.
Speaker 1: Will maybe his cousin Joe.
Speaker 2: I don't know who it is that doesn't they They
Speaker 2: said they tweeted out alleged Real Housewives Ultimate Girls trip
Speaker 2: details Allegedly. Vicky Gunn Wilson and Teresa are confirmed to
Speaker 2: be on the cast, while Nini, Kyle, Giselle, Kim Zolziak,
Speaker 2: and Karen Juger have been approached to be on the cast.
Speaker 2: Louis that this is what this person has said, that
Speaker 2: they've been approached. And Nini was on Carlos King's podcast yesterday.
Speaker 2: I saw some clip and she was like, I'd be
Speaker 2: open to the opportunity. And Andy did say they texted recently,
Speaker 2: So I don't you know, people think that was kind
Speaker 2: of an Easter egg or like a little bit of
Speaker 2: a bread crumb. I mean, and maybe it's all It's
Speaker 2: always gonna be wishful thinking with Ninnie until it's actually
Speaker 2: something actually happens, you know. But I do kind of
Speaker 2: feel like that has really simmered. The temperature has gone
Speaker 2: down there a lot in that situation. M hm, and
Speaker 2: like there's a real like he doesn't even say Bethne's
Speaker 2: name anymore. They don't. They like nobody asked about Kenya.
Speaker 2: Nobody talked about Kenya this weekend, Like Nani's name was mentioned.
Speaker 2: So does I give you hope? I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 2: it's false hope, but it would be pretty cool. It'd
Speaker 2: be pretty cool. We'll see here on that.
Speaker 3: But that's a huge cast.
Speaker 1: So my question is, do you know if they're going
Speaker 1: to like I have had three people pick up, two
Speaker 1: people go a little bit, drop one person. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean?
Speaker 3: So the cast is sort of rotating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really have no clue how it's going to work.
Speaker 2: Only in an RV.
Speaker 1: So Gibson, I was hoping you knew the answer.
Speaker 2: I don't know the answer. I'm sorry, dang it.
Speaker 1: And then he also said about New York. He said,
Speaker 1: it is cast and they are starting to film.
Speaker 2: They haven't started filming, haven't started, Okay, yeah, but I would,
Speaker 2: I would. I get a pretty safe assumption that sy,
Speaker 2: Aaron and Jessel will be on that considering Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: And Brian Boylan put out his newsletter about Bravo con
Speaker 2: yesterday and he said that he's heard it's them three
Speaker 2: and three other people, three movies, three these.
Speaker 1: But I mean, could we could we throw Carol in?
Speaker 1: Could we just throw Carol?
Speaker 2: I don't think I'll do that. I think that I
Speaker 2: think that New Romney is one of those things that
Speaker 2: the network and Andy are just a little bit stubborn
Speaker 2: about in terms of like wanting to make a work
Speaker 2: and wanting to show that like they were not wrong
Speaker 2: to do so, you know.
Speaker 3: Even though the people are shouting.
Speaker 2: Yeah of course, I mean, of course, and I'm one
Speaker 2: of those people, but I just realistically, I don't think
Speaker 2: it's going to happen. Yeah, all right, she would work,
Speaker 2: she would she would work, Yeah, totally, because she's.
Speaker 1: Sort of.
Speaker 3: The right kind of fancy that they are.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I completely agree. And I think
Speaker 2: that she's like she lives a similar life like and
Speaker 2: I think that she's actually friends with Aaron and like
Speaker 2: she there are a lot of there's a lot of reasons.
Speaker 2: I also don't think she would want to do it.
Speaker 2: To be honest, I don't think she'd want to do it,
Speaker 2: But I.
Speaker 3: Don't think she wants to be on a show with
Speaker 3: Louis Ansonia either.
Speaker 2: I don't think she would be on that show. I
Speaker 2: don't even know she. I don't think she'd do that
Speaker 2: road trip show. I don't think Krol wants to be
Speaker 2: on reality TV. I think this is an opportunity for
Speaker 2: her to show that good some good faith with the
Speaker 2: Brava audience. She's really excited about the substack that she
Speaker 2: launched recently. That's like paywald everywhere you look, you know,
Speaker 2: And I think she sees that as a way to
Speaker 2: promote that almost and like that's kind okay. I don't.
Speaker 2: I really don't think she wants to be on reality
Speaker 2: TV anymore. That's sort of mine.
Speaker 3: Is your subsect?
Speaker 1: Writing? Is it her writing?
Speaker 2: It's mostly writing. I think she goes live on it
Speaker 2: sometimes or something on video. But I don't. I subscribe,
Speaker 2: but I don't. I don't pay, so I can't read
Speaker 2: like any of it. They're all paid. They're all paywalled. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're like.
Speaker 1: I subscribe, but I don't pay, so I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's great. At first, it wasn't paid. At first,
Speaker 2: you could you could read the first couple and then she,
Speaker 2: you know, good for her that page here.
Speaker 1: Listen. She doesn't need the money, but it's fine, okay,
Speaker 1: to our knowledge, to our knowledge exactly. Okay, So do
Speaker 1: you have any negative encounters you'd like to share?
Speaker 2: You're pretty I'll share. I'll share one interaction and then
Speaker 2: I and then I have to and then I got
Speaker 2: to sign off. Ah Angel from Potomac had messaged me
Speaker 2: ahead of the weekend and she was like, Hey, you're
Speaker 2: gonna be a Bravocon and I said, yeah, like would
Speaker 2: love I'd never met her before, Yeah, yeah, like would
Speaker 2: Love's yeah totally. I was like, yeah, like I I
Speaker 2: tweet about show a lot. Yeah, I'd love to, like,
Speaker 2: you know, would love to meet if we her paths
Speaker 2: cross or whatever. And then I had been out at
Speaker 2: a panel or something and came back to the press
Speaker 2: room and she was leaving the press line with Karna
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, hey, Angel, like it's it's me,
Speaker 2: like Gibson, like you messaged me or whatever. And she's like, oh, hey,
Speaker 2: are you finally gonna be nice to me again? Anyway?
Speaker 2: Are you finally gonna be nice to me? And I
Speaker 2: was like, I was like, what do you mean? I
Speaker 2: feel like I have I've been pretty fair, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: talking about the show. She's like, you've been You've been
Speaker 2: saying some not nice, some not so nice things about me.
Speaker 2: And I said, what are Do you have an example
Speaker 2: of something you thought was mean? She was like, oh no,
Speaker 2: I can't think. I can't think of any examples. And
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I was like, well, listen, I
Speaker 2: feel like you're new to the show. I only have
Speaker 2: the show to go off of when it comes to you.
Speaker 2: And I don't think I've been mean about you personally.
Speaker 2: I don't. I really don't think that if you think
Speaker 2: that something has been a little shady or you know whatever.
Speaker 2: But again, I go off the show, like I think
Speaker 2: about Like I tweeted about the filtered picture, you know,
Speaker 2: but that was but that was a side by side
Speaker 2: that the producers put up on that show. You know.
Speaker 2: I didn't make it myself, right. So I was like, listen,
Speaker 2: I listen. I'm happy to have this conversation if you
Speaker 2: want to have more of it. She was sort of
Speaker 2: on the go, but just know that I'm one of
Speaker 2: the nice ones. Okay, So if you think that I'm
Speaker 2: being mean, then I don't know. Yeah, I'm pretty fair
Speaker 2: and I'm pretty and I'm pretty like gracious when it
Speaker 2: comes to these shows, and I think at best, at worse,
Speaker 2: i'm like shady. But again, if if if she's the
Speaker 2: only person who thinks that that's great, that's her. That's whatever.
Speaker 2: But that was my one, that was my one interaction
Speaker 2: that was sort of along the lines. But whatever is
Speaker 2: what it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Aighty was your rose and Angel was your thorne.
Speaker 2: You know what I would say. That's like kind of
Speaker 2: like the like the top and the bottom of the
Speaker 2: hierarchy when it comes to the weekend. So I'll take it.
Speaker 2: I'll take it.
Speaker 3: Tell everybody where they can find you.

Speaker 2: times a week I did daily Bravo Con recaps over there,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to put out all my interviews from
Speaker 2: the Red Carpet. That's a big compilation episode, and then
Speaker 2: I'll do one more Bravo Con episode. I think people

Speaker 2: the week. But yeah, there was a lot of post

Speaker 4: sit for all the panels and stuff. But yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well me too.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I've had on to chat.

Speaker 1: been on.
Speaker 3: To discuss Smith's sisters.
Speaker 1: Love them so much, I adore them.
Speaker 4: I only saw Lauren. I think it was on Friday
Speaker 4: evening in the in the bizarre area. I'm bizarre and
Speaker 4: not bizarre, and I am just I am so fond
Speaker 4: of of all three Smith's sisters and Brooke, you know,
Speaker 4: Lauren's wife who I who was there? Who was there
Speaker 4: this past weekend too.
Speaker 1: Well, I I happened to just like walk past them.
Speaker 1: I've had Mariah on my show before and I just
Speaker 1: happened to walk past him and I saw them and
Speaker 1: I just did like a little do do like walk backers.
Speaker 1: I was a Hi sisters and they're like sister so
Speaker 1: and then Rachel came on to discuss her Bravo con
Speaker 1: as well, which was like getting everybody's different take is interesting,
Speaker 1: right because your take will be different because you got
Speaker 1: a backstage where I talked to Gibson and he was
Speaker 1: press and my friend Ace was also pressed, and then
Speaker 1: Mandy and I are just podcasters that attended as podcasters.
Speaker 1: So it's been really interesting talking to everybody getting their thing. Now.
Speaker 1: I would like to hear your best Bravo leb encounter
Speaker 1: and this should I know that you get to know
Speaker 1: a lot of them, so I'd like to know maybe
Speaker 1: one that you hadn't met before.
Speaker 4: Well, uh, you know it's for me. It started on
Speaker 4: the plane. Oh my god, yes, sweet, yeah, it was
Speaker 4: on my plane.
Speaker 1: You sent me a picture of one of the people
Speaker 1: on your plane.
Speaker 4: And I walked in. The first person I saw was
Speaker 4: Teddy Mellencamp, who I'd never met before, and but she
Speaker 4: definitely you know, because I don't I get nervous because
Speaker 4: I tend to fan girl a little bit, and I
Speaker 4: was like, just like cool, play cool, So it just
Speaker 4: was like just standing there she smiled and sort of
Speaker 4: beckoned for me. So then I was like, okay, I'm
Speaker 4: in over, and I introduced myself and she, you know,
Speaker 4: like although we had never met, she's come on Jeff
Speaker 4: Show a few times, and obviously Tamera I know very well,
Speaker 4: so she knew who I was and we just were
Speaker 4: chatting and she's very friendly. And then while we were
Speaker 4: sitting there, this woman with like ten shopping bags and
Speaker 4: this weird glitter in her hair showed up and Teddy
Speaker 4: was like, is that Kathy Hilton? And sure enough Kathy
Speaker 4: Hilton was on the flight, but she didn't come sit
Speaker 4: with us. But then Denise Richards walked in and she
Speaker 4: was on our flight, and then Tom Schwartz, Brittany Artwright,
Speaker 4: Kristin Dotye baby and husband. And then it turns out
Speaker 4: with her baby somebody from else from the Valley. I
Speaker 4: haven't seen that show yet, so somebody some guy maybe
Speaker 4: is there somebody whose name BECAMESE of the letter J.
Speaker 3: There's Jesse.
Speaker 4: Jesse maybe so maybe Jesse. So that that was like
Speaker 4: going to Vegas and Denise I feel very comfortable with
Speaker 4: because I've done Jeff Show with her for a few times.
Speaker 4: And she sat next to me, and so we chatted
Speaker 4: for a little bit and I was like, okay. So
Speaker 4: then I got to my hotel and for this backstage pass,
Speaker 4: you had to go to the Four Seasons like their
Speaker 4: hospitality room to pick it up at four pm. So
Speaker 4: I got to the Four Seasons and in the bar,
Speaker 4: everybody was there like having their lunch. It was now
Speaker 4: probably four o'clock, maybe three point thirty, so every like
Speaker 4: there's Vicky Gunfilson, and I know Vicky obviously very well,
Speaker 4: so I'm like, yeah, Vicky. And then there was this
Speaker 4: really nice group of gals from who were there for
Speaker 4: a pharmaceutical convention, and they had like the couch in
Speaker 4: the center, and even though it was only supposed to
Speaker 4: be for I guess Four Seasons guests, they were like,
Speaker 4: we are not moving. So I sat with they treated
Speaker 4: me to a diet coke, Thank you Chill for that.
Speaker 4: And then I saw Michael Beck and so like all
Speaker 4: these people were there and so that was also thrilling.
Speaker 4: Then I went to the hospitality room and who is
Speaker 4: online behind me but Heather Gay, whom I've never met,
Speaker 4: and so I had her go in front. I was like,
Speaker 4: you're a little more important than me, so she went first.
Speaker 4: But she and I chatted and she was very cool
Speaker 4: and gracious and fun, and we talked about being inline
Speaker 4: versus being online because that's a New Yorker I guess
Speaker 4: I grew up and so we were just like, that's
Speaker 4: what we were chatting about. So I was already by
Speaker 4: the time I just got my backstage thing and then
Speaker 4: went to Amy Phillips show. I felt like I had
Speaker 4: already seen enough, you know, So it was that was amazing.
Speaker 4: And then throughout the weekend I met, you know, I
Speaker 4: met a lot of people. Katie, Jeanette, Janella GM who
Speaker 4: was absolutely stunning. She introduced herself to me, and I
Speaker 4: saw a Fraser. I mean I really I saw everybody,
Speaker 4: and Jennifer Pedronti and Ryan I saw them backstage and
Speaker 4: we chatted. We had had a really, really fun dinner
Speaker 4: once in New York, and it was a highlight for
Speaker 4: me to meet Melissa and Joe Gorga. I signed up
Speaker 4: for a photo op with them. I bought Melissa's Sprinkle cookies,
Speaker 4: but I had never met her, and she and Joe
Speaker 4: have done Jeff Show a few times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I never met them. How are the
Speaker 3: Sprinkle cookies sidebar.
Speaker 4: Her sprinkle cookies are legit delicious.
Speaker 1: Okay, they were.
Speaker 4: Shipped across country. I paid, you know, I used code
Speaker 4: Jeff or whatever it was. They came like five days later.
Speaker 4: They were legitimately delicious cookies, highly recommend.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, they were.
Speaker 4: But they were friendly and fun and cool. And then
Speaker 4: I saw Delares and Polly and I had signed up
Speaker 4: for a photo op with them, and I saw them
Speaker 4: like backstage also and just I get the warmest feelings
Speaker 4: from them.
Speaker 1: Truly, Lauris, everybody has the most amazing things to say
Speaker 1: about Dolores always.
Speaker 4: I agree. I was saying that too, I think to
Speaker 4: Shane Douglas this morning, like or it was to Ryan Bailey.
Speaker 4: I saw Ryan, Ryan, did everybody has that story about Dolores,
Speaker 4: that they have this special feeling and the special relationship.
Speaker 4: And isn't that just the greatest testament to her that
Speaker 4: everybody you meet who has met Dolores pops out saying
Speaker 4: what an incredible person she is. I truly can't say
Speaker 4: enough about how great she makes me feel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, now, did you sit at any panels besides,
Speaker 1: like if you were going to see like what Jeff
Speaker 1: was doing. Did you sit on any panels?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we went to We went to the Valley panel
Speaker 4: yet the very first one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went to the Valley I think I was
Speaker 3: texting you are you here?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was there. I was at the Valley panel.
Speaker 4: I went to all three panels that Jeff did. We
Speaker 4: went to part of a below deck, which there was
Speaker 4: one that we had to leave early for our photo op.
Speaker 4: And now I can't remember which one it was. It
Speaker 4: wasn't Salt Lake City, wasn't. I went to probably five.
Speaker 3: Panels though, Oh really, see, I just went to a few.
Speaker 1: And it's sort of like in the moment if you're
Speaker 1: doing something else, you're like, oh, you got to leave
Speaker 1: go this panel. You don't really want to. I went
Speaker 1: to the Southern Charm panel, which is kind of interesting
Speaker 1: because you could really tell, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've ever watched Southern Charm.
Speaker 4: But you could sort of out at the beginning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you could really tell between Craig and Austin
Speaker 1: that there's really no good feelings there. You could really
Speaker 1: tell that it was very tense. Something has happened between
Speaker 1: the two of them, and you know, wouldn't be a
Speaker 1: Bravo gone if we didn't have a drunk shep story,
Speaker 1: So you know those came out.
Speaker 4: You know that video of him talking just I don't
Speaker 4: know who was he talking to.
Speaker 1: About my understanding for my Finn Mandy was that in
Speaker 1: the video with him was another a guy that was
Speaker 1: from Southern Hospitality, which I haven't watched, and he was
Speaker 1: sort of kind of like okay, like he was just
Speaker 1: talking to some listeners or watchers, viewers, yeah, strangers, just
Speaker 1: some Bravo fans. And that's what he did two years
Speaker 1: ago where he got in so much trouble. He was
Speaker 1: his mouth and off and being very aggressive towards strangers. Now,
Speaker 1: I had a twenty twenty two interaction with him a
Speaker 1: Bravo con in New York where he basically, you know,
Speaker 1: felt me up.
Speaker 3: He was like all over me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really, not because he was like trying to pick
Speaker 1: me up, just because I was. He was like kind
Speaker 1: of passed out in a booth and he had a
Speaker 1: friend that was trying to like get him up, and
Speaker 1: he's really big to be passed out in a booth and.
Speaker 4: All those Southern trauma Craig Austin, Yeah, when you walk
Speaker 4: into the room you see them first because they are
Speaker 4: a full head.
Speaker 1: They're tall with everybody else and these girls at the bar,
Speaker 1: we're saying, oh, I'm kind of dying to be eat
Speaker 1: chuffels like that guy that's like slovenly passed out in
Speaker 1: a booth. But all right, I go, I'll go over there.
Speaker 1: So you know, I went over. These are like young girls.
Speaker 1: So I walked over. It was like, hello, excuse me,
Speaker 1: these girls when and then I and then I just
Speaker 1: started talking to him about a shared love for Baldhead
Speaker 1: Island in North Carolina where we have a house, and
Speaker 1: he's friends with the guy that owns a store there,
Speaker 1: and so it's kind of just like, okay, well it's
Speaker 1: nice to meet you, just get a you know, picture whatever.
Speaker 1: But he went full in like arms around me like
Speaker 1: all I mean, the pictures I have are not cute
Speaker 1: because it's me going like you know, of course, So
Speaker 1: I think he gets a talking to every Bravo con
Speaker 1: and I think.
Speaker 3: He shapes up for a little bit.
Speaker 1: But then you say, what a shame, Well it is.
Speaker 4: It's just a shame. Like you know, you want everybody,
Speaker 4: you just want everybody to have an amazing experience. And
Speaker 4: so if he made it uncomfortable for anybody else or
Speaker 4: even just for him, like if you're at a point
Speaker 4: where you know, last time he had to be escorted
Speaker 4: out or whatever. Just yeah, I think he was drunk
Speaker 4: or something. It's like, you know, I'm also much older,
Speaker 4: and so I feel like at my age, just you know,
Speaker 4: you don't you don't want to be associated with that.
Speaker 1: Yes, agree, And that's probably too, probably like younger people
Speaker 1: like it's fun. I'm like, he is in his forties,
Speaker 1: you know, he's.
Speaker 4: Not like that young, but even forties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well to me too. You know, well, did you
Speaker 1: have any interactions that were uncomfortable or did you witness
Speaker 1: anything that you found was like unsavory or.
Speaker 4: Other than Jeff's paddles. No, I don't think so. I
Speaker 4: think I had just a an enchanted weekend. I was
Speaker 4: with a really really good friend of mine that I
Speaker 4: don't get to see in person very often. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: we just we had the best time. I mean we
Speaker 4: did go off campus to go to the Wizard of
Speaker 4: Oz at the Sphere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how was that?
Speaker 3: Because I wanted to go but nobody would go and.
Speaker 4: See it was great. I mean it's different from seeing
Speaker 4: the Wizard of Oz, like, you know, they y cted it.
Speaker 4: The whole thing is seventy five minutes, and they've added
Speaker 4: a lot of extra stuff to the tornado. And you know,
Speaker 4: these apples drop from the ceiling when when the apple
Speaker 4: trees are throwing apples at Dorothy and Gang, these foam
Speaker 4: kind of little apples. The woman next to me got
Speaker 4: two of them, and then somebody told me that those
Speaker 4: cell but like one hundred and fifty bucks each. Now
Speaker 4: I really should have pulled one out of her hand.
Speaker 4: But it was a it was a great experience and
Speaker 4: from Bravo Coon you could just walk unfortunately pouring and
Speaker 4: so we were absolutely soaking wet by the time we
Speaker 4: got there. But you know, yeah, for me, there was
Speaker 4: no no what did they say, a thorn, rose and thorn,
Speaker 4: they were no. Yeah, I everything, And I thought that
Speaker 4: the staff, like the people who were working at Bravo Con,
Speaker 4: everybody was friendly. Everybody was just like in a good mood.
Speaker 4: So I didn't have a single, a single negative experience.
Speaker 1: Well, you probably didn't buy any of the Bravo Palooza's
Speaker 1: the little small rooms where you can go in and you.
Speaker 4: Have I didn't have. I didn't buy any add ons,
Speaker 4: like you know, I was spending enough money.
Speaker 1: I thought, oh yeah, it's a lot. Well, last two
Speaker 1: years ago we had a Bravo Palooza every day, and
Speaker 1: this year we just got the one and that was fine,
Speaker 1: but it is nice.
Speaker 4: Who was in yours?
Speaker 1: So I had Sudden and Marisol and Alexia, two summer
Speaker 1: house guys that I didn't know. And now I don't
Speaker 1: watch Mary de Meat. I mean I used to, but
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it in years. But doctor Contessa and
Speaker 1: her husband were in there and we didn't know.
Speaker 3: Who they were.
Speaker 1: They were literally just sort of sitting hanging out by us,
Speaker 1: so we become like buddies with them. Took a picture
Speaker 1: they couldn't have I mean, like, I was like, I've
Speaker 1: ever want somebody on. I think she would definitely remember
Speaker 1: because she was like showing me a picture like, I'm
Speaker 1: such a change stresses. Do you think I should change
Speaker 1: her eye panel?
Speaker 3: Should I wear this? Should I keep this on? I
Speaker 3: was like, well a lot.
Speaker 1: Of people have a picture with you in this, maybe
Speaker 1: you should change and they were they were great.
Speaker 4: Are you just because I actually don't know anything about
Speaker 4: the Bravo paloozas that's so that's like a separate room. Yeah,
Speaker 4: the IP lounge, it was in its own space.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And were you just is it just like a small cocktail.
Speaker 1: Party, yes, because they give you two drink tickets when
Speaker 1: you walk in, and they have passed apps the whole time. Okay,
Speaker 1: And the Bramo celebrities, they do have these little like
Speaker 1: many step in repeats that they're kind of just a
Speaker 1: step on and then you line up ish. But like
Speaker 1: also Jesse from The Valley was mingling around and then
Speaker 1: they sort of and then Brianna not Brianna, Brielle Bierman
Speaker 1: and Gia Judice were in there, and they were they
Speaker 1: did the little step and repeat for a bit, but
Speaker 1: then they just sort of mingled around. Lisa Barlow came in,
Speaker 1: she wasn't mingling, and but Marisol came in and just
Speaker 1: went directly to a corner and sat in a chair
Speaker 1: and she was not to be bothered to stand on
Speaker 1: a step and repeat or mingle. So I went right
Speaker 1: over because Marisol is probably one of my favorite housewives
Speaker 1: of all time. And when she walked in, ingers like
Speaker 1: it's happening, your favorite is here? I was like what,
Speaker 1: So I just went over.
Speaker 4: Instead, you know before is that true?
Speaker 1: You don't know, you don't know. It could be a
Speaker 1: room full of people you've never heard of, but generally
Speaker 1: from our experience last year, we knew it would be
Speaker 1: a good mix of housewives married to med below deck,
Speaker 1: a southern charm, you know, summer house show. So some
Speaker 1: shows you watch with some shows you don't. But you're
Speaker 1: going to get a few housewives, you know.
Speaker 4: So when you're buying sorry, when you're buying your Bravo Bluza,
Speaker 4: you're choosing based when.
Speaker 1: It is versus Okay, Yeah, you have no idea who,
Speaker 1: no idea who, And it is a very small room
Speaker 1: and so I think they only have maybe the whole
Speaker 1: room is probably like one hundred people total.
Speaker 4: Yeah ratio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you could get to the bar, you
Speaker 1: can get your drinks and then they don't take your
Speaker 1: drink sick because you could get six drinks if you want.
Speaker 1: But it's only an hour to.
Speaker 4: Fifteen minutes an hour fifteen.
Speaker 1: So in that room we felt two years ago it
Speaker 1: was extremely unorganized and people didn't know where to stand.
Speaker 1: And then people are getting mad and it's like you're
Speaker 1: a small room like that and people are getting tense
Speaker 1: because they want this picture whatever. This year was way
Speaker 1: more organized, and there was this one guy staff that
Speaker 1: was running around that looked like his hair was on fire,
Speaker 1: I mean, and so kind of. I said at the end,
Speaker 1: Ingrid and I said, we're concerned.
Speaker 3: Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Like you we don't your blood freshure's got to be
Speaker 1: very high, Like we're concerned. He's like what. So he
Speaker 1: ended up talking to him and he was so great,
Speaker 1: and he said, the thing about these events is they
Speaker 1: can at the last minute decide not to come. They
Speaker 1: can say I'm hungover, I'm tired, and they don't have
Speaker 1: to come, so we're I think that the goal is
Speaker 1: to have you know, ten Bravo lebs in there, and
Speaker 1: there's two rooms, there's Diamonds and Rose and they sort
Speaker 1: of rotate them in and out, so like Lisa Barlow
Speaker 1: wasn't in our room the whole time, and neither Sutton
Speaker 1: or Marisol were not in our room the whole time,
Speaker 1: so they rotate them. So I think that if they
Speaker 1: don't have enough people to rotate, then that was making
Speaker 1: him stressed because he was trying to explain it to us.
Speaker 1: But I was like, well, you're doing a great job.
Speaker 1: I was like, we did do this two years ago.
Speaker 1: Well this is way more organized, and he was very
Speaker 1: happy to hear our feedback. But yeah, they passed around
Speaker 1: delicious apps, way better than the vip lounge, which doesn't
Speaker 1: pass around as many apps as they pretend to.
Speaker 4: I was. I was offered one app in that vip
Speaker 4: lounge which was like a shrimp something shooter, and I thought.
Speaker 1: I had one like veggie spring roll, and I had
Speaker 1: one little polenta with a short rib on top that
Speaker 1: was delicious read.
Speaker 4: I just thought of my my thorn.
Speaker 1: Okay, diet PEPSI agree.
Speaker 4: Not for me. That was the biggest thorn of the
Speaker 4: whole weekend was that I couldn't get a diet coke
Speaker 4: at any of the Caesars Proper or Paris or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4: Horrendous for me.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 1: Every time you go and like can I get a
Speaker 1: diet coke? And then you when they start to go
Speaker 1: is diet You're gonna Nope?
Speaker 4: Is not okay? A lot of them no, because I
Speaker 4: would I would say, like I remember the first time
Speaker 4: at Caesars and then the first time at Paris because
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that they were owned by the same Yeah,
Speaker 4: and she goes it's diet.
Speaker 3: And you're like, I'll take a.
Speaker 4: Tea when I said, or sparkling water. Yeah, but the
Speaker 4: four seasons had diet.
Speaker 1: Coke, of course it did. Did any have died Doctor
Speaker 1: Pepper because that's my favorite?
Speaker 4: Oh no, but you know I have that in my fridge.
Speaker 1: It's so good.
Speaker 4: And you come to my house, Mary Payne, I give
Speaker 4: you your choice of still or sparkling water, okay, and
Speaker 4: then I have those mini cans diet coke or ginger
Speaker 4: Ale or die Dr Pepper.
Speaker 1: I mean, what is Sophie's choice.
Speaker 3: There's so many good choices. What I choose?
Speaker 1: You know, I was in La. I was in LA
Speaker 1: for three days before before Bravo con.
Speaker 4: Hey, you said you went to Vegas from La.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1: We flew in and I went to I recorded with
Speaker 1: Heather at her house McDonald and then I also went
Speaker 1: out to the OC and saw two friends of Kate Casey,
Speaker 1: another podcaster, and Kimberly Yeah. And then Kimberly from a
Speaker 1: Date with Dayline also lives out in the ocs. I've
Speaker 1: never been to the OC, so I was like, let's
Speaker 1: go see what's happening out there. We took a picture
Speaker 1: in front of the woman.
Speaker 4: But of course.
Speaker 3: I asked Kate.
Speaker 1: I was like, will you go inside and lick the
Speaker 1: window and let me take a picture and she said no.
Speaker 1: I was like, I pretend. She's like, do not do it?
Speaker 1: But I had urban to the OC. Wow, what a
Speaker 1: way to live there in the OC. Huh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of towns in the O C
Speaker 4: like it's.
Speaker 1: It's We were in Newport.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's beautiful. I had only recently, maybe two years ago,
Speaker 4: with Monica Casey, walked around the actual town of Newport
Speaker 4: and it was beautiful.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. Yeah, And my friend Kimberly actually is from
Speaker 1: Dana Point, which I guess is more south. But she
Speaker 1: came up and we got.
Speaker 3: I got to go to Kate Casey's house and see
Speaker 3: all five of her kids.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, she has my cheese. I think that's right, kay, Casey,
Speaker 4: she has my cheese because she's she's we've talked about
Speaker 4: cooking kibbets before. Okay, She's like, yeah, I don't eat cheese.
Speaker 4: I was like, I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. But that's okay. To each his
Speaker 1: own maybe that's why she's like, then, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We got to I got to hang out with Ryan
Speaker 1: quite a bit. Did you guys, Did you guys do
Speaker 1: Jeff from there?
Speaker 4: I didn't Jeff, Jeff didn't know. Ryan didn't do it either.
Speaker 4: Jeff did did one show on Friday, well, you know,
Speaker 4: two hours. The second hour was Lisa Barlow. The first
Speaker 4: hour was also was Two Housewives with Marisol.
Speaker 1: And Alexia amazing.
Speaker 4: That was the first hour, and the second hour was
Speaker 4: Lisa Barlow. Most Serious has an actual studio at the
Speaker 4: Win Hotel.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Radio Andy and I remember last Bravo Con, Radio Andy
Speaker 4: had zero integration. They just they weren't. They didn't take
Speaker 4: any part of it. This year, Radio Andy set up
Speaker 4: a full day of live programming and so Julia Cunningham
Speaker 4: was there, she did her show. I'm assuming Kiki did
Speaker 4: Reality Check, but maybe not. But the Smith sisters were
Speaker 4: live and so all the Radio Andy hosts were able
Speaker 4: to do a show out of the wind studio. And
Speaker 4: then Jamison was there to help produce, and I forget
Speaker 4: who else went from radio and I know Lisa from
Speaker 4: New York was there, you know, shoot the Boss and
Speaker 4: then you know they were also able to do and
Speaker 4: Andy was able. Oh no, Andy didn't go live. He
Speaker 4: didn't do Andy Cohen live. But they were able to
Speaker 4: be on the Red Carpet in that media room and
Speaker 4: have tons of interviews, so they were able to put
Speaker 4: together like full programming, you know, from the Red Carpet
Speaker 4: in addition to having the shows on Radio Andy. So
Speaker 4: I thought it was great that they were there.
Speaker 1: Poor Jamison, he's just work, work, work, and I saw
Speaker 1: him he looked tired.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he he works a lot. And he was in
Speaker 4: that media room, you know, he was interviewed people, but
Speaker 4: also he has to cut together all those things, and
Speaker 4: they were it was like a short staff, so that
Speaker 4: he just was super busy. And he was staying at
Speaker 4: the Venetian, which had no.
Speaker 1: Water on Somebody told me that that they didn't have water.
Speaker 1: So like I'm trying to like wash my hair to
Speaker 1: come to Bravo con. I could even barely brush my
Speaker 1: teeth on Friday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the water got shut off at six twenty two am,
Speaker 4: I think, and it didn't come on until four thirty pm.
Speaker 4: So I think today on the radio, Jamison was saying
Speaker 4: like he was like, well, I have to go to
Speaker 4: the bath so he he was like, I'm not waiting
Speaker 4: for everybody to go over to the wind together, like
Speaker 4: I'm going now, Yeah.
Speaker 1: He had you can't blush the toilet? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: What there?
Speaker 4: Because I was at Caesars, which is, you know, close
Speaker 4: enough to Yeah, Bravo Con was, and I said, like,
Speaker 4: you know, if you need just call, you know, let
Speaker 4: me know, text me, I'll walk over to the hotel
Speaker 4: with you. But he was fine because obviously they had facilities,
Speaker 4: you know, at Bravo Con. So he was fine.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, James in his bathroom. Oh well, anybody's
Speaker 1: saying at the Venetian that's crazy and a lot.
Speaker 4: Of people do, I mean, well beyond just Provo Con
Speaker 4: obviously the Venetian has thousands of rooms.
Speaker 3: So yeah, ooh, that's kind of a nightmare for a
Speaker 3: Vegas hotel.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: That rain was crazy too, you guys, you don't understand,
Speaker 1: like it doesn't rain in Vegas and it rained four
Speaker 1: at that time, it rained for two days straight. So
Speaker 1: you know, Ryan and I had our event together and
Speaker 1: it was a very low turnout, and I was I
Speaker 1: just said, anybody, like I could understand you had to
Speaker 1: walk from all the way down there, down to hard Rock,
Speaker 1: which is close to the MGM. Grand I was like,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, almost a mile in the I
Speaker 1: mean sheets of rain, streets flooded situation.
Speaker 4: Not only because of that, like, yes, all the streets
Speaker 4: were flooded, getting around was a disaster. On top of
Speaker 4: that because of the f one, which is I think, yeah,
Speaker 4: a lot of the roads are and entrance ways are closed.
Speaker 4: Even just getting across the street is. And then on
Speaker 4: top of that, you had a lot of people, including
Speaker 4: my friend George, whose flights had been canceled. Right, So
Speaker 4: Georgia's flight into Vegas was canceled and his flight out
Speaker 4: of Vegas was canceled, so instead of flying home on Sunday,
Speaker 4: he had to fly Saturday night. He was supposed to
Speaker 4: be with me on Saturday night at Ben and Ronnie's. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I saw you, but he had to get to the
Speaker 4: airport to fly home otherwise, you know, because he was
Speaker 4: flying back east. You lose a whole day when you're flying,
Speaker 4: and so he couldn't wait until Sunday night or Monday.
Speaker 4: So I think the turnout was because of this motion
Speaker 4: at my front door. The turnout is because there's I
Speaker 4: think all of those things made it impossible.
Speaker 1: For it impossible. It was forty minutes for us to
Speaker 1: get from Paris down to hard Rock Cafe, and it's career.
Speaker 1: I see him. Yeah, it was only point nine miles.
Speaker 1: But you know, I was trying to like, look cute,
Speaker 1: I want, trying to be like a drowned rat from
Speaker 1: my own.
Speaker 4: Event when happened.
Speaker 3: But OK, but we both saw Amy Phillips show, which
Speaker 3: was great.
Speaker 4: You went Saturday, No, you Wenturday Thursday.
Speaker 1: I would encourage anybody ever if Amy Phillips is in
Speaker 1: your town, is she does a cabare Amy. It's so
Speaker 1: she's so, so.
Speaker 3: So creative. You know, I'm always oppressing people.
Speaker 4: I was talking with her on the phone, like, you know,
Speaker 4: she is one of the greatest performers, you know, all
Speaker 4: of the improvin all of her acting and just you know,
Speaker 4: it's it is such an incredible skill and she is
Speaker 4: so gifted. And I you know, I know people say
Speaker 4: like I'd watched somebody read the phone Book, like I
Speaker 4: get it. With Amy, I just yeah, whatever she whatever
Speaker 4: she tries to do, is going to work.
Speaker 3: She came last Oh god, I guess this year.
Speaker 1: I can't even like, we did a podcast movement and
Speaker 1: I was on a panel, and so I invited her
Speaker 1: to come to the panel because the panel that we
Speaker 1: usually do has a lot of reality TV podcasters, Like,
Speaker 1: let's get a Bravo person, let me see if Amy

Speaker 4: where I was standing out of you, and I just
Speaker 4: zoomed in on you. You texted it to you, just
Speaker 4: to show like I can see you. You're standing about
Speaker 4: thirty feet away from me. But it was so loud
Speaker 4: and crazy.

Speaker 4: so all baked good products or whatever were flagged and
Speaker 4: you had to they stopped and they had to go

Speaker 1: I like a fanny pack like that to wear crossbody
Speaker 1: when I walk the dogs retreats. Even you don't have pockets,
Speaker 1: they're very good. They're cross By. That's kind of a
Speaker 1: tiny one for crossbody I don't know. We just go
Speaker 1: around my neck. Maybe it wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Last time I bought a tote bag and I feel
Speaker 4: like I bought something and maybe a battery like for
Speaker 4: your phone. Maybe something. This year I bought because my
Speaker 4: friend's flight was canceled and he was supposed to come
Speaker 4: to Amy's show. I bought some Amy Phillips swag and
Speaker 4: go good my friend George's bed for when he arrived.
Speaker 1: That was nice I did.
Speaker 3: He was lovely.
Speaker 1: We chatted a little bit because I had my twenty
Speaker 1: one season branded bag for a pink shade from last year.
Speaker 4: Oh that was my mother who just called, but she
Speaker 4: hung up, so.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was a butt dial.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, we were just discussing our elderly parents.
Speaker 4: If my mom calls back the way, I do have
Speaker 4: to answer.
Speaker 1: Okay, I understand. She is eighty nine years old.
Speaker 4: She is my mother.
Speaker 1: She is your mother, as we say in the South,
Speaker 1: your mother. Well, Doug, if you don't have anything negative
Speaker 1: to tell me, then.
Speaker 4: You know that it's difficult for me to the only
Speaker 4: negative thing was to die coke. I think that was it.
Speaker 4: That's a big one, even you know, like when I
Speaker 4: checked out, they charged me fifty nine dollars ninety cents
Speaker 4: for the mini bar. But I didn't take or touch
Speaker 4: that mini bar. So but when I went, I tried
Speaker 4: to check out on the app, but you couldn't like
Speaker 4: fight the charge and like call us after I was
Speaker 4: like nuh. So I went down to the front desk
Speaker 4: and I said, you know, mini bar, and the one
Speaker 4: was like okay, Like she removed it right away. There
Speaker 4: are don't issues. I was like slightly insulted by the
Speaker 4: woman who seated me to breakfast at the Kathay and
Speaker 4: Mary Ken or whatever it was called. When she was
Speaker 4: bringing me to her table, and then she stopped in
Speaker 4: the middle and she goes, you know, you may be
Speaker 4: more comfortable at the bar since you're all alone. And
Speaker 4: I was like okay, and so sat at the bar.
Speaker 4: That was it. She wasn't but she wasn't unfriendly And
Speaker 4: I don't mind sitting at the bar. I didn't have
Speaker 4: I have nothing bad to say.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not trying to get you say something bad.
Speaker 1: It's just sometimes you have like a like a rude
Speaker 1: interaction with a Bravo LB or something.
Speaker 4: And nobody was rude. Everybody was was fun and I
Speaker 4: was I kept my cool, Like when I hugged Joe
Speaker 4: Gorga and when Fraser ran like we were we were
Speaker 4: backstage and he was about to go do something. He
Speaker 4: ran over. He said Doug, and we hugged and then
Speaker 4: he ran away, and I was just like, god, look
Speaker 4: I can be cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah you could be cool.
Speaker 1: That's fun. Yeah, you're so funny.
Speaker 3: Joe Gorga very short.
Speaker 4: Huh short but uh generous of spirit? Is that right?
Speaker 4: Is that what I want to say?
Speaker 3: Short is stature, tall in personality?
Speaker 4: How about that?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: And just a warm and friendly guy. And you know,
Speaker 4: I didn't feel rushed by anybody. I just Margaret Josephs.
Speaker 4: I saw Margaret very briefly, but like you know, there
Speaker 4: are and I never saw Jennifester.
Speaker 1: We were texting, but everybody had very nice. Every single
Speaker 1: person had nice thing to say about Jen Fessler. Every
Speaker 1: person that came across or had nice things to say.
Speaker 4: Absolutely a doll and the gall was there running her
Speaker 4: f major booth for the shoes. Her name was Megan.
Speaker 4: She was really nice. I went over said hello to her.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I just thought like everybody was everybody got
Speaker 4: the assignment, and I didn't see I didn't see anybody,
Speaker 4: you know, like arguing or or having or giving anybody
Speaker 4: a hard time either, you know, And I just was
Speaker 4: like sitting alone for much of the time, especially backstage.
Speaker 4: I just watching everybody have their little you know, mini
Speaker 4: reunions with each other, and that juxtaposition of being in
Speaker 4: this utilitarian corridor. Yeah, all the workers are pushing their
Speaker 4: cards and and there's so much behind the scenes catering
Speaker 4: action happening, and at the exact same time watching these
Speaker 4: glam squads, you know, touch up these women and fix
Speaker 4: their sequence. That to me was like an amazing site
Speaker 4: to see, you know, just this the surrounding of the
Speaker 4: talent with their quuff and they're fixing while somebody's like
Speaker 4: pushing the trays. I thought that was just a great symbol,
Speaker 4: you know, of what was happening.
Speaker 1: You could have gotten an artsy photo of that, you know,
Speaker 1: with somebody to a video.
Speaker 4: It's on my Instagram at Doug Butden the last thing
Speaker 4: on my f from Bravo.
Speaker 1: Com okay, because that would be interesting too, because I mean,
Speaker 1: you getting to go back stages. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: a pretty rare.
Speaker 4: That was a game changer, Like, yeah, and since my
Speaker 4: friend George didn't have that. Like, I didn't want to go,
Speaker 4: you know, spend too much time. I did want to
Speaker 4: make sure I was with Jeff before his panels and stuff.
Speaker 4: So George and I would save seats. And then I said,
Speaker 4: let me run back stage. Ob I'll be right back.
Speaker 4: So I just go for like ten minutes spurts.
Speaker 1: And then you would encourage, You would encourage him to
Speaker 1: say terrible offensive things. Never I say, we're gonna blame
Speaker 1: it all on Doug.
Speaker 2: There we go.
Speaker 1: I just figured it all out.
Speaker 3: You guys, is Doug's fault?
Speaker 4: Uh huh, whatever my fault.
Speaker 1: Sure, as Doug said, you guys can always find Doug
Speaker 1: at Doug Beat. And he appears on Jeff Lewis Live.

Speaker 1: he has people to cook in his kitchen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we kibbits.

Speaker 3: You'll have to wait where you can.
Speaker 1: I'll be back in La probably next year.

Speaker 1: around the area.
