Speaker 1:

Welcome to High Low Proud. The show with high-row takes on low-brow culture. I'm your one host, Amanda Scriber, and I'm your co-host, River Gilbert. Hey, I remembered my name this week. You did you know it was my birthday recently, and in old age you tend to forget things.

Speaker 2:

You're not old, I mean I am entering my fantabulous 40s, yeah but I mean you're old by Gen Z and ancient by Gen Alpha standards.

Speaker 1:

but it's true, it's funny. I've talked to you about this before, but so many people that I used to work with were like we thought that you were like 28, 30 tops. That's how you come across. Thank you, I just go on the internet a lot.

Speaker 2:

You know what skivity and phantom tax means?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Like the internet has kept me youthful. Shout out to Gen Z Shout out to Gen. Alpha and Gen Alpha. Yeah, skivity, phantom tax. How, how, how I have things. I mean, I see you every day.

Speaker 2:

Literally every single day, every single day.

Speaker 1:

But like you know, I know, but the listeners do not know.

Speaker 2:

I mean, we've been watching a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1:

We have been watching a lot of stuff. It's like we got back from our trip to Niagara. Life got real. We're not going to get into that, because this is a life.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, this is a light.

Speaker 1:

No bummers, no bummers, yeah. We were like hey, you know what we just need to. We need to, like take in some easy content.

Speaker 2:

Easy content.

Speaker 1:

So we will end the episode, but I should. What did we finish?

Speaker 2:

We finished Bandar Palm yeah.

Speaker 1:

We're not going to talk about it right now. We're going to finish the episode because I feel like that's yes.

Speaker 2:

I was listening, re-listening to the previous episode, yes, where we said that the next episode we would have a guest, and we do not currently have a guest. Life got real. Life got real.

Speaker 1:

And here's the thing is that our guest I think we talked about it in a previous episode comedian and tick-tock, or Darcy Michaels and their partner Jer on the podcast to talk about neurodiversity and the internet which is like something that we are both very familiar with.

Speaker 2:

We are both literally doing right now yeah. Literally in real time.

Speaker 1:

And Darcy. I interviewed Darcy previously. Darcy is hilarious, super generous with their time. But also Darcy is like really fucking famous now.

Speaker 2:

I know, not that they weren't before, no, no, no. But like I mean they had like a comedy special for a few like oh God years back.

Speaker 1:

at this point, yes.

Speaker 2:

But like they really during the pandemic, like started gaining traction, but like they got sponsorship deals.

Speaker 1:

They got sponsorships. They're doing tours.

Speaker 2:

I saw that there's shows in New York and sold like 25,000 tickets.

Speaker 1:

Yes. Like they're he's he's popular and I should note this is. This is a little piece of trivia for all of you listening Darcy and Jer actually, when we got married two years ago, they made us a cameo for our wedding, which was super fucking sweet.

Speaker 1:

So basically we we've been trying to get, get this episode to launch so many times and it's just not happened. Not because we have, we don't want to, but because life, life, darcy had mentioned Darcy and Jer. When I last talked to them they were finishing up the tour which you just mentioned. They're in New York and then they're going on vacation Because you know that's important for your mental health Next season. So, yeah, that's literally what I was going to say is season four. You can expect to hear them, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But reason I brought up banner pump in the last episode is you said, once we're caught up you have more tea on Max Max Max, not Lisa's son, but the one I don't care about. Yes, okay, well, we can get there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we'll get there, but thank you for reminding me.

Speaker 2:

No problem, I'll continue to.

Speaker 1:

I also was like I do not remember this man and he I am yeah. But yes, let's talk about some of the other things we've been watching. Speaking of banner pump, we just watched first episode of house of villains first episode of house of villains and if you know I was like freaking out about this show a few, like a few episodes back now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Feels like an eternity, as it always does, but house of villains is finally here. Oops, all villains, oops, all villains. I think what was really wonderful watching it with you this morning was, as we all know, omarosa is one of the villains on the season we all like villain too, and you were like I don't know her?

Speaker 2:

I don't know her.

Speaker 1:

And I was like what do you mean? You don't know who Omarosa is.

Speaker 2:

I mean, Trump's staff has been turned over so many times.

Speaker 1:

Right. But she was on the Apprentice and like I was like, oh, it's, like you know, one of the very first like original seasons of the Apprentice. Then, when I went to go look up YouTube clips of Omarosa's best moment so that River could experience it in real time, it's potato quality. Potato quality and she's on the first season.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, speaking of Omarosa.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I just love the teaser for the next episode, where New York called her what was it? A cum guzzling Republican cunt? Yeah, and I'm like hell.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, new York has also did a cameo for us, for our wedding.

Speaker 2:

For nothing if not consistent yeah.

Speaker 1:

I mean honestly, we still have those in a drive somewhere.

Speaker 2:

I know.

Speaker 1:

When this episode posts, we should just post those in there.

Speaker 2:

I have to do a slight edit because it's my dead name.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, yeah, well, we'll just be like.

Speaker 2:

River.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, in that weird like TikTok audio. Yeah, yes, but still like it will be fun to share. Yeah, so you all can see that like we. Genuinely. These are things that we have been interested in. We also had Mark Wahlberg.

Speaker 2:

Mark Mark L Wahlberg. Yeah, I was like, not Markey. Not Markey, not the racist.

Speaker 1:

Not the racist, the guy from Temptation.

Speaker 2:

Island, temptation Island and Tix Roche.

Speaker 1:

Yes, Anyways, we're getting, so we are welcome to the show. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 2:

That's what the shirts are going to say. Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 1:

We. I think the other thing that was great about House of Villains, going back to that was that both of us looked at each other and we're like wow, shake is so outside of his element. He like should not be here right now.

Speaker 2:

Outclassed Like bottom, like F tier villain Like we were, just like wow. His casual misogyny certainly seems to have landed him in the same room as some of TV's best villains of all time.

Speaker 1:

And like villain reality TV, villains are class in and of their own in some cases. So I think if you're thinking of villain, you're like a jacks, is like an emotional manipulator, yeah, and like like B tier villain. Yeah, like yeah.

Speaker 2:

Like. That's the standard by which we judge villain.

Speaker 1:

But when you think of like a Johnny bananas, a Johnny Fair play, an Omarosa, like these people who have been doing this for fucking years Forever. Forever, they're like strategic in their villainy. Yeah Well, and also.

Speaker 2:

Omarosa, but even before the apprentice was like a political consultant.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so so like.

Speaker 2:

She does this professionally, she's. She is a professional villain. We do not stand but yeah.

Speaker 1:

So shake is just like. I'm just happy to be here. I just don't like women. I came here for the 200K. I have a shirt. This is no fatties. Like what that's. So I think that, like that was hilarious, that we both both were like.

Speaker 2:

Oh, Carol Baskin makes an appearance.

Speaker 1:

Yes, so they did a preview for the next episode.

Speaker 2:

Are for coming up this season. Yes, this is yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, carol Baskin, I bitch that bitch, carol Baskin. I said to you after, like she got paid for her lions and tigers, yeah, and it's very expensive being Carol.

Speaker 2:

Who was the other one? Oh, okay.

Speaker 1:

So the one that I was very excited about and you were like.

Speaker 2:

I don't know her.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, is Spencer Pratt.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So for those of you who are big on like the, the, the Hills, mtv, laguna Beach, all of that era you know Spencer, like Spencer Pratt is of reality TV villain. Honestly, I would love to go back and watch some of his episodes because, like, genuinely looking back at it all like he was such a troll, I think that, like there's like this balance between being a troll and being a villain. He plays it very well, but also he's just so fucking funny. He has this like persona online where he's just like look at all of my crystals. I bought this very expensive crystal. Yeah, I after I was like you don't know who Spencer Pratt is.

Speaker 2:

No, I don't know really any of the people, except for like Jax, obviously the shake, obviously yeah, what's your face? The.

Speaker 1:

Oh, Tanisha from Back.

Speaker 2:

Girl's Club Tanisha. Thank you, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And I know her but, I, don't even know yeah.

Speaker 2:

And New York, yeah, and Bobby seems unhinged.

Speaker 1:

Oh my God, okay. So I don't know how many people who are listening to the podcast have ever watched Love and Hip Hop. I used to watch it religiously. I did watch the Cardi B season and then I dropped off and then I was like I need something to watch. Maybe I'll try watching this again. And it was Love and Hip Hop Miami, where Bobby Lights is part of that cast. Bobby Lights like he seems very chill in the first episode oh, we have not seen anything yet. Like he is straight when he says he's a Scorpio.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no lies total. Also, when I try to remember who he was talking to, he was like you went to jail, I did too.

Speaker 1:

I'm a felon, yeah, work, work, I mean. So I am so excited, like the first episode was entertaining, it was good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was like it was totally fun. I feel like Bobby calling Joel McHale person daily.

Speaker 1:

How did we not talk about that? It was just like perfect it was and, like Joel McHale, is like the perfect anti-host.

Speaker 2:

I was gonna say I feel like he's hamming it up a bit too much, but like it's pretty good.

Speaker 1:

It's pretty good. I think he's kind of like He'll settle in. He will settle in. So, honestly, if you haven't watched it yet, you should definitely watch it. If you're in Canada, like us, it's on AU.

Speaker 2:

Only one episode out so far.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I saw that Jax is doing watch parties at his new bar, jax Studio City. Have we not talked about we're gonna Okay?

Speaker 2:

No Jax Studio City. No muddling tonight.

Speaker 1:

No muddling tonight, no muddling ever. Yeah, so when Scandival all happened, basically there was talks about bringing Jax and Brittany and Kristen and all the old, like the old cast back and I don't know about. Like, nobody really talked about Stossi. I think there was some like conversation about it, but I know what Stossi's moved on. Yeah, exactly, I think Stossi's moved on, but they were kind of like going back and forth on what the formatting would be, and so apparently, actually, you know what, we're just gonna get into the Mac and we're gonna get into the Vanderpump.

Speaker 2:

Let's just talk into Vanderpump, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So apparently they are planning to do a spin-off of Vanderpump, which is, I think, centered around If I read all of this correctly, I'm pretty sure it's centered around Jax's new bar called Studio City.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, so it's gonna be Jax's show finally.

Speaker 1:

It's gonna be Jax's.

Speaker 2:

he's finally the number one guy I mean, he's always been the number one guy in my heart.

Speaker 1:

So Jax is it's gonna have Jax, Brittany, Kristen, yeah, and from what I've heard, rumors online also Macs.

Speaker 2:

Oh, oh, macs, that I don't care about, correct, oh man, I.

Speaker 1:

Now listen, things change very rapidly in the Bravoverse, in the Bravo BCU, the BCU, so I could be spreading misinformation right now.

Speaker 2:

But you said it confidently, with your whole chest.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. It sounded good, so I mean these are the things that I've seen online by other podcasters. These are the things we know. Yeah, so I'm just. I think that's. It's partial facts.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's like facts and I stick with it. So now that they're gonna do that spin-off again, I also think there was someone else from another reality TV. Anyways, whatever, it doesn't matter, but Macs. So you were wondering about what the T was on Macs, and then we will talk about how we finished the other podcasters Give me the T, tell me the Macs T, maybe I will care about him. So remember, katie was always like Tom, I'm gonna run a train through your entire staff. I love that you are smiling right now. Nobody else can see.

Speaker 2:

No, it's not, but also sorry, real quick. Running a train means something different.

Speaker 1:

She's like I mean sleeping with everyone.

Speaker 2:

It's like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It means sequential guys.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Like the same Sesh, yeah, I yeah, anyways 64 dicks in a row, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yay, Okay, continue. So there are rumors again. These are all like. It is not known to be fact. It's just what I've read on the internet from other podcasters and like people who cover the BCU. Apparently, Katie and Max have hooked up and it's been going on for a while. They're not exclusive or dating or anything.

Speaker 2:

And it doesn't matter. I don't fucking care. Yeah, like I care about Katie. Katie's been done so dirty. She's the least charismatic, most like terribly edited person on that entire show. I think she's been done dirty, yes, but the fact that it's Max, I'm just like how the fuck I wish I did.

Speaker 1:

See, I thought you would care and be like no, katie, why would you do that?

Speaker 2:

No, she can do whatever she wants. And like Max is like, so whatever. Fair. If it was Max Vanderpump or Max Todd I'm not sure which whose last name he takes- I don't think.

Speaker 1:

Anyways, then I would care a lot. Yes, then I would care so much. I don't think that would happen. Yeah, anyways, max got buff. He did get buff.

Speaker 2:

Let's talk about like Okay, so like it was season 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's talk about finishing. I don't want you to start, okay. So I feel like everything that happened in season 10 led up to Scandalfall. Yeah, it's like there was like this whole subplot where, like, will they, won't they, with like Rachel and Schwartz.

Speaker 1:

Yes. And it was like but okay, hang on, Before you continue, it seemed to remember, even as we were coming up to season 10, you kept going Ariana's fully checked out of this relationship, yeah yeah. So, like I was, like, I'm not gonna spoil it. I mean, I know that you know that they are not together.

Speaker 1:

But, I don't want to like cause. Clearly, after watching all of those episodes, even with the produced storyline, like do you think cause Ariana has always been like. I still loved Tom, I still went like, do you honestly believe that they were like again? I'm not trying to be a Santa, I'm not apologizing, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2:

But like no, and like to quote Ariana. Like, if you have a problem in a relationship, you go to the person about it and you either solve it together or you break up.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

And I am fully on board with that.

Speaker 1:

I think we've talked about this extensively Like there's no point to be in a relationship, and just especially if you're not happy.

Speaker 2:

It does get super complicated when we get like money involved and all that jazz. But they're, they're all fine, yeah.

Speaker 1:

They're all so fine with everything. Yeah, I mean, I don't know about Santa ball he had to use-.

Speaker 2:

He just blew his mom's retirement, retirement. Two victims in in Scandiball Ariana Tom Sandoval's mom.

Speaker 1:

Okay, okay so. So, beyond that, what else did you think of the season I?

Speaker 2:

think I think every season I say this and every season I like really mean it. It's like I think Lala is not a great person, but she makes for excellent TV.

Speaker 1:

She should be on House of Villains, 100% Like Lala on House of Villains would be top tier and she just steam rules everyone if she doesn't want to hear it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and like it's so funny, like Ariana in the reunion episode, ariana's like I'm going to do the thing you always told me to do when somebody's disagreeing with you and you don't like it, you just talk over them and say the same thing over and over again. And I'm like he learned that from her, from Lala.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

Like Lala is like, she starts that, but before she gets it she just bitch, don't even go there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, she has a lot of. She has a big personality.

Speaker 2:

Big personality.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, what is so? The other thing, throughout this entire season as well, was we sort of to your point. We kind of saw this like arc of Rachel being like I'm so messed up after my breakup with James, which, to be fair, I think anybody would be.

Speaker 2:

Anyone who dates James is messed up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I am like still shocked to this day that him and Ally are together.

Speaker 2:

I know.

Speaker 1:

But I think the thing that I said to you is I feel like Ally balances him in a way. That is something that I've never seen with any single person that he's dated.

Speaker 2:

Well, she doesn't back down. Yeah, Also like Kristen didn't back down, but she was aggressive about it, Whereas Ally is like hi, I'm removing myself from the situation. Like we've seen her walk away multiple times where she's like I'm not engaging with this. Like I don't like this side of you, I refuse to be involved.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. Which I think is like there's a level of maturity.

Speaker 2:

I think so too yeah.

Speaker 1:

And I think not to use business speak, but I feel like Ally is modeling the behavior that she wishes to see in a relationship.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely Fully agree. I'm aligned with that.

Speaker 1:

I feel like and please tell me if you agree rewatching the season and also in season nine, we see like Tom Sanofal just becomes an asshole.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I think back to like the conversation that he had with Kristen in. Vegas. I think it was yeah, when, like him and Ariana had just started things, so it was like season three, season four and he's like crying and you can be and like he's like I wish we worked out and like I was like this is actually a very nice moment in this.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And we see that reflected in this season, with Tom Sanofal crying and no one is having it because they don't believe it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I think one of the takeaways that I had was I don't know if Tom Sanofal has like if he's a narcissist.

Speaker 2:

I don't know she has narcissistic tendencies, at least in the show.

Speaker 1:

Well, yes, that was what I was going to say. The fact is is that when you give someone like that any kind of power, tom Sanofal.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I've worked, as previously mentioned, I've worked for people like this.

Speaker 1:

It's just a bad combination.

Speaker 2:

Bad combo bad combo, keep them humble.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so we are so excited for the next season.

Speaker 2:

Like unreal, I can't wait to see Schwartz's midlife crisis here.

Speaker 1:

Like it's so bad.

Speaker 2:

He needs a tone Like Schwartz.

Speaker 1:

what are you doing?

Speaker 2:

I just remember, like when, like I think it was on TikTok that we saw that and it was just like and they're like what's going on? He's like I'm having a midlife crisis.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm having a. I mean Fair the self-awareness.

Speaker 2:

The self-awareness.

Speaker 1:

And then I guess, when we finished we had nothing to watch. It was so sad, it was very sad.

Speaker 2:

I was just like you were like we can watch the bear and I'm like I need something, not like high ground, I need not that let's watch Gloves Blind.

Speaker 1:

Let's continue. This train wrap yeah.

Speaker 2:

So we watched the new season of Gloves Blind.

Speaker 1:

And in less than like two days right.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, no, it was last. I feel like we watched it in one weekend, like start to finish. And like we're caught up or all taps that's in.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like we. Just we watched what happened on Friday. I'm shocked at the couple that got married.

Speaker 2:

I don't know if we Can't shall we say spoilers here, so we can talk about it and then like skip to we're gonna drop some Gloves Blind spoilers.

Speaker 1:

So if you haven't watched it and you wanna watch it and you don't want it to be spoiled, you should skip it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, just go watch it, come back, okay. So people in the pods I feel like the pods this year were so unhinged.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Like the fact that Uche and Lydia were dating.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I have also never seen the heel turn that Uche made Like cause I like. Every season I'm like well, there's always like like the villain you think it's gonna be, and then there's the villain. And it felt like I don't even know if Uche got to like the villain status, but like the intranets opinion of him went from like this is the man that we all want to be with to oh, fuck this man, yeah, fuck this man entirely, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

To be fair. So I've been catching up. I've been doing some light reading on the Uche-Lydia situation, and people also do not have great opinions of Lydia either.

Speaker 2:

Yes, that was the general consensus. I saw to talk anyway.

Speaker 1:

I mean I think to be fair.

Speaker 2:

We're building stands in this household.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but I think, to be fair, most of the internet hates the entire cast. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I like Milton. I didn't at first. I was no, at first I was like I like this guy. And then there were a couple of red flags where I'm like like he was being a little too mean to Lydia but for not having English as her first language and I'm like that's kind of a red flag for me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there was also something else that he said where I was. Just he told Lydia that she didn't handle herself well when the Ujjay situation happened.

Speaker 2:

And he was just like you need to be a little more like me yeah. And I'm just like ooh.

Speaker 1:

Like bro, that's not the thing, you were 24, bro. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

No one needs to be more like a 24 year old.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna pass on that. Yeah, I saw a really great tweet. I was on Twitter and Black Twitter was doing what Black Twitter does and someone said that Milton essentially got married to Lydia spoiler Because he wanted to piss off his HR department family.

Speaker 2:

His family was so intense.

Speaker 1:

His family was so intense. I was like yeah, his dad seemed chill. His mom also.

Speaker 2:

Okay, his sister seemed very intense.

Speaker 1:

Listen, I get it. They're like you're on a show and you've only known each other for like a month. Like how the fuck are you getting married? And Milton blessed him Cause obviously we like him I. He just seems like a weird 24 year old kid who does not have their shit figures.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he's a software engineer. He's like I'll never grow up. He's not a software engineer, Is he not?

Speaker 1:

I thought he was also a geologist. That's why they no, he's he. Ha, that's his hobby.

Speaker 2:

He's an engineer, oh and he's junior and they have him doing a lot of project work, which to me screams software.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's got it.

Speaker 2:

That screams depth to me Got it okay, I don't know if I should be wrong, like he could actually be doing, like I don't know, civic or.

Speaker 1:

I know that Lydia is a geologist, yeah, so anyways, that's why.

Speaker 2:

I thought, like they bonded over, that they bonded over rock.

Speaker 1:

So I just remember they had the dinner in the museum.

Speaker 2:

It was very sweet.

Speaker 1:

Very sweet. How has we not talked about Izzy?

Speaker 2:

I was just about to say we need to talk about Izzy and Stacy. What kept con? I originally called Stacey Stacey and now the name Stacey has been replaced by Stonacy forever. Anyway okay, izzy, that whole love triangle in the pods where what was it? Johnny, izzy and Stacy oh, it was somebody else. And then Stacy was the last, second Got it.

Speaker 1:

Well, anyways, let's talk about the gathering, the get together, when they brought all the pod people back together.

Speaker 2:

Before that, can we talk about the fact that he doesn't have plates? He has no dishes, because you weren't in the kid, you weren't what, you were in the kitchen at the time that this happened and Like you came back and I was like, oh yeah, stacy's being kind of weird about some stuff, like Like the lost and found and like yeah, like that's just funny, yeah, where he found like she was, like he showed her that like from one night stands he had like a collection of like things that people left behind and she was rooted out by that.

Speaker 2:

I was like that's more funny than yeah but I buried the lead on that Because I did not tell you that this man did not have plates.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean like I feel like the not having plates would rank higher than lost and found. So then, when she was being very like dismissive and weird, with them. I was like I mean, that's kind of rude.

Speaker 2:

You were like oh, by the way, but also he doesn't have plates and you're like, oh, oh, okay.

Speaker 1:

Like isn't this man like in his 30s should? 29 is 29, whatever whatever. If you're 29, you should fucking have plates like dude.

Speaker 2:

I was broke-ass, living in a basement apartment in Toronto, working at Starbucks and I had plates.

Speaker 1:

I had like mismatched plates and bowls, but I had plates. Yeah, sir, sir, the gathering of the pod people. The reason why I wanted to bring that up is because you were talking about Johnny and Izzy. Yes, the way that Izzy and Stacy like went in on Johnny.

Speaker 2:

I'm like, I'm not a Johnny stand.

Speaker 1:

No, I don't like any of these people. Like Chris, I think Chris is okay. I mean, johnny and Chris seem like you good together, very cute.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think that like them dating afterwards, I'm like that's cute, sure. But yes, the fact that they were just like digging in on her, like when was it Lydia dropped like a bomb, or Uche dropped a bomb and Lydia or Johnny just like jaw dropped and looked at Stacy and Stacy's like why are you looking at me? Like?

Speaker 1:

that. Yeah, I was just like girl, you were a Pilates instructor, quote-unquote Operating.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm like well, also, it's an operations manager and it's very clear that she came from money. And then it cut to her at a Pilates student, like why is she teaching Pilates? And then we sort of like, oh, she's an operations manager at a Pilates studio. I mean, I also was like maybe she just owns the Pilates studio and my argument is she probably doesn't, because if you're an owner, you don't take the title operations manager, you take the title general manager or something like problematic and shitty like guru.

Speaker 2:

Well, anyways head guru in charge.

Speaker 1:

They were shitty, you know. Yes, we didn't talk about what is he's credit problems that he didn't think were a big deal. Yeah, and at the end, cuz spoiler alert, they don't get married, they don't get. He said yes, oh, he said so. We were convinced.

Speaker 2:

We were like for sure, neither of these couples are gonna get married, and I was convinced that I was gonna be like Izzy and Stacy, we're gonna be like you know, like both of them are gonna be like yeah, not this. And then I was like I'm, I Think I'm on the fence about Lydia. I think she's probably gonna say no and I think no, please.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, no, he said yes.

Speaker 2:

Because meal ticket.

Speaker 1:

Well, yes, this is the general consensus of the Internet. Oh yeah, I just assume like he's like but another thing that I also saw was that somebody put she's in her 30s, oh Like, owns a car, has a house, like all. Basically she has her shit together. Listen from what we were shown.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to say that, rather than saying she has her shit together, I'm going to say she comes from money.

Speaker 1:

Okay, yeah, that's because fair fair enough but like At the end, when he cuz like, we both looked at each other. We're like, oh, like they're ending this very Chill, yeah, like this seems like a very chill sort of like ending. But then he does this like Direct to camera where he's like you know she will never have any, like I was a gift.

Speaker 2:

She's like all these 45 year olds that she totally typically goes for. None of them could ever provide for her what I could get her and like what fat credit and paper plates yeah.

Speaker 1:

Delusion.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so is he do loo-loos a very good drag name. Is he do loo-loos?

Speaker 1:

It is very good, yeah, I mean. So we've been having a great time watching TV. It's, it's been good.

Speaker 2:

This is like I'm just waiting for a new temptation islands.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's gonna drop soon.

Speaker 2:

I know and you see the Vandertown.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I trust me. I'm in my like peak because there's like five new real housewives starting in the next few weeks and I'm like my body is ready.

Speaker 2:

Like what? What housewife are you most excited about? Either Potomac or Miami you were saying Potomac is like the one you get into, like it's the best one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think if you are a woman with class, like it also. It also just depends because each of the real housewives franchisees, franchises Whatever. They've all had their good moments in time and then it kind of drops off.

Speaker 2:

I assume that, like I'm probably gonna watch start watching, yeah, but like I assume we start with every holy hills, but do we start with Potomac?

Speaker 1:

You should just like watch Potomac with me, okay, cuz To to give you an example. So real housewives of Miami got rebooted. It just started again last year.

Speaker 2:

So you're gonna boot hard to reboot.

Speaker 1:

So they brought back the original cast, except for like one or two people. Okay, and Did they?

Speaker 2:

retcon everything that they make them get divorced and get remarried.

Speaker 1:

No, I think basically like it was a real housewives franchise that I guess wasn't doing the readings I saw they brought it back, sort of like, with some of the original cast and they infused two or three new cast members and effectively like it's become one of the best real housewives out, because they're all very spicy and they're all very like chaotic and and the. The other thing too is that they because it rebooted, I had never seen the original season, so I started with the two new season, like the new seasons that were released Currently, and then I was like, cool, now I need to go back and watch it. So I think sometimes it just depends on. It's like a choose your own adventure.

Speaker 2:

I'm also thinking, I'm assuming like it's similar, so similarly shot to, like something like Vanderpump rules, where it's like They'll like cut to gray scale and show you what the context for things that happened.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you've seen like one episode of real.

Speaker 2:

I've seen bull of gate.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's it, I mean.

Speaker 2:

That was peak.

Speaker 1:

I think. I think that's the episode talk forever about Vanderpump. We could, but we shouldn't, because it's.

Speaker 2:

You don't have a good reason.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, cuz we have other shit to do anyways, if you liked what you heard, remember you can go on to Apple music or wherever you listen to your podcast. Leave us a review, tell us how much you liked the episode, or all of our episodes are generally what we're doing. Tell a friend when can the people find?

Speaker 2:

us everywhere, literally everywhere. Oh, okay, everywhere, like under your bed, back with a pantry. Okay, at high low-brow pod, which is hig h low-brow pod.

Speaker 1:

And that's it. That's it. We'll be back in two weeks with an act like an actual guest. Probably no for real.

Speaker 2:

I'm just so non-committal to this.

Speaker 1:

You're like whatever, maybe we will, maybe we won't, I know.
