Hi guys, welcome back to another episode of two teas in a pod. Good morning, Dolores. Hi, hello. Hi. I miss you too. We both have been so busy, but we haven't been on the pod together. It feels like forever working. I know, right? So you happy premiere day? Oh, thank you. So excited to be recapping Road Island with you and Teddy. Wait a second. I just sent you all a picture of my leg because this is how swollen my body is. Tamra, I am a disaster.
I feel so. Oh my god, you poor thing. You've been wearing heels and on your feet. Yes. So anyone who can't say I'll show you guys. This is how bad I feel right now. I just took a picture. That's my leg. That's my big side of beef hanging off me. I am so swollen from just running. I just, it's crazy. Yeah, you've been having fun though. It was so much fun. The girls are great. And I'm excited for premiere day. Everyone. I've been running the streets in New York. A lot going on in New York, by the way. Okay, so I want to get your take on this because Sierra is a really good friend of yours. You did traders together. I love my Sierra. And there's a lot of shit being slung on the internet about, you know, the whole, you know, West and Amanda of it all. You had said you were. Near city or something when you found out about.
What happened? Give me the dirt. I'm going to give you the dirt. I'm going to give you the dirt. And I'm going to give you the dirt. I'm going to give you the dirt. And I'm going to give you the dirt. And I'm going to give you the dirt. And I'm going to give you the dirt. Because this cat was like the rumors started to get. Louder and louder. Like there was like little stop going on. And we're like, yeah. You know, it's like a blurb kind of thing. Or a shitty outlet posting it, right. Yep. And you're like, hmm. in Amanda and we were like, I was like, listen, you know, my speech, I always give two could keep a secret if one is dead, right? I said, you know, it'll come out and then things really started to surface. And then I guess they had to make a statement because it got too hot. Like thing, like there was actual truth coming out about them. And I guess some
outlet, some whatever agency told them they maybe need to get ahead of it, right? Do you think it was a good idea to make a joint statement? I think I don't know. I'm not a PR person. I'm not a crisis situation person. But I can tell you that I don't think it was worded well. There should have been, I'm sorry. There should have been to anyone who we've heard for anyone who's been affected. And what did they call it a situational? It just, it wasn't great. So now I'm like, Frankie Funechali, I'm getting ready for watch what happens live. And I'm of course hungry because when I'm like my cortisol is high, I have the ravenous out appetite. And Frankie Funechali goes to Laura's as I'm trying to put my dress on for watch what happens. Like, do you
believe we just came out and she reads the statement to me? And I like lean against the wall. I'm like, holy shit. And right away, I think of Sierra, but there's also people involved like Kyle as well. Yeah. That we're in the house. You know, a lot of people involved. So we, we go and we're like, go to serifianism, we're like trying to eat. And right on the other side of the wall is a picture of Sierra laying on the ground, basically, not laying but sitting up against on the floor. And I go, that looks familiar. So Frankie touches the, the, the location and goes, it's right here. So we drop our pasta. And I go running across to the other side. And she had just gone in the restaurant to have some drinks with Derek, our manager. And I called them, I go, where are you guys? I just saw you and they're like, we're here. And then Frankie's like, we got to go. You got to be on watch what happens live in a little bit. Oh, so you'll see I am asked about it on watch what happens live. I did speak to Sierra. She's doing okay. So was Sierra in West kind of
dating? So they haven't hooked up on the show. Have they this season? No, no, no, they, I don't think they were dating. I think I'm only assuming they have their closure with their relationship this year. I feel like it. There wasn't like a lot of closure for Sierra with that whole thing. Because there's lots of rumors out there that he was seeing Sierra at the time. You know, there's a lot, I'm sure there's a lot of bullshit out there. And I was like, okay, was Sierra in love with him? I think she had very strong feelings. Okay, because I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure if she's like, we dated three years ago, like, I'm over it or because everybody is like, uh, poor Sierra, poor Sierra. And then there's reports out there that they were still kind of, you know, flirting and seeing each other when she found out that her best friend is in a relationship the other day.
So I don't know that to be true. But, but because of her strong feelings for him, he wasn't just like a drive by. He wasn't like a one-nighter. She had feelings for him during the season. We're thinking like this was filmed last year, basically, right? And I still think like, they were, they were, you know, close. And let me put it to you this way. If I was this close with someone, he would be off limits. Yeah. Well, I heard from an insider that allegedly there was a lot. I'm going to tell Sierra what you tell me so you know. So yeah, there was just, there was some suspicion while filming about Amanda and Wes. I believe that. And so this could possibly have been going on for much longer. Now if she was, or not just time to stamp something. Yeah. And I think like if she was dating Wes while she was
still married, we absolutely have a sand of all situation. Absolutely. I feel like, well, they're not divorced. Are they? They're not divorced, but they're separated. But at the time, unless they were lying to all of us when they filmed summer house, they were still together. But some insiders have said that they spent a lot of time together off camera and on camera. This is going to be summer union. Oh my god. Could you imagine? I think they should sell tickets. Well, here's the thing what I think of it. It's more between Sierra and Amanda at this point. Yeah. Sierra was an amazing friend to Amanda. She battles a lot of depression. She was always there for her through her marriage. She wrote hard for her. And Amanda knew how she felt about Wes. Now, Amanda, you know, was of course like vulnerable, hadn't been in a good relationship
marriage for a long time now. And there's a lot of guys though. Like it's, it can't be, you know, I mean, I'm not in their shoes, Tamara. I honestly, I don't know what to say. I want more, I want more information. How does the show move on? How do they, I mean, I know they have a new show coming out in the city. And I was just seeing clips of it last night. I'm not sure when it comes out. But that's going to air. I'm assuming they're going to go back to that and they're going to go, do you think they're going to go back to some more house and film and, and well, they usually film like June, July. Well, this will make for good TV. Let's see how, how are they putting Wes and Amanda in this house with her best friend and her husband? I'm curious to know if they're together. Still, because you know these things. Right. But do you, so when you talk to Sarah, you're not going to divulge everything she said to you. But how did she find out? Did she find out
from her friend, Amanda? Or did she find out when it hit the press? She did not find out from her friend, Amanda. And you see Kyle cook being is concerned about her little gentleman on the streets 100%. You're in about her not pissed off, but concerned. Kyle and Sierra. I would, I will, I will go on a limb to say, did not know 100% 100,000% until they both, and you never know 100, 000% until you hear it from the horses mouth until you see it in black and white from them. You could still think, oh, fucking mess. Yeah, well, even if there's apparently somebody this girl had pictures of them kissing from another building. They were in my neck of the woods. They were, they were here a week ago or so. They were at in Corona, Omar. They were in Newport Beach. They were
spotted. I think it's gone. Here's the thing. It has to be very serious for them to put out a joint statement. I think that he's, you know, West isn't a guy who's wanted a relationship, right? He just wanted to be with a lot of different people. Well, there's a lot of girls coming out of the woodwork saying that they've been hooking up with them. A lot, a lot. And, you know, he's, he's the first to say, I don't want anything serious. And that was his thing with Sierra. He was like, I don't want to be with her because she wants more than I want, right? He said something like that. So yeah, so they must have some, but I think he likes Amanda. And why do you like Amanda? Because she's off limits? Because she's good point. Good point. Challenge. Because she's taboo. What is it? I, it's so bad. There's one different or is this one not different? Because apparently,
when you were supposed to be with Amanda, you were seeing someone. Right. And also, if you're doing this and you know, it's not good and it's going to hurt a lot of people, why go public? Why be in public places? Wait to see where it goes. Because when it gets to that, like, you don't care. You're just like, you, when she could lose everything. She's losing endorsement deal. She's losing sponsors. She's, you know, she was kind of going to be like America's little sweetheart. Director said she went from hero to zero. Yeah. I said that too. Yeah. Even Rihanna unfollowed her. Listen, we still have to remember that she, we, I don't want to be a part of God forbid. This goes really wrong here. You know, this, I don't want to. I'm, I'm not going to, it's first, her, it's between her and Sierra, and
Wes and Kyle. Even, listen, when your ex-husband or your, your, your estranged husband goes on record to say to you, to say to people, be careful. This girl is fragile. Right. People need to take key to that, key to that. I know. I mean, when you fall on reality TV, it's fucking brutal. The cyber bullying and all that stuff that goes along with it. And, you know, granite, they fucked up as far as I'm concerned. And now it's the attacks on them. And I feel like it's a little bit more for Amanda than it is for West. Isn't it always? Yeah, for the girl. I listen, my main thing with Sierra is she's such a girls girl and a good friend and a good-hearted person. I said to her, I don't want you to change who you are. You're going to
appreciate this one day. You're going to appreciate this experience because it's going to teach you something that not everybody deserves all of you. Yeah. Well, you can't sneak around with your besties X. Yeah, you know, yeah. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of The On purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Noah Kahn. The singer-songwriter behind the multi-platinum global hit, Stick Season, and one of the biggest voices in music today. Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success, his struggles with mental health and body image, and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career. It's easy to look at somebody and be like, your life must be so sick. Man, you have no **** clue. Talking about the mental illness stuff, it used to be the thing that I was ashamed of. I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhealthy physically or in pain in some emotional way in my life to create good music.
If someone says that I did a good job, I'm like, yeah, I'm good. If someone says that I suck, I'm like, I suck. Getting to talk about this is not common for me. Right now, I need it more than ever. Listen to On purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHAR radio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Lori Siegel, and I'm mostly human, I go beyond the headlines with the people building our future. This week, an interview with one of the most influential figures in Silicon Valley, open AI CEO Sam Alman. I think society is going to decide that creators of AI products bear a tremendous amount of responsibility to products we put out in the world. From power to parenthood. Kids, teenagers, I think they will need a lot of guardrails around AI. This is such a powerful and such a new thing. From addiction to acceleration. The world we live in is a competitive world, and I don't think that's going to stop. Even if you did a lot of redistribution, you know, we have a deep desire to excel and be competitive and gain status and beautiful to others. And it's a multiplayer game. What's is the man who has extraordinary influence over our
lives have to say about the weight of that responsibility? Find out a mostly human. My highest order bit is to not destroy the world with AI. Listen to mostly human on the iHAR radio app Apple Podcast or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. You know Roald Dahl, the writer who thought up Willy Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? I must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roald Dahl, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you, I was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Play poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood where he worked alongside Walt Disney and offered Hitchcock before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret
agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids? The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to The Secret World of Roald Dahl on the I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a formula one race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagga Get in change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip. A formula one culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful
decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, God. Okay. Moving on. Oh, so Rugby update. Oh, this expensive. Don't tell me. Don't even tell me. So it's been, it's been a month since he had his surgery. Maybe a little bit over a month. He developed a hematoma over the weekend. Oh, are you kidding? No. The hematoma burst. Gaping hole in his leg took him to the urgent care, stapled him back up. He's back in a cone. I'm like, this talk. He had been limping. Like, you know, like three weeks after he went backwards and he took, I said, take him in. Jumped off the couch. 100%. I think there was fluid
behind the knee or something like that that was causing him not to put any weight on it. Very much surgery. Yes. And so it's like, oh, my God. It's like so expensive. We're 10,000 in so far. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But yeah, I think that's the only veterinarian that I know that doesn't make money. A lot of money. I don't know what, like what's she doing wrong? What's the problem? If I know my daughter, she's doing a lot of things for free. If I know Gabby, bless her heart, a lot of shelters that take a long time to pay. That way she doesn't get her commission. Yeah. So I got to believe that you're gearing up to film. You probably can't tell us when, but how does it? How's that feel right now? It's been about two years, two years. It's been two years. And I'm nervous. Like, I'm looking at you and you're working like a dog. And I'm like, Tamara, I mean, when you're, I don't like even taking a break when I'm working, I don't want to stop. Yeah. Two year break. And I haven't not been, you
haven't been just sitting down for two years. No, I haven't. But filming is a different thing. You have to, it's a consistent, organized, which you know, I'm not consistent. I know. Organized. And there will be new people. I don't know who they are. I don't like that. I really bummed that Margaret's not on. Oh, yeah. You know why? Let me tell you why. Okay. It's the three of you, right? You Melissa, Teresa, you guys all get along. And then there's Margaret who still has like, if she was in the mix, she's still not okay with Teresa. She's still not okay with her. So you have some instant, you know, drama, instant conversations need to be had. And then you're going to have what? Probably three new girls. Three new girls. It's going to be more, maybe more. It's going to be different. It's like almost like a reboot. And Jen Fessler was funny.
Yeah. So when we just throw her in there, she's running herself out for clown parties now. Oh my God, her, her, and she's throw her phone away. That whole acoustic singing. I'm like, what are you doing on this check? You want to work again, don't you? Like, should we call her? See if she's okay? Take her phone in her, in her guitar away from her. It was a lot. Oh God. But I'm excited just so you know, like, filming and doing the podcast is a lot. I am willing to like the days that we're recording. I'll start like at five or six in the morning so you can get it done early. Listen, we'll work it out. Yeah. We'll make a lot to work out. But can we just, what did you think of Jackie's video? Did you know she was taking the piss out of Margaret? Or no, did you? I didn't see Jackie's video. What did she do? She came on. So Margaret said,
came on gracefully exited and said, I'm gonna, you know, I'm declining the offer to come back and these type of things. And it's just not my vibe, you know, whatever she said. Yeah. Jackie comes on and goes, so I was offered a full-time job to come back on real house, like some New Jersey, but I'm going to decline. People didn't know she was kidding. Oh, I actually did see that. I did see it. That was like people didn't know. I knew that she was mocking Margaret. Is that what she was doing? She was mocking Margaret. And I saw Jen Aiden took a job at Margaret too. I don't like that. I didn't see that. I mean, we have a girl that didn't get asked back this season. Do you see me job in her? I did too. You just don't do that. Yeah, yeah. I didn't actually, I did not see it. But, you know, what Margaret, Margaret can handle herself, Tamara, that much I know. Well, I reached out and she was filming that other show. So we haven't connected yet, but I'm excited to talk to her. And the thing with Margaret,
she's busy. She's booked. She's doing things. She's an entrepreneur. And they might bring her back. That's what I'm gonna say. You don't know if they're gonna bring her back. You don't know if they'll bring Jen Fessler back. I just know how these new girls are gonna work out. I just don't see a world. So I don't see a world without Margaret on TV. I don't. Oh God. Okay. So let's get onto the valley. This was so good. It is season three episode one of the valley. I mean, I am so happy that Lala's back. Oh, I was just gonna say that she's so pretty. I get stare at her all day. I know. I mean, let's start out by talking about how many people are not divorced. We have Brittany who's not divorced from Jackson. Why? Michelle and Jesse are also not divorced. Why? I don't know. Both of them have said they've been working out for two years. I can see with Brittany, like clearly, Jackson's probably gonna drag things out as long as he can. And then Michelle's basically saying,
Jesse won't sign the fucking papers. Sign the papers. What are you doing? I don't understand. Who did you know who did get divorced and there's closure? That's Jackson is bar. Did you see them start out the season with them removing the sign down? Yes. I'm like, oh, that's a big bend over. Let me fuck you. Where's he been? No one's heard nothing from him. Last time we saw him, he was getting eviscerated on watch what happens live by Andy. Oh, you know what? You're right. He has not been out and seen out and about since. Not a word, not a peep. Also, Michelle is single again because Aaron dumped time. I know. What do you think? I mean, bye bye, crazy eyes, but what about Lala saying? I really expect people to look me in the eye, but that one I could pass on. She's so fucking funny. I just, I love everything that comes out of that girl's mouth. I really do. I mean, she gets shit. People come from her and I'm like, who cares? Who cares?
So the whole Michelle and Aaron, the whole breakup with them, I don't really care. I don't care. But how do you feel about shorts moving in on her? I don't know. I have to tell you something. I have always liked him. I love him. I think he's cute. I think he's funny. I think he's a good friend. I think he's the type of guy you marry. I like him. So there's six days apart and I don't know how old they are, but I do know that Kristen has not left the house. I think she's got postpartum. I think depression. Yeah. Yeah. You can tell. And it's just, you know, first time mom, you're not used to it. But at that age too, she's older. Yes. Exhaustion. Exhaustion. How old is she? I think she's 40, right? She's 43. Now there's Nia,
who's just popping them out every other year. She's like, no, this is no big deal. I got like four at home and I'm four under four. He says it nine million times. Danny says it all the time. That's rough. Four under four. Well, you know what? They finally moved to, where's it they moved? They've moved out of the valley. They find and they're in Santa Clarita. Well, they, yeah. So is that good or better? I don't know. I like the area. I've been there like driving to, I don't know what I was. Santa Barbara or something like that. It's just a little far out. Right. But they got a bigger house. They got a bigger house with a yard and with all those yeah, they needed it. Yep. Yep. They needed it. But are they done having kids now? She said, yeah. Okay. Good. I want to hear that. Good. She said she almost gave birth in the car because she was an hour away from the hospital. I'm like, I wish my labor was an hour long. Yeah, right? Well, it's her fourth. You had how many now four right? Yeah. Well, listen, we're, we're seeing a lot
of adult stuff now. It's like we watched them when they were younger. By the way, they're acting like adults. Yeah. They're acting like these are adult things that they're talking about in kids and relationships. And, and you know, I, we can all relate to like not feeling yourself after having a baby at any age, right? You kind of lose yourself a little. Most of us, not near, but most of us lose ourselves and we don't bounce back so easily. And you kind of like, you're so tired and you feel like a mask. You don't want to have sex and all this stuff. Like, I get it. I understand what she's going through. And he's like losing patients, I think a little. Well, he needs to sit his ass down. That's what he needs to do. We'll talk about that in a minute. But Janet had two bad seasons back to back. And now she's in therapy. Looks like she's attending the School of Tamer judge. I love Janet. I love Janet. I don't care if it's popular opinion or not.
Janet's been lovely to me. I had my opinions about her last year because I spoke on how she was acting. And you know what? She, I saw her at the eye heart last time we were all together. Yeah. And she was wonderful. Nice to me. She looks great. She looks amazing. And let's see, do you think she's going to have a good season? Or do you think she just can't help herself? Well, why don't you think? Tell me what you think. You're having a good season. Well, we'll see. I think that she just can't help herself. I think like once you are used to getting in the mix of things and it's, it's a hard habit to get out of. So I don't know. This is only her. She's got her pal there now. Lala and her are closed. Yeah. Yeah. To quote Lala, when you have decades of friendship, there's going to be good shit and bad shit. Let's focus on the good shit. Yeah. Let's focus on the good shit. But here's the thing.
I have to say what's right because I say what's wrong. Janet only spoke about. Was she making stuff up? Was she ever lying? Or was she telling the truth when she opened her mouth? I think she exaggerated when he was drinking in the closet doing shots like behind the door. Like he was, he was on a roll. He was drinking. I think that was a little much to say. But there were things that, you know, she was saying what other people didn't want to say and she was doing her job. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, situations like that. It's happened to me for years. I will call people out. I'll get blamed for being the asshole. And then in due time, it comes out what I said was true. And if I mean, I would be rich if every time I heard a red camera was right again. Camera was right again. Just saying. Right. So I'm going to say, but listen, if people aren't receiving what you're saying, then maybe you shouldn't. Right. You'll see that on a little situational thing
like that on Rhode Island. You'll see. Oh, I can't. Early on. Yeah. Zach and Schwartz talk about how quickly Brittany is moving on. Leave the girl alone. My God. Quickly. She's been in a shit relationship. Yeah. As long as we know her, I was sick one night. I was watching their wedding. And I was screaming at the TV. Somebody stop her. And this is a guy that she knew from Kentucky. And they were 22 years old when they met and it seems like a really nice guy. And we found out he has a very big winner. That doesn't pay my bills. I know. Sorry. Stripper or something. Yeah, no, not even sure. We don't make what they used to. That's true. Maybe. Well, you know, he was not a stripper at Schwartz. He says he put on 15 pounds after he closed the bar. Maybe Zach can share his GLP ones. I thought that was great. By the way, I was so happy. I was DMing with Zach. He was so cute to me. I love him. I love him. He's a good friend. He's a good friend to Brittany. He stood by her when people were sick of her,
complaining about the same thing all the time this guy and not doing anything about it, meaning jacks. And he never, he never gave up on her. And I don't, I don't, I look at good friends. That means a lot to me. Yeah. And that's why I have a hard time with the whole summer house thing right now. Besides the fact that I lips here of dearly. I know you do. Zach is just, he's a cool dude. And him just going ahead and get himself a job in the stomach and saying, hey, I'm going to be honest. I'm on a weight loss drug. Here it is. Well, evidently, we find out that that Brittany and Brandon, the new guy are telling each other that they love each other. He asked her to be the girl, his girlfriend. And she, she's not ready for that. She said, I'm just glad she's having sex and having fun. And she has less stress. She's giggling. She's happy. She feels good about herself. She's smiling. I don't think they're still together from what I know. No, no, I don't think
they're still together. But hey, I don't want her to feel like am I going to be bored with a nice guy? No, you're not. Yeah, that's what I was about to say. Don't say that again, Brittany. Because otherwise, I'm going to have to call you. And I don't know you. I don't even know if you like me. But you cannot say that. But it's a thing. It's a thing. Like even from going from my relationship from my ex husband to Eddie, they were so polar opposite that I was like, I don't know if I can do this. Does he like me? Does he like what is going on? Because he treated me so well. That was so used to be treating a different way. So I think that when I hear someone say that, I, well, it happens all the time. But I don't want to hear it. You get addicted to the chaos. No, don't, don't, that's disgusting. You should have an easy life with an easy man. You find chaos with your girlfriends. You find chaos outside of your stability is the man that you're with or whoever your partner is, woman, man, whatever it is, that's your stability. That's not the thing that,
you know, get your adrenaline going because they're making your life miserable. Right. I girls. I think Tom said it well. How about masturbating, not to be confused with masturbating, although it is dating yourself. So I never heard this term before, masturbating is where you take yourself on solo dates to boost self love and independence. All for it. Muscle for it. I think that Brittany needs to do that. She's, I don't know if Brittany realizes how much damage has been done to her in all these years being with him. Yeah. I think that even though she's giggly and she's happy, those things manifest and they come out in other times. And I don't want that to come out for her when she finds the right person. I think that she needs to master date and work on herself and the abuse she's been through before she does anything.
Honestly, I know a lot of people, Natalie and Grotto, who has been celibate now for like two years. She got a dog. She loves her dog poppy. She's beautiful. She's thrived in her Amazon life business. This girl is the happiest. She's ever been. And I know when she meets her partner now, she'll be ready for that person. And she's just a stunning, amazing example of what you should do for yourself to get ready for the person that belongs in your life. Yeah. And I think that Brittany needs that because she was, oh, she was in that drama too. She was no angel in that relationship. Not as much like he was horrible, but she got used to that and engaged in that. Yes. And once that's over and you find somebody that doesn't pull that crop with you, you're like, oh, is this boring? Well, so there's still at the bar, Zach and Schwartz. And the conversation is just killing me. Zach obviously talks about how he, his roommate's moving out and his
boyfriend's moving in, but isn't take much space in the closet because he's so little. So cute, the boyfriend. And they're good together. And he says he'll never make the jump to the valley. He's staying in West Hollywood. And then he makes his comment. I know. He makes his comment to Schwartz. Sex is all about making a baby bull shit. Then why is your prostate in your butthole? Jesus knew what he was doing when he put it up there. I died. I was about my chair when he said that. Yeah. So we got Jesse. So we get to see Jesse's girlfriend, Lacey, who lives in Orange County. I followed her for I have been following her for a while. She seems like a very sweet girl. And he thinks that he's going to have like this modern family dynamic with Michelle and his girlfriend and the little girl. And why not? Lacey has kids. I mean, it's why not though. Well, yeah, coming from you, you were able to do that. Most people are not able to do that.
We're talking about a girl, Lacey, who was throwing legal letters at Michelle and the cast. And you see at the end of the episode, there was screaming and fighting the flashback from last year that they had to cut out because Lacey would not sign a release form. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the on purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Noah Kahn. The singer songwriter behind the multi platinum global hit stick season and one of the biggest voices in music today. Noah opens up about the pressure that followed his rapid success, his struggles with mental health and body image and the fear of starting again after such a defining moment in his career. It's easy to look at somebody and be like, your life must be so sick. Man, you have no f***ing clue. Talking about the mental illness stuff, it used to be the thing that I was ashamed of. I'm just now trying to unwind this idea that I have to be unhealthy physically or in pain in some emotional way in my life to create good music. If someone says that I did a good
job, I'm like, yeah, I'm good. If someone says that I suck, I'm like, f*** I suck. Getting to talk about this is not common for me. Right now, I need it more than ever. Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the IHAR radio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Laurie Siegel and I'm mostly human. I go beyond the headlines with the people building our future. This week, an interview with one of the most influential figures in Silicon Valley, open AI CEO Sam Alman. I think society is going to decide that creators of AI products, bear a tremendous amount of responsibility to products we put out in the world. From power to parenthood. Kids, teenagers, I think they will need a lot of guardrails around AI. This is such a powerful and such a new thing. From addiction to acceleration. The world we live in is a competitive world and I don't think that's going to stop. Even if you did a lot of redistribution, you know, we have a deep desire to excel and be competitive and gain status and be useful to others. And it's a multiplayer game. What's is the man who has extraordinary influence over our lives
have to say about the weight of that responsibility? Find out on mostly human. My highest order bit is to not destroy the world that I own. Listen to mostly human on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. You know Roaldoll, the writer who thought up Willy Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy? Was this before he wrote his stories? I must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roaldoll, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you because I was a spy. Did you know Dawg got cozy with the Roosevelt's, played poker with Harry Truman, and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood where he worked alongside Walt Disney and offered Hitchcock before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past
seeped into the stories we read as kids? The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to The Secret World of Roaldoll on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagged Get in change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip. A Formula One culture podcast that dives into the unborked explored pockets of the sport. In each episode a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals, and sagas both on the track and far away from it that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.
Listen to no grip on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh my god, guys, there's breaking news right now that just came in through our trot board, Si, from the Real Housewives of New York's husband, filed for divorce this morning and cameras are rolling. TMZ posted 44 minutes ago. Here we go. Bravo really keeps TMZ in business. By the way, TMZ is all over the place. I haven't seen TMZ out like this in years. They were all over the scene. So I know they're big in LA. You can go to any restaurant. They're out front. Bravo's keeping them busy this week. Yeah, that's for sure. This month or the last 30 days. Bravo's keeping them busy. So now we have size divorce in the middle of
filming. He files. I didn't see that coming. Are they filming? Yes, they're filming right now. And so, okay, well, I hope. Yeah, all right, so. Okay, you expected Jessel over her now. I don't think so. He's just happy if he gets to go to Vietnam and get his sandwiches. All right, so we get a lot into Luke and Kristen's relationship, navigating parenthood, not having sex, her being tired. I think we're going to find out that she's got a little bit of the baby blues. I mean, is it even fair for him to be complaining not enough sex this early on? I mean, you don't have to wait like six weeks anyways, and the baby's only what six weeks old. Yeah, like, but you don't understand they probably weren't having sex a month before that too much before that. True, true, true. He's not feeling like
herself. I'm not going to say he has no right to be to feel like this is getting a lot. He even said that she doesn't even want me leaving the house to go to the store. Well, who's working guys? I just just neither one of them work. I don't know. Maybe they're influencing. I'm going to just be honest with you. It's a hard time for both of them. He could be first time parents is one of the hardest things. It's the hardest thing. So I understand him saying like, am I ever going to have a life again here? Because he's like tired. She's tired, but I want him to handle it right. Treat her like a woman. He's telling her she's beautiful. He's telling her, I love the way you look. But there's probably more to it. She's probably not only like turned off the sex, but she's probably also any emotion towards him. So she's so focused on her new baby with rightfully so and being a new mom overwhelmed doesn't like her body, doesn't leave the house.
But you know what? She lost me. Nobody's nice to her at the grocery store anymore, but she's not pregnant anymore. I go, oh, stop, stop it. Nobody opens the door for me. Nobody fucking opens the door for me. I open up myself. Even when I am pregnant. Right. I open myself like it. So anyway, she's feeling the baby blues. He's feeling the dad blues. I just hope that they're kind and listen to each other through this time and have patience for each other. Both of them. Yeah. Okay. I know it's hard. Guys, you'll get through it at this time passes. Brittany admits she avoids conflict and pleases everyone. She does. She's used to that. Yeah. Well, she had to be like that, especially with Jax. With the, yeah. You know, sometimes that's a part of someone's personality. I feel like somewhere she comes from and you know, she's like Midwest girl. Like they're not fight, you know, they're just more... Well, it's, Paula calls her out for not defending Janet
and she's like, listen, I avoid conflict. I don't like it. Okay, but that's not an excuse. It was something happens in your house and you're responsible for what happens in your house. But, you know, you're also filming a show camera that she has to let things happen. Yeah, exactly. We see Tom Schwartz and Michelle flirting. That was kind of interesting. I'm a little shy. I don't hate them together. Neither do I. I like Michelle. I think Michelle's so pretty, so nice. I, I hope that they finally stop by like first they're fighting over the boat divorce. Now they're fighting over being nice to the girlfriend. Like things got to stop. Somebody's got to stop somewhere. And I think Tom Schwartz would be a good influence on her. I think we're going to see Tom Schwartz now that his bar is closed and he's out of that element in a way from Jackson, all that. I think we're going to see him change and maybe mature
and grow up and... Wasn't he a kind of a cheater too though? I remember at the reunion, Tom Sandeville was so worried about Ariana saying, well, we were having sex. We were having sex. And Raquel was like, because she was probably telling her that shoot, they weren't having sex. And she's like, we had sex the other day. And he's like, yeah, and what you're sure on. And then, I remember, remember Schwartz was like, he was hurt for her. He was like, oh God, man, come on, don't say that. Like, he's just a stand up. I'm sorry. I know him. Like, I've met him personally I've been on his podcast. Like, I just love him. I like that. I think he's good for Michelle. Well, Kristen's like, Michelle's a fine French wine. And Tom is it Yeager bomb at a sports bar? Okay, maybe he could be polished up. He never polished up. And I think he's going to be he's going to get on the GLP one. He's going to start working out. He's got to think, you know, away from those guys. I always felt like he had more of, um, he was the nice guy. Like, he's he could be a
nice guy. Yeah. Am I wrong? I always said he's the guy you want to marry. Well, Michelle, it's better than the honey maker. Right. His ex wife, um, Katie is now engaged to a singer from sleeping with sirens, which is a band of my kids love. I don't know who that is. Still listen to them to this day. So she is. Do they have like popular songs? Yes, they do. She's with a hot guitarist and a band. Katie go. Yeah. And he's like, you know, they're on tour and she goes with them and she's got a big ol fat diamond ring on her hand. And, you know, she is she's an artist. So she's more for her. I know. I know. Haiti. See, there's life after divorce guys. There is. There really is. You know, you could find somebody who might have been right for you at the time, but, but you don't have to stay with them because you grow in separate ways. Right. Just do it peacefully. Yeah. Be human about it. Let's get into the lacy of it all. So it ends this episode ends
with a lacy coming to the siphoncy. So we finally get to say her name. Let's all say it lacy. Lacy. Michelle wants now. I don't want to say it. I know. Michelle wants nothing to do with lacy, who evidently spends half of the week with her daughter. Now, lacy lives in Orange County. He lives in LA. How is like, did they move in together? And we don't know. Like, I think they moved in together. Oh, they did. How else would they be able to spend half the week with his daughter? Well, I just felt like it was an exaggeration. No, they have that custody. He gets the gets her half the week. She gets her half the week, right? Or however that works. Well, I guess lacy and Jesse are like either living together or spending a lot of time together. So here's me. Here's me. And here's what I'm going to have to say. And I don't really care who likes it or thinks anything of it. If someone's going to have my kid a lot of time,
I'm going to kiss their fucking ass. I'm going to be their fucking friend. I would want you to get to know them. Let's get to know each other. I'm going to let if you're putting an olive branch out to me, if you want to be friends with me every any time you want to do that and I get the chance to get a little closer to someone who's around my kid, I'm going to eat a mile of shit and I'm going to do it. And you know what? Sorry. If you don't cut, if you can't do that, I understand. If you're not capable, if the other person isn't willing to do that or if you don't like that other person so much, I am not blaming you. I'm just talking about what I did. What I've done. Right. Well, before lacy goes over and talks to Michelle, we see Lala talking to Luke and telling him that my mom said my daughter is crazy. Look like you. And then she finds out Luke donated sperm and college to the same sperm bank that Lala used. How long do they keep
the sperm for? I don't know. That's a long time ago. Unless he has to check in every time, unless he's going every, you know, like getting paid to donate a sperm. This is what freaks me out. Why was he donating his sperm at 20? Money. Really? Donate it. You sell it. Money. You're going to donate it. Like, no, you don't do that. I'm saying pay to jerk off. No. Then you have like 50 kids out there. When you're in college and you're not thinking of got to work at Burger King. When you're in college, I think your sperm pays more than Burger King. And in your young kid, you're like, hey, I can make some money for jerking off. And his friends are probably all telling him to do it. Oh my God. Could you imagine if, I mean, do you think there's a paternity test in the works? Oh, well, I think there has to be. If the kid looks, if Lala's mom thinks that's Sosa, oh, 1495, $1,495 for sperm in California, that's a month's pay at Burger King.
Oh my God. One squirt and you get almost $1,500. You know how many people, they should put a cap on how many times somebody's allowed to go. I'm going to go put Eddie to work. You have to have more than 10 million active live sperm. Well, not for nothing. Not for nothing. But when you're in college, you've probably got a lot more than that. Right. There was a guy that was donating like, had like they found like 200 kids of his. I know. Like the sperm bank needs to keep an eye on it. There's a documentary about that. And that's why I'm so gross out about it. So I mean, could you imagine? Could you imagine? Oh, by the way, this is your daughter. I would sign. Uh, I don't know. Well, let's let's move on to Lacey. Does that mean he asked to pay? Does that mean? Is my child's board? I don't think so. Are there kids going to be friends? No, I now I need to know
all of this. So, uh, Lacey decide she's going to go walk over to Michelle and say hi. Now, this is pretty palsy from a girl that didn't even want her face shown last season. And now she's like, I'm going to go walk over to your ex-wife. What made her come on this season? I don't know. Not only what made her come on, but what is making her want to be front and center as well. I went into a scene and going up to her. Is it because Michelle was single and she don't want single Michelle around. But so we did see last year's flashback and they couldn't use it last year because she didn't sign a release. So we see it and it looks like, um, she's showing at the end of a party, the season finale. Michelle said Lacey was crazy. However, when the flashback
comes on, Michelle was the crazy one. She was the one screaming and yelling, get out, get out. We don't know what happened before that, right? We don't know what the buildup was for that before that. But listen, you know, my advice is Michelle and Jesse's daughter has been through a lot of fighting. A lot of back and forth. She's young. It's the most formidable years of her life. There's still time to turn this around. If there's a chance for peace, let's give it a try. Yeah. I mean, Lacey seemed very sweet going up to Michelle and, you know, she's like, yeah, you know, I hope that you guys have like a peaceful to force, like all soft spoken and sweet. And you can tell Michelle's like, get the fuck out of my face. You can feel that way. Let's be like, yeah, thanks. And, you know, but overall, I thought it was a great, great, great. I know what it is. I have grown to love
all of the cast. Yeah. And when I saw them, they're so cute and so nice that I'm still going to call you out if you do something wrong, guys. Right now, I will tell you that. I think it just feels like home with Lala and Schwartz on the show. It does. It feels like home. Do you think that they should bring in any other, um, Vanderpump rules? People? Of course. Yeah. Like, um, will they try to bring in she know what happened with China? Something happened. I don't know what the actual truth is. I don't know if she backed out of her negotiation or whatever, but she will not be on this season from now. I would have liked to see her. But hey, for now, we have, we have Lala and Schwartz. We're good. Yeah. I can't even remember who else was on. Seems so long ago. Well, you know, my thing is China, Lala, Katie, right? Katie ain't need shit now. Um, she's on tour for life. Yeah. What a star. Good for you, Katie. Anyway, do you think there's
a, uh, a possibility that Jack's and Santa Vaughn will be back on TV? No, no, no, NBC's been getting too much shit, especially with the whole, uh, they're not, they, they're shying away from really. I feel like horrible people like really, yeah, to the core. Disrespectful by I think the James Kennedy James Kennedy. I haven't heard anything about him. No, I don't think I don't know how many slip to scroll from out of hotel was what the report said. Yeah, well, I come about witnessed my own. Yeah. Okay. Well, no, I don't want to see that. I don't want to see that. Nope. I'm good with these people and I'm good with what I see and I'm happy and I'm looking forward to the season. Yeah. Congratulations to the cast and Alex Baskin for just producing an amazing show. It really is good. Good job, guys. Yeah. So thank you guys for tuning in to another
