A fun way to spend an afternoon, but we think it's just a tad bit easier our way. Homes.com.

We've done your homework. You're crazy. What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the Vile Files Reality Recap Edition. I'm your host, Nick, and we are back in Vancouver. Natalie is asleep. Sorry, we had a crazy night last night. We're drama. What happened last night? We're drama. Drama follows us. Yeah, we're drama. We want to be so simple and meek.

Yeah. And it just doesn't allow for us. Yeah. We just want to be easy to be around, easy to work with, you know, which I feel like we are. I don't know. Some people would disagree. Yeah. Well, we finished our, we finished our, our work day yesterday, a busy day. We finished a little late.

So we were going from Whistler to Vancouver. We had my mom. We had River, Nick and I. It's like a two-hour drive, hour and 45-minute drive. We have to set the stage a little bit. We were planning on coming and making the commute earlier, but a last-minute work dinner...

got scheduled and it was important for us to be there. And so we made the executive decision to delay our commute, which by the way, it just reminds me, I think I've told you this story before, but like- The butterfly effect. No, not that one. Okay. But-

I just like, you know, and when we tell the story, changing a story, not that one. You know, I'm on no sleep. Anyways, I'm just I'm glad I get to do life with you. And I'm glad that we we work together. We do everything together. I mean, that's that sounds you know,

Listen, when I remember being a young, young man, I was in my early twenties and my one of my uncles is a very successful businessman. Right. And he was kind of like my, you know, professional role model. And my first girlfriend, you know, drama, drama, drama. We broke up, got back to the girl, broke up, got back together. And one of our breakups, I was like sulking. And my aunt came up to me and she was like trying to basically like talk shit about her in the nicest possible way and trying to convince me to like move on. And she knew I was like aspired to, you know,

be successful in business and be like my uncle and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And she was just like, listen, you're going to need a partner who like can like be by your side at like

very important dinners. She's like, if you want to be successful in business, you're going to, you know, it's a lot about like networking. It's about like, you're going to go to events and you're going to need a partner to do business with type of thing. And I was like, yeah, you know, but she's great and blah, blah, blah. And she was like trying to like tell me like my current girlfriend was just not it. Anyways, we were at this dinner last night and it was, you know, it was an important dinner and it was just like, it was cool to have Natalie there because like she's such a boss and like just to...

And it really is true. Like, you know, you don't know sometimes who you end up with or who you marry and like you don't know how they're going to handle themselves and in certain environments with certain people and to be able to like have you, you know, just like kick ass in that type of environment is something I really appreciate. I feel like it's probably because I'm just like, well, no, I'm just like an old soul. You know, I'm just like mature for my age. No,

I'm just like so mature for my age. And like, I feel like that's probably why. Anyway, so we got done with the dinner. We were at work and we brought my mom and River to work because we're like, we're just going to jet straight from work to Vancouver because it's hour and a half drive. We have like this Airbnb we got to check into. We want to like maybe run to the grocery store to get a couple things. You know, we have to be here at the studio recording this episode kind of early because

So we were like, that's our plan. And then they were like, hey, do you want to come to dinner? We're like, we really should do that. So we go back to our hotel, order room service for my mom and River. My mom puts River to bed. We go to dinner. We're there for like two and a half hours.

It's fun. It's charming. Natalie's making everyone laugh. I'm talking to people. Nick's being relatable. I'm being business-like, you know, we're talking strategy. And now it's like 9.40, it's like 9.30 and we're like, oh, we gotta go. So we go back to the hotel. Nick-

It picks up River. She's dead asleep. He's carrying her through the hotel, down the elevator. Me and my mom get the rest of the bags. We get down to the car. We put River in the car seat. We pull out of the garage. We were trying to figure out the maps. And Nick's like, oh, my God.

We have no gas. Like, where's the gas station? Yeah, we have like. Oh, no. Yeah. And well, if you're if you're familiar with Whistler, it's an out of season ski town. And apparently gas stations close at 10. It was 956.

When you realize that we had no gas. When I realized we had 10 kilometers of gas left. And for all you Americans out there, 10 kilometers is like, I don't know, five miles maybe of gas. Not going to get you very far. Not going to get you very far. That won't get you to Vancouver. I'm immediately going to panic. I got my entire family with me, a full car. And it's like...

you know, where do we get gas? So Nick pulls up the closest Chevron and he's like, oh my God, it closes. And like it closes at 10. So in like three minutes and I'm six minutes away or six minutes away, I'm like, well, the inside closes, not the pumps. Like they don't turn off the pump. So you can still like pump your gas. So we go to that one. Nope. All the lights. No, no, no, no, no. We pull up. The lights are on. We pull into the driveway. Lights turn off. No,

No. Every screen on the pump goes, sorry, pump not available. Sorry, pump not available. And we were like, there wasn't like an attendant there who like could just run the rules for you. There was a woman inside and my mom was like, there's someone inside. So Nick like gets out of the car. He like goes to the doors. He's like waving his hands. She has her purse on. She like goes out the back. Like she's like, I'm like, I'm clocked out. Like I'm not helping you. I'm like, all right. So we get back in the car. I call some people.

I'm like, I don't even know if we have enough gas to make it back to our hotel that we were staying at at Whistler. And I'm like, I guess we're going to have to wake up really early to get to Vancouver. I don't fucking know. I'm kind of freaking out. But my main concern is I can't run out of gas with my entire family in this car in the middle of fucking nowhere. And just to get a mild complaint, Whistler, I get it. I'm new to your town. You guys have been a very charming, very successful city for a long time. So fuck me. But...

Like Whistler, even in its off season, is a very busy tourist city. There's like dirt biking and stuff. You know, it's not the middle of nowhere. You need gas for that. You know, there's traffic, you know, pretty regular traffic, even at 10 o'clock at night. Do like, does no one need gas? It was crazy that they turned off the gas pumps. I've never seen that before. There's no open gas station in 20 miles. Evil.

At least. And there's this one that I look up and I'm like, okay, this one is too

two miles away. So we go to this one and it's like, this is like some construction site. Like, I don't know what the hell this is, but like, this isn't a gas station. Like, lights are off. It's pitch black. I'm like, I'm not getting out of the car here. Did y'all ever feel like you were in a horror movie while... Oh my God, yes. Oh my God, this was horror movie. This was absolutely horror. Slasher was gonna come out of the woods. I'm on the edge of my seat. I'm like prepared for a jump scare. Oh, it gets worse. And so, this is just the beginning of our night. And so then...

We are I'm like, Nick, we just like we're sitting at this like stop sign, like be like, what the fuck do we do? And I'm like, we're just sitting here like we got to let's just go back to the hotel. We'll sleep tonight. We'll get up at four o'clock in the morning, drag the whole family to Vancouver or whatever. So we go back to the hotel as we're about to pull into the hotel.

We get a call from someone who was trying to help us. And they're like, so there's this gas station. And they give us the exact address to the place we were just at that looked like a closed construction zone. And we were like, no, no, no. We were just there. Like, it's not that. She was like, no, this tow person told me that this is where they get gas when people run out of gas on the side of the road. Like, it's a pump. It's a pump your own. Like, it's a

It's like an old school gas pump. Oh my God. So we were like, okay. I'm like, do I have to siphon it out of the pump? Like, what are you? Like, okay. You have the thing in your mouth like a fish tank. He's pulling it from the ground. Literally. But we had already driven back to the hotel. So at this point, no fucking gas. And I'm literally thinking, dude,

Do I do I go to this place that we were just at that didn't look like a gas station on because we're not we're we're not if we go there and it doesn't work out, we're not getting back to the hotel. But I call so I call the tow truck place and they're like, yes, it's it's there. And I'm like, all right, well, I might be calling you.

If it's not, because I'm going to need a tow. So we go there and sure as shit, like there were there were pumps there and it was definitely dark in the dark. Just like, wait, guys, I need a time stamp. What time is it now? It is probably 1045. No, it's like 1020, 1030. Yeah. At night. All you guys want to do is watch Love Island. So, yeah, it's like, you know, and so it's like, all right, well, you know, it's going to be fine. We're going to get in at like 1215.

Fill up the car with gas. All right. I had finally gotten River back asleep.

So she was back asleep. We're like, let's hit the ground running. We get in the car. That's the thing is like every time there's this crisis and every time the car stops, the river breaks up, she starts crying. So when you're feeling panicked and your baby starts crying, the emotional stress that creates is just, it's a lot. So anyways, crisis averted. All right. We got gas. We're heading to Vancouver. We are meant to stay in a Verbo. In a Verbo. That's not a real word.

It's not a real word. For those of you, it's not an Airbnb. It's like an Airbnb. You know, it's like not a hotel. Yeah, you're like renting someone's apartment or something. And after we had been in, obviously, a hotel for two weeks, we were like, we'd really love to like have a kitchen and be able to cook our daughter breakfasts.

breakfast and lunch. And so we ended up not going for a hotel and going for this rental house. I'm already nervous because my team sends me like photographs, a QR code, all like pages of instructions of like, and it's, you know, I'm like, we're going to be getting there at 1230 AM. And I'm already like, this, this is, this is going to, this, this is going to be a problem.

The photos have like arrows of like which street to turn down. It's like, this is gonna, yeah, we're in for a doozy. No. That's never good. When they have to send you pages of instructions, I'm not booking. And anytime there's a QR code, I'm like, I don't trust a QR code. Give me some digits. Give me a password. Yeah. Give me a lockbox with a key. I want an old fashioned lockbox.

I want a key. Well, that's the problem when you become bougie and you have a team and people working for you. Not you guys. I'm not. I'm talking as you know, you guys are lovely. My other team, I guess.

is that you rely on them to get shit done and then you don't pay attention to the things you, like, you know, like, I was just like, oh, where do we go? And they send me all the information. So the first time we're even looking at any of this shit is like 1220 a.m. That's definitely our bad. We were so busy with work and dinner and work.

river and driving that we just like never got a chance to study, study up on the instructions to get into. We didn't do a whole like pre-show plan of how to check into our Vrbo. So whenever I go to log into the Vrbo account to like, OK, we don't even know like the building number, right? Like we have the address, but it doesn't say what unit. We know the garage in which to park, but we don't know like how do we get the

get the keys. So we go to log into the account and it says the email account that it's under is Nick's team. And so it's like, please put in the verification code sent to your email. Oh, no. Oh, the email we don't have. Perfect. So we're like calling everyone on Nick's team at 1230. Everyone has their phone on do not disturb. No.

No one is picking up. We're sitting now. River has woken up. River's woken up and she's like, I'm ready to get the fuck out of my car seat. She thinks it's 6 a.m. She's in a great. She's in a mix. She's ready for the day. As soon as she is disrupted. It's like all hell. All hell. Yeah. And she's going in waves of, hey, it's 6 a.m. I'm in a great mood to.

screaming like she's ever screamed before. Yeah, so we finally get a hold of someone on Nick's team named Amanda. God bless her sweet soul. She, I guess, had woken up to one of our calls. Technically, she's my manager. So obviously my manager would answer because she was definitely the most helpful of the group.

Yeah. Shout out Amanda. So she woke up. She answered our call. She saw our please. And she was like, oh, I have the code. Okay, here's the code. This is what you need. Use this QR code to get into the garage. We find the garage.

We're scanning this QR code and it's not working. Not working. To get into the garage. Those never work. That's the name. It never works, Leah. Thankfully, someone is coming out of the garage. So we are able to get in the garage. I'm like, okay, I don't know. Maybe it was just the outside. Well, to get into the building requires the same QR code.

And that thing did not work. So now it's 1 a.m. And we're standing scanning this QR code 20 minutes over and over and over. And it's just flashing red lights. So he's on the phone with Amanda. He's like, this isn't working. She's like, I'm getting a hold of someone at Verbo. Like, I have to call you back. No, she's not. She's on hold. No one's picking up at Verbo. Everyone is asleep. So finally, I'm like, we've just got to find a hotel. Like at this point, it's 1 a.m. We're

River's getting like, she's done. She's over it. We have an early morning. Like, let's just find a hotel. So Nick finds we were staying at the Fairmont Whistler. So he's like, OK, here's a Fairmont in Vancouver. Let's just go there. So we go there. All the doors are shut. It's all black. They have like signs in front of the doors. We're like, this is a hotel, right? You can't shut the doors. Like, what if we went out for dinner? How do we get back in? So finally, we find like the back parking lot and.

And all the doors are locked and it has a big sign that says at this time only registered guests can enter the hotel. They're like, press a button for the doorman. He comes out. He's like, yeah, I'm sorry. We're sold out. You're crazy. So then I call every hotel in the city of Vancouver and every hotel in

is booked up. Vancouver, you're popping off. Popping off. You are booked and busy. The weather is nice. People are coming to Vancouver. Congratulations to the Tourism Board of Vancouver. Truly. You're crushing it. Truly. You're absolutely crushing it. You guys are in a much better mood than I would be in. I think

we're honestly a little delusional at this point. So I'm in the backseat, River's awake, fully awake at this point. And we, we have my mom. So we're like, we either need like two beds or two rooms or like we need something. And,

And every hotel is like, so sorry. Yeah, booked up, booked up, booked up, booked up. I call one. He's like, we have one room with two beds available. Two double beds. Two double beds. That's it. Or the penthouse suite for $15,000 or something. And we were like, okay.

I was like, let me call around a little bit more. I'll call you right back. I'm like, let's just see if there's anything else. Nothing else. I call him back. And when I call him back, River's now screaming at this point, scream crying. And I'm like, okay.

We're coming. He's like, okay, okay. We'll see you soon. Don't worry. And so we drive to this hotel and thank God we get into our room. All four of you in the same room. All four of us. And I slept with my mom. Nick and River shared a bed. The Wedgewood in Vancouver. Just a really delightful staff. This really very charming, very helpful. They did the best they could. So finally it's 2.30 in the morning and we're in our room and River is like,

The scream that she had going from that one hotel to the Wedgwood. And I'm just, I'm sobbing, holding, like, like laying on her being like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Like, I'm sure you were just like, what the fuck is going on? And it was a cry I've never heard before in my life. And it was awful. I mean, we were all so delusional. We were all just exhausted and like fed up. Nothing was working.

so we finally got in that double bed and fell asleep and now we're here but i you know again like i i was trying i was river was freaking out i'm trying to calm her down and and like our whole like honeymoon debacle we will remember this night you know there there's so many nights even like you know we talk about raising our daughter and all these memorable moments but the truth is

You know, I mean, I don't know. Do you guys remember three weeks ago on a Wednesday what you did? I don't fucking know. You know what I'm saying? Like it's.

We don't remember most days of our life. You know what I'm saying? We are going to remember this night and we're going to remember as a family, like we, we like stepped up, like, you know, when you're driving and crisis is happening and you, all you have is each other, it really makes you appreciate what you have and like doing shit together. I don't, you know, there's, there's definitely that element of it. Like, that's definitely how I get through these crises is like, this is going to be a moment that I cherish someday right now,

I'm losing my fucking mind. Wait, are you going to get into this Verbo or are we done with this Verbo? We're so done with that place. I agree for the record. No, that's crazy. And it was a keypad. There was an option for an access code and they just decided to give us this QR code that didn't work. And then no one wanted to pick up the phone. And it's like, we have a baby. It's one.

And again, are bad for showing up in the middle of the night. But like that's, you know, isn't that the point of, you know, when you travel? I wanted to get a hold of the man who owned that apartment building. That's who I wanted to pick up my phone call at 1 a.m. in the morning. Not some like worker for Verbo. I wanted the man who owned who decided to give us this QR code that didn't work.

Anyways, you guys are stronger than the Marines. Yeah. We have each other. It's a really weird, trippy thing when your child goes, you know, because like River was like also being super cute in moments and you're like freaking out and it like does calm you down for a moment. But you're also mad and you're like laughing at your child in the middle of a crisis. It's it's it's a wild experience. Anyways.

That was our, we're just drama. And no one's fault. I mean, Verbo, I guess. The only person we can really be mad at is Verbo and like that gas station who closed it. No, it's not really there about. I mean, like, you know, it just doesn't really make sense why Whistler shuts down. I mean, we can't be the first people who need it. Like people drive through Whistler. It's like, I will say I got a text from Natalie at 11 p.m. And I was like, oh, what is going on?

Do you get a refund for the rental? Working on it. Working on it. You didn't even use it. Okay. Yeah. Working on it. Working on it.

They right now have a no refund policy. Well, of course. Oh, they'd also have a an access policy. We allow our guests into into their rental policy, but they don't have that. We check into our hotel in this crisis. And like, I'm trying to like, I almost feel like I have to explain to the guy, like why we're in this pickle.

You know, like, am I just a bad dad? You know, did we not plan for this? Like, how did we just show up and be like in a panic, need a hotel room in the middle of the fucking night? So I'm like, we couldn't get into our our our Verbo. He's like, yeah, that's a thing here. We get a lot of those. Right. See, this is why you need a company with a real name. You got to use a word that exists or else it's not going to work.

What is Verbo? So true. Yeah. So anyways, we do have a great episode lined up for y'all. We do. Trey Kennedy is with us. You may follow him online. He's a pretty funny dude. Anyways, he loves reality TV and he's going to break down episode one of Love Island. It's good to be back, Islanders. It really is. There is this summer has begun.

It really takes me back. I talked about this the other day on my TikTok of like nostalgia and that feeling. And honestly, like watching Love Island takes me back to the lake house in that room that we'd stay in with that massive TV that like your parents took from some other room and put in there. And we would, it was like summer and it was hot outside and we would get in bed and watch Love Island and

you'd fall asleep and I'd keep going. Like it took me back and I'm excited to be back. You know, obviously the intros are really fun. I don't know what they spend on all these like licensing for music, but like, I'm so appreciative that Peacock makes that investment because it just makes it fun when you have all these mixes and soundtracks tied to these cast members. Like, obviously it's episode one. So you're like, it's like four, you're 40 minutes in and you're still like getting to know people. But like, boy, once they get going, they get going. It's just like, oh, and

we're making out. Yes. This is great.

We'll get into it more later. We got any headlines? Wait, I'm screaming at this daily dilemma that Justin thinks. What do we got here? Yes. Okay. Can we talk about this? Because Justin and I got into, you know, somebody the other day thought that Justin and I were brother and sister. Oh, I mean, I love that. It's because we act like brother and sister. You're brunettes and have a very intense dynamic. No,

kind of see it we act like they have brown hair yeah y'all looked more like y'all look more like now versus when Justin had like that purple hair or the blonde era or the blonde era Justin you always look good okay so talk about it we were fighting about this

Okay, I have a belief. If your airplane flight is less than five hours, there's only three reasons you're using the bathroom on the plane. And these are the reasons. One, to take a nude. Two, you have an only fans.

Three, you have really bad ideas. Isn't that one B? There's no other reason. You can't just have to pee. You can go pee before the flight. I'm like, what is the reason? I agree. Nicotine addiction. I agree. I don't use the airplane bathroom. I go before. I go after. I can't get in there. It's a tiny room. Well, I will say, if you are a dad to change a diaper, there is that. Natalie wouldn't know. Natalie, again, mother of the year. She does...

so much for River. There are the finer details of motherhood that I should know and I don't, you know? You know, for example, yesterday, before we went to dinner, River was upset. Natalie is calming River down and she's like, can you order room service for dinner for River? And I'm like, what the fuck should I order? I don't know. She's like, figure it the fuck out. And I was like, I don't... He was like, what does she eat? He's like, can I get the steak medium rare? Yeah.

I mean, I know what she eats, but I just know Nellie is very particular. And I just was like, I'm going to order something. And then she's going to be like, what the fuck is this? And it was, she got a grilled cheese. Nick ordered her grilled cheese and fries. And then I was like, what did you get? He's like grilled cheese and fries. And I'm like, fruit, sweet potato fries. Did you get the tomato soup with this? Vegetable. Yeah.

Anyways, as a dad who looks for ways to help out my wife parenting her child. Changing the diaper on the airplane. I'm the airplane diaper changer. And honestly, I don't mind it because every time I do it, I look like a fucking hero to the rest of the people on a plane. It's just like everyone looks up and like, that's a good dad. That's a great father. And I'm like, yeah. He does it for the ego boost. Are you holding her like Simba? Yeah. I changed the diaper. It's really all about me. Nothing. For sure. Yeah.

So there is that. I will. Has anyone pooped on a plane? No. Yes. I threw up on a plane once. Oh, I've thrown up on a plane. But that's because I got sick on a plane. But it was a flight to London. So it was like a long flight. Longer than five hours. So that's not longer than five hours and I threw up. Holding your pee to not use the bathroom is crazy. I'm sorry. Like, it's not that bad to pee. So is holding your shit. It's all shit.

only gonna make you constipated for the ladies I totally understand it I would never I would never I would hold it go before the flight after the flight oh for sure I do feel like I do feel like for men though it might be difficult because of the turbulence to like keep it no that's why it's disgusting that's why if you do use the bathroom you have to do it right when you board because it's like if you go mid-flight there's

But if you have a morning flight and you're like trying to drink some coffee, coffee is like a natural laxative. Like, you know, so you've shit on a plane. No, but like, even like it, it, it makes you pee more too. So like you might pee right before the flight and not realize that you've had two cups of water and a coffee. And you know, once you break the seal, like 20 minutes later, your body's like, I'm sorry, we didn't get it all up, you know? And all I have to say is,

if you're getting up during a flight and it's less than five hours, I'm giving you side eye. I'm like, you're going in there to do something. Listen, I actually like disagree. You're going in there to hit that. I'm not only, I am not only going to the bathroom once I'm going to the bathroom at least twice on a five hour. Am I crazy that I'm like, why would I get up to take a nude in an airplane bathroom? It's already uncomfortable enough to go in there with the amount of space you have. I'm taking clothes off and taking

and taking a photo? People are doing that. I will say, Natalie sent me a handful of airplane nudes, which I appreciate. So you are taking nudes on the airplane? I told you. Yes! That's the only thing you're supposed to do in there. The people who are doing their makeup or their skincare in the bathroom of the airplane deserve to be locked away in prison. You know, this makes sense getting on a team. And I say this with love to both of you. This is not meant to be anything but love. There are multiple.

Leia and Justin because I think Leia has by far and away the least amount of shame on this team so the fact that she's with her makes sense and Justin probably has the most shame I take I'm with Justin on this for sure it's the best time to go it's loud nobody can hear you I'm never going to see any of these people again what's the face you make when the person's standing in line you're like

Sorry. When you open that door. Oh, I'm also, I'm really fast. TMI, but I'm fast. Okay. There's actually, there's an episode of the other two about taking a nude on the plane and then sending it to somebody, realizing it's a live photo and then like,

it causes a bunch of chaos. Oh, I was just talking about live photos the other day and how they're terrifying. Like, you really gotta be careful with your live photos. Wait, speaking of planes, did you see the Delta Airline flight where the girl was singing Moana? Oh my God. To quote Wendy Williams. How would you guys feel if a little kid got up in the middle of like a delay? She was not little. She was like 14. Oh yeah, I saw that. She was grown. Well, she was...

And her mom was standing next to her? She was old enough to know that she shouldn't do that. That's terrible parenting. I'm texting about that kid. I'm just kidding. Roll reversal. Y'all, someone DM'd me and they were like, oh, I didn't ask me anything the other day. And someone asked, are you still getting crucified for your airplane text story? I'm like, was I getting crucified? For anyone who doesn't have a kid.

They hated you. And they're like, are you getting slammed by the internet? I'm like, was I? Every once in a while, Natalie gets some DM being like, I don't know why you get all the hate that you do, but I love you. I don't know why everyone hates you and talks so much shit about you nonstop and does this and does that, but I am here to say, I'm a fan. I'm like, okay. That's so weird to say. I'm like, okay, I'm a fan.

I actually won't sleep tonight. It's mostly my fault because that was definitely like, that was how people complimented me early in my bachelor days. Cause like people wanted to let them know that like, I'm the one fan that you have, you know? I wrote for you, Nick. I'm sorry the world hates you. You should respond to my DM because I am loyal. I will say shout out to-

All the people who came up to us in Whistler and said hi, who listened to the podcast and introduced yourself. It was lovely to meet you all. Thank you for saying hi. It was so funny. This grandma to a little boy who may have been around River's age. We're at the playground in the village of Whistler. And she comes up to me and she was like, I had like said something to her son. He was like playing with River and then her grandson. And then she walks over to me and she was like, I just have to say your wedding photos were

And I was like, oh, thank you. And she's like, sorry, that sounds so weird. And I was like, and she was like, oh, and I, and I loved, she said, and I loved something else that I did recently. And I was like, oh no, I'm the same way. If like people I follow that I see going on trips or doing something, the next time I see them in person, I'm like, oh my God, how was that trip with your grandma? And they're like, what? I'm like, you posted about it. Remember? No, no, no, it's not that weird. I do that to people all the time. Oh,

But anyway, a couple of headlines before we jump into Love Island with our friend Trey. Jojo confirmed she's in a relationship. Yeah. How do we feel about that here? She lied. I want to say this very carefully because I love Jojo. I'm I'm happy. She's happy. She told me about it last week. You know, my response or I was just like, are you happy? She's like very. And then I'm happy. I guess this is.

Chris guy. Jojo has nothing but lovely things to say about him. I don't know anything about him other than what is on the internet. His ex-girlfriend, what

What did she say? I think she just said like, she's really, Jojo's really famous. Which again, might just be, might be just be a bitter ex. An ex-girlfriend saying something. Yeah. Just an ex being an ex. The ex is exing. But you know, like Jojo is like a little sister to me. And, and Jojo is 22, 22 years old. You know? I mean, I don't know. Like, I remember being 22 and, and falling in love and having romantic feelings and having people,

who cared about me like you know i hope chris is everything that jojo thinks he is today because love can be blind and i look forward to meeting him um and i hope um how old is chris not nick being like the dad of jojo like how old is this young man he's 32 i'm you know jojo is 32 okay

That's fine. I mean, JoJo, you know, one of the things I loved when I met JoJo is like, you know, I met her on Special Forces, as you guys know, and, you know, there was a cast full of people, you know, professional football players, NBA players, you know, Bodie Miller, Olympic skier, who was like, you know, JoJo was a leader in that group. She is a very mature, very self-confident. She's a badass, you know? She's also 22, you know? And so, like, in some...

ways of life. Jojo, she would make me feel safe in certain situations. She knows how to handle herself. So I have no doubt about Jojo. But like, again, love, love fucks us all up. And I'm, you know, Chris, I'm just saying, just treat her right. I just be the guy you are presenting you are today. Nick is sitting up front like with a

I'm happy. She's happy. Did you see Kylie Jenner give us the definition of girlhood? No, I did see her give us her CCs. Exactly. That is exactly what this is. Girlhood. This is what it's like to be a girl's girl.

So this content creator, Rachel Leary, posted on TikTok being like, Kylie Jenner, this is for you. We need to know what you asked for for your boobs or if they're natural, like pop off. But if you got them done, like, please give us the details. What did you ask for? What are they? We need to know.

And Kylie did her- Like, what's the recipe? What's the recipe? Which, honestly, working in plastic surgery, there is such a recipe. And, like, there's a lot of ways that you can do a breast augmentation. There's a lot of options. There's a lot of ways. There's a lot of, like, you- And she gave us the details. She responded to this-

to Rachel's TikTok and she wrote 445 CC moderate profile half under the muscle silicone Garth Fisher hope this helps lol which was just like hope this helps lol the hope this helps is like so good get ready world for a lot of no get ready Dr. Garth Fisher because you're about to be real booked and busy

Did you guys see her suitcase? Leave it. So obviously, dating Timothee Chalamet, New York guy, huge Knicks fan. They've been going to all of the semi-final games. And she posted a picture of her suitcase, which was like Knicks-colored lingerie.

Period. Anyway, that really made me I was very supportive. Yeah. All of New York just deemed Kylie Jenner a good luck charm. Yeah. They're like, she's in Indiana. We're going to win. She would never come to Indiana. Like this is unfortunately lost. She also reposted a Kim Cattrall meme of her from Sex and the City of Samantha being like the Knicks lost. I'm not going to have sex tonight.

All right. Coming up in a moment, Trey Kennedy to talk a little Love Island and then following Trey, we'll get into the Valley. I want to talk also just we, you know, we didn't want we're going to talk Summer House Thursday. I know many of you probably watched the episode last night, but I do. There's a lot of speculation about like next season. What's the cast going to look like? You know, who should stay? Who should go? We're going to talk about who we think is

of the current cash should stay, should go. If you were the casting director for Summer House, what would that cast look like for you? If you haven't listened to the Going Deeper episode from yesterday, Dakota is on, and oh boy, is it a doozy. Obviously, one of the most talked about men on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Also, can't really talk about it today, but there is a big announcement coming out tomorrow that I will just say, I'm super happy. Oh yeah.

I'm so proud of you. Very cool to be a part of it. Many of you who are listening now know what I'm talking about. And yeah, it's going to, I will say, we promise you fireworks for the 4th of July weekend. And there's extra fireworks probably for 4th of July weekend. Oh my God. So many extra fireworks. So many fireworks in the sky for 4th of July. But it was an honor to be a part of this project. So is Trey ready to go? Trey is ready to go.

Trey, welcome to the show. Great to have you. Thank you for having me. I'm honored to be here. Let's talk. Look at this setup that you're in. It's very red room. I think they say red is a color of aggression. Thank you.

Are you angry? That's true. Yeah. A little set up. I am. I got some opinions and I'm glad to be here. Thanks for having me. Uh, thanks for having me on. Cause thanks for requiring me to watch love Island. And I'm in. Oh my God. Is this your first time? We, we, we discovered Trey. Yeah.

we discovered trey uh he's uh very very funny on social discovered does a lot of a lot of bits uh for reality tv uh seems to be also a big love is blind fan am i right yes love is blind long time fan of that and then yeah i made the the mormon mormon wives that bit yes man that one was good yeah we are we are deep deep into that show that was

You played a Mormon wife quite well. Thank you. I think that's a compliment. I had my first swig. Yeah. Whatever that is. You put cream in your soda and all sorts of stuff. What did you get? A little bit of diabetes? I did. Texas Tab. I guess that's a popular one. I don't know what's in it. Perfect. But it was...

How have you been feeling since your Texas tab? Pretty good. My heart skips every now and then now. Perfect. I just crash, but it was worth it. I got my, yeah, the Mormon, I did the re-created their intro. So I'm like in a pond in a dress and I live in Kansas. So it was like a buddy of mine's like country place.

I'm using this pond. Then you got shot. Yeah. Before we get into Love Island, since we have you, and since you watch a lot of Mormon Wives, do you have any hot takes, faves? You know, people you'd love to stick around, people you don't understand. Give us some Mormon Wives hot takes, Trey. Listen, I...

Now I feel like they're my friends. They saw the video they commented, so I'm basically part of their group. I'm not that in the group, if you know what I mean. But I am a big fan of...

But really of all of them, you know, I think it's interesting when they, you know, they flip the villains on us because Demi, Demi, that's how you say it like that, which I, you see her real name is Demetria. They should have, they've glossed over that. I caught that. Need to know more of that name. First time I interviewed Demi, I was calling her Demi and then Brett, her husband, graciously explained to me, well, her name is Demetria and he's like, if you sound it out, it's, that's why, that's how we get, I'm like, no, I get it. I'm sorry, you know, so.

Say your name right, bro. Yeah. Get in your face like that. He's a big dude. He is. He's a large man. I saw he was in the NFL. He was. He played in the NFL? Unless I was. He was in the NFL for a couple of seasons. I saw it on TikTok. Is that accurate? Can we do a quick Google search? Someone. Do it by Google. Fact check. Try. But I. I think my favorite. I love. Listen, I'm kind of a Whitney stan. I'm sorry, but. So is Nick. Yeah. She wins me over. He was a. Let me double check this. He was a quarter. Quarterback.

Quarterback or cornerback? Definitely cornerback. The internet says he was a cornerback for the Oakland Raiders. I don't think he has the agility. He was a quarterback. For who? The Oakland Raiders from 2003 to 2005. Hey, I'm just here to educate. What? No, he was a quarterback at BYU. And then after his college career ended, he became a free agent with the Oakland Raiders, who are now the Las Vegas Raiders, from 2003 to 2005. There you go.

That's still pretty impressive. It sounds like he didn't like he had a cup of coffee with the Oakland Raiders, but it's still that's a big deal. Was he playing? Was it was it his mission or was he on the team? That's something we got to look into. But I. Yeah, maybe he checked out the locker room. He showed up at the at the stadium, tried to get him to convert to Mormonism and they signed him instead. Yeah, I too, Trey, am a big Whitney fan. Are you equally as obsessed with her hospital video?

You're familiar with that, correct? Oh.

Oh, Nick, I'm very familiar. And yeah, I've watched that many times. And you got to give a credit to go from that to where she's at now. It's a miracle. Yeah. It's a miracle. As discussed, people, we did have a very long night. I do need that pick-me-up, Justin, if you can go ahead and play that for us. This is a rite of passage for us, Trey. I think we could get into La Violent, no? I don't want to play this shit. I know, honey, but I just don't know if it's in your cards for right now.

Can you think of it and play it in your head? I'll do the heart for you. I could use the motivation. The point to the baby at the end. Boop! That's my boo.

She's like, and if you didn't see him, just so you know. All right. Love Island. So you are you you are new to the island world. Are you not a little bit? I've dipped my toes this first couple of seasons. You know, I really haven't since. And so, hey, if I'm going to come on the show, I better be up. Yeah. Yeah. My wife, Katie, which, by the way, what's Peacock doing? Would it take 45 minutes? I know. Yeah. I was sitting there refreshing Peacock like

I felt crazy. I was on Reddit. I was on Twitter. I was like following everybody else. I was like, somebody let me know when this is up. It's like when there's an earthquake. I was going crazy, but it came out and my wife, Katie, I was like, hey, let's watch this. She's like, okay. And immediately she's like, what are we watching? And then like an hour later, she's like, I was just like, all right, I guess we're in. We're in. Yeah, we're trying to get everyone converted. I mean, last season was...

the first season for us. So like it's, it's, you know, everyone's welcome to jump on whenever, whenever they're ready. It's just, it feels like summer is here when, when in the Islanders show up and you know, I'm going to give Peacock a pass. It's episode one. They're filming in Fiji. They got a quick turnaround. You know, technology is hard. Do you have the bandwidth tray for the 72 episodes a week that they release? Okay. So that was, that alarmed me at the end. They're like,

tomorrow night my goodness how many episodes are they all two hours as well yeah are they no they're not that long they kind of change like sometimes they're 50 minutes other times they're going to be an hour and 10 hour 15 it just kind of depends it depends if they want to show us 25 minutes of glamour shots yeah the slow motion videos take a minute

they hit us with a lot of b-roll man but it was i i because i i watched an early season because we had like a friend of a friend on so i was like oh we gotta watch this that's all like done and she was she's kind of like in and out so you're like that's a bummer if you i'm sure you've known friends on reality show you're like oh and then you realize they're like a little too normal so they just quit early and you're like oh come on with everyone it's fun

I was very intimidated. I mean, that's why we didn't start Love Island, getting into Love Island until last year. Cause I was like, I don't have the bandwidth. I just can't, I can't do it, but I don't know what it was, but there was something about like, as soon as it got done, I was like, I'm ready for tomorrow night. And then you start, you start, if you really get into a tray, you're going to be like, Oh, this, this show is filming right now. Like most other shows, right? It's like,

They filmed this shit a year ago. Are they even still together? What's going on? And you start thinking about like, what are those little guys doing? You know, what are they doing right now? Like, is it avocado toast time? Like you start, you really start thinking about them. Oh, I didn't realize. Are they, how, how quick's the turnaround? Like 24 hours, 48 hours. Really? Oh, that does see that makes it pretty exciting. That's why I didn't realize that. No. And that's, what's crazy is like, you know, um,

Being on reality TV is a bizarre experience, but like you'll, you'll go, usually you're in your bubble, you film that shit, you come out and then you're bizarrely like back to your normal life. No one who knows who the fuck you are. You're like, it just feels like you went on this really crazy summer camp experience and then it airs. And then that's a whole different, another experience. These people, especially last season when they got like world fucking famous, they

They get out and everyone knows who they are. It's actually... It's kind of fucked up how... Like last season, they had a challenge where they read like tweets about people. And so they were like learning what people on the outside were saying about them, which was like a crazy just... Because they have like no idea. It's like, who does anyone... Do people like me? I don't know. It's a crazy concept. But I do have to say that I think...

My favorite so far is probably Chelly. Oh, yeah. Easy. Right? Yeah. I did like her. And Bella, first of all, the spelling of her name is one of a kind.

No, Bella. I was in a bachelor situation where there was going to be a Bella B any second. That's just true. No, it's just Bella. But I noticed no one would kiss her. I guess she made it known. I guess that's within the rules of the game. You'd be like, hey, don't just assault me with a blindfold on. I would prefer to take a minute. I guess that is allowed. I mean,

I mean, her saying that she doesn't kiss on the first date. Nick was like, this is Love Island. Sorry, you have to kiss on the first date. What are you doing? They're behind the camera like, who got her? What's the point of this? In her intro, she's like, I'm mature beyond my years. Or I'm so mature for my age. I was like, all right. What does that mean? You know, like.

I'm an old soul. Oh, that's what she said. I'm an old soul. Yeah. She likes old movies. I'm just shocked at the... Several of them were 22. Well, I don't know. I guess when you get older, you just can't believe that. You're like, oh my gosh. They can't get anyone older to make out. You're not casting 35-year-olds and saying, make out with two people five minutes into the show now. You know, like that's...

That's not happening. I'm requesting medical records. Yeah. I want to know your dental history. When was the last time you got a cleaning? I'm not as carefree as I was at 23. That's literally why I almost never got casted on The Bachelorette because I was 33 at the time and they're like, this guy's gonna be fucking boring. And I was like, try me.

Well, do we have any like men favorites? I feel like Ace is just loved by every woman there. He's a... Ace and Taylor. Taylor. I like Nick. Nope. Who?

I'm a Taylor guy because I'm an Oklahoma boy. So I'm all I'm very interested where he is from exactly. I think it was Oklahoma City, if I'm remembering correctly. Well, he's got to be something. He's got horses. This can't be somewhere outside the city. Do you think any of these ladies are aware of Ace's Instagram following doesn't

Doesn't he have like a couple of mil? He's very influential. Yeah, he's a YouTuber. This is not his first rodeo. I think Shelly knows because even though she saw him out at a club or something, they've DM'd and whatnot. So she knows how many followers he has. Yeah, it was giving. That's true. This guy could help me be famous. Yeah, he has 797,000 followers. No, on TikTok, he has like millions on TikTok.

He's like a TikToker. I'm on his Instagram. I mean, that's a lot for Instagram. So I like him and I like the love triangles that are already starting to form between Shelly, Ace. Who else is part of that? Is Ulysses with Ace right now? Yeah, she's still with him. Yeah, but you know, he's not really with her. That's kind of the genius of this show where they like immediately make it's like, all right, you're a couple, you know, not knowing anything about him.

Literally at all. But like now that you're a couple, it immediately puts you in a position to look shitty, you know, because as soon as you start kind of like looking around and have an interest in another person, you have to like figure out, you know, what do I say to my girlfriend who I forgot her last name or first name? It's like, what is it? You know, is it Tampa? Like, no, no. The names aren't easy. The names are not easy. I couldn't believe the names. They gotta be stage names.

Yeah, the stage names. I'm like, where's the Sarah and the Aaron? We need the number when we thought Kayler was rare. Yeah. Oh my God. I do already miss. Fuck. Aaron. What's going to be our new fuck?

I'm really looking forward to figuring out what that's going to be. I don't know. I do feel like I kind of had the same feeling watching the first one of like, oh, okay, are these people going to give? And then obviously you learn to fall in love with them. I feel like that's probably going to happen as well.

The time goes on. But I have to say, Austin looks nothing like his photo, his little cast photo they put out. When he popped up on my screen, I was a little bit of a jump scare. Like in a good or bad way? In a bad way. Agreed. Agreed. And then his voice only made it worse. Yeah. Also, you live in Florida and you're scared of bugs. Grow up.

That's all I have to say. Oh my god. Yeah, I was not a fan of his. I love Elandria though. That's my girl.

I'm really rooting for Alandria and Taylor, and I've decided if anything happens to them, I'm going to be deeply, deeply upset. Trey, how do you think Ulysses, who else didn't get kissed in that last challenge? Nick? Oh, no, he kissed someone. Bella? Like all the people who they were like, okay, you can kiss whoever you want, and no one will know, and then they didn't get kissed at all. How do you feel like they are feeling? Oh, man.

Well, that's like the media part for me when they stood him up. And even as a dude, I'm like, all right, those two dudes are hot guys. And that one maybe. And they're like, pick one. And I'm like, surely they had to tell him. So we'll go kiss the cowboy. Okay.

Okay. Because he can't just stand here all night. It's mean. And then at the end, it was an Austin. He hardly got kissed, right? Unless I'm wrong. No, I don't. I didn't know you're right. Did Nick get kissed at all? I feel like the ladies don't seem to be into Nick. I know he made out with someone. I'm into Nick.

Also a Florida guy. Just two feet from you just here. No, literally. It's like I feel like I would feel the air, you know, like of my man getting up and moving past me. And then to hear it's got to be dead silent out there. Yeah. Also, like the people's body odor. I'm imagining, you know, these women are going to be like starts with it. Was it you?

You know, blindfolds. You're not fooling anyone like, you know, you're getting kissed by. No, I feel like you would know when it's your they should have put your plugs on them at least. Yeah, they would. They should ask the Mormons. They did it. They did it.

That's the next time they're on. Could you tell? Because, yeah, I feel like you'd be able to. That's why I had that thought, too. I guess they really, you know, we've all had blindfolds on for something as a kid. You kind of peek, you cheat. I guess they just got an honor system. Like, really? Hey, don't look down at the shoes. I don't know.

Those were like industrial goggles. Yeah, they're good ones. And they just bring in the people at the end. The two new bombshells. I guess they sign a contract to make that legal. And that's funny. The bombshells are bombing. They're a couple of hotties. You know, we got a Brit. Sexy voice. Seems like a good looking guy. And then who's the lady from Arizona? Charlie and Sierra. I feel like Arizona is like the West Coast, Florida.

You know, it's just like, it has a reputation for partying a little bit of trash. Is that fair? Unfair? Sorry, Arizona. Accurate. Yeah. It's like, what's the state with the highest STD rate? I feel like it's got to be like Arizona and Florida. You feel like I would know the answer to that? No, no, no.

It's definitely not Oklahoma. No. Mississippi. Yeah, it's Mississippi. What? Has the highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. Sorry, Arizona. In 2022. No, probably two or four. The 10 highest states, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alaska, South Dakota, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina. Alaska? Those people can see? I thought it was like dark 98% of the time. Maybe it's highest rate, so it's percentage of like, you know.

Right. So there are only like 10 people there. So it's like one of them. They all got it. Well, maybe in the Bible belt, they're just like not practicing safe sex. Maybe that's, you know, maybe that's why. Maybe Arizona might be promiscuous, but they're also safe. Well, I am excited for this season of Love Island. I like where we're heading. You know, I like that they start off with the challenges, the messy challenges. I think both these bombshells are here to stay. I agree. Yeah.

I really liked that Charlie kissed Bella on the cheek when he came in and started making out with everybody while they were blindfolded. Like he must have seen their original intros where she only wanted to kiss the men on the cheek because when he kissed her on the cheek, I was like, okay, that's, that's really nice that you like you clock that that's her vibe and you respected it. Yeah.

Respect, Paul King. Trey, you're married, so you're in love. So let's say you meet your wife. You fall in love early in a relationship. What breakfast are you making her to seal the deal? Oh, I'd go. I make a nice homemade pancake. So pancake over medium eggs. Done this many times. A little sweet, a little safe. Yep, yep.

You can have some hot sauce in there and then a nice, I can pull a nice shot of Espress Maker Americano. It's the classic. You don't go box pancakes. You go homemade. You go scratch. I do. Okay, good for you. And I'm a big advocate for that.

Because it's really only like five or six ingredients. It's just a couple more steps. It's actually really easy. It's worth it. I like to throw one extra egg in there. Do you go also baking soda and baking powder? Yep. A little both. He knows what he's done. Cinnamon. I got to have a little cinnamon in there. That's the little. I don't do the cinnamon. That's the little stuff.

So in Jeremiah's intro video, he says that he's three out of four a good guy. How would you guys rate yourselves out of four? Why out of four? Yeah. I don't know. He just said I'm a three out of four. Well, I feel like there's a huge discrepancy then between three and four or two and three. You know, those are small numbers. I didn't make up the scale. I kind of hate the good guy. What is like, you know, like any any self-proclaimed good guy usually isn't like, yeah.

you know agree good guys no i think he says he's i think he says he's three-fourths of a good guy what's the difference it's average right 75 yeah i'd like to think i'm eight out of ten four out of five that means he's not looking for a relationship it's it's giving fuck boy you know all right i'm gonna go nine just to beat trey you think you're nine out of ten nine out of four

So one of them was Hedda has a daughter and she's

she hasn't told Jeremiah about it but she did tell him that she has a two-bedroom apartment and he was like well what do you use the other bedroom for and she was being really sketchy about what she uses the other bedroom for and he was like what do you use the other bedroom for like just tell me honestly we thought it was like something like sexually dark I forgot that she was the one who was the mom and I was like what are you using the other bedroom for and then it cut to her uh interview and she was like I don't want to tell him yet that I have a

daughter. I'm just like, what do you guys think? Like, well, first of all, I mean, I think a lot of people who live alone have two bedrooms. I don't think it's that crazy to be like, what is your other bedroom for? Like, I don't know. Storage. She's crushing life. My shit, my stuff. I don't know. Like a guest room. Yeah. You know that.

That was kind of weird that he was like pressing her on it. It's like, it's not that strange. Yeah. Calm the fuck down. As far as like her not telling people, I think she has every right to keep that to herself. You know, like people are judgmental and they have a lot of different opinions. It's her kids. I think mom's parents have full discretion and how and when they disclose that. Like, I mean, sure. Eventually, like,

minus it being like Love Island. If you're dating someone in the real world, like sure, eventually if you're on like date four or five, like you might want to like tell people you have kids. But I think if you're not comfortable with that, like that's your call, you know? I don't know. I give parents a lot of, especially single moms out there, I give them a lot of runway to disclose that type of stuff. So I'm cool with it. I have no problem with it.

Well, getting into the valley, I have a couple of thoughts. I think this was a performance from Jasmine. The like, you're a Karen and your vibes suck. And this was like, I need to stay on the show. I need to give them a scene. It felt very produced and like not genuine at all. I feel like that's kind of why most people are not enjoying Jasmine on the show because it just feels like everything that comes out of her mouth is

feels performative. It feels like I need a storyline. Well, 100%. But also, like, and they didn't touch on this episode, but of course, they show us the preview for next episode and she's bringing up, like, Dark Danny again and it's like, at some point, like, we've got to move on. Like, this man has apologized several times. Him and Nia have gone to therapy over this. Like,

At some point, you do have to move on. Like, if you call this person your friend, like him and his wife your friends, like, you don't just, like, drag out this thing that he did. I mean, what month are we in? This was in, like, oh.

Last October. This is the ugly side of reality TV, which is why I feel like people don't think Jasmine's a good reality TV character because it feels very performative. It feels like I'm saying this to be on TV. I mean, say what you want about Janet. Say what you want about Jesse. Like...

That's who they are. That like, you know, like them, hate them. Like they're great reality TV characters. Like the fact that Jesse obsessively wants to look like a good guy and he shows up and does what he does is like, that's what makes him a great reality TV character. Like Janet, like, you know,

like her hater. I like that she is on this show. She is a compelling character. Nothing that comes out of Jasmine's mouth feels authentic. It feels performative. And then like, that's the ugly side of reality TV for her to like be bringing this topic up, uh,

Something that didn't even happen on camera and trying to like destroy this man's character for the sake of a storyline is crazy behavior. I was going to say, too, I think like a good reality TV star, their storyline is about themselves. Like they might be involved in other people's storylines, but it's like, I know why I'm following you. A bad reality TV star points fingers and makes mistakes.

their entire storyline about other people because it's like we don't know anything else going on in Jasmine's life, but we know that she hates Danny right now. That's a really good call because it's like I would love to see Jasmine's relationship with her girlfriend. I would love to like see more of that side of her. But it is like I don't know if it's the editor, if it's just Jasmine, but it's like every time we see Jasmine on our screen, it's her like upset about stirring shit or like

Spreading rumors or... I feel like she's just like a Lisa Renna character. Like, you need the person that's making other people's business themselves. And yes, they're crossing the line. That's disrespectful, Lisa Renna. Well, that is what she did on TV. But she's also not a housewife anymore because people got tired of it. Right, exactly. It's like, show us what's going on with you and Harry. We don't care for you to tell us these details that we don't know if you're not going to tell us the full story. Right. I will say to be, I guess, the Jasmine defender in the room. I mean, I didn't watch the first season of The Valley. This is my first season, so I don't know. Like...

I don't know what her role was in season one. It was the Danny storyline. It was the Danny. Okay. I will say like as far because this is the first I'm hearing of it. Like I think her in like the preview, I forget if it was the last episode or the one before when she was just like talking about her position as like a queer woman in a relationship. Like I appreciated that, like hearing that on TV because I don't think that's something that gets talked about on reality TV a lot. And it is like a very specific experience for like a community. Yeah. So I appreciated that as far as like

interest in her and like the drama of the show. I don't know. I just wish that would come up not in a way of like throwing her friend under the bus and seeking a fourth apology for something that he's already apologized for multiple times. And then on camera saying, you know, I thought I was over it, but like, I don't know, maybe I'm not as if she's deciding not to be over it just for storyline. Like, yeah, we would love to hear about your relationship and we would love to

you know, the representation. It's just, she's going about in a way that just feels inauthentic and performative. And it's also kind of like, and that's, I agree with Mary where I'm like, I want to know about you as the person or your relationship and what else you've got going on. But I am like,

It seems like what's the ultimate goal here is like to ruin Danny and Nia's relationship. They just they have four kids under four. Like I'm like, why are we harping on this person to where it's like trying to be like, you're not the person that everybody thinks you are. But I'm like, then then then just don't fuck with him. Right. And I appreciated that she didn't have that conversation with Danny where she expressed like, that's what's so crazy. Yeah.

that they're all still friends with Jax. It's like we're sitting here being like, Danny who's got four little babies and he's trying to have a healthy relationship with his wife. He blacks out. I don't condone that behavior. I think it's icky. However, I'm just like, you guys are friends with Jax. Yeah. And yet we're sitting here being like, Danny is the devil and you guys are friends with Jesse. Read the messages that he sends Brittany. I mean, on the topic of Jasmine, a video that is definitely resurfacing is her choking Nick Viall on the...

I mean, we definitely talked about it. So, you know, we've we've touched on it a couple of times because first of all, I think it was like, oh, that's funny that she was on Nick season and now she's on the Valley like that was the correlation. And then now it's getting a little like you're really pushing this.

Like dark Danny, he touched me without my consent narrative, which may all be true. But then it's just like interesting because you did do the same thing to my husband when you were on his show. Well, there's a clip going around of people being like, this is the same Jasmine from next season. And like a bunch of people have sent it to me. And like Jasmine's in the comments being like, this is iconic.

And it's like, oh, well, since we're just like not getting over shit, like why is this iconic? The truth is like, you know, I know Jasmine didn't appreciate, you know, she got into her backstory. Like I did not appreciate the way the show like sexualized me on that show. So that's not necessarily the fault of the women.

But like there was a great deal of the people on that cast that like leaned into that narrative. And the truth is like the way that like boundaries I had set communicated were like laughed at, ignored. Like if I told you like the specific details of some of the shit that went down that I had to like put up with and go through in ways I was made uncomfortable, like jaws would be on the floor. And I'm not here to like

you know, bring up old shit for other people to deal with it. Like it's, it's a crazy environment, but like Jasmine was blackout drunk from like week four until she went home. And like so much so that after week four in Wisconsin, like she got so drunk and like did some shit that like I asked to like have her sent home and went for whatever reason was told I had to wait a couple of weeks.

In week five, when we got to New Orleans, I was like, hey, what did she have to say to what she did? And I was told she doesn't remember. So I avoided her in New Orleans. Oh, wow. And when we got to the Virgin Islands...

when she like choked me after she got blackout drunk again on the volleyball day. And I was just so fed up with like her behavior. Like the reality is like the stuff that she is accusing Danny of her behavior and the way she made me uncomfortable was infinitely worse. And like,

Have I since like laughed it off or choose to let it go? For sure. Like, again, like I give all those people grace in that environment because like, there's just a lot of, you know, who knows? I don't know why they chose to act the way they did, but like, again, like in this performative behavior, regardless of how I felt about her behavior, you know, or the fact that like, I have decided to get over it. The behavior itself was insanely inappropriate. And for her to like push this narrative on this person who, again, we,

we all know has apologized multiple times and she's accepted his apology multiple times and for her to keep bringing it up while simultaneously joking that what she did to me was iconic feels kind of messed up. There was also a video that I saw of her...

like trying to pull you for like, I guess it was like a cocktail party or something. And you were with someone else. And she was like, can I take you? And you're like, oh, she just like asked for me. And she was like, well, no, I wanted to. And it was like, you could visibly see you being like, I don't want to go with this person. There were several people in that cast who, again, like didn't give a fuck about any boundaries I set or communicated. And Jasmine was one of the biggest offenders.

And like, again, whatever I have moved on, I'm over it. But like to see her go after Danny in this manner while completely dismissing her behavior is fucking wild. It also is just crazy to see her like

I mean, she's been friends with Jason for this long. And, like, for her to act that way towards Jason and towards his wife was just, like, something I would never do to someone I call a friend. Like, that's just, like, not the way I would approach a friend. It's not the way I would behave. It's not the way I would, like, speak to them.

speak to my friend's wife. I mean, that was like on all sides of the board inappropriate. And like, I mean, I felt for Jana and Jason in that moment of just like, who the fuck is this person? Like, it was literally like they were like, oh, this person's our friend. And then they turned a switch and like created this scene. And they were both like, who the fuck?

It was like they were both rattled as hell. Jason literally was like, he kind of almost called it out. He's like, this is fake, you know? And I know what it's like to be on reality TV and you realize someone's doing a scene, you know, in Bachelor World, you feel it a lot where you're like, what the fuck is going? Who, what is, what are you doing? But I think definitely maybe Bachelor World, but you don't really know those people that well. Like Jason's been friends with Jasmine for seven years. Yeah.

She's trying very hard to stay on the show. I mean, it is just crazy. As you were saying before, like all of these people enable Jax Taylor and they're all like, okay with the way that he speaks to Brittany and the stuff that he does. And like, I haven't seen one of these people. I'll be granted. Like he's been in,

therapy this whole time or lack thereof rehab or whatever he's at. But like no one and I hope that we see it soon. No one has stood up to Jax the way that they like, quote unquote, want to stand up to Danny and Mia and be like, your husband's so fucked. You're that's he's he's an alcoholic. He's this. He's that you're my my ex did drugs and alcohol. And he I'm comparing him to, you know, like, I feel like no one

Everyone is like blowing Danny out of proportion while we have like Jax Taylor, who is over and over and over again, shown as he's a bad guy. Danny, who has four kids under four, who is like, again, like his behavior was inappropriate and not OK. But like the way they are going after this guy. Jax had to go to a facility because of an incident that occurred right before cameras were picked up.

Talk about not being able to keep it in the box. He's throwing chairs, putting holes in walls. And then we're all just like, OK, well, I hope you're doing well in rehab. But Danny, father of four, he got drunk one night and got handsy. Again, I'm not excusing the behavior, but I'm just like the parallels that like we treat Jax, who has even admitted this episode of how abusive he is to his wife and that he's just got used to treating her like shit.

We are okay with this person coming back into the group or giving excuses and allowances because he checked himself into a facility for a couple weeks. But we don't have grace for a working father of four trying to like maintain his marriage.

provide for his family got too drunk at least he didn't actually like do something that would be like crazy like i'm just like he did he put his hands on somebody not okay but i'm like the way that we're making this out is as if he like assaulted someone the constant talking behind danny and nia's back it's like i i feel like a lot of people on this cast and jasmine is one of these people do a lot of these like the drama happens behind people's back and not to their faces and it's like

Danny woke up from a nap and was like, oh, everyone's mad at me. Yeah. It's like you brought this up to Danny. He apologized. And then you realized, oh, it's actually like I actually had a problem with something deeper than that. You brought it up again, which I appreciated. Great. Yeah. It's like it was a one time offense that Danny did. And these people have watched Jax Taylor over and over and over again, even the first season, the way he treated her at the lake house and they were all together. No one said anything like they all just allowed him to act that way and to treat her this way.

And so it's like now for them to like, for Jasmine to hold Danny to this fire of like, you put your hands on me and you made me call you daddy or whatever the hell happened is like not okay. He has apologized several times. Him and his wife have gone to therapy to work on it. Seemingly he hasn't like acted that way again. He like the last time we saw him get drunk,

He put himself to bed. So it's like, how is there not growth? How have we not moved on? It is very desperate for a storyline. And I am over it. And I want to be clear. I'm not saying I'm not over what happened on the show. It's just like it's just like annoying to see her act this way and call out this behavior with. Well, it's just hypocritical.

And you have Brittany over here putting posted notes on her freaking security cameras because you've got Jax texting her being like, I can hear everything that you're saying. Yeah. Like she's unsafe. Like this is giving enough. Yeah. And yet we're like, fuck Danny. But I'm like, Jax is okay. We'll pick up his phone call and FaceTime and say, hope you're doing well, buddy. While his wife, his ex-wife is trying to hide her.

from him. We got, we got Jesse spending Michelle's money and, and being more focused on looking rich than like providing for his family. Uh, we have him, uh,

Terrorizing her. Trying to veto doctors in the middle of his wife giving birth. But no, let's focus on Danny getting too drunk. Exactly. It's crazy. But man, Jesse is just not present in this show. Was he in this episode? He was in a little flashback of the cornhole game that they did instead of the beach. Give me more Kristen and Luke. Yeah, the one couple that doesn't make you...

Depressed. Truly. Yeah, Luke's another, also, I feel like a pretty stand-up guy. I mean, like, even Andy Cohen said, like, The Valley is the darkest show on Bravo. Like, I do think it's getting, like, don't get me wrong, love the drama, but, like, someone who used to be called Crazy Kristen, who, like, seems to have done a lot of work, who has been vulnerable. We've seen her mature and grow on TV. Like, give me some aspirational shit once in a while here. I'm just tired of the Jack Taylor check-ins.

where he gives this performative growth. And it's so performative because we see the FaceTime calls and then we see what he's doing to Brittany in the same day. It's like... And we also see what he's doing now in present day. Yeah, post-rehab. But it's also like Jason kind of pissed me off a little bit with his conversation with Jax where he was like, and I get like wanting to support your friend, but then everything we've been saying of like, at a certain point, I think it's okay to cut someone off. And like for him to just be like, I'm so happy for you.

for you. I'm so proud of you. I'm like, you're talking to Jax Taylor. Yeah. Like, be fucking for real for a second. He's gonna do the same shit when he gets out. Yeah, and then immediately you cut to the Britney thing of like, I can hear you. And it's like, okay, well,

Well, that's kind of what Janet was saying when we interviewed her of like, you know, he would have these calls with Jason and be like, oh, I'm doing so great and this accountability here and this accountability here. And then Janet would go hang out with Brittany and she'd come back home and be like, well, Jax was just doing this to Brittany and they would like compare notes. And it's, yeah, it's like, what?

Clearly. It's just so toxic. None of this is real. It's crazy. I do have to say that I did find it adorable that Luke was having a problem opening up the beach chair, but it's like this man is like building. He's like when the car breaks down, he's able to look under the hood, but he gets this little chair and he's like, and Kristen's like, do you want me to Google how to do it? I just thought that was really cute. It's a stroller. He's just, he's a man. I hope we get Luke changing diapers.

Season three. Oh, I can't wait. I was surprised we didn't get any Lala action at the beach. Yeah, I didn't even realize that she was there. Oh, and then and then we have Sheena talking about her hemorrhoids. Oh, yeah. She was trying really hard. Did you see she got obviously some heat from last week's jump in and she gave I don't know. She was like in the comments arguing with people.

Well, the editors definitely did her dirty. She definitely said something and they just cut it out. So she's just standing there. There was one point where she went, and then it cut. Maybe they did cut it out, but it was so good that they cut it out. I doubt it. Like if it was worthy of TV, they would have kept it in. You know, like I don't doubt she said something. I don't doubt she said a lot, but like, you know.

Like, I don't think that no one's no one's there being like, you know, has a bone to pick with with anyone that they're going to take out good riveting content because Lala Slade. And I will say, like having Lala come back last week, I was like, you know what? Put her in this cast. I'm ready for it. Like, do it. I realized I like don't need to know that any of these people in this group do anal. Like, I'm good. You know? Yeah. Yeah.

I could have lived my life not knowing that. I mean, let's normalize it. No, I get it. But like, I don't need to picture Sheena and Brock, like Sheena getting her hemorrhoids and then Janet and Jason like,

doing and then Janet being like Michelle like what about you and anal it's like I'm just good like like we don't need to put that on TV like keep it in your friend group do we have to talk about everything to normalize it listen whatever you want to do people whoever you are it's okay you know what I no judgment zone be you if you're an adult and it's consensual have a party

Pop off. Period. I actually think we should normalize hemorrhoids. Don't need to talk about it. Like, again, we all have bodies. We get it, you know?

Again, it's just like, T-M-F-U-N-K-E-R. Hey, normalize that between you and your doctor. It's between you and your doctor. Yeah. Like... Yeah, we're all humans. We all have funky shit going on. Like, let's not be so insecure. We need to blast it on the internet or on TV that we have to have everyone be like, you know what? Same. I have an itchy asshole too. Like, we don't...

Just assume everyone's butt itches at some point in the day or online. We all see the wiggle. Yeah. You know, like it's, you know, like you have jock itch. Great. Shut the fuck up. You have BV. Awesome. I've also been there once or twice in my life. But like, we all don't all need to know what your vagina smells like. Yeah. I'm sorry. You're gassy today. You know what? Same. But like, shut the fuck up.

Okay. You guys. Well, speaking of funky shit, how often do you wash your hands after you go to the bathroom? Every time. That was crazy. I'm so sorry. This is my favorite show. Wait, we've got to preface it. This is Next Gen. Obviously, they premiered this week the new show on Bravo with all of the kids of famous parents in New York City.

I have to say it kind of felt like it revolved around Brooks Marks. Which is fine. Which is fine. I feel like he definitely was like, you know, the Kyle Cook of Summer House. You know, he's a little bit of like the everyone here is like my friend. I've introduced. I've made this like web of people.

It felt a little, you know, first episode. First episode. First episode. But yes, one of the cast members, Georgia, I guess she seems to throw a lot of parties in New York City, claims she's like never washed her hands. She loves germs. She eats stuff off the ground in New York City. That's disgusting. She said, my body, my choice. I'm obsessed. She said, normalize eating things off the street.

No. I have to say, Ariana's boyfriend being the heir of Zaxby's is like the craziest thing I've ever heard being from the South. I mean, all hail our Lord and Savior, Grace. I'm not familiar with Zaxby's. It's like raisin canes, pretty much. It's like fried chicken, sauce, toast, fries, crinkle fries, you know. And I was raised on Zaxby's. And the fact that he is the heir of it. Also, I did find it very alarming that he's like...

Ariana, like, now it's our problem, you sending your mom money. Like, y'all are dating, bro. Like, this is not y'all's problem. Like, it's her money. Put her ring on it. She already had her parents steal her money. She doesn't need you. Yeah. Like, it's her brand deals. Also, Kim Zolciak stealing her daughter's money. What the fuck? It actually made me kind of sad that she was like, and my mom's doing well and my dad's working and I was like, oh. I didn't realize she would be so transparent about, like,

parents struggles i'm rooting for her parents if nothing else they are giving when it comes to like having no shame talking about their personal lives i could not imagine river getting older starting to do brand deals in her teenage years getting a boyfriend and then going on a tv show and openly having this fucking boyfriend of hers talk shit about us like we're bad parents if that's what happens it's our fault i just i that that's my nightmare

some fucking guy talking shit about us on TV. I love my mother. I'm proud of the relationship I have with my mother. I consider myself to be very close to my mother. Bit of a mama's boy. No shame in that.

Boy, Brooks and Meredith, they are close. They are close. That photo shoot. But the people love it. The people love it, though. The people being me. Give me more. I do love it, too. And a sister. They're like a little tripod. Chloe. Oh, my God. Charlie, I cannot wait until nine years down the line when this show blows up and Charlie gets canceled.

I hate him. Well, this show is the new Vanderpump and Charlie is potentially the Jax. He's like a Chuck Bass in Gossip Girl. Oh my. It's just like you say every inflammatory thing. To be a crypto trader that doesn't make money. I love it. Listen, I think this show has a lot of potential. Love a New York-based reality TV show, especially since Roni is having its struggles, just like whether it's Sex and the City

or next gen, you give me life in New York, like I'm going to give you a shot, you know? But let's put respect on Vanderpump's name here. Let's not just call it already the new Vanderpump. Like, you know, these people have a lot to fucking live up to. Do they have potential? Sure. Are we down to give them a shot? But like, first of all, we already have Southern Hospitality that's, you know, holding their own in that space. They're doing a decent job. Like we need to walk before we run. Let's not crown them.

One episode. I guess they are around the same age. Yeah. You're right. I will say maybe it's not the next Vanderpump, but I do think... I hope it is. I've seen a lot of chatter online of like, what is the Gen Z version of Girls? The show Girls. And I think it is next in NYC. It can be. And maybe it will. And I'm rooting for them. But to be determined. Well.

Well, part of me thinks that Bravo thinks it's the next Vanderpump because they did a cast photo with like a web and they did that for the first season of Vanderpump Rules. So that's where I'm like, I think they know that this has the potential. I also think Bravo Nepo Babies, it's much like sports Nepo Babies. I think they just prove themselves on the court and the court in this case being confessional. And so far, they're...

Their stats looking good to me. All right. Well, I think that will do it. If you haven't checked out the Going Deeper episode with Dakota, it is out now. People are talking about don't be the person, the one person in the world who hasn't listened to it. So much to get into next week. It's going to be crazy. Thanks for listening. Subscribe.
