SPEAKER_01

You got me? There's my gal. Yes, I got you. Got my scrunchie in? I love it. What's behind you? Let me see. Cherry poppin' daddies.

SPEAKER_00

Zoot suit riot?

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Throw back a bottle of beer. Zoot suit riot. Who was zooted and suited? Who was zooted and suited? I don't know. I guess. Zooed. Amanda and Wes were so zooted out of their fucking minds that I used by saying they were deep suit riot. It's a deep. It was a deep. It was there's layers to that one. Maybe I need to be a little zooted to get it. I wanted to make it. I am a little bit. Yeah, I did not take a any beta blockers before. So I'm at. I'm ready to fucking go. I was looking for pictures of beta blockers, but there really wasn't a good one. Oh yeah. So yeah, yeah. And it was YouTube Riot. Which I loved the 90s swinged. Oh my god, the ska movement. Oh yeah. It was great. Zip Zook. Oh yeah. I mean that that one song you mean? Do you have their single? I have the single. I think I had the album. Yes. Was there another album? You had the album. You would. Cherry Pop. You would. Which maybe we should just get into it. I feel like we should. We haven't introduced ourselves. Hey Jackie. Hey, Mallory. How are you? Good. I'm looking up Cherry Pop and Daddy's hit. Yes. For all of our millennials. I feel like, you know, before we get into this, um before we get into the summer house of it all, we have a couple things to catch up on, which I don't think I think first of all, you were pretty taken aback at my middle school love for the chess soundtrack. So I think we need to give that its due. Taken aback is an understatement. I I repeatedly yelled on me in the streets of Milan. I do not like show tunes of any kinds, but for some reason that one got me and I had the whole album. I listened to it on repeat. You know him, I know him so well. I know every word to it. It was my audition song. Oh my God. I love that song. Nobody's side was my audition song. Oh my God. Should we do it together? Should we do it? I know him so well. Oh done.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

For my senior showcase in college for like managers and things. It's me and another girl. I love it. Chessing deep fucking cut. That's a deep musical theater cut. Musical theater. I know. Well, see, I had this cousin, I had this cousin who had, you know, strong aspirations of being in musical theater, but she was terrible. Like she didn't make a single play. I don't even think she got like a set manager. You know, like she wasn't even like painting trees or anything. She got like nothing blessed. Um, but she was really into it. And yeah, I got into chess. That song really got me, and then I got into the whole soundtrack. So good. It is. But I yeah, I know generally the premise of it, but I've never seen it. I just know the soundtrack. I didn't, I couldn't, so my my high school did it, and I couldn't be in it that year because I was going on vacation and they they wouldn't let you be in it because they rehearsed during spring break. And so I begged to be the stage manager for the show, and so I had to be there for all the rehearsals and everything. And like, I still don't really understand what happened. And I was yeah, you've seen it over and over, over and over and over and over and over. I mean, it's about big chess, you know. I think it's about how much we know versus America, yeah, the comics era. It's exactly it's it's love affair, but the music is banging. Yeah and that's where we got so what was the big hit that came out of that? Oh, there was Bang One Night in Bangkok, One Night in Bangkok, yeah. And then Hitty the Child was always my favorite. Yeah, I feel cooler about chess before it came out and they redid it with Leah Michelle, and now like everybody knows chess, but before that it was like fully the loose only the in of inns. Yeah, would be like, oh chess, wow, so refined your theater taste. But yes, well, you know, speaking of Russia, I think we now need to just segue into what a Polish mammogram is like. Soviet Russia, Polish mammogram. I imagine that much has developed. So let's get into it. First, we need to acknowledge that Mallory and I got back from our amazing Milan vacation, which, if you want to hear about it, we have two episodes all about. And we will, we have not yet looking at you, Jackie, but we will drop links to all of the places we shopped. Yeah. Yeah. That's a real deep tease on the links. Yeah, you really had to hold on. Yeah, we played, we've been playing just the tip with those links for but we basically got off the plane, uh, our respective planes, and got home and both our husbands spontaneously combusted, uh, as it did our families, our own health. Everything just crumbled for the last crumbled couple weeks culminating in a barf in my bed, 4 a.m. this morning. You know, into the sheets. Luckily, it was mostly popcorn, you know, so that's good. Yeah, we both spent a lot of time at ER. Yeah, we, you know what? We were humbled. We were humbled. The universe said, Oh, you think you're fancy shopping at, you know, designer vintage stores in Milan? Eat this. Eat this. Eat a bag of dicks. Your husband. Eat a bag of dicks. Oh, I'm gonna drop a deep cut if you've ever read the book Lord of the Flies. Sucks to your ass mar, Piquet. That is what the world said to us. Sucks to your ass mar. Oh, you're feeling good after vacation. You're feeling like really good about yourself, and like you've got this like confidence, and you're gonna like and you feel like I'm not just a mom anymore. I'm a full woman again. No, I'm getting my neck back, as the girls love to say. No, pink is done now. Fuck off.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you're done. You and your family are done. You're done. A punk is a punk is a punk.

SPEAKER_01

We're coming, we're crawling, crawling out of the dark.

SPEAKER_00

Gloria asked about nice. Yeah, thank you. Gabby's grandmother, if you will. Whose? Gabby of Gabby's doll. All the story. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Gabby of Gabby's doll. Understand. Understand. Right, right, right. Gabby Gabby Dell's house. The movie. The movie. Yes. So in between all the trips to the hospital and the Pew King and the other things, you got to have your titty squeezed by a Polish uh torture machine, I'm assuming. So I've been trying to get a mammo for a while. And it's been a lot of back and forth with insurance and whatnot. So finally got it. Finally got the appointment. And luckily, my husband also had to have an appointment for one of his ailments in Gdansk. So we both went together, dropped him off, went to mine. And very nice facility. So basically, there's like the Polish healthcare system. So you get like the care, those facilities, like the NHS of Poland. I don't know what you I forget what the name of it is. And then there's all these privatized healthcare places that are very, very nice, and you can pay more to go to. So this was like one of those. And it was a women's center. It was called Invicta, which just sounded nice. It's powerful. Invicta. It does. Invicta. Invicta. And it was very nice. It was like the top floor of this like high-rise building. And it had what seemed like, from what I could read from the signs, it had like women's care, and then it had like a fertility clinic and all this different stuff. So finally I had to, this poor receptionist had to go back and forth with insurance for forever on the phone for an hour. We went back and forth with my referral and insurance. And like normally where in America they would have been like, we're sorry, you gotta come. Like, there's no we missed your point. Your point was an hour ago. Like, go kick rocks. Yeah. Go kick rocks. Nope. She stuck with me and she finally was just like, I'm gonna just fucking figure it out. Like, go. Your room seven sweet. An hour later. Was it like we have to reschedule you? Wasn't it just like, go ahead. I was like, okay. So I finally go to room seven. I'm sitting outside, and the door opens, and I hear a man's voice just go, Villinovsky, Villinovsky. And I was like, Oh me? That's me. Peeking. And now for anyone who hasn't had a mammogram, I've been to a lot of facilities. And usually if it's a women's or it's a hospital or whatever, like you go in a room, you change, you get a little gown, you put your stuff away. In the nicer facilities, it's like relaxing. You wait in a little lounge area, you go in. Yeah. There's a I've only had a female nurse attendee. You have your gown on, you discreetly take it, you know, take it down. Take your titty out. Take your titty out. It's a very nice This was not, this was not that. Filinovsky. I come in. Oh my. Just me and a dude. Just me and a dude. Take off your top. Take off your top. Just undress from the top. Yeah. Okay. Just put them titties out, girl. I said, oh, okay, sir. So little chair. Humbly take off my top and my brasier. Put it on the chair. Just bring titties. Where would you like to laser? Yeah. Just come on. Just grab them, putting them in. Pop them up. Pop them up. Pop them in. Really squeezing them in there. And no like female nurse also in there to me. Just me. Right. Just me and you. It's just me and you, sir. Hi, hello. Jindobre. Okay. And he would like get it in, and then he would also, I'm trying to show Mallory, do a nice push down to push down my fat stomach as well. And just like a nice each time. Just a nice were his hands cold. They were gloved. Good. Gloved. Okay. At least. Nice. I did not notice the temperature. Good. Good. But that was it. You know, no bells and whistles, babe. Just take off your top whip them titties out. Take off your top. We don't have time. You're an hour late. Take your shirt off. He's like, I was listening to the podcast when you said if you got a hundred listens, you'd show us some tits. So you better show us some tits, girl. Here to collect. Show them them. You got 400 listens, so now I'm gonna grab them. Yep, that was it. Four four pictures, put your top back on. Get the fuck out of here. So amazing. Thank you. Result gone. Nothing. Yeah. Just leave. Just run. Run away. Yep. Just run away. So I don't know. Just run away. Just run a good. I don't really know. I don't really know how that works. Yeah, so that's I think that's a good summary of what's been happening. You know, hospital, hospital, puke, puke, puke, hospital, and titty squeezes. You know? That's that's and now we're here. No, I need to decide my own crew. Oh god, no, there's one more. Okay, so we're at one of the few ERs we've been to, and my husband's there in a lot of pain for things, and so we're just asking for drugs and drugs, and we're there for hours, hours and hours and hours. And we are sitting outside the ICU. I've been dying to tell you this for like two weeks. Oh my God. And there is a nurse. So the the our our translator is with us, and she's like giving me lots of information and and whatnot. And she's and we're noticing that pretty much like all the nurses and all the doctors in there are very young, which is nice, which is fine. But like very, very young. And so, I mean, we're there for hours and hours. So I'm like observing things and looking around. So the I so I see doors to this area and people coming in and out and stuff. I'm like, is that the ICU? She's like, Yeah, that's what would probably be considered the ICU. I'm like, okay, this nurse comes out who is like 60 something years old. She's been there since the hospital was constructed. I mean since the wall fell. Yeah. She comes out of the ICU, she's standing in front of the ICU door, might as well be ripping a cigarette. And on her feet are flowered Birkin stock sandals. Dogs out. Dogs fucking out. And I am just in the ICU. Oh my god, and you know how I feel about feet. Okay, whatever you say about I am just looking at her, and it's finally ready to go. You need to get Katie on. She's in the what waiting room. She needs to hear Katie. Okay, she needs to hear this. She needs to hear this. She needs to hear this. She's should have died. Spoiler alert, we have a friend of the pod, Gen Z expert Katie P. There she is. Hey. Beauty, Katie. Hair pulled back. Hello. Thanks. So great. Is it is it in the Amanda Pony with the what did they call it? What are we calling that? A rat tail bun? I don't know. Name online for it. It was like a bunny tail. A bun. It's a ponytail.

SPEAKER_00

That is way too cute of a name.

SPEAKER_01

But with catness in the background. Oh, we're praising our queen, Jennifer Lawrence, for finding the uh the leak. Did you see that that has been like the rumor mill for like since it happened? Yeah. It has been. I know it got out. And find how that happened. He confirmed the one who found who leaked the audio. The Summerhouse audio. But Katie, real quick before we get into Summerhouse, right before you joined, Jackie was telling us about being at a Polish hospital, watching a nurse come out of the ER in Birkenstocks with her toes out. I see you, nurse. You know how you feel about this. I see nurse. That's why I said we need to get Katie on right now. She said let her in. She said, we need to let her in. Dogs out. And I'm looking at her and I'm like, I look at our translator and I go, does that nurse have sandals on? And she's like, yeah. I'm like, are nurses and doctors in the hospital allowed to wear sandals? Open toed shoes? Open-toed shoes. And she was just like, as long as they're flat, yes. Like, of course. And I was like, Did does nobody care about blood? I was like, bodily flaws. Bodily frightened? I mean, imagine you're just changing a bedpan. God forbid you drop it. The bed next to us was getting an enema. And I was like, you're gonna do that with your to with your Tootsies out? And this nurse out was like 107 years old. She might as well have been ripping a cig outside the ER. Like she didn't give a fuck. She was like lifting all in this toe. I do not care. I don't fucking care. They are built different. Medical. I would be like, put me on a plane to America. I'm sorry. I can't see. Immediately. Do not trust the medical care here. If there are Tootsies in the room, I could be bleeding out. I could have five minutes left on this earth, and I am not being treated in that hospital. I'll be like, can you put socks on at least before you snitch me up? I'm sorry. Your toes are staring at me in the face. Your toes are making eye contact with me. Yeah. My husband would not want you to use the paddles on him until you have shoes on. Okay. Yeah, like we have standards. That's a different level of intimacy. I'm sending you both the picture. Oh no. I didn't believe it. I couldn't. It's all I could look at for hours. I mean, you know what? I I made my husband wears sneakers on the beach. We don't throw sandals at the beach. No. Yeah. Like run a tight ship around here. Yeah. Uh uh. No. I couldn't believe it. Wow. I was like, you know, sometimes I doubt America's greatness, you know, especially in these times. Oh, that is gonna like make me screening eagle. I have I have like America Pride again. I'm gonna go buy an American flag and put it outside my house right now because I've never been prouder to be an American there are so many of those moments. Like one, ice and water. You know what I mean? Air conditioning shoes. Diet Coke. Not Coke Zero, diet coke. Diet Coke. Coke late. Dieter. We have differing opinions on that, but understood. Understood. At least give me the option, you know? At least give me the option. Nothing ever felt so wrong as seeing your dogs. That is tough. Like a medical professional, a true medical professional actually wouldn't. She's like ashing in your open wound, you know, might as well be. Like also like sterility. Like, what if you have what if I have a gaping wound and you have toe jam in the room with me? I mean, you didn't put it on my foot. Yeah. Yeah, no, uh things are dropping left and right. Like, yes, it's all thank you. It's all bad. And you're bringing that, yeah, that blood that is drips on your foot into my room. So I have two follow-up questions. I know we don't know this, but I feel like maybe we could do further research. One, are labor and delivery nurses also wearing bunch socks and open-toed shoes. Question. Oh, one great question. Are surgeons also wearing open-toed shoes in the operating room? All right, can we do that? I think you'd ask a translator on our group chat on Instagram. Just sent them both to you. Okay. It's Katie Powell. Actually, I put that later. Um I don't know if I'm right now because there is blood on one of them. There is blood. Oh dear God. Oh. Yeah, and she's definitely not a foot model. Not that like I give her two people. No. Because they never are. And even if they can't. It's like when you go to a nude beach, the people at the nude beach are never who you want to see. It's like when they talk about like swingers, and it's like it's always people you don't want to swing with. You know? Always. Yeah. Nobody hot is out there swinging. Yeah. No, I had. They said as long as the shoes are flat and sturdy. I'd rather you wear my pumps. I'd rather you wear pumps. I'd rather you wear two. A lot of crops. There were a lot of crops. Right. Of course. I would argue socks. There were some Chuck Taylors. Uh there. It's because now then all I wanted to look at was the footwear. There were a couple Birkin socks with socks on by some young male attendees. But even still, even still. Like you still can't disgust the tape. Even like a wet sock is worse than just a foot, in my opinion. You also can't get like a good grip in a Birkenstrom. Especially on like a tile floor. So like there are times that you need to might be like heaving people, like lifting them up from a wheelchair, whatever. God forbid you slip. Slip?

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

God forbid your little sandal falls off and you have to say, oh, hold on, and then try to get the sandal on back on with your foot while someone's like. You're like, hold on, I just might have like three seconds to live, and we just wasted those three seconds while you try to get your sandal back on. You tried to get your broken stock back on.

SPEAKER_00

Wow.

SPEAKER_01

Good. I'm glad you I was really deeply excuse me, nurse. Can you cover up because you're offending me? Like that is just thinking about it. Okay. So you know what? The American healthcare system, like we can dog on it all day. And we should. But there's one thing I know for sure. That would not fly. I can't even wear those. I couldn't even wear those in like my 10th grade science classroom because it was on Sick DevOpen toed shoes. Yeah, of course not. Closed toed shoes should only be in kindergarten. That's what we send them to in the at school. Closed sneakers. Uh-uh. Unbelievable. So I just wanted to share that. Segway into summer house. I don't know where the leaves are. Seamless. Here we are. Yes. Seamless. All right. Well, let's all just take a pause and let it wash over us. Okay. So I watched it last night and then I watched it again this morning. I watched it this morning, so it was fresh. My thoughts. I should have written them down. I wrote some down so we could do that. One of the stuff, I think my my glaring opinion. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't learn anything supplemental, but my my glaring opinion is if you show up to a Bravo reunion and you are drugged out of your mind, it's almost like you didn't even show up. And I believe you should be signed by the network. I believe you were not doing your job. Like you there, they they're an argument, we were still there, blah, blah. Yeah, but you were there as a medication. Physically there. Yeah. You were physically there. You were not there mentally. Totally agree. And I'm sorry, how is it not more embarrassing to be in that state than it is to be like sobbing on camera? I I think that is less humiliating than being there like a zombie conked out, you know. I agree. Again, I'm gonna give fucking Tom Sandoval one morsel of credit. I know. He was there. He might have been on something, but he was there. At least it was upper. You can't be allowed to be on a downer. No, you can be on the it makes you look more psychotic. They look psychiatrists by looking completely to feel like and I wonder, I would love to know the mechanics of how the like bonus episode came to be. I mean, it most certainly was them saying, Oh shit, we got nothing from them at this reunion. So we have to do something. But I wonder how they like got them to do it. If they were like, we are going to fine you for not participating because you guys are both drugged out if you don't do this uh supplementary episode. Like I'm interested because. Because Wes didn't look in the previews for the supplemental episode, he doesn't look that much more in it than he did at the reunion. You know what I mean? Like he doesn't look like he's a normal person interacting with other humans, you know? I saw something. What was Kyle on? He was on some maybe watch what happens live before they aired that. And it was like, have you talked to West yet since the reunion? And he was like, No, but I'm about to tomorrow, I guess. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. I think they had to have recent. They had to have I I genuinely think because even Lindsay pointed out the end, she's like, I feel like I didn't learn anything. And truthfully, like, yeah, I think that they knew how big it was gonna be and they knew that they like dropped the ball because I I do think a lot of it being one because Amanda and West were like so fucking drugged up out of their mind. But I also think like they just couldn't get any further information. And I think also because like the dynamics of understandably, Sierra's pissed off and angry, so she's gonna chart back, she's gonna keep saying things. So probably like in order to get the answers that everybody wants, we probably have to split people up. Do you know what I mean? Like that's probably just how they had to do it. It's gonna have to, like, she's not gonna say what she needs to say in front of Sierra. Yeah. I I think it's ridiculous. I also need to know when it was filmed because like I don't like them playing with me, acting like there's some chance that Lindsay convinces her West is like the wrong guy and she breaks up or whatever. No, because they're in Italy right now. They're in Italy right now, spitting in each other's mouths. Exactly. They're spitting in each other's mouths as we speak. So like don't don't fuck with me. I'm not an idiot. I can't. I think that's just Amanda trying to like, I think that's that's just Amanda trying to be like, you know, oh, poor me. Oh, I'm getting played too. I think that's her trying to play into the good graces of the public. But it's like well, yeah. My other my other huge problem with this, and I don't know if it's the cast or if it's Bravo or what, but they are setting up a redemption arc for Amanda. Last part two and part three of the reunion are convincing her what a bad guy West is, and he was dating this and that. To me, I could give two shits about any of that. That is not the story. The story is you betrayed your friends are your best friend. You are the monster, not him. I couldn't give a shit if he slept with the whole starting line of the Eagles. Don't care. You know, like doesn't matter to me. I would like to know if you did it. Yeah, I would care. I would think I could watch it. I mean, I don't care a little bit. I care a little bit. I care a little bit. Okay, I I am my statement. I care a little bit. But like to me, that is not the and Miha, don't give a shit about her. Don't want to see her on the camera, don't meet her on next season. See, I think I want the she was the timeline. Yeah. I want the and she gave us that and we're done. Like, but we already had that, you know. I think we already had that. I don't I don't need that was a good moment when the the Miha stuff came out and the timeline, and he had to admit that, like, yes, she thought we were in an exclusive relationship because I was telling her that we told her I loved it. Because I told her God forbid. And that he sent her flowers on Valentine's Day and that they had written together for like a year, and that she thought he loved, they loved each other, and to see Amanda's face while that was happening was very interesting. Because it I mean, yeah, no, I guess that's true, but like in the sense that I want Amanda to suffer, but not in the sense that I want to make Amanda into a victim. Like, I it's not gonna work. No one cares. This victimization of her, she has not taken responsibility for a single thing. I'm gonna walk away from this reunion with a lot to think about. Bitch, what has been happening until now? Yeah, no, think about her off. And I was like, I'm gonna start out. Get Andy out of here. And then he was like, Yeah, he was like, We took her to an hour. It's like we have a we have a hard stop at 7 30. Babe, please rent this so whole stage for 48 hours by time. We have a chance. I will crowdfund, I will crowdfund it until their SSRIs wear off. They're staying. I want to see these monkeys dance. Help them three alcohol. You go find the pills in their dressing room, you flush them down the toilet, and we're gonna sit here until those babies. You give them those alcohol tablets that you give your dog when they you make them vomit up on the street. Yes. Yes, right here. I'm gonna stick you with an ID. Get your breath. Yeah. Make peroxide with vanilla ice cream like my dog, feed through them, throw it up, throw that pork. Exactly. Exactly. No. No. This is why they needed to have fucking fan toast reunion. You know why? None of that shit would fucking fly. I like the mental health element out the window. All right. Like, show up. We all have mental health problems, Amanda. Yeah, all of us who work who slave away at a desk job, at a nine to five, at a at a Polish hospital with our toes out, if they have to slave away and do our jobs. You have to show up to your little drinky dink bullshit job, right, and fucking do it. Amen. A hundred percent. Guys, we get into it about Summerhouse. We had to break this episode into two because we had a lot to say. So if you want to do a deep dive with us on Summer House as a whole, the reunion, the future of everything, we get into it all. We're gonna have a special episode coming out that is just Summer House for our Bravo girlies and guilies. So follow us on the social at Instagram at a Kiki Catchup, and we will be telling you when that's up, and we'll be posting all sorts of weird stuff and doing what we do. All right, guys. Bye bye.
