Speaker 1 (00:05):
Drama Darling, Drama, Darling, Drama, Darling.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, everybody, welcome back in It's drama Darling. We're talking
Miami today. We're heading back over to Richard Branson's Virgin
Cruise and Deanna's here to talk to me about it.
Dianne's how's it going?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Never had that nickname before. I don't mind it.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I don't know where it came from. I guess I'm
turning into Marisol with her nicknames left and right, meeting
Mighty Mouse.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I think they're adorable. I would love for her to
give me a nickname.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I completely agree. What would she give you if I
was if I'm inhabiting her body?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh god, you would have to figure an out.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, mon gosh, Montash so creative, You're so fun funny girl.
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta workshop.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, you gotta get there. But I see your It's
nice to see the the process, you know, be steeped
in process.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Let's get into it. Okay. You know a lot of
Darlings have been on Virgin cruise lines. Hmmm, surprisingly a
good handful. And I was pleased to get some feedback.
And the feedback is strong, so it is not as
you said, you know, you were kind of clarifying that

(01:43):
that is there, Like we were confused. Is that like
an old ship with old decor? Or is this a
new ship with a flashback to eighties decor? And that's that's,
of course what it is, the latter, and you were
leaning towards that, and you're right. And I don't know
why I thought, you know, I don't even know where

(02:04):
my head was last week, to be quite honest with you,
I just feel like I didn't It wasn't landing on
that ship properly. I think what threw me off was
the fact that I assume they were going on a cruise,
like a super yacht of Richard Branson's. So then when
we got to this huge thing, I was like, I
couldn't wrap my head around it.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yes, that makes sense. You thought we were going on
his private boat, right right, his private yacht? Well yeah,
this and also ps you're questioning if it's a throwback
to the eighties because at the end, like we also
see Stephanie in an eighties get up and they do
do a throwback. So and now we know a lot

(02:46):
of roads are leading to yes, they do consider this
decor throw them back.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
And now I'm okay with it.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, Like, you know, I mentioned that it does speak
to my Long Island roots, and I recognize that that's right.
And then when I watched this episode, I said, you
know a thing, I felt even better about all the
flash me too, because cruises are cheesy, so let's lean

(03:18):
into it, let's embrace it.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I mean, I talk about one eighty, I'm like, I'm
fully on board with the Virgin Cruise. And not only that,
but people spoke so highly of it, and I was like,
I just really judged a book by almost like a
different cover than it was even giving. So I can't
really I don't even know where my head was last week.
My apologies not just to I mean just to myself,

(03:41):
not necessarily to Richard Branson. He doesn't need my sories.
He could say, put my soraries into sack. But honestly,
I think it looks great. It looked really fun, fat yes,
arobicizing you know that had Derinda written all over it.
I don't know why she's not hosting those crazy Gerty's
look with the hair and those earrings under those black lights.

(04:02):
My god, it just that was phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Whatever we went see and it does give me the
like I want to put on French tips and like
when we ran through whatever that glitter hallway away, I'm alive,
you know, I'm alive. I want it.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
I loved it. I loved it, and I that's where
I turned. I was like, oh my gosh, I see
my eyes have the veil has lifted, and I want
to go in on this hard now. Yeah, Gerty's look
was great and then also Larsa's hot pink. But in

(04:41):
those spandex with that leotard, the way that it was
it shone in that neon light was unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I don't know if you got eyes on that, but
it was it was like the red it was like
the red moon. It was like it shifted like the
the astrological universe, you know, I mean that's what it
felt like.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Right, stars aligned differently after she revealed it.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well you know what they did, because people were making
up after that.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
That's true. It was a beacon of.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Hope, Larsa's beacon, butt can of hope.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Our butt can of hope. Really, you know, changed minds
and hearts and that's a beautiful, beautiful thing. It's like
people don't give enough credit to a perfect ass and
what it can do, you know, be it bought, be
it created God, be it from doctor so and so. Like,

(05:47):
it's still really really powerful.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's powerful, thank you, you know. I like that we
have to touch down on Lars's butt like every third episode.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
I have to.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
It's spectac It's a running theme. It is like the
backdrop of Miami. If you will.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah, well, it's like, you know, as they said in
Death of a Salesman, attention must be paid, you know,
it just must.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Larsa, you were just your butt was just reference to
a classic play, and I hope you respect and appreciate that,
you know. Yeah, you know how you know the movie
Tequila Sunrise or like if you were to take the
like the graphic of that movie with like the sun

(06:40):
setting I'm sorry, the sun rising. There you go, the
sun rising and you replace that with Larsa's like pink
butt in that with the thong leotard. If you just
place that there and you show, you know, the beautiful
sunrise and all the colors in the sky over Miami,
that's what we have.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
We have some graphic artists here if you don't mind,
get to it my bish. Graphic artists are yeah, welcome in,
welcome in.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Now. If you were to choose, and this is going
to be tough for you, Deanna, all right, hud uh
or Larsa. But in terms of but mm hmmm, because
we know what, we know what they're capable of, both
of them, and they are both to be revered. And

(07:34):
I mean by revered, I mean reard. Are weard? Listen?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
It wasn't your most elegant, but it did. It did
get the job done, and you know, we're weird. It's
hard because like what I do feel is we have
really seen hood is by in motion. We know what
sort of the the velocity it can hit and just

(08:11):
like how it can move and and I don't like
Larsa's but seems more at rest, you know what I mean.
There's two different looking at it, two different set of circumstances.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I want you to keep going, babe, I just don't stop.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
It's like it's hard to put them both against each
other because they do very different things. And I'm not
sure that Larsa can't, you know, get it into motion,
but I sort of on a cellular level, no she can't.
I don't think that that's what it does. I think
it just sort of stays there. And even though even

(08:58):
though hood is is like so spectacular in what it
can do, I gotta give it to Larsa.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Okay, wow, that that is something else. I'm really proud
of your analysis, your butt but analysis. I'm gonna keep
going with this. But I think, like, you know, if
you know, Larsa's but sat so that hoodahs but could

(09:28):
wiggle could run? Oh could could you know? Like yeah, yeah,
so you know, I mean it's almost like it is
a solar thing where I mean, it's a gravitational pull
if you were. Maybe that's how our lives really are
in motion now because Huddah is the sun and Larsa

(09:54):
is the no no no strike that reversa. Larsa is
the sun and hood uh Is is the earth. Yeah, rotating.
So I think we agnaled it. I think that now
that we settled on that, you know, we can appreciate both.
And I'm happy that we went down that road. Thank you,
Oh God, Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
One last thought is like it's really scary to have
a butt like Lars's out there because it is so
powerful and the viewers are going to look at that
and think to themselves, well, maybe I can tuck a
few coins away or sell my home and also get

(10:35):
that here's the rub. It usually doesn't work. It's not
going to work out. It doesn't sit correctly.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
No, it doesn't. It doesn't sit, it doesn't stand.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
It just doesn't, you know. And it's usually I think,
fairly disastrous, you know, fairly, and trend come and go
and you you know, big butts are in and then
they're gonna be out, but you're still gonna be with it.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
So mm hmmm. And yes, if they take things out
and we know, Kim, sure, but you're not gonna have
you probably won't have the money to do it. Sorry,
you know, I mean.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
You've spent it all right.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
So and there's going to be a lot of people,
especially here in LA that have made that choice that
can't go back.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
They should speak out more, to be honest, like it's
a community that should raise up and be like, don't
do it. And I don't know, maybe there is a
TikTok or an Instagram where something out there right now
where a gentleman gotta bbl and he's laying in like

(11:49):
the back of the seat like this because you can't
for some time quite sometime.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
And someone from the street as he's driving by, I
shouts out to him and he's like, I just got
a BBL And the guy was like, Oh, it's gonna
look great soon. You know. It was like a straight
guy who was just really supportive and sweet and like.
And then there's a follow up after and it looks
pretty decent. But I mean again, it's a rougher road.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
I think it is welcome. Thank you for joining us
on butt Talk. We will be back next week and
we really appreciate you being here. Thank you so much.
Now I really want to mention, like, Okay, so we
we were talking about like being in the eighties and
they've got the shake weights at this aerobics class, which

(12:40):
was hilarious Alexia interconfessional. Everyone was saying like where they
were in the eighties, and Alexia says, I in the eighties,
I was dating a cocaine cowboy and I didn't know
I was dating a cocaine cowboy. Hashtag thank you for
your honesty, and you know that was amazing.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
So, also when they went to the SPA talking about
looks real quick. I loved Kiki's peachy pink bathing suit
with the skirt the cover up. I thought that was
a dress, like an athleisure wear dress. And I was
losing my mind at how beautiful that was. Yeah, I was.
I was like, oh my god, that is such perfection.

(13:19):
She is such perfection. And then she rolled that sucker
off and popped herself into that Chacuzi and on my
mind was blown me too. I was like a drag race.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah, it was a reveal, yeah, wind like reveal and
it was fabulous.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
If that was on Project Runway, you know, because of
its beautiful simplicity and everything that that would have won. Okay,
I just wanted to mention that, but we can go back.
It was thank you, you agree, pool Deck. Uh, Stephanie, Is
it possible to be allergic to not fresh squeeze orange shoes?

(13:58):
Because even if it's not true, I respect that that's
the lie she's telling so she can make sure she's
getting fresh squeezed. I'm okay with it.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yeah, you know what it's giving. Who was the gal
in Beverly Hills a few seasons back who was allergic
to dust? That's why she couldn't go into brick and
mortar stores. She was with us, she came and she went.
She was dating the younger singer guy. She had a baby.
Oh yeah, Diana, Diana, Yeah, her being allergic. I can't

(14:28):
recover from being allergic to dust in brick and mortar stores.
That's why everything needs to come to her house.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I can't believe. I can't believe. I don't remember the
specificity of that. Thank you for bringing that back up.
Wow wow wow wow wow wow. Okay, Adriana, this whole episode,
this whole cruise up until we got to when thank god,

(14:57):
Stephanie invited her to sing it her Toys for Tots
Chris miss upcoming event. Thank god that breathed new life
back into her. But she was revived. What a sad,
sad situation. I mean this, we're looking at someone who
is just fully depressed, you know, whether it's a spell,
because she cannot shake this. She cannot shake weight this off,

(15:20):
you know. I mean like she's shown up with a
with a frown that is not coming back up.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, with the real puss and an energy suck. I
mean that would be very hard for me. Amy. I
feel like the girls were able to sort of manage
around it, but that sort of energy like with love.
You know, I understand you're going through something, but it
affects me greatly, Like I couldn't because ye and I

(15:48):
agree with you because I think that we are people.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
And I mean, I would like to say most people,
I don't know these housewives don't seem to care. But
you are a tune and to what someone else is feeling,
and you're acknowledging them their presence, their vibe, and it's
caused for concern. So if you can't address it and

(16:13):
nothing can shift you, there's no choice in getting out
of it. You're stuck connected to them because you can't
ignore the reality of the situation in a room. I mean,
you know, I know that. Like sometimes when it comes
to like family stuff and you're like, Okay, I'm just
going to show up to this family thing. I don't
want to do it. This so and so is going

(16:34):
to be like this so and so is going to
be like that. I know how it's going to be,
but I have to go. It's for a certain amount
of time and suck it up. I'm going to compartmentalize
and I'm going to leave. That's different. Yeah, this is
like you're all friends You're now meeting up several times
and nothing is changing.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
No, no, And she's it's just a dark cloud emerging
at every spot. You know, it's very it would be.
They do seem to be like, oh, that's happening, but
where we also are here, like I don't know. They
seem to be able to compartmentalize it, which is I

(17:15):
think a good thing. I know that it would just
be extremely It would affect me greatly to be in
that energy, and I probably would. It would be hard.
It was a very serious energy stack, That's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Like, I thought, why are the producers allowing her to
be in this situation? Because to me, it seemed like
a mental health crisis in a way she could not
shake out of it, and that to me seems very concerning.
And I thought, can someone please protect her and get
her out of this situation? Or is it helping her
to be in this situation? Maybe? There were a lot

(17:56):
of conversations about whether she should even come to any
of these things, and she thought it might help me
to be around, but my god, like it didn't, and
it also didn't seem manufactured like she wanted the storyline
to come towards her, which is also very concerning because
that would be one thing. Then it wouldn't be as worried.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Sometimes that does happen with certain days, you know, where
a birthday is a great example where you're moving along
and you don't really think about it, and then the
day hits. You're like, I'm gonna be fine, it's a birthday,
it's another day. Then the day hits and it's like,
you know, so she may have been in it and
then not been able to you know, she doesn't. She

(18:40):
also doesn't really have Julia would be the one to
really have sad her down, and Julia was shirking her
responsibilities quite frankly, you know, she.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Just wanted to put braids in and have a good
time and that's it.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
A mana me, I'm not even said, I'm not you know,
I see your braids.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
I'll let it be.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
I'm not going to address it. I'm not gonna look
at it. I actually never I'm not looking at them
straight on. I wouldn't look at them. I said, I
see them.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Between Adriana and her braids.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
I'm like, we had we had a lot of we have.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
To Yeah, I hit to Bob and weave you know,
he like a driver's head course and what is happening
with these ladies? Thank god Larses.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
But is a beacon Yeah, yeah, a beacon of hope.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
But I also felt like at the end, you know,
to find out that Marisol really was upset at Stephanie
for spending time with Adriana, and that became very clear
throughout this you know episode. Yeah, And I don't know
at what point Adriana found that out. I mean, okay,

(19:50):
well Stephanie told her. Okay, so they told her at
the you know, when they got back from the ship.
But like, I wonder if on the ship she was
thinking she's getting pushed out, She's getting pushed out by Julia,
She's getting pushed out by Marisol, and nobody seems to
care she's on this island, on a ship, and in

(20:10):
general on this show. So by the end of this episode,
with Stephanie being like, I have a message for you, Marisol,
I know you are and you know, if you're gonna
come for me, you better hit a you better not
miss because when it's my turn, I hit a bullseye.
You know. The ceiling from Bethany line and the glee

(20:30):
and delight coming from Adriana at that point, like, oh
my god.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Like she was eyes, she was like googly eyes, straight
up googly eyes.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
She was like that little beret, that little friend.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
She really Yeah, she does, she does.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's like Adriana, that's like her. I'm a singer showing
up to talk about the gig. Look, yes, oh absolutely,
that's gig talk. That's definite gig talk. Look. Wait, let's
take a quick break. 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 be doing

(21:19):
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. You know what.
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,

(21:39):
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
get at birth, packed with immune factors, growth compounds, and
nutrients your body still craves today. Well, Cowboy Colostrum uses

(22:02):
only the highest quality colostrum, whole first day milking, never
stripped or overprocessed, and always ethically harvested after the calf
gets their share. And it's so easy. You just mix
it 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

(22:22):
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 my nutrients and my annibodies this fall. I
need a strong immune system and I know you do too.
I just started and I can't wait to share my

(22:43):
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 cowboycolostrum dot com and use my code drama
at checkout. The link is in my podcast. No. As always,
that's twenty percent off when you use code drama at

(23:04):
cowboycolostrum dot com. After you purchase, they'll ask you where
you heard about them, So please support my show and
tell them that I sent you. But when she realized
she's going to have an ally on this show, it
breathed new life into her. And I can't lie. I
was kind of happy to see her being thrown a
life vest, a life raft whatever. Yeah, she's alone and

(23:29):
just feel bad.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
You know, it's not nice. It's not fun to be
around for Like, that's like Katie, you know, when that
happens on a show, it's just it's it's not what
we want.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
No, it really isn't. And if that's what's happening, I
just like pull them away, you know, pull them out
and just be like, she's not feeling good. I don't know,
I don't know what to say right right, right, But
but you know when they did do that cake for her,
I thought it was really sweet, but it you know,
when you have to struggle to put a smile on

(24:02):
your face, you know that deep down there is truly
something organically going on, and I felt that pain for her.
I really did.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Well, it's interesting, you know, an it's a lesson in positioning,
you know, for yourself, how you approach something, because had
she said, like I am when she's fifty nine, I'm
fifty nine. I live my passions. I am more beautiful

(24:35):
than women half my age, I'm interesting, educated, and it
feels great. You know, I am killing it at fifty nine.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Like she she her positioning of it has me going, oh, yeah,
that's a bad thing. You're fifty nine, do you know
what I mean? Like, you're fifty nine and you don't
have what you're thinking. You don't have.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Plus you you know, she has a boyfriend, which I
completely didn't even remember. She's like, I missed my boyfriend,
you know, but yeah, I'm like, well you have a boyfriend,
like crown upside down? Yeah yeah. And then she is
such a dichotomy and I would love for her to
explain to us because she's got that DSM five and
I want her to look up what's up? Because when

(25:23):
she said to Stephanie, I was so upset on the
ship because I'm a very I'm a creative, I'm a
sensitive person, and when there's a lot of fighting around me,
I get overwhelmed. And that just does not You put
it through the machine and it doesn't come out right

(25:45):
when you harken back to all the chaos that she causes,
throwing name calling, like I don't understand that at all, Like, well, then,
how come you create issues in the past? How come
you stir things up so hard, you go so low?
I don't understand it. But maybe both things can be
true in this case, but I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
I think a little bit was true, But I think
she was maybe embarrassed of how much her birthday affected
her after she left. You know, who knows why she
said that, but.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
It genuinely left me with like a what happened?

Speaker 3 (26:25):
I think she's having a bit of an existential crisis,
an existential cry cry, and.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
We don't see that on housewives typically. You know, maybe
this is maybe that's refreshing, Maybe it's nice to see
somebody go down that road.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
I don't think reflecting taking stock, I don't really take stock.
Taking stock isn't our activity here. No, these programs.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Much like we're not looking We don't watch these to
like look up to people, you know.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
I mean, yeah, it's like we do want well.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
The aspirational money and fashion aspect, and it's nice to
see a Toys for tots here and there.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, you know what I do look up to genuinely,
these ladies get their life, you know. They they have fun,
they're out, they're like going on vacations, they're going into dinner,
they're prioritizing their friendships. I do look up to that,
you know.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah. Yeah, well I love the working ladies, that's for sure.
And I love to that too. That's great. Now, can
we I love that We spent so much time talking
about Lars's but and then Adriana's existential crisis. Can we
just talk about how Frankie is calls out Marisol left
and right like he won't have it with her. He

(27:49):
will not have it. I go.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Frankie is riding Marisol's ax, her writing it.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
He's on her. She best not make mistake.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Oh she didn't even He was over her the second
he opened the door. He had it in for her.
He was over her freaking shit before she opened the door.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
And now he is a he is acting like a
mom of ten kids, and she is every ten of them.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Yeah, she is off ten. She has him on his
last nerves.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Oh my god, does she burn him up? And she
doesn't care. She's like a toddler and she's gonna run
a muck around him. She is on her no food
plate sitting there.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
Just that was demented girl.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
That girl.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
I don't come here. He's about to take my microphone.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
All right, so Auto is all settled in. Now he's
gonna hear about Marisol's vegan cheese. She ate a little
while ago. She's full. She doesn't need to eat. That
pasta looked amazing. That's how it looked. For my god, amazing. Steve,
you're a great cook.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Come on, Steve. I mean, it's a beautiful thing to
make a meal for a couple of pals, you know.
And you know, Steve, Steve seemed very much used to
Frankie riding his wife's ass.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Has no problem with it. In fact, he probably appreciates it,
you know, because I Steve's looking at him like why
is she hitting me? And Frankie's like, what are you
doing hitting him? I just the whole thing was the greatest.
It was Frankie's episode Quite frank Quite Frankie Lee.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
You know, he really had me laughing.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, and Machol didn't care.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
She's That's what I'm saying. We got a window into
like he's been, he's forever had enough with her. Well,
I don't I understand. It's almost like he can't take
his frustrations out on his mom. So Marissol's getting just
the hit. You know, I do feel that. I feel
like Frankie is just he didn't she did not take

(30:16):
one step towards him, and he was fed up.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
You know, he doesn't want to see her drink anymore.
He wants her to stop drinking. He's like a little
bit drunk, drunk, a little bit a little bit drunk,
and and Alexia is like, take it down a notch
and he's like, yes, thank you, because I can't even
form words because she's driving me up a wall. And
the fact that she was like, I haven't drank all day,
and you know, he he knows, he knows the drill bullshit.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Marisol not putting a few bites of pasta on her
plate and a little salad was deranged.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
I don't understand. It's a eating disorder, Like, there's no
way she was obvious. She was drinking her dinner clearly, yes,
like every night, and she's not even trying to hide
it in front of us. That's so crazy about it.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
PS. Alexia was sort of dancing around her past. Now
I'm focused on who's actually eating.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Oh, she seemed to be munched down, no medium, Okay,
I thought she was like.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
She took like an initial bite and then I feel
like she was really playing around.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
What's tough is that, you know, I understand that wanting
to eat during a scene. So if you're talking about something,
I'm probably not going to be putting food in my
mouth because I don't want to be like talking on camera.
So I get that, Yeah, but I think it's beyond that.
For Marisol, she needs to put some stuff on her plate,
and you know, and for Alexia, we did catch her

(31:50):
kind of talking with her mouthful, which I appreciated. Yeah,
and maybe probably because she didn't want to talk about
how Todd is back in her life. She was trying to,
you know, put food in her mouth. But like here
we are, and she's like, you know, back in, back
into it, back into it. And now she's sam left it,
let's be right, right, okay, and Peter apparently has no

(32:12):
problem with it. I doubt that that's weird.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean I think Peter's letting her
do her. I do think that. I think that he's like,
I'm it's not worth it for me to like their
relationship seems to be in such a better place. Who knows,
I don't really could. I don't really know, Peter, you know,
but just weird, just weird to set up a scene

(32:41):
where Steve is going to make dinner and then have
and then be like, I'm not eating you know, I.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Hate Steve's cooking. Well, I mean she she said she
had vegan cheese, So is she like.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Well, what's vegan cheese? By the way, you're just gonna
have vegetarian? Is that why she wasn't eating with peat?
But there looked like there was a there was a meat. Yeah,
but you know this is you know what, this is
a set up dinner that, you know what I mean?
Like she kind of gets sprung upon her like, right,

(33:16):
you know, we had all the time.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
She could have pasta. She could have the pasta and
have a different sauce. She's not eating amy, She's not eating,
she's drinking it.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Let's get real.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
No, we are real, We're real. Okay, let's get into it.
You know who's getting real is Gerty with her therapy,
and you know, this is wild to be going through
this journey with her. I'm not gonna lie. I just
it's so her story and what she's sharing with us
and her life is just unmatched. I mean, like here

(33:46):
she is coming out of cancer and and now she's
going to go do solo therapy, which is great, and
she's going to start peeling back Haiti trauma. And we
kind of heard about this. We did hear that she
was left with a family in America.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
And wow, it's so it's so many immigrant stories. This
isn't unique. It's like people are doing what they can
to make a better life for their families exactly exactly.
And it's not linear. You know, it's not clean. It's

(34:26):
it can be very messy and but there's trauma.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
But you're right, it is. It's not that it's it
is a common story for immigrants. It doesn't erase the
trauma of it, but it is very It's like, I
feel like we've heard this on another Housewives episode two.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Yeah, yeah, you know, it's you can't all most of
the time come together. Yeah, you know. It's funny. You know,
my husband's from he was born in Hong Kong, and
his family was able to kind of come all over
at the same time. But then there was a time

(35:14):
when both of his parents are working, you know, like
and he got tossed over to a person he didn't
know for the summer and it was I went through
it and it was a literal nightmare for him. Nothing
bad happened, per se, just like it sounds like Gerty,

(35:35):
you know, Girdy. Yes, it sounds like they were sort
of you're here, here's a room. Good luck. You know,
when you're a kid, it's just abandoned all the feelings fully,
fully it's a nightmare. And so you know, and and
to all come over together is mostly it's not someone

(35:58):
has to come over, you know, or you have thank god,
you have somewhere to put the kids. Like it's not linear, no,
now new And so it would be so good for
her because I'm sure from her parents' point of view,
they're looking like Keeky's dad looked at the other last week,
going look at you look at what arms around you

(36:20):
right led to you are thriving. You have a huge
bit you'd think you could this would be you, a
businesswoman you know, who has been uberly successful, found yourself
on a hot TV show, married to the love of
your life, beautiful children, Like this is the choice that
we made and the vision we held as the utmost

(36:43):
possibility of.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
What wow yeah wow wow. So there And the flip
side is that doesn't erase the child within that went
through that. And that's the truth of it. And Gertie
saying that she branded herself and you know, basically to
shield herself from any of that pain. It's just it,

(37:06):
it's really sad, I mean, but it is. It is
the American dream. She has lived the American dream. Absolutely
h Well.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
That'll be the bullying and all of that. That is
also a huge part of it. It is and it's
like you are dropped into the unknown and like it's
not easy.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
It's sure, it sure isn't. And you know, God, we
love Gerty And she'll show up at a scarlet party
with lace over her face and devil horns as a headpiece.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
I really like she when she came to the I
don't know if you notice this. But when she came
into the the jazzer size class with her wig on,
Alexi was like, oh my god, like and she went
to give her a hug and Alexei did not hug her.
And I was like, the grace and the strength, gl
I know she doesn't feel her best. I can feel

(38:02):
like she put the top she's putting on it. The
grace she is entering every freaking episode. Yeah, and I
am just like so impressed with her. And I do
not feel anyone has like given her an ata boy you.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Know what I mean, or from beginning, and it probably
won't happen by the end of this because if it
didn't happen already, it's beyond upsetting. She had her own
party for herself. Oh god, Okay, Well, anyway, the good
news is is that the Larsa eclipse her but eclipse

(38:46):
made or whatever, it made peace within the group. We
have Lisa and we have Larsa finally coming together despite
Larsa trying to get it in one more time. I
just felt like you weren't there for me. You hurt

(39:07):
me to the bone. That's how I felt.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Thank you for the flashbacks of mere moments ago. I
felt like within the hour where they sat you down
and was like release it, release it, Like I I
appreciated that.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, and you know, yes, and then who else got
Newel's made up? Oh yeah it was Stephanie and Alexia
in the mudroom. Yes, that was Greaty.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
We are meant to be like they are. You know,
Alexia kind of threw Marisol under the bus as she.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Did, and I I think it's good that she did,
because we really need to know what's the what the
dynamics are there, and I think they both have taken
one for each other many times over since they've been
on this show. Yeah, and I wonder and they haven't
let us I'm sorry, they haven't let out what who

(40:03):
has done what. They've just moved as a team. So
for Alexia, right, yeah, So for Alexia to be broken
down by Stephanie to actually get the truth out of
what was really going on was pretty interesting because no
one's been able to like cut them and I really
feel like, I wonder if Marisol's going to be upset,

(40:23):
they'll probably come back together. It'll be fine, They'll be fine.
But you know, with Alexia saying she really did what
she was trying to convince Marisol to go on the plane.
And it's just wild that she was so mad about
the Adriana dinner. I mean that it was more that
it seemed like than it was the rules of the plane,
right when really, and when Stephanie was like, I can't

(40:46):
believe that that's so immature, and I had a seat
right next to her, I'm like, okay, you know what,
that's why she didn't go on. Yes, I just like
I would be. I wouldn't go on the plane because
of that. That actually is fair, you know. So, but
they're bond with the sisters, and I didn't know Alexi
had a sister. Nope. Wow, that was a bombshell.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
And we didn't even get a picture of the sister.
We only got a picture of Alexi and her mom, right,
because I don't think they would that she wouldn't get
any clearance for that.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Or speaking for you know, for three years. Wow. Wow
wow wow. Okay, Well, uh, that's our that's our recap. Okay,
that is our recap. And we did it. So Deanna
and I have to get off because we have to leave.
We got to take five and then we're gonna come

(41:44):
