Wow, and this is only the second season that I've

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, and now you get it because a year ago
when we were recapping this and you were like, oh,
that was cool that Paul gave a handshake to the
third person in the opening two minutes of the show,
and I was like, that was not cool, Amy. These
burning handshakes left and right don't matter. Yeah, So I
(05:49):
will just open this with I was very glad spoiler alert,
no handshakes this second episode.

Real Housewives of London and The Great British Baking Show.
So hats off to you, darlings, and please message me,
you know, let me know what you think. Okay, drama
Darlings with a Z at gmail dot com. I will
(06:33):
read your comments on the show. And great to see
the cast back looking fabulous, looking healthy. It was a
bit of a jump scare to see everybody in that
Jurassic Park promo.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Okay, that was my favorite promo that bakeoff has done.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Oh really, so they do a lot of these, because
I don't remember promo last year.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
They always opened the season with it.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Last year they always do Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They always to Jurassic Park. But this year, like they
brought it back to the nineteen ninety three Jurassic No,
but they did Barbie one year. But it just felt
like a be too late and this is like, let's
not even go for time late. And I was but
it was great, so good.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I love I mean, the dinosaur was fantastic. Those pants,
I'm in the pants. You want to see pants on
a dinosaur and with British humor. That's what you're gonna get,
and that's what we got.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
And I loved it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Oh, I thought you were talking about pruise makeup and
hair and beard. I thought that's where you met what
you said, pants on a dinosaur beard on her face?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh wow, Well bob bam bam, bam, bam, bam bam bam.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Whoa Okay, love how hard she went for it. That
was awesome.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
She was so committed like us. I was really proud
of her. I was proud. It seemed like she did
some acting technique work. I don't know, it just felt
like that.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It was great and the actually made me like when
Noel said about creating a dinosaur or a Paul Hollywood
was yeah, you could have, but you should have. But
could you have? You like flipped that could have and show.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
He is so funny.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
One of the things I love about him is when
he's talking to the contestants, he you know that term lately,
which is like matching energy. Yeah, so it's so overused,
it's very trendy. But he he's not like a comedian
that comes like table to table and makes it about
(08:40):
him and does all his jokes on his own and
like to the camera, and he connects with each baker
and he brings out the best in each person.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Do you notice it really does?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I know, I know I noticed it right away because
like when he first came on a couple of years ago,
people nervous because like he's such an absurdist comic, like
from the Mighty Boosh, and so people are like, what
the hell is this going to be? But it was great,
Like he's so gentle when he needs to be. He
kind of does bits. He's only once in a while
going to knock a cake off a counter.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I mean right right, that was yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
But he uh, he's.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Great because he's so kooky.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
He like loosens people up, and then when he goes
and jokes around with them, they feel comfortable joking around
with him. And that is a very rare gift to
have in a comedian, in anybody, in a host anything
like that, because you know, and so I just want
to say hats off to him.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
He's He's amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The whole cast amazing laughs when they make a joke,
which is huge for disarming them and making them feel
comfortable and making them look better, and that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
That's what I'm saying. And he genuinely is just delighting
in all of it, Like I love it. He just
brings so much joy to the whole show. I honestly
don't know like what they would do without him because
he's such a huge like he to me is like
the heart and soul of it. I mean, the judges
are obviously great, I understand, but like he really is
the glue. He kind of brings the baking judges and
(10:16):
then the host side together along with the contestants.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
And I stand firm on that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, I watch all these no Fielder hitters be like
dear drama darling, no.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But I also think Alison is the purpose fit.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
She is amazing.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And when they were doing the Jurassic Park bit and
Noel like booped her on the nose and she was
like totally dying laughing. I love that bar They're so cute.
I love her class act, class act. All right, Well, listen,
even though it's been one hundred degrees up here in
Santa Clarita, it is going to turn into fall here
(10:56):
at some point. And I know wherever you guys live,
it's probably turning out to fall a lot sooner than here.
And I just love the feeling of starting to watch
this show with like, you know, because it feels like fall.
You want to start baking, you want to start cooking more,
and it's just a cozy show.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So it is a cozy show. Yeah, I feel like
it started. It starts a little later usually, but like
it's always about this time. But I was very hot
watching it. I was like, why am I so hot
watching bake Off?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, that will go away soon. Just let's let's hang tight.
Let's hang tight. The first challenge, what is called the
first challenge Emily Eminett.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Is the signature sorry, thank you actually signature signature technical
and then.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Showstopper okay, signature challenge swiss roll with two different fillings,
creating the perfect swell dolling. All right, listen, if you
don't want to hear about sponge cake, turn the channel.
You know, don't, don't listen, because it's all about the
sponge on this show. And I gotta ask a baking question.
And I'm sorry to sound so deft, but are all
(12:09):
cakes sponge cakes just varying degrees of sponges? So, like,
if I am making a cake like at home, like
a birthday cake? Is that a sponge When I get
like a Betty Crocker cake mix, is that a sponge cake?
Like I don't even know sponge Okay, so they're all
sponge cakes, just vary, you know, like how sponge.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Cake looks like a sponge when you look at it,
because it has like it looks as like little holes, Like, yeah,
it's a sponge cake. But that's why when they got
to round two, they were all like, all right, I'm
just going to use my basic kind of sponge cake recipe.
Now you can argue like, but there's pound cake, crumb cake, but.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
At the heart of it, it's all sponge Yeah, okay. Well,
you know, with British Baking Show, these judges, they really
throw me for a loop because every single time they
talk about sponge it's like I'm hearing it for the
first time, you know, I'm like, what is this sponge cake?
You know, because the way that they talk about it
(13:04):
every single episode in so many different ways to describe it.
It's amazing to me how you can break down the
same type of cake based on just the amount of
time you're baking it and perhaps the amount of different ingredients,
but they're always the same ingredients.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Is that Is that what we're looking for here?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I mean I think so, yeah, I mean, so this
one has is gonna take because it has to have
more flexibility. So you're gonna probably you know, I forget
what they had to put more of in, but it's
all like at that point, you're just dealing with you.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Know, science, chemicals, yeah, and science. Okay, okay, all right, okay.
I mean that is like a very nuanced thing because
if you're gonna, like for the first like with the
Perfect Swirl Cake, you need to be it's gotta be
spongy enough to do the rolling.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, gotta beautiful and he can't pull apart and.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
It can't fall apart. Dude, I don't even know that.
This first episode honestly was giving me so much anxiety.
I had a lot of like this was tough to watch.
I mean with like the cakes that were falling apart, well,
I mean the cake that fell apart Ian's cake and
the other challenge.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Oh my god, show yes that can be a heart attack.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But with the Perfect Swirl Cake, I mean this was
them doing these inlay designs.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I was like how do they do that?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
And to see them sketch it out then have to
do such specific you know, thank you piping with the
design freeze it. And then when Wats's toes forgot to
put the flour in his leg and then like had
to scrape it off of the design, I was like,
(14:57):
I can't, I cannot watch this.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
This is stressing me out.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I got very nervous for him.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
He was.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
He was definitely the one I was like, oh, oh,
boys out soon. But that Hassan.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Was like hold on, okay, okay, yeah he I mean
this guy wow, And everyone was having to do things
over again, like two people had to like redo their
kords and way I.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Don't know, and then someone had to redo their karmel.
Wasn't it Hassan who had to redo the I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Know, Yeah, Hassan had to do. I mean also like yah, Camel, Yeah,
Caramel's if I've learned anything, I've learned karmel is very
hard in the tent. And I think it's because you
make it a certain way at home and because it's
really hard to figure out depending on what you need
it for, that's your you kind of change your whole baseline.
(15:51):
Once you get into that tent and it's like you
don't know how hot it's going to be. You don't know,
like you just aren't dealing with the same things you
deal with at home.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
That like the nerves just being in there and then
having to do what you may have done a bunch
of times. And then but then you get these other
contestants who are like, well, I tried this once, hope
it works again. And Stopper that was also a son,
I'm so bummed, like he uh he left right he was, Yeah,
(16:24):
he had to go.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
He was like, I was bummed because his personality was
so fun.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I here's I'm pitching this to you, bake off producers
one season where it's all just get all the people
that exited on the first episode and put them on
Love Island. Would actually I want to see the song.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
And they have instead of making breakfast for each other,
they have to like make a perfect sponge of.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Something hot in the hot ass sun. Yes, right right, yeah,
I think yeah, it would be great to see all
those people that had to leave right away come back
for a full season and just see because they have
they've they've vetted all these people. They all deserve to
be there, And what I've heard the judges say is
(17:15):
that bakers are getting better and better. So have the
people that left the first round come back and make
that you're thirteen or whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
To think that there are thousands of people who tried
to get on this show and you got someone who's
like I tried this at home once.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I'm like, how did you get through? You know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Right? Yeah? I think I felt Sometimes there's those ones
that are like, I don't know, I'm winging it, and
then they crush it, and so I never know where
to land on that.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Okay, fair enough, fair enough, Well I want to go
through some of these swirls because I was very impressed
obviously Ian who did his like school, that was insane,
I know. I mean that it looked like it was
going to be a winner, just based on the sketch
(18:08):
alone when we saw what he was going to do,
and then when we saw him doing his inlay. But
of course you're worried about how it's all going to
come together, and to the fact that it was incredible
and I actually loved it looked really good too. It
had cherry jam, it had marshmallow cream, now the fifteens.
The fifteen like smart, it was like it's some coconut digestives.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, it's like all these like junk foods over there.
That's why they were making fun of him for like
the combination of ingredients. Oh yeah, the fifteens is fifteen
of each main ingredient, So fifteen digestive biscuits, which are
cookies that have chocolate on him for Americans, fifteen marshmallows,
(18:53):
fifteen candied cherries, and then condensed milk and coconut for coating.
It's like a tray bake, you know, you put it
in and like bark it up or whatever. Got it?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
And I remember now from last year that I learned
that their cookies are digestives.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, right, that's the brand. That's a brand.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, it's a brand. Oh okay, yeah yeah, whereas it's terrible. Yeah,
but they're great here. It's like a compari, you know,
a drink at the end of your mail. Yeah right,
but yeah, he his was amazing.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
It was a great challenge they put them through the
ringer because these these like rolls, these little Swiss rolls
were so challenging. And then the landscape cake was intense. Okay,
So moving on with the Swiss rolls. Uh, the Puimns.
I liked, She's really good. I like her her lemon
and Macha Swiss roll looked really good. She looks like
(19:50):
a very talented baker.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Well yeah, but Manda come out of the gate with Macha.
Paul does not like Macha.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I don't blame, so I don't. I wouldn't like it either,
So that's that was tricky.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That was fine. I'm just saying, Look, if Amy or
Paul is your judge, know what they like, right, know
what they don't like, and don't do that.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
That's smart. I don't, at least on the smart.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
First challenge, don't do it like work your way into it.
To me, I'm like, I don't know much about Paul Hollywood,
but I know he doesn't like Machia.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
You should know that, everybody.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
You should know that Aaron did not finish that Honeybee thing.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
That was a bummer.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Oh so I thought he did, Like then I thought
he did finish shit, And then they were like, this
looks better without it, But you think he didn't finish.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
He only finished half of the top of the icing.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh okay, well it was like a shell and then
they lifted it off. I thought that was intentional, but
I guess not.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
It didn't look finished to me.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Well see that's what So.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
That's what Pruce said, that's the new like, that's what
she said. She said, that's what said. Are you a
lemon person? Like, oh yeah, you totally are you? Like
oh yeah, yeah, so that's what.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It's really good to me too. It's a hole out
of that roll. Yeah, it right in the middle, down
the middle, down the right down. Shoving it through Hassan's
chocolate mess with just those shards of chocolate sticking up looked.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Just like such a disaster.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
It's always fun to see though, Like I can't lie,
it's fun to see a disaster cake.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
But it tasted great. So then I was like, well,
he might be here, like he might have saved it,
because sometimes that saves it, because if something's not edible
or ror, as Paul would say, it's roar in the middle,
it's not cooked, it's rar, then that gets you right
(21:59):
down under the bottom. Yeah, and we might be at
home being like, but it looks so cool.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
That's it doesn't taste good. It doesn't matter it's not
Cake Boss. All right, we're not doing.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Ma'am.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
No, wait, what do you say? Are you saying cake
bus doesn't taste good?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Are you saying cake busses?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Rok?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I don't want cake Boss coming for me because I
freaking love the Cake Boss.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Like, yeah, I hadn't.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
We all had an addiction to cake Boss at one
point or another. But no, I just think that like
that show is only based on the design, has nothing
to do with the taste or the flavor.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
And you know, getting.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Enough the stairs, this gate stairs, Yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Didn't get it through this door. How are we going
to do the door into the truck in this amount
of time?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
When my dad built the bakery, he made a hobbit
hole sized tunnel for us to build cakes and move
them through, and then he put ten flights of stairs.
And now I'm here with the cake.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
So we have a crane and a bucket and we're
gonna just you know, use a Pulley system down.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yeah, that's right. So I got this pocketbook, cack. This
lady wants a pocket book cake.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I forgot about pocket book. It takes me right back.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
We love it. We love it.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
The closest I can come to this Swiss role is
I've done a log roll before, so didn't have two
different fillings. And when these gals, when these people, I
should say, are throwing in like large chunks of strawberry,
I'm like, you know what you deserve. You deserve to
not have your role roll. Okay, what do you expect?
(23:52):
You think you could mush it up a little bit,
it's getting lumpy. How are you going to roll this thing?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You are right? And I think Amy, your log cake
is a Swiss roll.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I would say, oh, thank you, give yourself very much.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
And I'm facing I don't think you have to have
two flavors, because like Little Debbie is a Swiss roll.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, I guess it is a Swiss roll.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You're right, Yeah, pat yourself on the back.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I'm going to oh, my arth right his hand. I
love a nice log roll. And I guess it's called
a log roll because I've only made it the holidays
and that's why I'm calling it a log roll. But
any other time of the year it would be a
Swiss roll.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
And they've made log rolls on there too. I think, yeah,
we're getting caught up in the names.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
But are semantics.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
We've been to each of these destinations.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But you know, when I've rolled it up, you know
what really helps.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Cheese cloth. You have to be beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Cheese cloth in order to lay your spongee on that
and simply roll it. I've tried a cheese cloth, and
I've also tried just a plain old kitchen towel.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Both work. Both work.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
That sounds and what was your design?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
It was a log? I mean it was a fucking
I'm joking, oh Christmas ass motherfucking chocolate log with powdered
sugar like it was left out in the fucking snow.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
MLA wa, sorry, what is yours?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I don't definitely not anything that. It was just like
chocolate and like hard ass vanilla icing because like that's
I remember making it when I was a kid, and
that was like my mom's jam was like this shit icing.
It was like coil icing times, Like my mom is
really awesome at designing and making cakes. Oh, but the
(25:59):
icing for me was always like they killed it. It
was like that seventies eighties homemade icing that was just like.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Wow, it'll knack in the face, yeah, yes, right right,
it's gonna stick you know.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Oh yeah it does.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
You could have used it for that fond and fancy.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
But anyway, Ian won the swirl thing. I mean, I
just want to mention Tom's Tartan roll looked really cool.
Did you have a favorite one? I really like the
Tartan one.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Tartan was very cool. It hit me right out of
the gate. But I gotta give it up to Ian
because I didn't think he could pull it off, and
he did.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Yeah. Okay, very good, very good.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
So now we get to the technical challenge where you
have nine perfectly decorated fond and fancies, taste and bake
under the Gingham blankie is in fact what they need
to use or not use? So let me ask you this.
So they gave him crushed up almonds? Was that to
throw them off? Was that like, oh okay, this was.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
The first ever, like just go for it.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh, it was the first ever go for it.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Like no recipe to follow, just to they didn't really
like they did no recipe last year though, which one well.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I don't remember what they made, but I remember that
being no recipe.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
This one was just like have this thing, try it,
this is what we're and then recreate it. So that
they had five minutes with the thing and then they
took it away, which I didn't think i'd seen that before.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You know what, I'm sorry, I probably am getting it
confused with Top Chef, to be honest with you. Oh okay, yeah,
because I have seen that before. So if it wasn't
on this, it was definitely on Top Chef.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah. I thought that was cool because that's what you
would do if you were like traveling around trying to
figure out like inspiration for something, you would try it
and then try to recreate it. Yeah, so I thought
it was a great idea.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I did too, and boy did those look terrible. I mean,
every last one of them. I'm gonna lie. I was like, yeah, yeah,
going nasty.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Except for late and It's like, this is really good.
I'm gonna make this tonight when I get home, and
I'm like okay, and then Paul's like, oh, you.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Do that, buddy, And why don't you, you know, based
on your taste level, why don't you stay home with Hassan? Okay,
I'm just stay home. And Prue was just like everything,
it's clumsy, it's clumsy. It's clumsy. That is clumsy, too,
clumsy I'm like, yeah, it's clumsy and looking disgusting. Jessica won.
(28:36):
Oh no, Jessica's second place. Toby was first despite the
ground almonds.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
How did he get away with that?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
No, I think everyone did almonds. So that's why Paul
was like, hold up, you're winning first in like a
list of shit.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
So right. Yeah. They were like yeah, He's like, no, no,
you don't anybody applaud.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
That was kind of funny.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
He's like, slow yours Swiss rolls, okay, when we're not
cheering for this challenge. Do you have anything else to
say on those little you know, those fencecenes.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, because I will like the landscape cakes.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Okay, talk to me about the landscape cakes. What did
you think that was crazy?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Jane?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It was crazy, Jane. I felt bad that that guy's
little jello pond fell apart. I think that was also
the guy that won the technical right, was that Toby.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Toby had the Jacob's Ladder and he had that little
water feature.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah feature, because a lot of these, if you google
landscape cakes, like a lot of them are like half
like a gelatin thing and they are like water. They
look like the inside of an ocean. With a big
cliff and they're like really cool looking. But I think
that those need a lot of time to set, and
I just don't think that they had that time. But
(30:04):
and then I was like, I was kind of frustrated
that people were just drawing pictures on a regular cake.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah, well, now that I understand more about what it's
like to build, you know, one of these landscape cakes
that you're supposed to really make the landscape like the terrain. Yeah,
when you get over to Jasmine's Scottish Highland, it's like,
what are we doing? You know, you're just tearing up
(30:34):
a regular cake and then putting, you know, drawing trees
on it with mushrooms.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
So I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Now, a landscape cake is a great idea to do
with like your young child who doesn't.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Really want to bake.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
But you're like, crush up these oreos and just like
scatter them all over this side, you know, because it
seems like it could be messy and fun.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Right when they're slicing those cakes down, I'd be like,
I was like, give me all them scraps. Yeah, I
want to eat all the cake scraps.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I didn't think that I would like it so much
from a taste standpoint when they cut it. But I
was like, oh, it really doesn't matter if it's in
this type of form as long as it just is
good inside. And it seems very challenging to do a
landscape cake and then still have the layers be somewhat intact,
Like I don't know, I don't know how they do that.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
That's well, it's hard.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I really can't believe Ian pulled it off. I've never
seen somebody go from where he was total destruction to
like excellent.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Really, in all the thirteen seasons, you've never seen that.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
No, because usually what happens is they have a real
moment and then they just kind of get it to
as good as it can be and then they pull
bring it up to judged and Paul and Brute tell
them why it didn't work, and then they either. But
(32:06):
it's still like the most horrible day. Not only did
that not happen, they didn't even bring it up. They
didn't even say like we heard like there was some
structure issues here or anything like. Ian brought that cake
up and they were like, well done, this is amazing,
a real triumph.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Seamless all.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I mean, it was a perfect example of faking it
till you make it and just being like, this is
what I intended on doing. But when that thing started
to collapse, like you know, like molten lava, yeah, coming
out of a volcano, I just did not think there
(32:46):
was any way for him to get it back. And
quite frankly, I don't know how he did. How did
he do that?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He put it in the freezer so it like got solid,
and then he just had before it. Yeah, we reformed it,
put in the freezer and then like it had enough
time to like seal up a little bit, And I
was like, they better cut into that cake quick before.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Right, right? May better?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Oh and then what about the leaning Tower of Mumbles?
That was so funny that made me laugh.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Mumbles, mumbles, We made mumbles. I'm making mumbles. Uh Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I also really love Natalia's Ukraine landscape cake.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
That was amazing.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I like, with a little heart on Kiev. I thought
that was awesome.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yes on Kiev or do you pronounce it Kiev?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Kiev? Did I say Kiev?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Well it sounded like it.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Wow, take this cancel this episode.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I mean to call you out, but I'm pretty sure. Yeah,
I'm bringing it up, it's a disaster, and tell me
how I screwed up the structure and send me home.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
I'm leaving the pronunciation the pronunciation tent.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Pronounce the yes, I will say. Who did that apple cake?
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Was that Jasmine? Let me see here with.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
The with the apples from her neighbor's tree.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Oh yeah, that was really sweet and.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Smart because Prue loves loves loves an apple cake.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Oh she does.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, so I thought, good on you, smart Jessica. It
was Jessica. She had a little hammock on it. She
had the but Paul said it's a big hammock and
She's like, I'm a big girl.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Well it was really sweeter story about was it her
neighbor whose apple tee?
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah? Yeah, a friend that was in her nineties and
then died before she could see her on bakeoff, So
she saved apples from her tree and then brought them.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
That's really sweet.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Yeah, great first step, great first app Absolutely loved it.
All right, Well, you guys, we're going to take a
quick break. When we come back, we're talking the Real
Housewives of London. Stay right there, Let's head into this
fall season and let's get healthy you guys, yeeha, have
you ever heard of Cowboy colostrum. I'm so excited to
(35:12):
be doing this ad. We've all been there, eating clean,
taking your supplements, doing everything right, but your gut still
feels off, your energy is low, your skin's not glowing.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
It's hard being a cabaret star like myself. So I'm
trying to gear up for my show in November, and
I'm so glad that Cowboy Colostrum is along for the ride,
because I feel like I'm going to get there and
I'm going to be in my prime come November. Let
me tell you what it is, okay. Colostrum is often
called liquid gold. You've heard of it. It's nature's original
super food, if you will. It's the first nutrition we
(35:46):
get at birth, packed with immune factors, growth compounds, and nutrients.
Your body still craves today. Well, Cowboy Colostrum uses only
the highest quality colostrum, whole first day milking, never tripped
or overprocessed, and always ethically harvested after the calf gets
their share. And it's so easy. You just mix it
(36:08):
into your coffee or your milk or you're smoothie. I
just did it this morning in my coffee. I love
the vanilla. It tastes amazing. And if you have more
of a sweet tooth, get the strawberry, which is just restocked.
That's the word on the street, and it tastes like
a milkshake. People swear by this for gut health, hair growth, immunity,
and recovery, and I need all of those. I need
(36:28):
my nutrients and my antibodies this fall.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
I need a.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Strong immune system and I know you do too. I
just started and I can't wait to share my experience
in real time with you guys. And for a limited time,
my Darling listeners get twenty percent off their entire order.
That is a great deal. Just head on over to

them that I sent you. Okay, welcome back. We are
talking the Real Housewives of London. This is our British invasion.
(37:12):
Emily Theresa's is joining me and I'll tell you what,
watching this really invigorated me for the type of aspirational
housewives that I really enjoy. You know, here in the US,
we have very little of those left in terms of
like money and things like that, so.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
We know too much. I'm sure if like this show
just started, we would be like, whoa, you know, Jen
and Tamra have are loaded. But then we would be like,
wait a second, they've been sued a hundred times, Like
we know too much.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
So not to say we won't, you know, uncover that
with London, I mean, I guess we don't really know
what that's saying.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
That's okay, but I.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Mean Panthea talking about how she spent like the equivalent
of three hundred dollars in heron's one day.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
So did Erica Jane and look where we are.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
And there you go.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah, And then we had Juliette, who's like or Amanda. No,
I think it was Juliette, who's like her last husband.
They were in such social demand that they were on
like six superyachts in three months.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yeah, that's the Australian that has to be your current
husband because they've been married twenty years.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Right, Oh sure, I don't know. You know, I'm just
getting to know these ladies. This is the first episode
I will say.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
I'm going to get it all right.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
I'm with you, I'm going to get everything wrong. I
think I'm totally with you on the aspirational stuff because
I am like totally blown away. But then the second
I googled like Amanda, I was like, oh, oh really.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
She seems so impressive with her skincare line and like
everything she said in her incredible home and it's a
stone's throw from the castle, and I mean it's just
so many things.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Got a settlement. She got a sudden like settlement in
her divorce. Oh sudden strack style settlement. Woo, like hundreds
of millions of dollars. So yeah, like of course, like
she's got a lot of money to fund a great
skincare line to just try or I mean if it
(39:16):
was in the US, it could be a write off.
But like yeah, I was just like all right, because
I was like wow, like what's how did she fund this?
Speaker 3 (39:25):
And then I also thought it was her company had
been going on for a long time the way that
she was, like, im she the first person in the
UK or in England to have done this at Sacks Oh.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
In twenty twenty two.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
She started her sign Caroline on the.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
First person to do this at zaxon twenty twenty two. Here, okay,
I'm bad right now, I see this is your right.
This is where we started the veil. Once we really
get down to breast tacks, and I'm just like letting
I'm getting the broad strokes in right now.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
I'm just gonna get you a one at od.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I'll give you a stroke for a broad Do you remember?
This is also what I saw when I googled Amanda.
What is that gal with pe k that we talked
about in the news in June that he was running
around with another housewife?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Oh my god, that's her. Okay, so that's Amanda.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
I'm a queen. Now we're talking.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Now, we're talking. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
We just lifted ever so delicately the veil. Yes, we
have right under.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
And then I'm like, well, when are these ladies gonna
like rip each other's faces off? If in fact they will?
And then we get to like the International Woman's Day
as they say, they don't say women's they say Woman's
I'm like, just like Jersey and and they had like
this thought. And then we get like Panthea and Juliet
(41:09):
in this knockdown, dragout dentist like dentist Gate, which is
begging so many questions.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Emilie, Yeah, every time.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
It's explained to me, I am so much further away
from Panthea's side of things that I'm back in the
United States because she is just like, doesn't it seem
totally crazy?
Speaker 3 (41:31):
It seems completely unrealistic that a dentist would not do
what you ask them to do but then did basically
malpractice by not doing X rays on someone's mouth but
then saying that they're cavities and then doing six or seven.
She didn't even have the number. She didn't even have
(41:53):
the number it was six or seven, didn't even have it.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
But Philip, how is that?
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Juliet just defended just said like, lighten up on social
media because that the dentist was her friend. So I'm
kind of like, you know, what's up, Panthea, Like, Juliette
didn't do this. And by the way, there's going to
be a second Juliet so.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
I know I can't wait. Because Juliette was on the
original Ladies of London, Juliette other Juliet Yes, the other
one who isn't in the first episode.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Yeah right.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
But look, if.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
If in fact this dentist did do what Panthea is
saying she did, I suppose I might be going absolutely
bonkers on the internet as well to warn people not
to go to a dentist who's going to go rogue
in your child's mouth. That's true, But I don't know
if any of this is true. Like I said, you
(42:49):
don't even know how many fillings he got. And and
then furthermore, like, what is the what's the dental practice
in the UK?
Speaker 4 (43:00):
What are we looking at?
Speaker 2 (43:01):
You know?
Speaker 3 (43:01):
And were these was she giving him free fillings? And
if so, I mean it's for doing him a favor M.
But I don't think there was. I don't I don't
understand any of that.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
I just was like, yeah, I but we're coming out
of the gate pretty hot about like something that first
of all happened six years ago.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
That was like six years ago.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's what Juliette M said. She's like, wait,
this is like six years.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
That's amazing, Okay, I love it already.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
It's But then to Panthea's point, it's been six years
of Juliette m cold shouldering her and acting like she's
above it and whatever. And I can see as a
mother that would be very like you didn't have my
back and then you acted like you're better than me
at social get togethers. But then I'm like, Panthea, you
(44:02):
probably haven't done yourself any favors, because at one point,
I can't believe it. I don't know if it's this
episode or the next one where she's talking about how
she's going to go right up to Prince or now
King Charles and be.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Like, what's up with Harry and get a selfie? Like
don't ask about Harry. It says, don't ask about Harry.
I'm like, I know exactly who Paty is. Yep, I
was gonna say, Nessie seems legit.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Her business story those kids talk about going from the
Great British takeoff to her going from like banking to
baking or whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
I can't believe those cakes.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
I can't believe now sweets, I know.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
I love that pancake with the black bows. I absolutely
loved Amanda's fusia dress. I love the clothes, love the
confessional looks. And loving the styles.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
I'm really like this was the housewives we needed.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Mmm.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
I don't think I could have like hard launched into
another It's so elegant. As they say, it is very
fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
It is very fun to watch, and I can't wait
till Juliet Angus enters the scene next time we watch
episode two. And then there's another housewife, Karen, who.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Yeah, she had the party. She's having a party. See
I watched the first two episodes, so it's a little
blurry for me, but she's she's going to have a
party at Isabelle. And she has like a six a
five floor oh right, townhouse that she's making into six
and that rehab of that is like years.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Well, it's hard to build. It's hard to build in
London town.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
I know that building. There's a couple of them. Do
you remember the They all look like Sonia Morgan's townhouse.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Oh all right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yes, right, right, but like with working toilets and yeah,
you know, somewhat of an upkeep situation. No Tino shade,
but cheers. All right, Well, listen, this is just broad strokes.
Welcome in Real Housewives of London.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
Oh Nessie made the Queen's ninetieth birthday cake. Just I'm
very oh yeah, that's rsty.
Speaker 3 (46:19):

Wow, and this is only the second season that I've
been watching this thanks to you, Emily.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, and now you get it because a year ago
when we were recapping this and you were like, oh,
that was cool that Paul gave a handshake to the
third person in the opening two minutes of the show,
and I was like, that was not cool, Amy. These
burning handshakes left and right don't matter. Yeah, So I
(05:49):
will just open this with I was very glad spoiler alert,
no handshakes this second episode.
Speaker 3 (05:56):

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Thank you for listening to this podcast. So I hope

Real Housewives of London and The Great British Baking Show.
So hats off to you, darlings, and please message me,
you know, let me know what you think. Okay, drama
Darlings with a Z at gmail dot com. I will
(06:33):
read your comments on the show. And great to see
the cast back looking fabulous, looking healthy. It was a
bit of a jump scare to see everybody in that
Jurassic Park promo.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Okay, that was my favorite promo that bakeoff has done.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Oh really, so they do a lot of these, because
I don't remember promo last year.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
They always opened the season with it.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Last year they always do Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They always to Jurassic Park. But this year, like they
brought it back to the nineteen ninety three Jurassic No,
but they did Barbie one year. But it just felt
like a be too late and this is like, let's
not even go for time late. And I was but
it was great, so good.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I love I mean, the dinosaur was fantastic. Those pants,
I'm in the pants. You want to see pants on
a dinosaur and with British humor. That's what you're gonna get,
and that's what we got.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
And I loved it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Oh, I thought you were talking about pruise makeup and
hair and beard. I thought that's where you met what
you said, pants on a dinosaur beard on her face?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh wow, Well bob bam bam, bam, bam, bam bam bam.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Whoa Okay, love how hard she went for it. That
was awesome.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
She was so committed like us. I was really proud
of her. I was proud. It seemed like she did
some acting technique work. I don't know, it just felt
like that.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
It was great and the actually made me like when
Noel said about creating a dinosaur or a Paul Hollywood
was yeah, you could have, but you should have. But
could you have? You like flipped that could have and show.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
He is so funny.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
One of the things I love about him is when
he's talking to the contestants, he you know that term lately,
which is like matching energy. Yeah, so it's so overused,
it's very trendy. But he he's not like a comedian
that comes like table to table and makes it about
(08:40):
him and does all his jokes on his own and
like to the camera, and he connects with each baker
and he brings out the best in each person.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Do you notice it really does?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I know, I know I noticed it right away because
like when he first came on a couple of years ago,
people nervous because like he's such an absurdist comic, like
from the Mighty Boosh, and so people are like, what
the hell is this going to be? But it was great,
Like he's so gentle when he needs to be. He
kind of does bits. He's only once in a while
going to knock a cake off a counter.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I mean right right, that was yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
But he uh, he's.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Great because he's so kooky.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
He like loosens people up, and then when he goes
and jokes around with them, they feel comfortable joking around
with him. And that is a very rare gift to
have in a comedian, in anybody, in a host anything
like that, because you know, and so I just want
to say hats off to him.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
He's He's amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
The whole cast amazing laughs when they make a joke,
which is huge for disarming them and making them feel
comfortable and making them look better, and that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
That's what I'm saying. And he genuinely is just delighting
in all of it, Like I love it. He just
brings so much joy to the whole show. I honestly
don't know like what they would do without him because
he's such a huge like he to me is like
the heart and soul of it. I mean, the judges
are obviously great, I understand, but like he really is
the glue. He kind of brings the baking judges and
(10:16):
then the host side together along with the contestants.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
And I stand firm on that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, I watch all these no Fielder hitters be like
dear drama darling, no.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But I also think Alison is the purpose fit.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
She is amazing.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And when they were doing the Jurassic Park bit and
Noel like booped her on the nose and she was
like totally dying laughing. I love that bar They're so cute.
I love her class act, class act. All right, Well, listen,
even though it's been one hundred degrees up here in
Santa Clarita, it is going to turn into fall here
(10:56):
at some point. And I know wherever you guys live,
it's probably turning out to fall a lot sooner than here.
And I just love the feeling of starting to watch
this show with like, you know, because it feels like fall.
You want to start baking, you want to start cooking more,
and it's just a cozy show.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So it is a cozy show. Yeah, I feel like
it started. It starts a little later usually, but like
it's always about this time. But I was very hot
watching it. I was like, why am I so hot
watching bake Off?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, that will go away soon. Just let's let's hang tight.
Let's hang tight. The first challenge, what is called the
first challenge Emily Eminett.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Is the signature sorry, thank you actually signature signature technical
and then.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Showstopper okay, signature challenge swiss roll with two different fillings,
creating the perfect swell dolling. All right, listen, if you
don't want to hear about sponge cake, turn the channel.
You know, don't, don't listen, because it's all about the
sponge on this show. And I gotta ask a baking question.
And I'm sorry to sound so deft, but are all
(12:09):
cakes sponge cakes just varying degrees of sponges? So, like,
if I am making a cake like at home, like
a birthday cake? Is that a sponge When I get
like a Betty Crocker cake mix, is that a sponge cake?
Like I don't even know sponge Okay, so they're all
sponge cakes, just vary, you know, like how sponge.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Cake looks like a sponge when you look at it,
because it has like it looks as like little holes, Like, yeah,
it's a sponge cake. But that's why when they got
to round two, they were all like, all right, I'm
just going to use my basic kind of sponge cake recipe.
Now you can argue like, but there's pound cake, crumb cake, but.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
At the heart of it, it's all sponge Yeah, okay. Well,
you know, with British Baking Show, these judges, they really
throw me for a loop because every single time they
talk about sponge it's like I'm hearing it for the
first time, you know, I'm like, what is this sponge cake?
You know, because the way that they talk about it
(13:04):
every single episode in so many different ways to describe it.
It's amazing to me how you can break down the
same type of cake based on just the amount of
time you're baking it and perhaps the amount of different ingredients,
but they're always the same ingredients.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Is that Is that what we're looking for here?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I mean I think so, yeah, I mean, so this
one has is gonna take because it has to have
more flexibility. So you're gonna probably you know, I forget
what they had to put more of in, but it's
all like at that point, you're just dealing with you.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Know, science, chemicals, yeah, and science. Okay, okay, all right, okay.
I mean that is like a very nuanced thing because
if you're gonna, like for the first like with the
Perfect Swirl Cake, you need to be it's gotta be
spongy enough to do the rolling.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, gotta beautiful and he can't pull apart and.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
It can't fall apart. Dude, I don't even know that.
This first episode honestly was giving me so much anxiety.
I had a lot of like this was tough to watch.
I mean with like the cakes that were falling apart, well,
I mean the cake that fell apart Ian's cake and
the other challenge.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Oh my god, show yes that can be a heart attack.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
But with the Perfect Swirl Cake, I mean this was
them doing these inlay designs.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I was like how do they do that?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
And to see them sketch it out then have to
do such specific you know, thank you piping with the
design freeze it. And then when Wats's toes forgot to
put the flour in his leg and then like had
to scrape it off of the design, I was like,
(14:57):
I can't, I cannot watch this.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
This is stressing me out.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I got very nervous for him.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
He was.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
He was definitely the one I was like, oh, oh,
boys out soon. But that Hassan.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Was like hold on, okay, okay, yeah he I mean
this guy wow, And everyone was having to do things
over again, like two people had to like redo their
kords and way I.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Don't know, and then someone had to redo their karmel.
Wasn't it Hassan who had to redo the I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Know, Yeah, Hassan had to do. I mean also like yah, Camel, Yeah,
Caramel's if I've learned anything, I've learned karmel is very
hard in the tent. And I think it's because you
make it a certain way at home and because it's
really hard to figure out depending on what you need
it for, that's your you kind of change your whole baseline.
(15:51):
Once you get into that tent and it's like you
don't know how hot it's going to be. You don't know,
like you just aren't dealing with the same things you
deal with at home.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
That like the nerves just being in there and then
having to do what you may have done a bunch
of times. And then but then you get these other
contestants who are like, well, I tried this once, hope
it works again. And Stopper that was also a son,
I'm so bummed, like he uh he left right he was, Yeah,
(16:24):
he had to go.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
He was like, I was bummed because his personality was
so fun.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I here's I'm pitching this to you, bake off producers
one season where it's all just get all the people
that exited on the first episode and put them on
Love Island. Would actually I want to see the song.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
And they have instead of making breakfast for each other,
they have to like make a perfect sponge of.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Something hot in the hot ass sun. Yes, right right, yeah,
I think yeah, it would be great to see all
those people that had to leave right away come back
for a full season and just see because they have
they've they've vetted all these people. They all deserve to
be there, And what I've heard the judges say is
(17:15):
that bakers are getting better and better. So have the
people that left the first round come back and make
that you're thirteen or whatever.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
To think that there are thousands of people who tried
to get on this show and you got someone who's
like I tried this at home once.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I'm like, how did you get through? You know what
I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Right? Yeah? I think I felt Sometimes there's those ones
that are like, I don't know, I'm winging it, and
then they crush it, and so I never know where
to land on that.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Okay, fair enough, fair enough, Well I want to go
through some of these swirls because I was very impressed
obviously Ian who did his like school, that was insane,
I know. I mean that it looked like it was
going to be a winner, just based on the sketch
(18:08):
alone when we saw what he was going to do,
and then when we saw him doing his inlay. But
of course you're worried about how it's all going to
come together, and to the fact that it was incredible
and I actually loved it looked really good too. It
had cherry jam, it had marshmallow cream, now the fifteens.
The fifteen like smart, it was like it's some coconut digestives.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, it's like all these like junk foods over there.
That's why they were making fun of him for like
the combination of ingredients. Oh yeah, the fifteens is fifteen
of each main ingredient, So fifteen digestive biscuits, which are
cookies that have chocolate on him for Americans, fifteen marshmallows,
(18:53):
fifteen candied cherries, and then condensed milk and coconut for coating.
It's like a tray bake, you know, you put it
in and like bark it up or whatever. Got it?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
And I remember now from last year that I learned
that their cookies are digestives.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, right, that's the brand. That's a brand.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah, it's a brand. Oh okay, yeah yeah, whereas it's terrible. Yeah,
but they're great here. It's like a compari, you know,
a drink at the end of your mail. Yeah right,
but yeah, he his was amazing.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
It was a great challenge they put them through the
ringer because these these like rolls, these little Swiss rolls
were so challenging. And then the landscape cake was intense. Okay,
So moving on with the Swiss rolls. Uh, the Puimns.
I liked, She's really good. I like her her lemon
and Macha Swiss roll looked really good. She looks like
(19:50):
a very talented baker.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Well yeah, but Manda come out of the gate with Macha.
Paul does not like Macha.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I don't blame, so I don't. I wouldn't like it either,
So that's that was tricky.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That was fine. I'm just saying, Look, if Amy or
Paul is your judge, know what they like, right, know
what they don't like, and don't do that.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
That's smart. I don't, at least on the smart.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
First challenge, don't do it like work your way into it.
To me, I'm like, I don't know much about Paul Hollywood,
but I know he doesn't like Machia.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
You should know that, everybody.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
You should know that Aaron did not finish that Honeybee thing.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
That was a bummer.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Oh so I thought he did, Like then I thought
he did finish shit, And then they were like, this
looks better without it, But you think he didn't finish.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
He only finished half of the top of the icing.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh okay, well it was like a shell and then
they lifted it off. I thought that was intentional, but
I guess not.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
It didn't look finished to me.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Well see that's what So.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
That's what Pruce said, that's the new like, that's what
she said. She said, that's what said. Are you a
lemon person? Like, oh yeah, you totally are you? Like
oh yeah, yeah, so that's what.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It's really good to me too. It's a hole out
of that roll. Yeah, it right in the middle, down
the middle, down the right down. Shoving it through Hassan's
chocolate mess with just those shards of chocolate sticking up looked.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Just like such a disaster.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
It's always fun to see though, Like I can't lie,
it's fun to see a disaster cake.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
But it tasted great. So then I was like, well,
he might be here, like he might have saved it,
because sometimes that saves it, because if something's not edible
or ror, as Paul would say, it's roar in the middle,
it's not cooked, it's rar, then that gets you right
(21:59):
down under the bottom. Yeah, and we might be at
home being like, but it looks so cool.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
That's it doesn't taste good. It doesn't matter it's not
Cake Boss. All right, we're not doing.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Ma'am.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
No, wait, what do you say? Are you saying cake
bus doesn't taste good?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Are you saying cake busses?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Rok?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I don't want cake Boss coming for me because I
freaking love the Cake Boss.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Like, yeah, I hadn't.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
We all had an addiction to cake Boss at one
point or another. But no, I just think that like
that show is only based on the design, has nothing
to do with the taste or the flavor.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
And you know, getting.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Enough the stairs, this gate stairs, Yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Didn't get it through this door. How are we going
to do the door into the truck in this amount
of time?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
When my dad built the bakery, he made a hobbit
hole sized tunnel for us to build cakes and move
them through, and then he put ten flights of stairs.
And now I'm here with the cake.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
So we have a crane and a bucket and we're
gonna just you know, use a Pulley system down.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yeah, that's right. So I got this pocketbook, cack. This
lady wants a pocket book cake.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I forgot about pocket book. It takes me right back.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
We love it. We love it.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
The closest I can come to this Swiss role is
I've done a log roll before, so didn't have two
different fillings. And when these gals, when these people, I
should say, are throwing in like large chunks of strawberry,
I'm like, you know what you deserve. You deserve to
not have your role roll. Okay, what do you expect?
(23:52):
You think you could mush it up a little bit,
it's getting lumpy. How are you going to roll this thing?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You are right? And I think Amy, your log cake
is a Swiss roll.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I would say, oh, thank you, give yourself very much.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
And I'm facing I don't think you have to have
two flavors, because like Little Debbie is a Swiss roll.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, I guess it is a Swiss roll.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You're right, Yeah, pat yourself on the back.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I'm going to oh, my arth right his hand. I
love a nice log roll. And I guess it's called
a log roll because I've only made it the holidays
and that's why I'm calling it a log roll. But
any other time of the year it would be a
Swiss roll.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
And they've made log rolls on there too. I think, yeah,
we're getting caught up in the names.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
But are semantics.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
We've been to each of these destinations.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But you know, when I've rolled it up, you know
what really helps.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Cheese cloth. You have to be beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Cheese cloth in order to lay your spongee on that
and simply roll it. I've tried a cheese cloth, and
I've also tried just a plain old kitchen towel.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Both work. Both work.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
That sounds and what was your design?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
It was a log? I mean it was a fucking
I'm joking, oh Christmas ass motherfucking chocolate log with powdered
sugar like it was left out in the fucking snow.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
MLA wa, sorry, what is yours?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I don't definitely not anything that. It was just like
chocolate and like hard ass vanilla icing because like that's
I remember making it when I was a kid, and
that was like my mom's jam was like this shit icing.
It was like coil icing times, Like my mom is
really awesome at designing and making cakes. Oh, but the
(25:59):
icing for me was always like they killed it. It
was like that seventies eighties homemade icing that was just like.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Wow, it'll knack in the face, yeah, yes, right right,
it's gonna stick you know.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Oh yeah it does.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
You could have used it for that fond and fancy.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
But anyway, Ian won the swirl thing. I mean, I
just want to mention Tom's Tartan roll looked really cool.
Did you have a favorite one? I really like the
Tartan one.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Tartan was very cool. It hit me right out of
the gate. But I gotta give it up to Ian
because I didn't think he could pull it off, and
he did.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Yeah. Okay, very good, very good.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
So now we get to the technical challenge where you
have nine perfectly decorated fond and fancies, taste and bake
under the Gingham blankie is in fact what they need
to use or not use? So let me ask you this.
So they gave him crushed up almonds? Was that to
throw them off? Was that like, oh okay, this was.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
The first ever, like just go for it.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh, it was the first ever go for it.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Like no recipe to follow, just to they didn't really
like they did no recipe last year though, which one well.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
I don't remember what they made, but I remember that
being no recipe.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
This one was just like have this thing, try it,
this is what we're and then recreate it. So that
they had five minutes with the thing and then they
took it away, which I didn't think i'd seen that before.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You know what, I'm sorry, I probably am getting it
confused with Top Chef, to be honest with you. Oh okay, yeah,
because I have seen that before. So if it wasn't
on this, it was definitely on Top Chef.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah. I thought that was cool because that's what you
would do if you were like traveling around trying to
figure out like inspiration for something, you would try it
and then try to recreate it. Yeah, so I thought
it was a great idea.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I did too, and boy did those look terrible. I mean,
every last one of them. I'm gonna lie. I was like, yeah, yeah,
going nasty.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Except for late and It's like, this is really good.
I'm gonna make this tonight when I get home, and
I'm like okay, and then Paul's like, oh, you.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Do that, buddy, And why don't you, you know, based
on your taste level, why don't you stay home with Hassan? Okay,
I'm just stay home. And Prue was just like everything,
it's clumsy, it's clumsy. It's clumsy. That is clumsy, too,
clumsy I'm like, yeah, it's clumsy and looking disgusting. Jessica won.
(28:36):
Oh no, Jessica's second place. Toby was first despite the
ground almonds.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
How did he get away with that?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
No, I think everyone did almonds. So that's why Paul
was like, hold up, you're winning first in like a
list of shit.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
So right. Yeah. They were like yeah, He's like, no, no,
you don't anybody applaud.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
That was kind of funny.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
He's like, slow yours Swiss rolls, okay, when we're not
cheering for this challenge. Do you have anything else to
say on those little you know, those fencecenes.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
No, because I will like the landscape cakes.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Okay, talk to me about the landscape cakes. What did
you think that was crazy?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Jane?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It was crazy, Jane. I felt bad that that guy's
little jello pond fell apart. I think that was also
the guy that won the technical right, was that Toby.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Toby had the Jacob's Ladder and he had that little
water feature.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah feature, because a lot of these, if you google
landscape cakes, like a lot of them are like half
like a gelatin thing and they are like water. They
look like the inside of an ocean. With a big
cliff and they're like really cool looking. But I think
that those need a lot of time to set, and
I just don't think that they had that time. But
(30:04):
and then I was like, I was kind of frustrated
that people were just drawing pictures on a regular cake.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Yeah, well, now that I understand more about what it's
like to build, you know, one of these landscape cakes
that you're supposed to really make the landscape like the terrain. Yeah,
when you get over to Jasmine's Scottish Highland, it's like,
what are we doing? You know, you're just tearing up
(30:34):
a regular cake and then putting, you know, drawing trees
on it with mushrooms.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
So I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Now, a landscape cake is a great idea to do
with like your young child who doesn't.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Really want to bake.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
But you're like, crush up these oreos and just like
scatter them all over this side, you know, because it
seems like it could be messy and fun.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Right when they're slicing those cakes down, I'd be like,
I was like, give me all them scraps. Yeah, I
want to eat all the cake scraps.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I didn't think that I would like it so much
from a taste standpoint when they cut it. But I
was like, oh, it really doesn't matter if it's in
this type of form as long as it just is
good inside. And it seems very challenging to do a
landscape cake and then still have the layers be somewhat intact,
Like I don't know, I don't know how they do that.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
That's well, it's hard.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I really can't believe Ian pulled it off. I've never
seen somebody go from where he was total destruction to
like excellent.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Really, in all the thirteen seasons, you've never seen that.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
No, because usually what happens is they have a real
moment and then they just kind of get it to
as good as it can be and then they pull
bring it up to judged and Paul and Brute tell
them why it didn't work, and then they either. But
(32:06):
it's still like the most horrible day. Not only did
that not happen, they didn't even bring it up. They
didn't even say like we heard like there was some
structure issues here or anything like. Ian brought that cake
up and they were like, well done, this is amazing,
a real triumph.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Seamless all.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I mean, it was a perfect example of faking it
till you make it and just being like, this is
what I intended on doing. But when that thing started
to collapse, like you know, like molten lava, yeah, coming
out of a volcano, I just did not think there
(32:46):
was any way for him to get it back. And
quite frankly, I don't know how he did. How did
he do that?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He put it in the freezer so it like got solid,
and then he just had before it. Yeah, we reformed it,
put in the freezer and then like it had enough
time to like seal up a little bit, And I
was like, they better cut into that cake quick before.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Right, right? May better?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Oh and then what about the leaning Tower of Mumbles?
That was so funny that made me laugh.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Mumbles, mumbles, We made mumbles. I'm making mumbles. Uh Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I also really love Natalia's Ukraine landscape cake.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
That was amazing.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I like, with a little heart on Kiev. I thought
that was awesome.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yes on Kiev or do you pronounce it Kiev?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Kiev? Did I say Kiev?
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Well it sounded like it.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Wow, take this cancel this episode.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I mean to call you out, but I'm pretty sure. Yeah,
I'm bringing it up, it's a disaster, and tell me
how I screwed up the structure and send me home.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
I'm leaving the pronunciation the pronunciation tent.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Pronounce the yes, I will say. Who did that apple cake?
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Was that Jasmine? Let me see here with.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
The with the apples from her neighbor's tree.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Oh yeah, that was really sweet and.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Smart because Prue loves loves loves an apple cake.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Oh she does.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, so I thought, good on you, smart Jessica. It
was Jessica. She had a little hammock on it. She
had the but Paul said it's a big hammock and
She's like, I'm a big girl.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Well it was really sweeter story about was it her
neighbor whose apple tee?
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah? Yeah, a friend that was in her nineties and
then died before she could see her on bakeoff, So
she saved apples from her tree and then brought them.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
That's really sweet.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Yeah, great first step, great first app Absolutely loved it.
All right, Well, you guys, we're going to take a
quick break. When we come back, we're talking the Real
Housewives of London. Stay right there, Let's head into this
fall season and let's get healthy you guys, yeeha, have
you ever heard of Cowboy colostrum. I'm so excited to
(35:12):
be doing this ad. We've all been there, eating clean,
taking your supplements, doing everything right, but your gut still
feels off, your energy is low, your skin's not glowing.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
It's hard being a cabaret star like myself. So I'm
trying to gear up for my show in November, and
I'm so glad that Cowboy Colostrum is along for the ride,
because I feel like I'm going to get there and
I'm going to be in my prime come November. Let
me tell you what it is, okay. Colostrum is often
called liquid gold. You've heard of it. It's nature's original
super food, if you will. It's the first nutrition we
(35:46):
get at birth, packed with immune factors, growth compounds, and nutrients.
Your body still craves today. Well, Cowboy Colostrum uses only
the highest quality colostrum, whole first day milking, never tripped
or overprocessed, and always ethically harvested after the calf gets
their share. And it's so easy. You just mix it
(36:08):
into your coffee or your milk or you're smoothie. I
just did it this morning in my coffee. I love
the vanilla. It tastes amazing. And if you have more
of a sweet tooth, get the strawberry, which is just restocked.
That's the word on the street, and it tastes like
a milkshake. People swear by this for gut health, hair growth, immunity,
and recovery, and I need all of those. I need
(36:28):
my nutrients and my antibodies this fall.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
I need a.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Strong immune system and I know you do too. I
just started and I can't wait to share my experience
in real time with you guys. And for a limited time,
my Darling listeners get twenty percent off their entire order.
That is a great deal. Just head on over to

them that I sent you. Okay, welcome back. We are
talking the Real Housewives of London. This is our British invasion.
(37:12):
Emily Theresa's is joining me and I'll tell you what,
watching this really invigorated me for the type of aspirational
housewives that I really enjoy. You know, here in the US,
we have very little of those left in terms of
like money and things like that, so.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
We know too much. I'm sure if like this show
just started, we would be like, whoa, you know, Jen
and Tamra have are loaded. But then we would be like,
wait a second, they've been sued a hundred times, Like
we know too much.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
So not to say we won't, you know, uncover that
with London, I mean, I guess we don't really know
what that's saying.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
That's okay, but I.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Mean Panthea talking about how she spent like the equivalent
of three hundred dollars in heron's one day.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
So did Erica Jane and look where we are.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
And there you go.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah, And then we had Juliette, who's like or Amanda. No,
I think it was Juliette, who's like her last husband.
They were in such social demand that they were on
like six superyachts in three months.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yeah, that's the Australian that has to be your current
husband because they've been married twenty years.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Right, Oh sure, I don't know. You know, I'm just
getting to know these ladies. This is the first episode
I will say.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
I'm going to get it all right.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
I'm with you, I'm going to get everything wrong. I
think I'm totally with you on the aspirational stuff because
I am like totally blown away. But then the second
I googled like Amanda, I was like, oh, oh really.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
She seems so impressive with her skincare line and like
everything she said in her incredible home and it's a
stone's throw from the castle, and I mean it's just
so many things.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Got a settlement. She got a sudden like settlement in
her divorce. Oh sudden strack style settlement. Woo, like hundreds
of millions of dollars. So yeah, like of course, like
she's got a lot of money to fund a great
skincare line to just try or I mean if it
(39:16):
was in the US, it could be a write off.
But like yeah, I was just like all right, because
I was like wow, like what's how did she fund this?
Speaker 3 (39:25):
And then I also thought it was her company had
been going on for a long time the way that
she was, like, im she the first person in the
UK or in England to have done this at Sacks Oh.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
In twenty twenty two.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
She started her sign Caroline on the.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
First person to do this at zaxon twenty twenty two. Here, okay,
I'm bad right now, I see this is your right.
This is where we started the veil. Once we really
get down to breast tacks, and I'm just like letting
I'm getting the broad strokes in right now.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
I'm just gonna get you a one at od.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
I'll give you a stroke for a broad Do you remember?
This is also what I saw when I googled Amanda.
What is that gal with pe k that we talked
about in the news in June that he was running
around with another housewife?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Oh my god, that's her. Okay, so that's Amanda.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
I'm a queen. Now we're talking.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Now, we're talking. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
We just lifted ever so delicately the veil. Yes, we
have right under.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
And then I'm like, well, when are these ladies gonna
like rip each other's faces off? If in fact they will?
And then we get to like the International Woman's Day
as they say, they don't say women's they say Woman's
I'm like, just like Jersey and and they had like
this thought. And then we get like Panthea and Juliet
(41:09):
in this knockdown, dragout dentist like dentist Gate, which is
begging so many questions.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Emilie, Yeah, every time.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
It's explained to me, I am so much further away
from Panthea's side of things that I'm back in the
United States because she is just like, doesn't it seem
totally crazy?
Speaker 3 (41:31):
It seems completely unrealistic that a dentist would not do
what you ask them to do but then did basically
malpractice by not doing X rays on someone's mouth but
then saying that they're cavities and then doing six or seven.
She didn't even have the number. She didn't even have
(41:53):
the number it was six or seven, didn't even have it.
Speaker 4 (41:56):
But Philip, how is that?
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Juliet just defended just said like, lighten up on social
media because that the dentist was her friend. So I'm
kind of like, you know, what's up, Panthea, Like, Juliette
didn't do this. And by the way, there's going to
be a second Juliet so.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
I know I can't wait. Because Juliette was on the
original Ladies of London, Juliette other Juliet Yes, the other
one who isn't in the first episode.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Yeah right.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
But look, if.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
If in fact this dentist did do what Panthea is
saying she did, I suppose I might be going absolutely
bonkers on the internet as well to warn people not
to go to a dentist who's going to go rogue
in your child's mouth. That's true, But I don't know
if any of this is true. Like I said, you
(42:49):
don't even know how many fillings he got. And and
then furthermore, like, what is the what's the dental practice
in the UK?
Speaker 4 (43:00):
What are we looking at?
Speaker 2 (43:01):
You know?
Speaker 3 (43:01):
And were these was she giving him free fillings? And
if so, I mean it's for doing him a favor M.
But I don't think there was. I don't I don't
understand any of that.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
I just was like, yeah, I but we're coming out
of the gate pretty hot about like something that first
of all happened six years ago.
Speaker 4 (43:25):
That was like six years ago.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's what Juliette M said. She's like, wait,
this is like six years.
Speaker 4 (43:36):
That's amazing, Okay, I love it already.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
It's But then to Panthea's point, it's been six years
of Juliette m cold shouldering her and acting like she's
above it and whatever. And I can see as a
mother that would be very like you didn't have my
back and then you acted like you're better than me
at social get togethers. But then I'm like, Panthea, you
(44:02):
probably haven't done yourself any favors, because at one point,
I can't believe it. I don't know if it's this
episode or the next one where she's talking about how
she's going to go right up to Prince or now
King Charles and be.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Like, what's up with Harry and get a selfie? Like
don't ask about Harry. It says, don't ask about Harry.
I'm like, I know exactly who Paty is. Yep, I
was gonna say, Nessie seems legit.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Her business story those kids talk about going from the
Great British takeoff to her going from like banking to
baking or whatever it was.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
I can't believe those cakes.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
I can't believe now sweets, I know.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
I love that pancake with the black bows. I absolutely
loved Amanda's fusia dress. I love the clothes, love the
confessional looks. And loving the styles.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
I'm really like this was the housewives we needed.
Speaker 2 (45:02):
Mmm.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
I don't think I could have like hard launched into
another It's so elegant. As they say, it is very
fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
It is very fun to watch, and I can't wait
till Juliet Angus enters the scene next time we watch
episode two. And then there's another housewife, Karen, who.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Yeah, she had the party. She's having a party. See
I watched the first two episodes, so it's a little
blurry for me, but she's she's going to have a
party at Isabelle. And she has like a six a
five floor oh right, townhouse that she's making into six
and that rehab of that is like years.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Well, it's hard to build. It's hard to build in
London town.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
I know that building. There's a couple of them. Do
you remember the They all look like Sonia Morgan's townhouse.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Oh all right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Yes, right, right, but like with working toilets and yeah,
you know, somewhat of an upkeep situation. No Tino shade,
but cheers. All right, Well, listen, this is just broad strokes.
Welcome in Real Housewives of London.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
Oh Nessie made the Queen's ninetieth birthday cake. Just I'm
very oh yeah, that's rsty.
