Episode Transcript

(00:02):
From the podcast Grant's Rants Hollywood Talk. It's Grant's Rant, Small Talk.
Let the rundown begin. I'm readyto get into this episode with my lovely
co host Ali coh and welcome back. Thank you so much for having me
again. I'm excited to do this. You know, there's so much crap

(00:25):
going on in the world. It'ssuch like depending on the hour. Who
knows this show is such a goodEskate, I'm that's about the podcast.
I'm talking about Girls Trip, ThisGirl's Trip. I'm enjoying it. Yeah.
No, society is crumbling around us, and it's something to hold onto.
It's it's a branch to grasp ontoas the world burns. Yeah,

(00:48):
as our raids are being taken awayday by day. But okay, yeah,
let's get into it. Yeah,days and excused a Season two episode
three. Yes, I'm gonna stickmy hand in my head in the sand
for the next forty or so minutes. It because we all need a break,
and that's what these shows are for. I learned that a lot of
folks who are like doctors and nursesduring the pandemic, just to kind of

(01:10):
like balance out a lot of thereally heavy stuff got really into Housewives.
So the Housewives are medicine for people. Yes, they're palliative, I think,
yeah. They They definitely are somethingto forget about your own problems and
you go into this petty place thatthese women are in and it somehow feels
better. You Just that's how Ifeel about this show. That's how I

(01:33):
feel about the soap operas. Ijust need like a constant like escape,
like just something that's chill. Solet's start off. The show opens as
something very loud, it's echoing throughoutthe house. It's Jill. And then
there's a fire alarm. No,I was gonna say, is it Jill.
Yeah, it starts with a firealarm, which I think is kind

(01:55):
of an indication for how the restof the episode goes, right, Yeah,
yeah, pretty much. Uh.Jill very entertained by this. Of
course, poor Marco again, thisparty manager, I don't know what his
title is, party planner. Hesays, this is a very low key
day, but there are six thingson the itinerary. That's a lot for

(02:16):
vacation. That's a lot that end. Dorinda is such a taskmaster. She
never makes things chill and relaxed.So I al I knew as soon as
I saw the list that they putup on the screen, this is not
going to be a chill day.No. She is so obnoxious in this
entire episode, just to send thetone, and like, Drenda is really

(02:40):
irritating in this episode. I willget into all the moments, but I'm
just saying, if you were annoyedby her, you not alone. No
no, no no. I manytimes wrote in my notes, like why
is she being like this? Juststop it, stop it, Durrenda.
Stop. And then at this pointin the episode, Tamara is like at
the beginning of a new day,let's have fun. It cuts to Vicky.

(03:04):
I'm really congested Vicky once again notmeeting the moment, and I was
thinking Tama is so much cooler.I'm thinking this at the beginning of the
episode, and it comes around lateragain Tamar is so much cooler when Vicky's
not there. I just I kindof do I want Vicky not there?
I don't know. I love Vickystupid reasons. I know. It's yeah,

(03:29):
nobody day. Well, we'll getinto that. I agree. I
like Tamara and I'm waiting for someoneto pop off with her. But yeah,
so far, she's been our bestbehavior. I think we go on
a shopping trip in Great Barrington andeven Vicky thinks it's cute there. That
was like surprising. Yeah, evenshe had something good to say about it.
Yeah, Great Barrington looks gorgeous.I've never been there. I know

(03:52):
people who used to summer there,but I would love to go, and
especially after this. Yeah, Krigeris a crystal store there. I like
those. I like those. Ialways bring this one in here in New
York. Would people visit? Ilove to bring them there. Um,
I though it was cool. VICKIwants a crystal ball. Brandy and Eva
are into it. What do youthink of padres Yoni egg story? Oh

(04:15):
that was the bright spot in thisepisode for me. But I like she
said it worked because she met aman David, went on three days with
him, and then it ended becauseshe found out he was worshiping Satan,
and that just her delivery of thatstory. I love it. If you
notice she laughs all of her likeone liners, which I love does because

(04:38):
she she knows she's funny and sheknows what we're gonna laugh with her.
It's so natural and I just whenevershe comes up and it's an interview talking
and I'm like, Oh, what'sthis one gonna be? I love it?
And I used to feel that wayabout Dorinda, but then Dorinda tried
to like merchandise her everything. Yeah, and now it's just like everything's a

(04:58):
T shirt. So it's too mmuch. And we saw it so many
times because and the question was answered, she did put the not well bitch
to sweatshirts in the welcome kids becauseeveryone was wearing them. I would be
embarrassed. I would be if Iwere to do that, I'd say,
are we're gonna get custom T shirtsfor everyone? Like Vicky? I don't
want to get old Tamar, that'smy opinion, Like I would make them

(05:20):
customed to the guest here where myquote that I want to make money off
of. I don't like that.I don't like it either. But I
have a question with regards to crystals. Are you into crystals? I have
a few actually around Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't really know
much about them, so it wasI'm very new at it. My sisters

(05:43):
really into it. I know theydo charged with the full moon and they're
they're right, you know, they'rethey're they have qualities to them. You
can spend a lot of money onthese things, you know. Yeh yeah,
so that's my thing. I'm like, aren't they rocks? But I
guess so we're diamonds. So Idon't know how I feel about them.
But if they hey anything to makeme feel better, I don't here.
Yeah, No, I'm actually kindof into it. I approve of the

(06:05):
idea. I think, you know, if it helps you, great,
So sure I know anything like that. Yeah. Now Dorinda leaves there to
go to the liquor store, veryappropriate. Where else we find her?
And she's there and what do Ihave? She's um, she's talking with
Tambra. Tambra's not happy that Dorindadefended Brandy the night before. This is

(06:28):
a classic, like producer like,why don't you guys talk about last night?
Can you guys just just how didyou feel about it? Tama?
Were you happy with Dorinda's behavior?Like it just seems like one of those
one ops, like we need totalk about last night? Yeah, And
then Dorinda went on to say,well, Brandy's weak, which yeah,
and that Vicky wants to attack herand Vicky's stronger. Now Vicky to me

(06:55):
is rotten to the Core. Iknow you like her, but she is
just so she's such a bummer,and she's so serious about things that don't
matter, and she cares about thingsthat don't seem to matter. And I
know she again, she's going througha breakup, and I do feel bad
about that. But I need Ineed her to be up up up.
I need her to whoop it up. Yes, I agree, And if

(07:17):
you don't like Vicky, you don'thave to on this show either. By
the way, I love a goodlife. I will not pretend perfect.
No, I don't mind that atall. That's the whole idea for me.
You know, I don't know whatI see in Vicky. I guess
she reminds me of started family members, but it's just I just find something
interesting about a special place in yourheart. Yeah, I think I missed

(07:39):
her on the show because the showThe Seahouse Lives is just in such bad
shape. Right, maybe that's whatit is, but yeah, I don't
know now. Tamber says in herinterview that she thinks it's more Derinda style
to attack people than it is Vicki's. But you know she doesn't say it
to Derynda. It's again, it'slike, it's a cheap shot if you're
not gonna say it, And youknow there a lot of cheap shots in

(08:00):
this episode. Two is Jill Ohyeah, oh, Jill was quiet as
a mouse during activities and then sayinga whole bunch of stuff in her interviews.
Yeah, yeah, that's an oldtrope on that surprised No, what
did you think of this dispensary?Eva was so excited this had to be
the highlight for her. I likedEva's joy. I thought that was really

(08:22):
fun. I couldn't wait for them. I was hoping they would all get
super high. I just thought thatwould be really fun and funny. And
I don't believe that Brandy has neverbought drugs. I just don't believe it.
She says that people just give themto her. Okay. I liked
that there was like I think itwas a shot a close up on Jill's
hands when she was saying like Idon't I don't get into this, I

(08:43):
don't do this, I don't haveany interest in this, and it was
like she was like wringing her handsin the corner like I don't. I
just thought that was like a funnycutaway. I noticed all these little things
they are. They really showed theirgeneration. I'm not going to say age
because they don't listen. Age ain'tnothing but a number. But generationally weed
is still so looked down upon,and they the ones who are like,

(09:05):
I just don't do it. Iyou know, I'm just not into it.
It makes me hungry. You're justshowing her from a different generation.
That's okay, but maybe give ita try, because I think some of
these ladies could use a toke m. Yeah, what one could be?
Vicky back at Bluestone manner. She'snot feeling well. Drinda says, Vicky's
energy is never great. You touchedon that earlier. I mean on this

(09:28):
trip, it's especially and if she'ssick, listen, if she's sick,
I understand that her energy is low. But oh, the flashbacks to her
always being sick and hurt and herscreaming in the ambulance when she hurt her
foot, if that just encapsulates whoshe is. She's always screaming and she

(09:50):
always she always does the absolute most. Why did they not show the shot
of her going down with the towelover her head in I was surprised Iceland,
like, yeah, that was likea classic shot. All yeah,
maybe all like the people, I'mstill playing with this stress while by the

(10:11):
way, for those who are watching, I can't help it. This is
stressful again again. What else ishappening here? Jill has to get involved.
She tells Dorinda to give Vicky abreak, but Darnda doesn't give a
you know what. She's like,all right, I want you all to
be very aggressive. This is veryserious and I want everybody out there doing
this field day event. I don'tcare about any of you. If you're

(10:33):
bleeding from the armpits, you're goingout to do it. And then Vicky
goes and leaves to the urgent care. He doesn't anything other than her own.
And you know what, I justthink I think she should just relax
a little bit. And I thinkyou know what she should do. She
should just if she doesn't feel well, because you know what, then her
energy will be up, and sowe want her energy to be up.
And it's like Darrenda is doesn't wantanyone else to take away her attention,

(10:58):
so she let it. Let itgo, Jill let it go. It
was really too yeah, a littletoo much before we get started with this
whole business of the field day.There were a few moments I noticed they
caught on camera, which I appreciated. There was um Jill and Phader bonding

(11:18):
over their boobs. That was aunique pairing, to say the least.
To say that no pun intended.Yeah, Tamra and Taylor in the pool
that was later in the episode,where like there's like a rock, a
loose rock or a loose piece ofstone and she's like, Oh, she's
got some work to do a roundit all out. Don't worry, they're
ripping it out. Yeah, thatwas an interesting I just like like the

(11:43):
little bits of life. You know. I do feel like I am a
fly on the wall in the show, which I appreciate. So I actually
kind of like those little moments hereand there. But we were talking about
Vicki going to urgent care. Jillstells Vicky sh doesn't look good, like
nine times yeah, and then willis um jay ZTV. We'ven talked about
this yet. It's because I don'tcare for it's so it's so weird.

(12:07):
It's I understand the editors are alwaystrying to have fun and it's very cute.
She really does. She is alabel, you know what. She
really cares. She's like, ohmy god, those sucks away from Jake
who I love them. I'm gonnaget them. Oh did you know I
used to work for this blah blahblah blah blah. She can't stop talking
about labels. I don't yess whichI feel like. I know a lot

(12:31):
of people like that. Is I'mnot something that's also of that generation.
I feel like too. Yeah,all the accomplishments and the connections and all
this, I mean it's very obnoxious, but don't get me wrong. But
yeah, no, I I wonderI wanted to ask, was this show
and you don't know, none ofus know was this show edited on Final
Cut Pro? Because there is thegraphics, the time code they use.

(12:54):
I use Final Cut Pro. ButI'm also not I don't have a show
on Peacock. But maybe that's youknow, that's Peacock. Hey, I
don't know. That's where the baris set for Peacock. Oh throwing stones?
Um. There was something that Idid notice that I wanted to bring
up because the only time that Imade any sense was at four twenty.
So they kept showing time stamps.Did you notice this? Yes, the

(13:16):
top left right yeah, and itjust kind of no. It was like,
um, show us the time yeah, and it almost it was like
all right, like are we are? You're making me kind of want to
get to the next thing. Butthen I realized they put four twenty on
and then that's when Ebo was smokingweed. Um, and I'm not sure

(13:37):
if they were doing it just toget there, but I kept I wrote
down, why do they keep showingus time codes? Yeah? That's odd.
I like though that they did tracklike Jill talking to ourselves again that
I'm into. Yeah, what elsehappened over here? Um? We hear
about Jill and Alie sweatsuit, thatJill's Aaron rug, the egpit sucks,

(14:01):
and then Dorinda is on one withthis field day situation Housewives named relay games.
Would you be bothered with this?Yes? And let me tell you
why. It's similar to a soundbath. I don't like to watch it.
I didn't like field Day in school. I didn't like participating. I
don't like watching it. I didn'tlike wild and Crazy Kids, which I

(14:22):
don't know if you know what thatis. So it was Sean Nickelodeon.
It's basically it was a field Dayshow like I don't want to watch those
activities. It's not for me.And the only time I was having a
good time was when Brandy, whowas high as heck, was like having
such a hard time getting through itand still doing better for some reason than

(14:43):
Tamara. What did you think?Did you like it? Not? Really?
It was really like I've watched likeBig Brother occasionally when I have patience.
It's such a stale show. Butat least with that show, I
can I feel like I can track, like the competitions, the game,
like how the players are doing.With this, it's just to so many

(15:05):
things. I don't know who wasfirst last, who was waiting to find
an apple, who was a jillfell into a box at one point and
couldn't get out. I mean likeI don't really know what was going on.
I didn't get much out of itnow, And it's just Also I
didn't enjoy Dorinda's leadership, Like Ididn't know it was so obnoxious and I

(15:28):
don't know she just I wouldn't enjoybeing on vacation with her if she's in
charge. The one that I appreciatedwas it we weren't watching people eat again,
you know what I mean, Likeit's a lot of that. It's
a lot of like now they're drinking, now they're eating, they're having dessert
like another meal. At least thiswas something like visually different. Yes,
that's true. And it's fun whenthey go to restaurants because you get to

(15:50):
eat her what they order and sometimesyou see the other patrons and they're,
you know, interacting in a differentway. But here we're just being so
food. We don't even know whatthey're eating. Yeah, I need the
entire experience, you know, Yes, I agree. Let's talk about this
with um Brandy. She says thatTama is much better without Vicky, much

(16:12):
more fun, kinder outgoing. Youknow, you seem to agree with this
earlier. I do. I dotend to agree with that. Yeah,
Tamra said she's heard this before.I think they've talked about this on the
show. I'm sure. Yeah.Vicky returns with a sinus infection, and
you know, Tama runs to tellVicky Brandy said that I'm more fun without

(16:33):
you. Of course you run rightaway if she thinks that, you know,
it's like she was so appalled byit, but also kind of let
it go very quickly because she's like, yeah, I mean, I mean
I think she might agree with it. Yeah, Oh, I do want
to. I do want to givecredit where credit is due. Medic Monica
is an angel, the medic whotook care of Vicky. Uh, she

(16:56):
really yes, Hares and I likehere she had patience for all of it.
I wouldn't. I'm not that kind. That's just not me. I
couldn't do that kind of work.She even offered to get Vicky a personality.
Isn't that nice? Very so?Eva and Brandy. At this point
in the episode, Eva's husband callson FaceTime. Phaedra enters. We established

(17:18):
the cookout crew, Padre, Brandyand Eva. Things are good. I
want I want to be part ofthe cookout crew. I want to be
part of those cool kids. Andagain, every time Padre explains something,
she's got a big smile on herface. She loves it, and I'm
all like, I want to hearmore and more about what she's yes,
and then this Jenner starts. Jillhas to come down, name drop.

(17:41):
She's doing Jay Crew pajamas. Verygood, Jill are good. Brandy tells
Vicky that she's very reactionary. Thisis in the kitchen. Vicky tells Brandy
that she's not allowed to tell hershe shut the f up anymore. But
Brandy can't promise this, but shesaid she will try her best, and
everyone like erupts into applause because Brandyaccepted that she's gonna try with Vicky.

(18:07):
I will say with Vicky, Irespected her for saying her you cannot speak
to me like that. I thinkI have said those sorts of things when
I feel disrespected, And I thinkshe said it in a very calm way.
She needs to understand this t goingto happen. But I'm glad that
she spoke out for herself. Yeah. I think it's like at least she

(18:32):
can say, hey, I saidit. I don't know. I don't
know Vicky expects to get out ofthis. But there was a lasagna competition
throughout this episode. I can't sayI was very interested in this Brandy and
Duranda. I don't know. It'slike, on one hand, it's like,
okay, it's a very housewives thing, like housewives proper, like you
know, if you think of likewhat a housewife is known for. I

(18:55):
guess so, like okay, likewho knew Brandy could cook? I didn't
know she could boil water, sookay, she felt confident enough to do
it. Good for her. ButDorenda, that was so obnoxious with this
whole thing. And Brandy is veryinsecure about her. As they sit down
at the table, Dorenda is literallypatting herself on the back on she she

(19:17):
did it on camera. Yeah,she's I did very well, that's Ladrenda
Medley. Yeah, okay, okay. You know it was fun though,
when when Brandy was cooking hers andMarco. Marco really pulled his weight this
episode. He did it in fieldDay where he was trying to explain everything.
Dorenda was pissed. She he wasstealing her spotlight and then in the

(19:40):
kitchen he's like, no, Ipromise she Dorenda actually cooked herself, even
though she has two chefs and Lenand we didn't steal your stuff. There
was plenty, And Brandy's like,you stole my ingredients. Yeah, I
don't know if they did that,but I don't know, but there was
a lot put in this lasagna onbrandy side. Did you know that if

(20:02):
there's going to be a mystery ingredient, the White Lady is going to put
it in. I know it now, and I don't disagree. I don't
disagree with it because there she's right, and I love her and everything she
has said thus far has been funny. I love this moment because she just
you could tell she was waiting forand everybody knows at a classic Phador moment.

(20:25):
It was just it chucked that boxfor me where I was like,
okay, we got it. Yeah, Brandy cooking the meat made me nervous.
Well yeah, when it wasn't onthe floor, right, when wasn't
Yeah, And then you're into puttingher hands in it, fingers in it
that I couldn't, and like lickingher fingers and then touching the food.

(20:48):
I think I might have said something. I might have been like, you
know, we're still in a pandemic. Yeah, I'd be like, I'm
going to get the corner on thepolar opposite side of where your finger is,
Like will I don't want that piece? Yeah exactly, I don't need
that piece. That's that's not great. Someone is supposed to be such a
great host who makes it nice?Don't make it? Yeah? So and

(21:08):
then she Drenda said about her ownlasagna, it was like a Da Vinci
And then Brandy's was a Bosku yacht, which is like, first of all,
a very weird thing to say,elitist, and she said it was
soupy. She should have said itwas a war haul. She missed an

(21:29):
opportunity. Yeah, she Abosk yacht. That's like how dared and messy.
That's a style, ma'am, that'snot how dare you? Yeah, she
got unlike Jill, she got touchyboth of her interviews, and then at
the table she needled Brandy about thewhole thing she really wore. Brandy,
Dad, shit, Drenna is waytoo competitive for this stuff. Healing on

(21:53):
and on. It was the tabascosauce in there, where's the cool whip?
You put lemon juice in that salarysugar? Oh? She went on
on. Jill wanted to wanted tobe involved in it too. She wanted
to, but she credited them both. But then she at the end she
and, look, did I thinkputting lemon juice in as an acid when

(22:15):
you literally have tomatoes is a goodidea? I don't. I don't think
so. But I'm also I'm nota good cook. But I'm not going
to do it. I'm not goingto make fun of someone who's feeding me
this. To me, it waslike the peak of Duranda's just obnoxious attitude,
you know. She it reminded meof like when she went up to
Luanne and was like, at leastI didn't at least I didn't go to

(22:38):
jail for it, you know whatI mean. Was like one of those
types. She wasn't quite on thatlevel of like ten out of eleven,
but like she was quickly getting there. And it was just like even Brandy
was like, okay, I thinkDuringda's is better than mine, Like it's
more taste. Like she wore Brandydown by just being an obnoxious bitch.
I mean it was. It wasbitchy of her. There's a real cruelty

(23:00):
to Durrenda sometimes and she acts likeshe again is the lady of the man
or. She acts like she is, you know, super conscientious, but
she can be very very cruel.I don't care for it. Yeah,
we watched her be very cruel oppositeTinsley. I mean, anything gout.
She was in that girl's face andTinsley did nothing. Tinsley didn't do anything

(23:25):
to her. It was she justdidn't. She decided she didn't like her.
When Duranda makes a decision like thisis how things are going to go.
If they don't go her way,she spirals. And that's a dangerous
personality trait. I think because you'reit means you're controlling essentially, And I
think she she this is where wewere talking about homecourt advantage last time.

(23:47):
This is where she has homecourt advantagebecause now she can say I'm in charge,
this is my home, and that'swhere things can get a little a
little messy. Well yeah, Imean we see it here with this penis
game that Brandy wants to play,even though Drenda's very into it, only
if she wants Yeah, a fewminutes later she hated it, despite cut

(24:07):
to her enjoying it. Then theyplay this confessions game. This is reminded
me of what we were talking aboutlast time. Here we go the questions
at the dinner table, what areyour insecurities? I was like, what
are these questions and these confessions goingto be? That was just such a
bad idea, The Confessions game,it just sucked it just you know there.
I feel like there are a lotof fun card games to play to

(24:30):
like get to know you, likeyou know, how well do you know
each other? But this is likewhat disappoints you about your father? What
is that question? I can't evenlike think of that, Like what would
having a fun PJ party? Yeah, that is such a stupid question on

(24:51):
top of it, But Brandy triesto come up for Jill, telling her
our national television, but Drenda can'thelp but needle her back and saying we've
all done this so far. Weall know how it is to know it,
all of the group. But evenJoe recognized that Brandy was looking out
for her right out. I giveher crowded that's that's you know, that's
something to be admired versus like Duranda, who wants everyone just to look fall

(25:14):
on their face at the name thenamesake of the game, right. And
then Pedra saves it a little bitby saying that if she had more support,
she could have been a professional cheerleader, which I believed it. She
couldn't do anything she wants. We'veestablished this, she has so many job
titles. I think, not theanswer I expected. I don't think anyone

(25:37):
I never saw that coming. ButI also don't know her history, and
she might have been a very goodcheerleader. Had she had more support,
but she became a lawyer and amortician. Yeah, and several other things.
She by creator the video. Yeah, what else happens here? Duranda
storms out at this point and theycut to Vicky, and Vicky's mouth is

(25:57):
look wide open. She shocked thatDranda, just like Dranda leaves the room,
she did this like I think thenight before, leaves the room,
pours herself a drink, comes backlike It's like, she's like, what
is That's a weird treat. That'sodd behavior. There's a lot of drinking.
Well, yeah, you sound alittle surprised, but this is Randa.

(26:22):
She it almost up. Yeah,it almost seems like she has It's
like, um, what am Itrying to say? A security blanket?
Is her Martini? And I that'snot great. I mean, look,
do I like a drink occasionally tosettle my stress? Sure? But you

(26:44):
know that just seems it seems insanealmost to leave a room, get a
drink, come back like nothing happened. Yeah. She then goes in when
Brandy says, you know, Iyou know that question in jail that could
have been maybe like a setup.So I was just looking out for you,
and Durnda then fires back and she'slike, maybe for you, because

(27:04):
I don't live my life like that, as if to say, like that's
something you would do, brand youwould set Jill up. And it was
like, oh, she really waspushing people around in this moment. She
being very nean. She I rodehere DURINGDA just straight up lust control of
the game and got mad at Brandydespite them being close and all the good

(27:25):
stuff. She set up Brandy defendingher the night before. This was Duringda's
moment to show out, and itwasn't a good look for her. Her
loyalty lies with no one at theend of the day. Yeah, yeah,
she knows she's filming a show andthat she would That's what it's all
about, hyper aware of filming ashow, and it comes across we can

(27:47):
really tell and we don't want thatwe the fourth wall. We understand that
it's allowed to be broken now,like we've gotten to that point, but
we also want to be just ensconcedin this world. We don't want to
be like we're on a reality show. You guys, like, yeah,
got up, Bravo, Bravo,ethan Bravo, right, right, this

(28:07):
game confessions. I don't know whatis this Parker Brothers, Hey, where
did this come? What is thisHambro game? Yeah? I don't get
this game. Is this some typeof like does Angie Cohen have a friend
somewhere? That was like, pleaseplease get this game on my show.
I don't on the show because thequestions are ridiculous. Eva's card is what
about your partner? Now about whatabout you? Does your partner not understand?

(28:34):
And this led Yeah, this ledto Brandy screaming period. Actually,
this is where we started and thenonly went down there from there. We
went down from there basically calling whatEva's husband a mangina so classy. Eva
is pissed, but she didn't loseher cool. She yep, she just

(29:00):
is like that's a Brandy's done amillion times on this trip. I'm not
going to take debate. And sheknew to remove herself from the situation because
she democratic she knows that, aswe said last time, Brandy is a
fool. She's a fool. Shejust she says these stupid things that I
think she I wonder if it's forthe show where she's like set it up

(29:22):
in her head beforehand to be like, I'm gonna call him a managina,
which no one knows what that means. And also I founded as a feminist
insulting that. She was like,he's like doesn't have a penis, he
as a vaginant. It's like,okay, and man, Like what that's
a good point too, is she'ssaying this stuff a shock value she's saying
is she's drunk. I don't thinkshe's that calculated where she's baking these things

(29:47):
for me personally. I think she'sjust pulling this stuff out of her butt
for you know, they come toit, the shock value to it.
That's what she's known for. Idon't know if it's like premeditated, but
I think it comes to her andshe's like I'm to go with that.
Okay, no, I and Iagree with that. I do now that
I think about it. Yeah,she's not a premeditated she can't. I

(30:07):
gave us a lot of thought,and I was like, what, like,
is what was she trying to sayhere? And this is such an
old world's way of putting it.But I think what she meant was like
she thought Eva ran things at home, like Eva was the one that wore
the pants that's what I got inthe relationship, and it was she clearly
did not communicate that correctly, andshe had nobody there to back her up

(30:29):
to try to like explain what thatmeant. But also that like if you
look up Manginat, that doesn't meanwho wears the pants. I mean,
no one's familiar with this, soyou know, she gets what she gets.
But she really cleared the room onthat one. Everybody, everybody scattered.
It's also just again generationally like veryold thinking in terms of gender norms,
and also like if that wears thepants, it's like doesn't mean anything

(30:52):
anymore. She just is making herselfsound stupid. Yeah, she really made
herself so out and you'retten stupid,and I'm sure we'll get some wish she
apology, like, no, I'msaying Like what I'm saying is I'm actually
meaning like you're you're like you're likeyou know, your husband's like a really
involved dad. That's a good thing. Like it'll be some weird like all
right, Brandy, Okay. Sheshe's so good at apologizing. Even she

(31:15):
had that moment with Vicky where she'slike, I just think you're a legend
and an icon it's like you do. I we didn't get that originally,
but she doesn't. She doesn't wantanyone to be mad at her. And
I understand that, but stop sayingdumb things. And yeah, well,
after the dust settles, done that, Vicky almost dies upstairs and that's the
end of the episode. It endswith a Heimlich. It starts with a

(31:37):
fire alarm and ends with the Heimlich. You know, I have tremendous trouble
taking pills. I cannot step.It's very frightening. I get it,
especially I live alone. It's veryfrightening. Oh I thought about that,
yeah a lot. But I mean, like I love that Vicky is still
such a problem, like literally,like she's like near death at the end

(31:59):
of the episode. I thing isshe was able to say the words time,
like like the International sign of chokingwill do. That's the reason that
you have that is so that youdon't have to say anything because you can't
because you can't breathe. So howmuch was she choking versus how much did
she just get startled? You knowhow like a baby falls and they start
crying, even though they didn't hurtthemselves, they just got scared. I

(32:20):
think that's what happened there? Andthat's okay too, I I you know
me too. Let's get into ourfinal thoughts. Final thoughts, okay,
anything good? Not really? UnfortunatelyI could I wrote it was a bummer
of an episode. Uh Drinda's anabsolute jerk. What is Brandy doing?

(32:40):
She's a fool? And where wasTaylor? Like she was there but she
wasn't present? See I laughed inthis episode. Yeah, I did.
I not for the whole thing,like again, like the relay race thing.
I could have lived thout that.I don't know. I like I

(33:00):
get a lot of the little moments. I get a lot out of that,
more than like the big sit downslike I'm too much lasagna talk.
I didn't need all that. Wedidn't need like four segments on that.
And I think competitions in general,for me, unless the show is about
competition, I don't care for it. It's not you know, we're What

(33:21):
we're here for is the screaming andthe pettiness. I don't need to see
someone like shoot a bow an arrowon my show. Well, one thing
I noticed on this episode was thatBrandy carried around a blue plastic wineglass the
entire time, and we occasionally usedto heart fill it up. Remember she
said, I don't have a drinkingproblem. I have a drinking solution like

(33:42):
that. But you carried this aroundlike a child with like a teddy bear.
I mean, this was like inher hands the entire time. How
much alcohol is being consumed in thishouse? A lot, a lot,
a lot production budget on alcohol,Like where do you where do you even
begin? Like? Yeah, forsure. Oh there was something I also,

(34:05):
something I really did like and Iit was Phedra, of course.
And she said the only competition shehad in the relay race was Taylor's cameltoe.
That was great love her. Okay, what did you think? So
you liked it? I did?I? I just I again, I
need an escape. These shows arelong, That's that's kind of why takeaway.

(34:29):
But I do feel like I whenthey end, I feel like I
spent a day with these women.I'm like, Okay, we show them
get up, we do six thingsout an itinerary, you know, And
I like that for me, theydidn't have a blow up and even even
pointed that out until the like lastscene at the end of the night,
And I was like, isn't thatgreat? Like show that to Bravo this.

(34:50):
These shows can be entertaining, andthey don't need to be at each
other's throat trying to destroy each other'sfamilies, trying to wreck each other,
you know, if we don't needto have people throwing glasses at each other.
I enjoyed it for what it was. I thought it was a good
one. Yeah, there were momentswhere I had fun. Maybe it's says

(35:12):
something about me that I do needthese blow ups. I don't know.
Maybe you want more drama. Ineed more of that, But I also
just need more of like the they'reliving there really crazy lives. I want
to see more blue Stone Manner.I want to let's have Why isn't that
part of it? Like going throughthe entire house and just looking at every
room. I would love like aarchitectural Digest style interview. That's what I

(35:36):
want from blue Stone Manner. Really, But yeah, I think that'd be
fun. But I'm gonna obviously keepwatching, and I have hope for me
for the coming episodes. Well that'sgood because I want to keep doing this
podcast and we will and we willand I'm gonna keep having some hot takes.
Sounds good. I like it.I like that this episode, I

(35:59):
feel like you we got to kindof debate a little bit, which I
love. That's the whole point.I'm how boring would it be if we
felt the same. Ye No,not on the show. All right,
guys, that'll do it for thisrundown of the Real Housewives. Ultimate Girls
Trip will be back with more episodesand more rundowns right here on the podcast.
