Speaker 1 (00:02):
Okay, you mentioned the B word Bethany, and you mentioned
that photograph, and you said you were at the Hampton
this summer. When was the last time you've come across
Bethany in person?

Speaker 2 (00:12):
I know what I want and I'm not afraid to
ask for it.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Will Roney Legacy come back? I did Traders with the
Great to Rinda Medley.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Oh and Jay, I can't I can't wait to see that.
It's gonna be epic that season. I don't know if I.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Can even say this. I think I can. She's on
a panel for Love Hotels, so maybe Sony is next
in line for a Love Hotel trip.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Wouldn't that be fun?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
It would be awesome.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Hello, Hello, Welcome to Rappaport Reality. My name is Michael Rappaport.

Speaker 5 (00:50):
And I am Katy Rappaport.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
We have a spectacular special episode of rapper ports Reality
where we get to be one of the ogs of
all things Real Housewives of Anywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
The Countess, the Countess Luan.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Is with us on Rapaport's Reality, And I mean, what
could we say about the Countess that hasn't already been said?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
We fawn, we fawn over the Countess. I mean, just
you know what icon. She's been through a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
I mean a lot, a lot and shared it with.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Us, and you have to just tip your jazz hat.
You know, she wears the jazz hats all the time.
You have to take your your jazz hat to the countess.
Because she's been through marriages, divorces, cheating, obviously, arrests, and
she's out on the other side. She's still smiling. She
still seems like she's enjoying being the Countess and being Lawanne.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Still on that cabaret stage.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
She's on the cabaret stage.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
We talk all about that, uh and everything she's up to,
everything she's done, and where things are going for the Countess.
So coming up shortly is the Countess Luan de la
Sapps and we're giving out dates and all that stuff
for all her shows, which are all over the place.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
But before we get to that, Yes, babe, how are
you feeling, babe?

Speaker 5 (02:16):
I'm feeling great.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
How's your plates classes?

Speaker 5 (02:19):
It was more amazing, it was challenging. I really I'm
really into it. I'm leaning into polate.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Why do you like plates?

Speaker 5 (02:25):
This is my pilates there?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Why do you like it?

Speaker 5 (02:27):
I like it because it's very challenging. For me, it's
sort of relaxing, although it's taxing. The classes are difficult,
but like I like the Reformer. I like all the
like the bells and whistles of the Reformer. You know,
the things you land and it's calming to me even
though I'm being you know, some of the moves on
my legs are shaking.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, you came back the other day.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
You were bent as I was banged up, like I
was banged.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Up, and Kibi does it sort of have perspective on
what kind of a beast workout person you are.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
But she won't quit.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Like you could throw her in a class and she
might not come back, but she will not quit the
class that she's in.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Me, I go to a class, I'm uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
First five six months, I leave, I never come back
and I'm asking for a refund. She might not come
back if it's not her thing, but she will not
quit the classes.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
And she's an animal.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
It's lessening. As I get older, it's lessoning. I remember
when my mom used to be a boot camper until
well into her sixties, like well and well into recent
I mean when she's seventy four, seventy three, she's but
I was an athlete, as you know, my whole life,
like so, I like challenging so myself and pilate seems
like enough that this can bring me well into my eighties.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Okay, okay, my mother.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
And your mom does pilates. She rides horses. She's getting
up there.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, people dig the plates when I've done it, I've
always enjoyed she'd come with me.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I would do it. I like plates. Yeah, Okay, I
just don't like being like the guy in the class.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
Definitely this place, you'd be the guy and I so far,
I haven't seen.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Any I don't like that when it's like, oh, we
brought my husband and like you know, you never really
get a chan pet. Yeah, exactly, my pet husband. Speaking
of pet's pet husbands. Before we get into Luanne Babe
and you guys people, I'm really, really really hoping that
you guys are watching Special Forces. Special Forces on Fox,

(04:20):
which is a surprise love of ours. Last season was
excellent with Denise Richards. Denise Richards on Special Forces, We've
said it once, you said it twice. We're probably saying
it for the fourth or fifth time now. Was excellent.
Cam Newton, former NFL MVP was awesome. Last season was fantastic.

(04:41):
Brody Jenner, Right, it's a good, good show.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
It's a great show. Yeah, it's really really good.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
And they have them doing insane stuff, and every single
episode I go to.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Babe, can you do that? Do you think you'd be
able to do that? Can you do that? Can you
do this?

Speaker 1 (04:59):
And I'm always like, I wouldn't be able to do
shit on there, let alone sleep on a cot because
I don't think that's performative.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
No, No, I think they sleep there on this These
are real Special Forces dudes. They're not going to host
a show where it's like half ass and they the
cars come to pick them up and take them to
the hotel afterwards so they can get a I don't
think that's it. I think they really sleep there.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
But this season the highlight for us is obviously Jia
and Teresa Judas. Teresa and Jia Judas respectfully, are on
Special Forces this season. And we are one week in
and if you didn't watch week one, spoiler alert, Britney
Brittany from Britney Carr, Right, Brittany from The Valley, she

(05:44):
bowed out, she came in there and I don't think
she prepared, she said.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
She didn't prepare.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
No, yeah, she wasn't in her best shape, she said.
But she really bowed out very soon. I think after
the second challenge, like.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
It was, it was halfway through the second challenge, and
I felt like I would have been able to continue
that challenge, and I'm the litmus test of low bar.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Yeah. I don't know, babe, I don't know. The jumping
out backwards off out of the hat, I would jump,
I would shit your pants and I would have been over.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
But but you know, the thing about the jumping out
the backward of the helicopter that was one of the
challenges is if you do it and you're on Special Forces,
it should be a pass.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
They're like judging their form, like it's not the Olympics.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
No, no, no, no, you got to do it properly.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I disagree, babe. You jump out of a helicopter backwards.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
I mean some people jumped out and they were hanging
off the edge of it and dangling around and then
they finally made it to the ground.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
That's not that's a fail.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
But if you jump out and you're like you're hunched over,
you should get a pass. The first time we jug.
That's just my opinion. This is my opinion, all right,
but Britney bowed out.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
I feel bad, babe that that happened. I wish she
would have hung in there. And the guy was so nicer.
He's like, are you sure you want to do this?
Because she says on the show that even Jax called
her when he found out and said, you'll never be
able to do it.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I know, and I hate that.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
I hate that he proved proved him right.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Jack should they should bring him on there and see
what the fuck he's made right exactly because it is
no joke.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
That show is no joke.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
But thus far, heading into week two of the competition,
Teresa and Gia are still there.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
My question for you, babe, first episode, Babe, first s,
it's better than Brittany, right.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
I think ga is gonna stay. I think she's going
to really hang in there.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Do you think that Geo will last longer than Teresa,
Teresa will last longer than Geo, or they'll both bow
at the same time.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
You know, the way they're acting right now, it's like
they're very interdependent. I don't want to say codependent because I.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Don't interdependent is that a new term. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
I don't even know if that makes sense. I think
that they.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Are so interdependent. I think, did you make that up?

Speaker 5 (07:48):
I mean, I think it's a word, but I've heard
I just say, like codependence seems like it's got a
negative connotation. But for a mother and daughter to be
they separated them and Teresa, they were panicking. They were like,
here's my kids, here's my daughter, where's my daughter? But
my daughter, where's my daughter?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Said kid? Where's my kid? Right?

Speaker 5 (08:05):
But I think that like if something happened to Teresa
and she got hurt, I can't see gstaying based on
how they're acting, like, I don't think this Gia.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
They're on that Greg Gardens heavy, totally Greens is something.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Remember the song she did when she was at them.
I don't know what she was.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
And now I'm not so sad, but I'm very upset.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Anyway, what do you think do you really think Teresa's
gonna hang? I mean, she they were calling her like
Barbie because she had a full place, a makeup on
and eyelashes.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
That first scene when she gets out and they were
and they're like talking, you're stupid. She's like that's not
very nice. I think that they are going to make
it to right in front of the halfway point, and
I feel like, by some sort of plot twist, they're
gonna fail out together. And I can't see Gia leaving

(09:04):
her mom there alone now, and I certainly can't. I
can see Teresa getting kicked out and me, go ahead,
ge make me proud.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
G I could see that. And then you got juicy
Jesse Smoley, who acts he's about that life. I want
to see him mouth off to the dude.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
I got to tell you, you know how I feel
about him, like what he's messing with my show? Like
you see how angry I am when he's on there.
I'm like, I don't like he's on the show, Kritieking
the show. I'm like, did you ever watch the show?
He was acting like I can handle the challenges that
I came on here because it's then't push myself, But
I don't want to be yelled at. It's special forces.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
This is part of it. So why don't you go
out there and tell them I don't want.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
To yell that.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, do that? Well, we don't know who he may
he may well, then.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Then he's gonna have a problem because I know them
dudes are gonna probably they obviously they can't put their
hands on him.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
If he pops off to them, they're gonna be.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Like, okay on, but he'll pay. But you know, the
bad thing is the whole team will pay. Everybody will
pay when somebody does something wrong. You know, it's like
one hundred pushed ups for everybody, or.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
They make you sit out like they did to Nick Young.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Nick Young, he's a former NBA player who is a
very talented former NBA player but never lived up to
his talent because he's just a goofball.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
And they say that respectfully.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
He still made it to them and they had a
very very good career, and that just goes to sho
how talented he was because he never seen the care
or try hard. And he even admitted as such on interviews,
like he just he was a laker. He and he
was traded all over, but at one point he was
a Laker. He's from LA. He's played on probably at
least six or seven teams, okay, and he had a

(10:40):
very good career for somebody that seemed like they just
never tried. He got himself into trouble and we got
the whole group in the trouble because he came out smiling,
like what the fuck are you smiling at? But he's
I have to say, in Nick Young's defense, literally that's
how he was his entire nbaker.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
He's always just like kind of like a goofball. But
he apologized.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
And then you got Johnny Manziel aka Johnny Football, who's
a former Heisman Award winning quarterback.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
I don't even know who that is, and like Heisman
isn't that college.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
He was like the best college football player in the country,
well College Texas at M Texas at M Yeah, and
you know Johnny Football.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
I mean he's had you know, but he screwed it
all away.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
All I know about him is that he did cocaine, right,
He did.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Drudge allegedly, but he talked about Yes, yes, he's been
very open about.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
His Did we watch a documentary on him or yes?

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yes? I remember?

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Okay, he's got a very storied, sketchy past.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I thought, if you play college football and you play
NFL and you're thirty four, you should at least be.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Able to he was hanging on for deer like guys.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Thirty four, thirty three he's so out of shape.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Well he's a mess. Yeah, he must have done a
number on himself.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, I think so, because to be a high level
like college football player, even playing in the NBA in
the NFL, you have to be something.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah. Nonetheless, I was. We were pissed that it's streaming
once a week.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
I can't put them all out there?

Speaker 2 (12:07):
What is it?

Speaker 5 (12:07):
But it's network. It's a stock, so that it has
to be each week.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
I'll pay for each episode. Yeah, totally, babe.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Another thing that came out before we get to the Countess,
Luyanne Dayless apps and I got to ask her about
her eggs.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
La la francis how you say it eggs?

Speaker 5 (12:25):
Okay, I don't speak French, but I think that's how
she says it.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Candace Dillard, the Great Candace Dillard was on the Red Carpet,
and when she was on the Red Carpet, they asked
her about Traders and how her experience was.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
And obviously, like.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
All the people that were announced in the upcoming season
of Traders, you're not supposed to say this, you're not
supposed to say that, but she did say that at
the reunion she was gonna cuss I always say cursed.
She said she was going to cuss somebody out, and
it's not that she was planning or rehearsing her what
she was going to say to that person.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
And you, well, I can't be you. Well, first of all,
we didn't shoot three UNI yet full transparency.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
Second of all, so why is she saying that she's
planning away.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Somebody pissed her off? Oh a lot?

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Okay to the fact where she's thinking months in advance
of which she and I will tell you this listeners,
And I will tell you this, babe. I tread real
lightly and real softly around Candaceller because her shade game
is no joke.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
So based on my experiences in my protection, she's not
talking about me. We got along.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Fantastically very you allowed to say that though we got
a I'm just going to say this.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
If I was a betting man, I would think that
whoever she's going to curse out is not me, Michael Rapper.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
That's all. That's all I care about it. I wouldn't.
I don't play with I. Just like I told them to.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
Think carefully, you didn't do anything, babe.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I told them to their faces. I say this publicly.
This is not like I've said it once.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
I said it.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
I don't around with housewives, I know, particularly Housewise of Potomac,
Housewives of Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, I am big enough of a fan and knowledgeable
enough of a fan to know that those are not
people that you want to You.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
Don't want to like you know, go, Yeah, you had
your you had a moment with the Kenya, so you've
learned your lessons.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
They don't play first. Also, I'm a man, right like,
I'm not a house and you can't you just get
beat up.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
You can't say anything bad.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
As much as I'd love to be a housewife, man,
I'd love to be recognized as a housewife.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
I mean that would be sick. That would be sick.
That would be sick. I think I would.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
Maybe you would have to be a house husband and
you would have to have a wife on the show.
You can't just be a housewives. What are you gonna
what are you going to wear?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
I'll dress appropriately as a sis straight man.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
And I identifying as a housewife, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
I want to be identified. I want to.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
I identify as a real house I want to They're
talking about the reboot of the real houses in New York.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
You want success bringing Michael Rapport as a real house.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
Okay, I want to identify as Selena Gomez. Hey, I
mean that's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
You look fantastic.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
I had a great summer in the Hampton's I you know,
I decided I would take some time off because I've
been touring NonStop.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
You know. I was in London, I was in Canada.
I've been you know.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
I did this new series called Not New. It's been
around for the nineteen season, which is Murdoch Mysteries. So
I play a character from the nineteen twelve and they
actually wrote the character for me because I'm a cabaret
performer and I'm on the road and I'm in love
with mister Murdoch, Detective Murdoch. But I'm married to the
mayor who was a scoundrel. I love the words that

(17:43):
used to use it in those days, scoundrel. I'm gonna
have to bring that into my cabaret. So I just
love that word. So I've been you know, I've been
busy doing other projects, and you know, the Luniverse is
really for theaters that can't support like a big red piano,
drum set, that whole thing. So I side to put
together a clip show of iconic moments that happened on

(18:04):
the Housewives, and I talk about them.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
I spilled a pea on all all of those things.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
That happened during you know, filming and those moments, and
then I opened it up to a cunate with the audience,
so you know, and I can't leave without giving them
a little bit of money. So I do a little money.
Can't buy a class for them. So it's a really
fun show. It's walk down Memory Lane and and the
fans are really loving it. So it's small, personal and

(18:29):
I'm having a great time with it. So it's a luniverse.
But I call them the lunatic.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
I love that. I love that, and we are lunatics.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Okay, so you show clips from the shows and then
you break them down and you talk about behind the scenes,
and so what's the one clip that gets people, you know,
the most excited, frustrated, or you know, going, because there's
so many of them, I know.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
So one that I do play, hey, is you know
the moment where Bethany shows me this picture of Tom
making out the Regency, you know, and where did she
get that picture? And what how did she get that picture? Now,
it just didn't just happen that somebody took a picture
of Tom. You know, that was totally set up. And

(19:13):
I think you know that.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
But I talk about moments like that.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
I talk about the Love Hotel, James, it's really it
walked out memory Lane. Then I you know, go through
the years even further back, and the Pirate Bowman and
all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
All right, well, but wait before we get to the
Love Hotel, which, let me tell you something.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
We didn't think we were gonna like it. I thought
it was going to be corny. It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
You guys were so good on Love Hotel, and it
was it was to me. I called it this surprise
hit of the spring into the summer. I thought it
was so fun, so entertaining, so genuine and you guys
truly and you know, I'm a fan l when you
guys superseded and that show superseded expectations and it's attributed
to the women that were on you and the rest

(20:01):
of the girls really kicked off before we get into
love hotel. Okay, you mentioned the B word Bethany, and
you mentioned that photograph and you said you were at
the Hampton this summer. When was the last time you've
come across Bethany in person?

Speaker 4 (20:16):
Not even this summer because I think she moved, so
it was last summer. And it was very funny.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
It was like a party an agent had and you
know when I was walking in, it was John Hamm
and Live Shreiver, Andy was there.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
It was quite the crowd. You know.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Emma Roberts was there, who was a fan of mine,
who made Eglafond says famously and put it on instagraft.
I know. Anyway, so I run across Bethany and she's
Brinn and she comes to me and she says, you
know the water under the bridge, Brinn is a fan.
She would like to have a picture with you, and
she goes, I guess, you know, what little life is

(20:53):
a cabaret, isn't it. So she finally concedes to me that,
you know, like life is a cabaret for me. And
so then Emma Roberts comes over and then she's like
taking pictures and you know, with Brian and myself and
Emma John Hamm is like standing right next to us
with you know, a.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Guy that I've been dating.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
And anyway, so she takes pictures nice and you're gonna
send them to you, right, she goes, yeah, of course,
Well she doesn't send them to me to like after
she posts, and she still has me blocked on social media,
by the way, But what the real clicker for me
was that she then did a TikTok, you know, saying
that we were reunited, we're friends again. Meanwhile I'm still

(21:33):
blocked on social media. So I was like, oh my god,
I just got used, you know what I mean. I
just got used because she said in her TikTok, you know,
Brian is the one who bridged Luanne and I back together,
and the same for my mother. I'm like, wait a second,
I'm still blocked. And she didn't send me the pictures
until after she posts them. So anyway, you know, listen,

(21:54):
I have nothing against Bethany, you know, let her live
her life.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
But that was the last time I saw her.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Okay, okay, that's a good, fair, thorough answer.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Now you mentioned I said I was going to go
in the Love Hotel, but then I gotta keep track
of everything because you know, you mentioned you were dating
a guy. Who what is there anybody you're dating right now?
I know men, these guys. The way you handled these
guys on Love Hotel and the way you you you were,
I got to tell you, Luin, and I'm saying this

(22:24):
with all due respect. You were so confident and so
clear on what you wanted, who you wanted, what you liked,
why you liked.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Them, and all this.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
And I really respected that you came off like a
fucking just a cool ass, you know, woman. And so
but to get to the question is are you dating
somebody now? Is there anybody special in your life?

Speaker 4 (22:47):
Yeah? You know, I have a guy that had been
dating for quite a while.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Now.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
We met in the Hampton's.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
He's German, and you know, I love European boys, and
but I didn't expect to meet James, you know, and
I really felt for James.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
I mean really really loved James. This is the person
I mean problem with James.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
He lived in Hawaii, you know, I mean it's easier
to get to Europe than it is to get to Hawaii,
so you know it's not that practical, but we still
keep in touch.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
He surprised me at a show I didn't Lake Tahoe.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
He showed up. And you know, I'm going to Hawaii
to do a show in Honolulus. So October sixteenth, will
James be at that show? And will the other guys?

Speaker 4 (23:26):
I can't imagine that he wouldn't be at that show.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Okay, all right, fair enough? What did you think Love
Hotel was gonna be? Were you trumpidacious? Did you think
it was gonna be corny like? Because, like I said,
you guys kicked. But it was such a fun, genuine
show And to see you guys out of context the
way we're so used to seeing you in a more
vulnerable way, in a more fun way, and you guys

(23:51):
really participated in it. What did you think you were
getting into him? What it was your takeaway from Love Hotel?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, listen, you know I've been I've been saying to
brab for ages. You know, a lot of housewives are single,
so we should do a dating show. And it was
in my mind for years because I've been single for
years and so I really wanted to have a show
like that, and so finally it came to Fruition. You know.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
I think the reason why I did so well with
it is because it was a dream of mine. Really,
it was something that I manifested. And you know, I
was telling the boys what to do. Write her a
note to Ashley, you like, Ashley, get her a note
over there. Don't let the guy run away with the girl.
Leave a love note on the mirror, but lipstick on.
And they're like what.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm like, yeah, get sexy now, you know. And you
know I was in everybody's face. I was like to Mark,
you know, come mom, what do you got? And you know,
at that point, the guy should have kissed me, but
he didn't. So now I know what I'm dealing with, right,
And you have the guy. I love Sunrise and I
love dun said, and I'm a surfer. I'm like, well,
I'm out, you know, because remember when I turned around

(25:01):
and I walked away, I was like bye, And I
left those two guys sitting on the couch because I
was bored and so, you know, and James just brought
out the little girl in me. I mean, we giggled
like two little kids. I mean, I love his personality.
I love he's musically inclined. We wrote a song for
the Love Hotel. You know, he brought out a guitar

(25:22):
and Jerry goes, oh, I should have brought my guitar.
I'm like, yeah, you should have brought your guitar, Jerry. Anyway,
so James came in and he just stole my heart. Really,
he just is somebody I admire and somebody who you know,
he's been sober for thirty years also, which I liked
about him, very grounded. You know, I knew right away,

(25:43):
you know, he had that quirky voice, but that's okay.
I got past that and I really adore him. So
you know, what I've learned from this whole experience is
that I know what I want and I'm not afraid
to ask for it.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Do you ever foresee yourself getting married again? Is that
something you could ever even imagine?

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, you know, listen I sing about that Mary f
Kel three times, the charm.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
So catch me if you can, right catch maybe can.
So you know there's men that I would marry and
they give me such a thrill. So I'm helpless romantic.
You know, I believe in love.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
I feel like life is not worth living without love,
and so when I get married again, maybe maybe.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Okay, Okay, eggs lafranceie, you have inspired my wife to
perfect it.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
I know I didn't say it right. Can you can
you help me?

Speaker 4 (26:46):
How do I say the eggs? Well?

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Say eggs a la francie that you got okay, just
like jellass. You have to let it roll off your tongue,
do you? People try to go They kids say delasp
but if you just say dellasps, like.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Are you people mispronouncing?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
I've mispronounced your name so many times I mispronounce your
name and watch what happened.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Live and I love you. I'm a fan. But it
is a trick, so let me get a fad.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
It is too you know that.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Come on, Luyen eggs la Francis.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
And Luis luyenne a la de la SAPs delasps, della
SAPs delasps.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
That's it now, now clarify this. Are you officially still
a countess?

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Now break that down because you'll always be the countess
to us, Are you officially still a countess?

Speaker 3 (27:40):
How does that work legally?

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Well, legally, I will always be the countess because my
ex husband says to me, you will always be my countess.
He never remarried. I'm the mother of his children, So
after seventeen years, I'm keeping the title.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Bitches, Yeah, they can't hear. You're the countess period. I
don't care if there's legally paperwork changing you married.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
You know why I'm a countess. You know the history
of the double SEPs family, but give it to me.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, first of all, he was responsible for the Suez
Canal really and the Panama Canal eventually taken over by
the Americans. But he was the one who was basically
the engineer and the brainschild behind splitting the planet in
connecting seas, I mean unbelievable. And he was so important
in France that he was asked to give the Statue

(28:33):
Liberty to the United States of America. So ferdinandelo Sevs,
if you go to the Statue Liberty, you'll see his
name everywhere. So that's where the title comes from. So
it's a real title. I didn't take it out of
a cracker Jacks Box.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
I love that. Okay, New York, The Real Housewives of
New York.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
There's been discussions, there's been rumors the streets are saying
that there might be a Rony Legacy show.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
What can you tell us? Who would you want to
be on it? In my opinion has to be the
Big four.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Meaning you, the great Sonya Morgan, the Great Drindam Medley,
and of course bring back Ramona Singer. I think you guys,
and you could add some other people or not I
add other people.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
The four of you guys can make it happen. Will
Roney Legacy come back?

Speaker 4 (29:19):
You know?

Speaker 2 (29:19):
I know there's a lot to talk about it, and
I more than talk. There's big talks going on. So
we'll see what happens. We're gonna have to watch and
see what happens. Yeah, I don't know the answer to that.
I just know that there's interest there.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I did Traders with the Great Dorinda Medley. Oh MG,
I can't I can't wait to see that. It's gonna
be epic that season epic.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
I was dying, Louis, I was dying.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
There was you know, there's four other housewives, there's five Housewives.
So for me, it was like literally like hanging around.
It was like an NBA All Star Game. And I
was with the I was freaking out of my mind.
But Derinda, off camera when we weren't filming, she mentioned
that there was one night and I don't know if
this is a common thing that you the great Sonia Morgan,

(30:09):
the Great Ramona Singer, and Derinda, the four of you
guys were at dinner. Like when people see you guys
out at dinner, is it like they're seeing like the
Supremes or something like the people freak out, like if
they're fans, if they're plugged in.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yeah, I mean, if they're plugged in, for sure.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
I mean, you know, the fans are just you know, uh,
you know, love the ogs, and so wherever we are,
we get a lot of attention, you know. And I
had lunch out in the Hampton's with Sony recently and
Kelly and actually Joe. People are like, I know at
Bill Boukay and everybody was like, you know, they were

(30:45):
trying to contain themselves. You know, a couple of them
got the nerve up to come and say hello, et cetera.
But you know, everybody was just kind of watching us,
and it was it was I wish we had cameras,
you know.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
It was I was saying.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Sony was still mad about not being invited to the
Berkshires to Dorinda's. Remember that one year she invite it,
but she still is mad. She got red in the
face mad.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
I'm like, Sonya, you have to let it go. It
was ten years ago.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
How is Sonya? How is the great Sonya Morgan?

Speaker 4 (31:10):
You know she's good. I spoke to her yesterday. Actually,
so she's good. She's good.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
You know, she has her her wild and crazy moments.
But that's what we love about Sonya.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
You just never know with her.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, it's true, but I root for her so much
and I want her to be good and happy and
you know, chill.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
No, she's okay, she's okay, she's good.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Okay. So you speak to Sonya, you speak to Derinda,
you speak to Ramona. Who outside of the New York
World Housewives wives are you friendly with at this point?
Do you keep up with the girls from Love Hotel?

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Yeah? Yeah, totally. We're gonna see each other. You know.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
I actually called Ashley from the table that day because
Sonya said they asked her to be on the Love
Hotel and she said no because she was dating the Viking.
And I said, he said no to a television show,
Sonya really, She goes, she does, well, just call Ashy Darby.
She knows, and so I called Ashley. So I go, okay,
and I'm sitting there. I wish we had cameras, and

(32:06):
Jill's like that. She was like, oh shit, here we go.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Kelly's like going, oh, oh oh, this is gonna be bad.
So I call up.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
As she picks up the phone. I'm sitting next to
Sonya and I go, oh, hey, I go, how you doing.
She goes, oh, I'm just with my boo. And I said, well,
let me ask you this. Sony says that she was
asking me a love hotel and she giggles and she goes,
I said, do you know anything about that?

Speaker 4 (32:29):
She goes, not really, Ally.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
How would I know anything about I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Let me tell you this. Let me tell you this.
So for Bravocon, Sonya is on a panel. I don't
know if I can even say this. I think I can.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
She's on a panel for a love Hotel. So maybe
Sonya is next in line for a Love Hotel trip
wouldn't that be fun?

Speaker 3 (32:51):
It would be awesome.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
There needs to be like a whole like wrangling machine,
like a whole thing like they need a separate like
like thing.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
For Sonya on the Love Hotel, she needs her own
like Lady Media.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
There's her own hotel, her own war, her own floor
for sure.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
So Bravo Khan, you are rumored to be doing a
special show. There's gonna be guests.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Never remember it's not there's no rumor.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
I'm playing the House of Blues on November fourteen, So
hopefully it comes to the show because you are going
to be out for Bravo Khan.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Lewyn, you don't have to tell me twice. You don't
have to tell me twice. Okay, So you're performing House
of Blues the fourteen.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
November fourteen, So put it on your schedule if you're
not busy.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Bravo kan. Okay, Now, special guests, what's gonna happen at
this year?

Speaker 4 (33:39):
The girls are coming?

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Give me give me some who's confirmed? Who's your dreaming guest?
Who would do? Okay? Who would be your dream duet
to do a show performance with just one song with it?

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Bravo Khan, who's a Bravo person and a non Bravo person,
So like Bravo person is attainable. But like, let's say
any singer in the world that's alive would be your
dream guest, And tell me who would be your dream
guests from the Bravo world two part question.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Well, first would be let's see hum probably Miley Cyrus.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Because you know I cover her flowers in my show
and actually her team reached out at one point for
the Grammys and he asked me if I would make
a surprise appearance for the after party.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
And guess what.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
I was in rehearsals for Mary f Kill.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
I had my director, I had everyone in New York
on slate to rehearse, so I didn't go. And they're like, well,
we don't know if he's gonna win, but we want
to surprise her in any case, Devin, I'm so proud
of her for winning, and I missed that moment, so
I needed Miley Cyrus to.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Get Okay, that'd be good.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
And you know, listen, I feel like Erica Jane and
I could make a smash.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
That would be a smash, a splash.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Grandy Burnett, I feel like, you know, that could be fun.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
What's one thing about you?

Speaker 1 (35:07):
In all your years You've been on so on our
television for so many years, what's one thing about you
that you feel like you haven't gotten to show about
who you are as a person. I mean, you've shown
so many colors. We've watched you grow up, you know,
we watch you evolve. But what's one thing that you
haven't gotten to show the world on TV in all

(35:27):
the hours that you've shown.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Well, I mean there's two things I think that people think,
you know, the Countess right, that I take myself very
seriously and I really don't. I'm really down to earth,
as you know. And I make fun of myself. You know,
there's a lot of self deprecation that goes on in
my cabaret show. For example, I play a video of

(35:51):
every worst headline you've ever seen about me, and I
put them on the screen. That is from you know,
bad page six articles to being arrested, to all of it,
and I own it.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
You know, when my mother is Canadian, she's ninety six, and.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
She says, you know, there, I don't like that you
show all those things old no bad things that have
in her French Canadian acts. And I said, Mom, it's
my life and I'm not ashamed of it, you know,
And that's why I sing Viva la diva. You know,
I'm not ashamed. I never look back, so never surrender
and never give up. So all my lyrics are really

(36:29):
about living your best life, not being ashamed, because listen,
when you're down with only one way to go, it's up.
So I think people don't understand that about me. And
what's the other thing that they don't understand about me? Well,
really my cabaret show, because when you see my show
on Bravo, they can't, you know, use music for rights.

(36:50):
So you know, you always see the drama around my show.
But those who have not seen my show when they
come to like, oh my god, this is the great show.
Because I do put on a great show. It's always different.
I never do the same show. I'm always like, the
next tour will be Love Hotel. It's gonna be all
about the Love tour. So I know I have a
new song, a new song I'm working on, which is

(37:13):
a big bet gets a classic that I'm making into dance.
So we're working on getting those rights so we can
We've already written the lyrics, we've already recorded the song that's.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Not done yet, but I think, I think people are
going to really love this song. And I'm always working
on music.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Right now, I'm working on my my Christmas shows that
I have December twenty second, twenty third in New York,
and I have one I think Ohio.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
But you know, perfecting songs like son you got run
over by Rein.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Deer, Somebleingo from Bluestone Christmas Eve. You can say there's
no such thing as Santa, but me and all the ogs,
we believe that's just the beginning.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
All tickets roll her shows are at Countess luand dot com.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
You mentioned, you know, the arrest and the dark times,
you know, like real talk when you were going through that,
and you're going through It's it's hard enough to go
through that kind of thing, you know in private, you're
going through it public and obviously the fans and social
media is such a dumb hole of toxicity, and you know,

(38:20):
it's so weird to me, especially in Bravo and especially
with the Housewives because for me, you guys, I always
root for all of you guys, like and the reason
why I root for all of you guys is because
I truly sincerely appreciate you putting it all on the line,
the good shows, the bad shows, the good seasons, the
bad season, the tripping, the falling, the drunk, the mishaps.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
As performers, you guys share and show it all with
the world, and I don't like when one of you
guys is down and then the fans pounce and I'm like, you.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Should be rooting for this person.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
This person gave you joy, this person gave you laughs,
this person gave you so much entertainment. But when you
were going through that, you know publicly, like what was like,
you do you remember like where you were just like
what the fuck is going on with my life? You know,
because you're a classy woman and you're a person. You're
not You're not this TV character, you know, Like what

(39:16):
do you remember? Like what were you thinking at that time?

Speaker 4 (39:19):
Well?

Speaker 2 (39:19):
I was thinking I was the lowest common denominator period.
I mean I I was supposed to go to a wedding.
I actually was stopping at Palm Beach to go to
a wedding in Chili, and I stopped for two nights
see my girlfriend that I lived with in Milan thirty
years ago and it's a long story. But and that's

(39:41):
something I talk about in the show too, because it's important.
People don't know what really happened that night. And so,
you know, I just think that, you know, when you're down,
there's one place to go.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
It's up.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
And my director, I was already working on cabaret. That's
why I was at the colony because they have a
cabaret room there and that's why decided to go there.
I was checked into the hotel. I was a guest
in the hotel. I didn't go out of the hotel.
I didn't hurt anybody. But believe me, they knew who
I was, and you know, and they, you know, threw
the book at me for you know, being drug and

(40:14):
sure I admit that, but to call the police I'm
a guest. I think I got taken advantage of. And
people still go to the polony to see where I
got arrested, you know, became like a thing.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
So yeah, I kind of got used in abuse, that's
for sure. Now I own it. So I didn't have
no remorse or regrets about it.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
The only thing I as I learned, and I said
to myself, listen, if I can't have myself in front
of the policeman.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
I got to go and take care of myself. So
I'm gonna Sitilda. Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Tilda Smith came to my show two years ago in London.
She meets me and she's, darling, you just spent seven noy.

Speaker 6 (40:52):
I just annoy you. But you've been doing You've been
on the road so long. You need you most need
a little rick much. Come to my humblett bood and
I'm going to take care of you. And I said,
and I go, well, I don't know till I've never
been to Scotland. And so you know, we both had
our assistants there who liked each other very much. So
I said, you know what, we'll get back to you.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Let me let me figure it out. First of all,
because I had to fly back to New York because
it was my last show. And anyway, we ended up
going to Scotland. We became friendly, really friendly. I love her.
And last February I did another show in London.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
I played the Adelphi Theater on the West End, the
home of Sons at Boulevard, owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
And so Tilda sends me flowers to the hotel and
she goes, I've got to dig that I count attend.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
I get to my dressing room and she's there with
her entire family to surprise me.
