The Valley Persian Style S1E05: Dose of SkyRazzie

What this episode is about

The discussion centers around the ongoing storyline in "The Valley Persian Style," specifically focusing on the characters Gigi and Dennis, who are perceived as lacking depth and relevance to the overall narrative. The hosts express concern that this underdeveloped plot could detract from the show's quality and viewer engagement. Additionally, they promote their upcoming Golden Crappies award show and mention new Patreon offerings.

Key takeaways

• Gigi and Dennis: A storyline so flat, it could double as a table.
• Forget dynamics; Gigi's reboot is a prime example of how not to introduce new characters.
• Reza's full-volume meltdown: proof that some don't learn from cancellation history.
• In reality TV, compelling relationships often take a backseat to the drama of poorly conceived plots.
• This reboot’s misfire underscores a critical lesson: not every cast shake-up needs to be a seismic event.

1:22 Thanks to everybody who's with us over there. You know what? That's it. What? Whoa. Whoa. That's it. Okay. All right. So, the Valley Persian style. Um, we are in Palm Springs and being um trapped in an insufferable storyline about Gigi and Dennis that no one in the audience cares about because they just introduced his character out of nowhere. Did not build in any sort of stakes and we're meant to actually care about the fact that he's here. We're meant to care about whatever her past is with him. And we have to sit through Gigi just trying to be relevant on this show with whatever her situation with Dennis. This is I'm going to say this right now. This Gigi situation with Dennis is going to drag this show down.

2:08 Like this is this is going to kill the Valley Persian style. It's just she has nothing going on. This this there's nothing like organic or interesting about this. Like he should have been a cast member from the beginning. So that way we saw intercast member friction, but they just dropped this guy in. And we're supposed to care. We're supposed to care. We're supposed to be frustrated that he showed up and oh my god, he's at the house. We got to be nice to him. But no, but Gigi doesn't want him to be at the house now. We got to get a hotel room. And it's like like I I'm like I don't care. But I mean Sky and Tanin.

2:38 Okay. I'm in for that. Like I'm in for that all day long. Love that dynamic. Love Sky.

2:43 Love Tanine. Yeah. You know, look, it's like when I am told, hey, do you guys ever cover like you know, just got out of prison and now I'm married or whatever those shows are. And I watched one and my only thought while watching this couple on the show was you're both gross. And I don't care.

3:04 I would rather you were both in prison, frankly. Yeah. Than have to watch you on my TV. And that's how I feel with Gigi and this guy. You're both gross. I don't want to hear about Gigi's [ __ ] dildo business. I don't want to hear I mean, I don't care. So, that's where I'm at with those two. But the show is still pretty fun. I'm like watching the dynamics of the marriages and stuff like that. This was the week that the OG's really and I'll separate MG MJ from this because she was not bad this week, but Resin and Gigi both kind of gross this week and uh like right back to their old ways.

3:35 Gigi's been at her old ways, but like the full like I'm going to attack a cast member now. Oh great, I'm going to physically assault somebody on TV. It's like great. Gigi, have you guys learned nothing from your getting cancelled? Reza just sc openly screaming at a woman like, "Guys, it's why you were cancelled. Get it together. This is your fresh chance." Yeah. I I just think it's I think the issue is that um like the valley, the the the OG Valley is compelling because you have all these people dealing with stuff within their own relationships and within other people's relationships as an intro situation. And this show has that and it's building that. And then you have everything being put on pause that they've built the first few episodes to deal with this completely fabricated and uninteresting situation with Gigi. And it's kind of like it's pushed everything out to the sides and whatever is

4:32 compelling about the show like doesn't have room because of this. And I think this is a total misfire on production's part. It almost makes me be like shouldn't have even been on this reboot. Like that that that's how that's how bad I think it is for the show.

4:44 Yeah. But um whatever, we'll get through it because the show, like you said, the rest of the show has like that's just the annoying part of the show is GG. So um Adam, they're at Adam's birthday party. We're at the restaurant that we got married at. Um which of course has like purple lighting and you know, statues everywhere. It's very this show. And so they're there and Gigi's just lost her [ __ ] at the guy that she brought for no reason basically. And so Adam follows her out while she goes to smoke her 18th blunt of the day.

5:16 And he's like, "Girl." She's like, "Um, I'm not trying to do this on your birthday, but I thought he was going to roll up with like roses and apologies and I was expecting that." And I'm like, "I don't give a [ __ ] man." Like, what is he doing? And then um MJ's like, "Listen, Dennis, even if you told me you guys are 100, okay, I would always have to say what I said to you." And he's like, "I understand. I respect it. I don't really care. I'm just here to get my paycheck. So Gigi's like, I was disgusted when I found out about Dennis trying to get with my friend, but then I sort of put myself in check a little bit because I'm like, well, I only married him to get back at my ex, but I didn't do it with one of his friends, you know? So like, that's [ __ ] different. I'm like, um, this is so much better.

6:02 Pure disaster. Get a job. Get a job is like, yeah, for me to show up and then you don't tell anyone I'm coming and then I get sabotaged. I get sabotaged at a at a restaurant with purple lights. And this guy goes, "Yes, yes, I understand. Very hard." He's like, "Yeah, and of course I'm going to react the way I did. I mean, you should have told him we're not cool. You know, you should have told him we're cool. You know, you should have told him we worked it out and I was coming." This guy's like, "She never wants to take responsibility." This girl, and every time she knows that she's in the spot, she has to explain herself. She gets angry. She acts up. She smokes drugs in front of children.

6:38 is not Arowan behavior. So MJ's like, "Good for Goldessa for walking away so that she can diffuse a stressful situation." That's not She didn't Gigi did not walk away to diffuse the situation for the group. Gigi walked away to be dramatic so that way the cameras would follow her so she could be like, "I'm so mad right now." Okay. Like, let's not act like she's

7:00 She caused the stressful situation and then she left everybody else to deal with it while she smokes a blunt outside.

7:07 Yeah. And uh she's like, "Yeah, the old Gal Nessa would have hung around and smashed some bottles in your face." Um which is the problem with being people like Gigi. It's like, "Wow, she's doing so great. She didn't assault anybody." Wow guys.

7:21 I know. The standards are so low. Yeah. So, I have something on my nose. I say, "What was that?" It was like a crust. That's disgusting. So, um

7:31 uh I wish God sounds great. God, that sounds amazing. Yes. doesn't it? I did my bagels, so I'll have a bagel later. Okay, so anyway, we're back outside and Adam and Gigi are talking and she's like, "He [ __ ] deserves it." And he still doesn't even see it. Adam, he still doesn't see it. He's like, "But it's my birthday, though." Like, it's my birthday. You could have done this on some other day. Gigi, you're my best friend. Since when are Adam and Gigi best friends? He says that like 10 times in this episode. I'm supposed to believe that Adam is best friends with Gigi.

8:05 I know. Like where did this come from? And why is Adam's birthday so precious? This non-milestone birthday. He's like, I can't believe this disgusting guy showed up at my birthday. It's like, oh, you're talking about Reza? No, that's my husband. Oh, are you talking about any of the guys on the show? No, those are my best friends, too.

8:25 Are you talking about Dennis? Yes. So, they go back at the table. Dennis is like, I'm just very disappointed in my friend this evening, and you best be making this up. Okay. Where's the waiter? I want to talk to the waiter. I'm so upset right now. So Gigi and Adam come back and Gigi's like, "God bless weed, you guys, because it just makes you okay with everything. It doesn't make you want to kill anymore cuz that's my thing. I love to kill. I love knives. God bless marijuana."

8:53 Okay, so let me get this straight. Dad wants her out. The money train is going to stop. Dennis is rich and lives in an $8 million house. and he's her business partner, ex-husband, and she needs to move. And now he's here at Adam's birthday dinner. Math. Persian math. Okay, this is like Persian math and it's adding up. So Sky, who barely is caring about what's going on here, like me, she's like, you know, life is beautiful now, huh? You know, look, she's high. She comes back, she's high. Like nobody gives a [ __ ] Like, okay, that's fine.

9:31 You create a scene, you go, you get high, you come back. What are you going to do? Like, that's crazy. You can't even go to air1919 like that. And

9:37 it is true. And Sky, everyone acts like Sky is such a [ __ ] I mean, Sky is moody and stuff, but Sky is the only one calling [ __ ] like it is. Like, who are you people? This woman like does drugs at someone's house like where there's kids there. Then she brings some loser. She's on Only Fam. She's selling dildos. She's she's starting this whole thing at dinner. Then she just goes out and does more drugs. And then everyone's just like, "Okay, let's let's be mad at something else." Like, "Hello, is anybody focused?" Doesn't Gigi I feel like Gigi for years and years has reminded me of like the kid in the nerd group who like sort of does something like she's like like she learned about what like how to be a rebel. So, she acts like over the top as a rebel to all the fellow nerds, but she's not like inherently a rebel. Like I always feel that way. Like she's like it's drama club. She's the girl who's like I got a

10:28 joint. Yeah. And that's why I bring up the Yeah. And that's why I bring up the Only Fans thing. Like obviously I don't care if you do Only Fans and sell dildos. It's just so stupid because it's Gigi. And it's like of course Gigi. It's like of course she's going to do like whatever is going to make her edgy. Like I'm on Only Fans now. You guys have anything to say about it? Because that's what I do. And I don't care if you guys have a problem with it. I sell dildos with my face on them. That's just what I do. You got a problem with it? Smoke a blunt right now at dinner. It's like, "Oh god,

11:00 violent. Watch out. I love knives. It's going to be dangerous for everyone. I'm scary. Where's my leather jacket?"

11:09 It's like, "Okay, big rebel." Yeah. So, um, Reza is like, "Okay, I want to express my interpretation of Skye's feelings. I've been sitting here waiting for 45 minutes, and my husband wants dessert, and they haven't brought my wine. Who gives a [ __ ] about these two? I couldn't care less about their relationship. I said that all in Farsy, by the way. And everyone's laughing. They're like, "Yeah, I mean, basically."

11:34 And that's how the audience is feeling, too. Yeah, exactly. Bamsha's just like, "They're not bringing dessert. Where is it? What? What am I supposed to eat this gay cake? Come on. I don't need tabuli's dessert. Come on.

11:47 It's my tabul." So, now they go to a club. They go to some club and they're all dancing. They all look exhausted. They're like, "We're too old to be doing this, but the production wants us to do this." So, they're drinking. They're partying. Reza Jackson meets a girl named Courtney who's a cocktail waitress. And he gets her number and everything. And he's like, "We're in Palm Springs. I mean, the only single person at the establishment with us is Gessa who like, you know, she's like not hubbied up, but like she's has a man with her. So, I don't want to be like the 11th wheel, right? Okay. So, I think Courtney's sweet and she's cute and it's not a play to make Gigi jealous, but if it does, good.

12:27 Enough. Yeah, I don't really get this guy either, I have to say. I don't get the point of this guy. It's like he's bait for GG, but he's just he's kind of a non- entity really for being so cute. I'm surprised.

12:41 Yeah, he's not terrible. like he's not I'm not like I feel like sometimes these guys come on the show and I put on like a little cap and I'm like [ __ ] boy alert everyone and here's the reasons why they're a [ __ ] boy and I tried out the same tired reasons every single time. I mean how many times can everyone listen to me be like this is what they do. They say they love their mom. They say they're taking it too slow and and I have done that with this guy but like

13:03 it's not subtle either. You know, some of the guys like we actually think seem nice and so it's like, "No, they're a [ __ ] boy, guys. Trust us." But this guy's just like, "Yeah, I'm a [ __ ] boy. Who cares?" And he's also so close to being like retired out, you know what I mean?

13:18 He's about to like in LA terms like he's like so ready to be put out to pasture almost that it's like who cares, you know? It's just like watching someone

13:26 One time when I was a kid, I was drowning, but nobody believed me. So, cuz I was so close to the edge of the pool and they thought like I they're like, "Just grab the side of the pool." But I couldn't cuz I would I couldn't breathe. And I feel like that's like watching his um his fuckboyism. It's just like it's drowning, but nobody nobody's really willing to accept it. But I know.

13:47 Yeah, I see. I just don't know if I can care about a [ __ ] boy who looks so much like Christopher Waltz. I'm like,

13:52 it's just who's that Christopher Waltz? He's the actor who is in insufferable bastards. He's just sort of around. I'm like, it's Christopher Waltz with a beard on and I'm like, I don't know.

14:02 Oh, that guy. Christopher Waltz. I totally think Christopher Walt with a beard from Englorious Bastards.

14:10 Look him up with a beard. Look him up with a beard. What? It becomes Resa Jackson.

14:17 Well, I thought what I said was rude. You just really topped that one. Yeah, this guy's like a skinny Moses

14:24 with the beard. He's very handsome, though. Oh yeah, he's a handsome Austrian actor.

14:28 Yeah, he's a handsome. Um anyway, so um it's the next day in the kitchen. Tanine, by the way, all this time I've been calling her Tannon, but I notic that they were saying her name is

14:38 Tanim. Yeah, Tanin. Yeah, I'm so sorry, Tanin. You're one of my favorites and I don't even know how to say your name. Um so R.J. They're in the kitchen and Tanian's like, "You know, when you guys got married, was it more like a spontaneous let's do it or was it just like you guys didn't want to do that?" Cuz she's talking to Dennis and he's like, "Yeah, well, we went to Vegas for a birthday party and then like we were on the way to the airport and then we were going home and we're like, "Hey, you want to get married on the way home?" So, like we w up going to a drive-thru and then like I had a ring pop and that was like a candy ring pop that was like the ring and then the taxi driver was like our like officient. It was like really amazing.

15:15 So outside uh Gigi and Sky are talking and uh Skye's like, "So what's the story with you and this loud person?" And she's like, "You know, I was hoping that he would shift gears. Like he's just like finding every way to say I did nothing wrong." And like hearing you guys have the reaction like like it's not just me. It's like [ __ ] You know what I mean? Like thank god you guys were here to give a reaction so I could like see like it's not just me. It's not just in my [ __ ] head. Did you know I was going to literally go to a nearby military base at 29 Palms and drive a tank all the way down the highway to Palm Springs and then just drive over him and his stupid car cuz that's what I do when I'm angry. I get violent. And Skyy's like, "Okay, well, you know, you really have an issue expressing yourself, you know, cuz you get really crazy and angry and you lose it, but like not in a fun way, in a oh kind of

16:10 boring and sad way. You know, you should work on that." You know why? It's because I don't know how to express myself without fighting because I never learned. No one ever supported me to be sad. Like I was never allowed to be sad. Oh god. So now we get Gigi's monologue where she is just angry because you know no one supported her as a child. You are literally still being supported at 40ome years old ma'am.

16:39 So what she's saying is I wasn't When I would start to cry, my parents would do things to make me happy. And like, as a result, I don't know how to actually be sad. And that's their fault, which is why I can't have a job because part of getting a job is feeling sad. Like, what are you talking about? So, she realized that she had an issue, guys. Like, what really was her rock bottom was when she physically attacked Reza in 2016. And then we see we see 2016 her rushing Reza and then being held back and hitting Adam with the flowers or whatever and she's screaming [ __ ] you.

17:17 And by the way, by the end of this episode, she's physically assaulting somebody again. So

17:21 yeah, we're we're really seeing the whole uh Gigi's learned her lesson thing. Well, don't forget Adam's famous line. Ow. Gi G. And I've been through so much anger management and a lot of therapy and with Dennis I need to calm myself down, but the anger just creeps in. Skye's like, "Well, eventually you're going to be in trouble." And she's like, "I know 100%. And then I'll be in jail and I'll be running all the jail gangs cuz that's what I do cuz I'm so violent and angry I don't know how to cry." How has Golessa not being in been in jail? As of early 2026, Shaws of Sunset star Golessa has not been reported to be in jail, though she faced serious allegations and a restraining order in 2025. Oh, this is from Paulina. In March 2025, a former co-star Paulina Ben Cohen filed a restraining order against Gigi following an alleged physical altercation at a Los Angeles mall.

18:26 Oh, at the mall. Oh jeez. Beat her up. Oh, it's probably fashion square. You know the one on Woodman. You know that's that mall. That's that's that's a that's a GG.

18:36 Come for the valley. Okay, [ __ ] Meet me at KB store. KB Toys. So that's a meet me where Strand Books used to be.

18:50 Hot dog on a stick. You're going to be on a stick. Meet me there at 3 p.m. Meet me at the saddest Dairy Queen in town. Wait, is that Fashion Square? No, I think that's the Burbank one. Okay, never mind. Go ahead.

19:00 Yeah, so Reza is So Dennis, speaking of jail, Dennis is saying that he slept in jail because he was on like a couch and Reza is like, "Well, so I guess that Kessa is cool with him being here. So I guess I have to be nice to him now. And I just want to see her in a good place with him and where the money can flow and work their way back to being good friends because [ __ ] has a bad credit report." Uh, so Gigi comes in and just shrugs at Dennis like she has no idea why she's there even though she's the one that has infected this entire place with him. And so um MJ is making breakfast and um Gigi's like MJ's over here cooking breakfast for him like Martha [ __ ] Stewart and I'm worried. He thinks that everything's just swept under a rug and everything's hunky dory right now because it's not and we need to talk about it to rekindle this friendship.

19:52 So, there's breakfast tibuli. Is there really is there's breakfast [ __ ] tibuli? I cannot

19:58 can we normalize just like making breakfast does not make you Martha Stewart? Like MJ is cracked some eggs and put them in the pan and she's like she's like Martha Stewart over there. No, she's just making eggs. Can we just like not do this every single time? So, uh, she made

20:16 just like Mel from Mel's diner over there making eggs for him. Kiss my grits. That's what I say to Dennis. Kiss my grits.

20:26 RIP to Polly what's her face. So, how dare you? It's not my fault. My parents My parents never taught me to learn people's last names, especially character actresses from the late 70s and 80s. The reason why I'm so angry control my anger is because Ben doesn't know Polly Holiday and it makes me crazy.

20:51 I'm sorry that I don't celebrate that holiday [ __ ] So R.J. comes out in his underwear and I like him a lot better. I mean, the guy's

21:03 fine. The guy's so cute. He looks great. He is cute. He looks great and he knows it.

21:07 And if he just stayed in his underwear, I'd be fine with him. So, um, I think why I'm not like I don't get like fired up about R.J. that much is just like we said before, like it is what it is. He just and he doesn't he doesn't pretend to be anything but but that. I got like mad at him earlier in the season when he went on the date and then was saying that he was trying to be squirly and saying that it's he's not a [ __ ] boy. He's just promiscuous. And I was like, that's the one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. But now that he's just leaning into being a [ __ ] boy, I'm like, fine, just be the [ __ ] boy. Be a [ __ ] boy.

21:37 Yeah, we need [ __ ] boys. This economy doesn't run itself. He's hot. He's hot.

21:43 So, um Okay, so now MJ and Greg are talking about how they don't understand why they that why Amir and Natasha aren't with everyone because they could have just been at the why' they stay at a hotel? They could have just stayed at the house. I'm like, they're not staying at the house because they don't want their children to expose to be exposed to all of you guys for an entire evening. Okay. Little pool time in the afternoon is one thing, but like a 247 around this group. No, they're going to protect their children.

22:09 Yeah. We're worried about them. So MJ calls and they're like Greg goes, "We're worried about you. Where are you guys?" And Natasha's like, "Yeah, we have children." Okay, that's that's where we are. We're dealing with three [ __ ] children. what are you doing?

22:25 So then um Sky and Tan are talking. Tanine are talking and um you know Skye's asking if the communication between her and Greg is improving and Tanine says that she she there there's been some improvements aka a Porsche that arrived at her doorstep. Um and then she says, "Oh, by how's your communication with Bombshot?" And Skye's like, "Oh, you know, same [ __ ] every day. You know, we do communicate." But then again, at the end of it, I'm like, "I don't know. I'm not seeing any results." You know, it's like buying the same kale salad at atan and expecting a different dressing. You know what I'm saying?

23:00 It's like going to Whole Foods and expecting a quality salad from everyone. It's not going to happen. So, do it's like, well, what can you improve? Do can you improve something on your end? And she's like, well, I know exactly who I am and what I am, and sometimes I get to the point where I'm just like, I don't want to deal with it. So, are you saying that your expectations are too high? Yes. But is it my problem for high expectations or a person for being low and not reaching expectations? You decide. You decide. So, Tanine um enters a new piece of evidence to the case about why Sky [ __ ] sucks to her. She says, "Well, Skye's expectations are very high, and I think it can't be a one-way street, okay? Cuz on my birthday, they put my gifts in her car, and then she said, "Can you bring it?" I said, "Can you bring it over to my house before you go home?" And she goes, "No, I'm too tired." And I had to have an Uber go and

23:53 pick up my gifts. Just little things like that. You just don't really care about others and you know the way you want people to care about you. So she's saying that they they had a birthday party somewhere and Sky volunteered her car to be where the the presents could stay. And then Sky was like, "Now you got to come get them." Yeah. She's like, "I'm going home." I mean, maybe she would have brought them the next day. I don't know. But she was like, "No, you don't need your present right now. You get your present when I tell you you get your present. So

24:20 I I kind of think that if someone has been left as the steward of your presents, the nice thing would have been for Sky to bring them over to Tenine's house. But I think actually it might be a little bit more on Tenine to go get the presents because Sky is doing something nice by by um babysitting them.

24:39 I mean, I guess I I don't know. I I don't care. No, what you do is you make a brunch out of it. You say, "Let's meet for brunch." And then we'll

24:45 and then you make her pay because it's like another birthday brunch. Yeah. Right.

24:49 At Arowan. So let's meet at Arowan and then we'll do the exchange because then you you'll get her out of the house with that.

24:56 Yeah. So now um Gigi approaches Dennis for yet another talk. So, she's like, "For some reason, last night you were like a hamster on a wheel and you were constantly bringing up my past and like for all of those people that are here and they know me and they know I used to do crazy things, Dennis. They know I used to be crazy, but they don't ever hold those things on me because I'm just not that person anymore." Okay.

25:20 You're literally the same person that we met like 15 years ago, whenever it was that you first

25:25 You're holding an axe. You're holding an axe right now. Yeah. Dennith is like, "What? Were you not bad to me of the whole relationship treating me like shit?" Like, everyone was like, "Why is Gigi acting like that?" Because I don't know why you're trying to go off on me about me. You want to talk about something? Talk about yourself with him. Talk about yourself with Reza. He's like, "No, I'm trying to explain." He's like, "Stop bringing me up when I'm bringing you up about me. Don't do that." So then Gigi's like, "That was all a flashback. Sorry." But Gigi's like, "Is there The reason why I can't tell if it's a flashback is because Gigi is just she's talking about Dennis being on a hamster hamster wheel.

26:00 We're on like a freaking ferris wheel with you that's filled with hamster wheels in the seats." Okay.

26:05 Yeah. And she goes, "Is there a reason why you keep bringing up my past when we're trying to talk about what you did to me in the past?" And he's like, "Well, I'm not going to sit here and let everyone just try and badger me like I'm a bad guy." She goes, "Well, what were you expecting?" He's like, "Fairness. Fairness." He's like, "They were being fair." She's like, "No." He's like, "No, because that that because they weren't being they weren't because they don't know the whole story. So, how can it even be fair?" It was supposed to be that was He's like, "You may not remember, but we had to film the whole scene at a restaurant with floor tiles on the wall and we buried the hatchet and we said, "We're going to be friends and business partners now and we're never going to talk about this ever again." I believe those were your words and then you invited me out to Palm Springs and I thought we were going to

26:43 be a one big happy family again, but actually you put me on blast and you warned them and you let them still believe I'm a piece of [ __ ] So that's what I'm trying to say to you right now.

26:52 You literally dug up the hatchet and now you're holding it while we're trying to sit by a pool. She's like, "What is it they're not understanding that you want them to understand?" And he's like, "They're acknowledging you heard they I need them, you know, I was hurt after the divorce." And she's like, "But you're not speaking to for yourself to acknowledge anything you did." And he's like, "Yeah." She goes, "Why?"

27:11 Talking about that's so stupid. And it just goes on. It's like this circle cuz he's a total [ __ ] too. You know, he's like, "So what?" So I married someone you thought was your friend. I didn't think she was your friend. [ __ ] her. Like what are you even talking about? Like you were mean to me, so I got back at you. That's his whole thing. She's like, "How dare you? I don't." It just goes on.

27:30 You always think you're smarter than everyone in the room. Well, I know I'm smarter than you and more not sad able to be. And he's like, "Oh, you so you're smarter than me?" She's like, "Yes, I know I am. That's why I've accomplished so very, very little in my life." He's like, "Well, that's why I'm the successful one, and you have no career." And of course, Sky, Reza, and R.J. are watching from this from the pool, which means that Resa's like, "I'm going to put this in the bank and use it later." Yeah. And GG says, "You're successful.

27:59 What are you talking about? What are you even talking about?" about he lives in an $8 million house and like owns your business. That's probably what he's talking about. He's like, "You have no money. You've got no job." She's like, "You you are nothing." And he's like, "Oh, oh, so you're going to give me advice." She goes, "Okay, just get out of here then. I can't even deal with him right now. I can't even deal with him. I just said I'm smarter than him." So he pointed out that I've never had a job. Who does that? I just called him nothing. So now he's saying I'm not smart.

28:27 This guy's like, "What the fuck?" So then inside Dennis is um he he goes inside. He runs into MJ and he's like, "You know what? I'm on the way. I got to go. I'm I'm leaving. I'm leaving. Talk to you soon." And MJ's like, "Wait, what happened?" He cannot for one second just say yes. I might have done the wrong thing in response to me doing the wrong thing and I'm sorry about that.

28:46 But you're the one who invited him over and so the problem is you. Like I don't see what's wrong here.

28:53 Yes. She's like, "Well, I I" She's And Sky is like, "You're begging for trouble." And Gigi's like, "I don't disagree. My whole point in inviting Dennis was to rip off that awkward bandage with all my friends, but if we didn't have business between each other, because of course I'm going to get into business who I've with someone who I've declared is not successful, there would be no connection anymore. We still need to have space. And I feel like I made the wrong choice by asking him to come to Palm Springs." You think? Oh, you want a friendship in the business? Because I'm still confused in this department. Like, what are you talking about? She's like, "I wish I could have the friendship back, Skye."

29:28 You wish. I wish. You wish. I wish. I wish last things. You wish. I wish into the

29:41 into the tabuli we go. We go. So, in the driveway, Dennis and MJ are out there talking and he's like, "Ah, she wants to go like she's smarter than the whole room and she's always smarter than me." She's like, you know, I feel like I don't feel like maybe necessarily leaving all the way out of here is the best thing. I mean, we're shooting a show, so I don't know. You still got a mic. Like, I don't know. Go back out there. Do you want any?

30:08 He's like, I'm so Martha Stewart. What is this? Martha Stewart? He's like, I'm so mad. I'm gonna leave. You should really stay. Okay, I'll stay. I was like wow.

30:17 They really unwind. This is a They're doing a really bad This this is really has like the dramatic arc of the little skits I would make with my camcorder in like eighth grade. So, he's like, "Okay, then I'll stay. I just need to unwind, but if she tries to be Gigi with me again, not only am I not staying, but I just don't think I'll be able to do business with her. The stakes are higher than they've ever been in our story line." So, then

30:39 and Reza is like, "Well, that guy left, so I guess Gigi doesn't have anybody to stab, so I'll start some new shit." So he goes up to Tanine and he's like, "What were you and Sky talking about?" And she's like, "Well, it was more like about the two of them." And I said, "Don't you think you have high expectations for people?" You know, putting pressure on him with all these high expectations like calling a bartender when he's supposed to and stuff. I mean, that's really rough on a man. And he's like, "Well, the combo that needs to be had, which she's not having, which I'm really upset about.

31:08 Like, yo, you're like putting pressure on me. like I can't afford this lifestyle you want to live. Like what? Like what am I made out of money? Cuz like she dictates what's going on and he's like afraid of her. Like did you say anything about the dog about like supporting your brand? Because that was rough. Like that girl took her moisturizer and put it on a dog. Like are you upset at all? Like we're by a pool relaxing. You better yell at this [ __ ] Like literally [ __ ] are literally wearing your serum. like that is like literally so wrong.

31:44 You can't let that happen. So T's like, "Well, I mean, recipe hair care, bitch."

31:52 She's like, "Well, I haven't put my serum out yet, so you know, I'm I'm not going to start with that yet." She's, "Well, let's see what happens cuz you should definitely have that fight. And if you don't, then I'm going to have it for you." Well, my It's so funny cuz my friends sometimes say I look like a sky a scari catalog sometimes, which is true. It's actually crazy cuz I wear all her jewelry. Yeah. Because it speaks volumes about you though cuz she's competitive with you and she looks at you and you're like dripping in jewelry and you got like a COO title and your husband's doing like really well doing the whatever Greg does. I guess making man buns. Not sure about that. Okay. Bad point. Bad point. But she's jealous of you like so much. You should be mad at her.

32:33 Okay. Well, if I really don't see support, then maybe I'll blow up because like now it's built up far too long. But are you mad now? Did I do my job? Cuz I'd really love to eat some tabuli. Guys, Adam's going to make the tabuli later. Get excited.

32:49 So then we get a weird scene of MJ putting stuff on her face and just going like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah."

33:01 It's the little things we do together. Yeah. Yeah. Just so weird. Yes. So then um now R.J. is talking Resa Jackson if you will is talking to Greg and he's like how you feeling bro. He's like good. It was an intense night. I mean that medium right? That was crazy that medium. He's like yeah like in the beginning I was like whoa. And like yeah in the beginning I was like whoa I wonder what Amir has to say about that. So Amir joins them and we have this crosscutting conversation. Amir's talking to Greg and R.J. and Natasha's talking to Reza and uh and MJ about this medium. It's actually a pretty compelling situation because it is a thorny situation of like, hey, Amir never fell out of love with this guy like is with this girl. Is she is he still in love with her? But of course, Natasha's having this conversation in the gentle, thoughtful hands of Reza and MJ, which means

33:51 like seriously, do you feel like you're being cheated on with a dead person? Because

33:58 he's totally he invited us to a ghost wedding. That's like crazy. He said, "Would it be crazy if I asked my dead wife to like swing with my new wife and then he put ghost keys in a bowl?" He loves her. How do you

34:13 Have you ever noticed the way he like looks at you and is like, "Damn, I wish you was the other one." God. She's like, I I'm going to go back to my hotel room now. I'm I'm crushed. Because obviously [clears throat] this is your I'm imagine it's a huge insecurity in relationship. And they're like, "Wow, do you think he's still in love with her?" And she's like, "I was hoping not to talk about this on camera where my children might have to see this someday." So, uh, yeah, it's a little hard for me. Little hard.

34:41 Yeah. She's like, "Yeah, I mean, you can't just fall out of love with someone. It's not like she ever did anything, you know?" And, um, they're like, "Well, did you ask him about it? Why don't you ask him about it? Ask him if he still loves her." I mean, they're so vultury, you know? And so, meanwhile, Greg is asking Amir like, "Has Natasha ever asked if you're still in love with her?" Like I don't see the producers's fingerprints at all on this scene. You know, they're all doing the exact same thing at the exact same time. So air's like, "No, I mean I love her, but like I can't be in love with her cuz she's not here." But you know, the memory of her like that's part of me. God, I love talking about this again, guys. And back in back to Natasha, she's like, you know, I mean, they wanted this life that we have together, so of course it's really hard and this was hard to watch.

35:25 and she's crying and Amir is saying, you know, I do want to see how involved she wants to be because she's been very supportive, but you know, being supportive is not the same as being involved. So, I guess I should ask her if she wants No, she doesn't want to be more involved. What are you talking about? Don't you have three children with this woman? Why do you want Why do you want to bring this back in? Why do you want to bring this into the marriage? It shouldn't be like, "Hey, do you want to like mourn this by my side?"

35:52 I don't I don't know. I'm like, "Don't let this show ruin your marriage, please."

35:56 Yeah, I know. Cuz it's a very delicate situation. And I actually think it's a really fascinating dilemma in a relationship, but like it needs, I think, more care than um you know, drunk Resa being like, "So, what do you think?" So, now it's time to go race some cars fast. And Greg's excited. He's like, "I'm obsessed with cars. I'm at a racetrack once once a month at least. I mean, call me Tracy Chapman because I've got a fast car. Okay, let's do this." And Greg is uh I think no one wants to do this because he actually says I'm kind of forcing this down people's throats, but I'm going to convince them to drive a little fast and crazy because those courses are pretty safe for the most part, but you never know. I want to show them how fast I am and that I'm faster than all of them. I don't You know what I don't love is pretty safe for the most part. That's not

36:42 This is not a This is not a Ben activity for sure. Yeah, this is not We make fun of Adam, but I am Adam. Okay. Like I'm like, is it safe? Can we make sure we just don't go above 35 miles per hour, please?

36:56 So, they go to like the BMW racing center, which I didn't even know they had there. I've always wanted to go do one of that with those things. Um, and they're driving the M [clears throat] cars, which are like the sports cars. And so, anyway, back at the house, Gigi and Adam are talking and um she's talking about this [ __ ] guy again. And Adam's like, "Well, girl, but why'd you invite him then? Cuz people are trying to make him feel welcome cuz you invited him. You can't be mad at us for making him feel welcome. I mean, you surprised him on us actually on my birthday.

37:28 It's like, well, I messed up. I thought, you know, it was it's going to be Dennis and like once he comes around, it's going to be water under the bridge. He's like, no, it's like it's like water. It's not water under the bridge. It's like water over the bridge and it's it's scary water and it's it's washing away all the tibuli. I don't want the water anymore. Gigi. Ow. Gigi, the water. Okay, Adam. That's a theoretical. Relax. You're safe. Okay.

37:53 Dennis did my friend dirty, so therefore I don't like him. But she's my best friend. And whatever she says to do, I'm going to do it. But at the same time, she lights fires and burns and walks away. And I kind of feel like that's what she's doing right now on my birthday. So

38:11 I'm violent. I'm violent. Keep going, Adam. You can do it. Girl, interrupted. girl comma interrupted. So he's like, "You need to find boundaries." And uh she's like, "Yeah, I can seem confusing because like he was my Oh god, I just don't I don't care. I'm fast forwarding." I'm like literally I would rather watch the guys crash an M car than listen to Gigi for one more second. So we go back to the racetrack and um Tonine's like, "Yeah, I don't mind going to a racetrack. I mean, my car pass my car accident, I was a passenger, so I just don't trust the person driving, but I'm okay being in the driver's seat. You know, I'm ready for a new trauma.

38:51 Yeah. Um, I love that this is that somehow Greg never his takeaway was never, you know, driving fast is really bad. That's he he he didn't take anything from that accident.

39:02 Also, why do you have to go to Palm Springs to drive like this? You can just go to Glendale.

39:05 Just watch go just stand boulevard. It's basically NASCAR there or the 170 freeway like you know people who live here know people who live here know like this is like the moment like you you step foot into Glendale it's like it's like there's a whole bunch of cars street racing.

39:25 That's so funny. I'm going there after this street race. Ow. GG. Oh to Brand Boulevard. That's my favorite HomeGoods.

39:33 Oh yeah. I wish I could join you and I got to go before the weekend hits cuz people are monsters on the weekend. And it's like, oh god, you see all the drags out there. It's like, can't go home.

39:43 It's too late. It's going to take you an hour to get there. It's two right now. It's 2:15 on a Friday. You're going to have to take the 134 from the valley.

39:50 You're right. Sorry, Ronnie. But then I could go to the Apple store and be like, can I try a pencil? Hm. Could you show me any shortcuts?

39:56 My 64th pencil. Actually, I thought about getting an Apple pencil. I was like, I'm going to do

40:00 You don't have one? Oh, yeah. You got to have an Apple pencil. Oh, so we're shaming now. I was never taught how to hold a pencil by my parents.

40:09 I was never taught to cry with an Apple Pencil. So, no, I don't like anyone. They race. [snorts] They drive like idiots.

40:16 R.J. crashes into Ben's Apple Pencil dreams and almost dies. Everyone acts like they're totally scared

40:23 and um and it's fine. By the way, it's fine. They promoted this. This is a big thing. They're they're having an accident. This is no glam dunes. Okay. the car just goes off the track a little bit and um everyone goes to save them and um you know I I really appreciated Bombshaw driving conservatively. He's just because this happens to someone anytime they go racing like this on Bravo. There's always someone who gets the music and just enjoying it. He's like nice car I like it. Oh, what's the multimedia like? See here he's like connecting his phone during the using the Bluetooth. He's like, "hm, let's see." Oh, car play. Good. Good. So far, so good.

41:07 Um, [clears throat] so, uh, car accident and it's not great and but everything's fine. Everyone's fine and everyone's safe. So, let's go back to the house. So, Gigi is facetiming her son, which is moderately

41:22 I was going to say moderately more entertaining, but maybe not. And then the pool, everyone's by back by the pool. And Gigi is like, "Guys, I would love some feedback about something very important. Earlier, the whole situation with Dennis, I just or Adam, you I said that I just wanted space right now." And I don't know why Dennis has a room where he goes in to shower and changes. And now he's being invited to dinner when you say go get ready. I mean, he's like, "Okay." And I don't do go to the racetracks cuz he's there. And I think after I was yelled at this morning, I can't even look at his face right now.

41:55 and he gets to be part of our dinner that I invited him to. And I have to sit there and [ __ ] and his face and he's sulking and like it's just getting worse and worse and it's getting deeper and deeper. Like girl, you invited this guy on this vacation and now you're upset that he's here. I I I'm like,

42:12 girl, this man is last night's tabuli done. I'm telling him he can leave and you can enjoy your weekend with your friends, Gigi, cuz we're best friends. So, I'm going to go confront him. And Baham Shaw is like, "I've got your back. Listen, I'm reinvigorated by the Bluetooth ability of the BMW. Let's go."

42:32 So she's like, "Oh my god, so beautiful. Such good friends." So they go in and Bombshot's like, "I can handle this." And so they go in and um Adam's like, "I'm so disappointed in Gigi. She has me do her dirty work and she's the one who invited him on my birthday, but she still needs someone to have her back, so I'm going to do it. She's my ride or die. And he's like, "It's like if she were to commit a murder and needed help with the body, I'd be like, "Before you go with that body, take this tibuli." Res is like, "You heard it here first, folks.

43:05 If I go missing, look for him and that [ __ ] cuz [ __ ] be burying bodies together."

43:10 So, Adam is somehow mad. She came to me and said that she murdered somebody, I would say, "I'll help you, but can you find someone else to carry him?"

43:19 And then she gave me the shovel and I go, "Ow, Gigi, that was heavy. Um, Adam is like mad that he has to do her dirty work. Like, you don't have to do any of this, by the way, cuz it's all so stupid. But he goes in to Dennis is in a room and Adam sort of like gets on the bed on his knees. He's like, "Hey, Adam. Um, I hate being the bearer of bad news, but we are out of Tibuli and the next batch won't be ready for another 15 minutes. So, in the meantime, did you happen to get a hotel before you came out?" He's like, "Uh, it's fine. I'm going. I really don't care. like you guys either say you want me to be here or don't. I don't care at all. So he's like, I'm out. Bye. Bombshot's like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Thank you for understanding. I don't want it to end like this. Do you know how to bartend? Okay.

44:04 I could call you maybe in the future, last minute, but you come. Yes. GG. I did you a solid. Are you serious? Oh, I'm happy I ripped the band-aid off when it came to the whole group. You didn't rip the band-aid off. You gouged the cut. You caused the cuts.

44:24 So the festering she's like, "Make sure he's gone. Please go to the door." And she's like, "I'm going to stick my head out the door." But he doesn't even open the door. It's like two weeks. So he just You just see Adam looking out the window. He's like, "Is he leaving?" And you see the car move off. She's just like, "Goodbye, Felicia. Goodbye."

44:43 As they said in the film Thursday, "Goodbye, Felicia." Um, so Courtney arrives. It's not time for dinner. There's going to be some steaks, which by the way look beautiful. Beautiful steaks. And Sky complains about it later. And I'm like, Sky, I think you're wrong on this one. They look like good steaks. So, um, there's there Gigi's lining up to smoke. She's like, "It's dinner time. I need to. It's so stressful. I never learned how to be sad. So, I must smoke a marijuana joint here because I'm bad. I'm bad girl.

45:15 Bad girl. GG. So Rez is like, I'm going to set the table. So he goes out and he's putting forks and he's which side does the fork go on, guys. The forks be [ __ ] be crazy. Like force be nuts. These are like white people forks.

45:33 And Tanine comes over and she's like, "Please do it right." Okay. Because No, not Tan Sky. She's like, "Fork is on the left side, knife is on your right. Do it right. If you're doing it, do it right, baby. Please." He's like, "What?" She goes, "Can you please make sure it's lined up with your chair? Don't do a messy job if you're going to do it. Come on." He's like, "Why are you giving me [ __ ] I was not a waitress like you. So maybe I don't know exactly where utensils go." Because I still haven't seen baby Shams. And Shams was supposed to teach me about place settings.

46:04 Just come and say, "Let me help you. You're not my supervisor." Meanwhile, Reza, I guarantee, would be the person if someone was not setting up a table, right? He'd be like, "Bitch, what are you doing? That's not even how it goes. Fork on the left, spoon on the right. That's so Persian.

46:17 Yeah. A, did you just shame somebody for being a waiter? Cuz you can go [ __ ] yourself,

46:22 you failed ass hair product, [ __ ] And second, um, this is typical Reza. Like, I'm mad at somebody, so I'm going to just take a normal thing that happens over the course of the night and spin it into something terrible so I can slam at them at dinner. Yeah.

46:39 Flatwear fight. So, um, now that dinner is served, they all sit down. Adam's like, I brought the taboo. Guys, I just want to say something. I'm so appreciative for everyone being here and I wanted to take this moment to apologize to everyone here. I made a very rash decision decision on inviting Dennis because I'm violent and to come without I invite him to come without consulting or informing anyone. And it was very selfish and very personal and I have my parents to blame because they never taught me how to be sad. And I'm very appreciative of you guys for being honest with me about it. So, cheers everyone. Cheers.

47:14 Wow. GG. I would have hated for you guys to make it a meal without you making it about yourself from the very [ __ ] start of the meal. I mean, Jesus. So, now um everyone's like, "Hey, Greg, thanks for cooking the steaks." And Skye's like, "Oh, I mean, it's chewy. It's chewy steak." You know, maybe it's from Aeron, but it's still chewy. It's still chewy.

47:34 Oh my god. Spending this time I'm spending with Sky in Palm Springs. I'm starting to grit. It's starting to grate on my nerves. It's like, is she complaining? She's like, is this organic, [ __ ] Like, is this thing from Arowan? How about era? What are you talking about, [ __ ] And Bombsh goes, it's from Whole Foods. She's like, "Yes, grass-fed, but very chewy. Why do you come off so condescending? Like, she's stuck up. She's pretentious. Like, you would think she's a member of the Persian family."

48:04 Royal family even. You're right. She is a member of the Persian family. Regular style.

48:14 Regular style. The Valley Persian style. Regular style family. So GG I just like that she's like this is chewy and bombsh they don't know better.

48:28 It's food. So Gigi is and I like that whole food somehow has become like the peasant food. Like oh my god

48:34 it's so funny. So Gigi Gigi's like, "Guys, Adam's Tibulli in my opinion." And Adam goes, "World famous." Uh, you let her say, "You're not supposed to be the one to say world famous." Like, "My world famous tabuli. It's only world famous because you are pushing out on us. The world doesn't know any better at this point. The world only knows Adam Tabuli."

48:56 She's like, "Guys, I think this is Airwan worthy. So, you know, Sky, you know Airwan inside and out." She goes, "I know everybody in Awan. I know the owner. I know the manager, every location, everything about everybody in Air1.

49:10 I know. That means she's complained a lot. I know all the managers. Can I speak to the manager? Yeah. Who's in charge of the fish counter? I need to speak with him.

49:20 Why are you out of Haley Haley Bieber smoothie? I come here every day. Who's this Haley Bieber?

49:28 So G's like, "What the [ __ ] You don't think it's overpriced groceries?" And she goes, "I don't care. The quality of their food, the fresh food they make every day is so amazing. Air1 air for president." And RJ's like, "Um, I shop at Ralph." So, I mean, like, I mean, Whole Foods, if I'm feeling like really extra, but I draw the line at Awan. And Natasha's like, "Uh, yeah, like it's a box of strawberries at Whole Foods are only $8." Which is also hilarious, acting like, "Wow, I paid $6 for a lemon at Whole Foods and that's a bargain." But now you go

50:02 I know pay $30 for strawberries. Like you can just really get so much bang for your buck at Whole Foods famously. It's like you the hole in Whole Foods stands for a whole lot of savings.

50:15 Who considers that a status flex like a yacht? That's like a status flex like a private jet. Like but one a grocery store. Reza is like, "Okay, we're going to look at a $2 million house. So, can you ease up on the shopping? Okay, [ __ ] You can't be paying for a $2 million house if you're paying for $20 strawberries." This guy is like, "No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not giving up arrowan. Okay, I just need to spend 30 minutes a day being around people who don't drive me nuts and pretending like I don't live in the valley. Let me have that."

50:53 And Bombshot's like, "What about the house? You know, if it's just on me right now, it's not a good time. It's not the right time. I'm just saying this. She I want a bigger house a little bit, but you know, not in the valley. In the valley, not in the valley. Oh, you have an aversion to the valley now. Which I just put the words in your mouth even though you weren't going to say them at the table and now I'm going to yell at you for it. True or false? You have an aversion to the valley. Yeah. I don't like to live in the valley. I don't like the food. I don't like the vibe. And Greg is like, "Oh, oh, like that talk. Oh, oh, I don't want to live in the valley." Like, get the [ __ ] out of here, bro. Because Greg is now the great the valley defender. Greg, who is like, like, no offense. I know I go hard on the valley, but I do it with tongue and cheek, but like Greg, I'm like, I'm not going to look at Greg and be like,

51:41 "Look at this guy. Look at what the valley has produced. Don't you want to stay here?" She's like, "I'm not rubbing it in anyone's face." You're like, "I hate restaurants in the valley. The food is disgusting. The Valley, it's all bad. That's what you're saying. And Gigi stands up and she starts yelling, "Bro, we're on a TV show called The [ __ ] Valley. You don't even live in the Valley. What are you talking about? We worked so hard to get back on TV and you're about to ruin it for us." This guy's like, "So what? If we sell this house, we can live anywhere. Any like literally anywhere. Please just put me in the ocean at this point. Just not the valley." And Greg's like, [gasps] "Well, can you do that right now? Sell the house and go move away from the most beautiful place in the world world called the valley, home of the man buns and fast driving. I don't think so." And Sky's like, "Go ahead, Bum. Tell me.

52:34 Tell me." He goes, "I don't think it's the right move." And Greg's like, "Oh, okay. So, you guys get on the same page and stop fronting, bro, because you don't have another choice, honey. Like, you don't have another choice." Greg, sit the [ __ ] down. And what are you yelling at a woman and calling her honey at a table? What the [ __ ] And Rez is like, "Oh my god." Like literally, you would think that you grew up with like Ricky Ricky from Silver Spoons dick in your mouth. Like what the hell? And like a trust fund or something.

53:04 It's like I'm not snobby at all. And goes, "What?" And then he and then he stands up and he stands around and he he does this performative laugh. He runs in a circle. He goes,

53:16 [screaming] like, "Is there a breakin?" Oh my god, he's so obnoxious. Like, how are you guys turning me on Skye's team? Like, I'm 100% on Skye's team. Like, a lot of people don't want to I live in the valley. I like the valley. A lot of people don't like the valley. Who cares? It's not like it's the first time you've heard it if you live in LA. There's like a huge It's a conversation, you know? A lot of people just don't like it. That's it. I tell people I live in the valley. They're like, "Really?" I'm like, "Yeah, I like it." Like,

53:51 I mean, but you know, isn't it hotter there? The food kind of sucks, right? I mean, they'll tell you right to your face. It's a normal thing. Leave the woman alone.

54:00 I'll do it right now. I mean, look, there's really nothing more fun than Not you, Ben. Not you. Not you.

54:07 But, but like The Valley has all sorts of awesome stuff in it. Like, it's it's always kind of just like a funny thing. It's like it's like sports teams, you know, when you're like teasing. But like of course the valley is perfectly fine and nice. Um don't want to live there ever in my life. But like I think that like it's just it's just a it's the funny jostling that you do. But like Greg is so mad. It's like he's he's furious right now. This guy is like, "No, I don't you know like I don't want to do I don't want to live there, you know, like oh my god, girl girl, why why would you do that?" And they're just like so mad. And this guy like I don't do things for people for what they think, okay? I do it for what I want.

54:45 And Raz, so you wear Hermes sandals and Hermes, not for the look. And Bombshell's like, she does it for herself.

54:52 Yes, I do it for myself. So my best friend is sitting there right there. She knows that about me, right, Tan? And Tonnie is not answering. And Re is like, "Oh, really? Well, what did you do when your friend pulled out her serum?" Because she showed you her serum. Do you remember that? What did you do with that? And Tonnie Tunny's like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on, hold on, Reza." Cuz he's gonna

55:14 take everything she said and stab her in the back right now. And Sky is like, "What? What? Wait, wait, wait, wait. You talk to me about the serum, then you talk to me about it." And he goes, "You put it on your skin." Well, at first, and then I rubbed it on my dogs after my skin started burning off. You rubbed it on your dog? Well, my dog is basically like the arowan of dogs. So, it's a fabulous place for anything to be really so lucky to be featured in Arowan. So, oh, so you think that's a good look? She's like, yes, he's perfect. Oh, perfect. I'm just going to repeat what you say. And Skye's like, the fact that my that my best friend goes gossip about it with Reza. They weren't there. Like, they don't know exactly what's going on. It's very disappointing and very out of character, but so Valley. Oh, yeah. Well, she's wearing your jewelry. Do you think it's cool to rub [ __ ] on your dog? Do you

56:05 think what if she rubbed your jewelry on a dog? What would that be? Oh, big fight. And Tonnie's like, "Okay, calm down, Rosa." She goes, "Oh, really? Oh, really, Tan? Have you ever paid for my pieces?" And she goes, "Yeah." She goes, "Oh, retail price ever?" Well,

56:22 lady, you make your own jewelry and you set your retail price at whatever god- aful price you're going to try and screw people out of, first of all. And so she's like, "Oh, stop. You pay retail." And she's like, "No, but I paid for them." And she's like, "100%." And she goes, "Well, I get a friend discount, but like what's your point?" "Oh, friend discount. Oh, the same amount that everyone else get. Oh, the lines around the block for my jewels." Huh?

56:46 Yeah. You're not Harry Winston here. She's not buying your jewelry because she's like, "I must have it." She's buying it to support it so that way it's on her body and she can go advertise it. Like she's acting like the the favor is that she gave the discount. And it is a favor, but the real favor is ten for actually spending the money. Okay. The 30 that the 30% savings does not compare to the 70% payment. That was

57:08 I gave you a discount on a watch what crap insert. How dare you. So she's like, "What's the point?" And um she's like, "I'm confused. Are you saying I'm not supportive?" And and um she's like, "Because it sounds like you're doing me a favor." And so Tanine tells us like listen like there's pieces of jaw on my floor on the floor here like after every single piece I bought from her thousands and thousands of dollars worth and she's like I don't even want to say the number because it's obnoxious but then for her to act like oh wow I gave you such a discount like that's disgusting right so um this guy's like why you all of a sudden so you being such an [ __ ] and aggressive Greg he's like I'm not well I don't understand that because you're pretentious and I don't like that.

57:52 That's not how we act in the valley. She's like, "Well, I already told you I really couldn't care about what other people think." He goes, "Well, you're offending me by saying I don't want to live in the valley. It's offensive to me. That's why." She's like, "Well, why?" "Because you live in the valley." Goes, "Yeah, I was born and raised in the valley." Victory Boulevard, baby. [gasps] Yeah. In between a Costco and a Marshalls. That's where I was born and raised. So, don't

58:13 Magnolia is not just a Tom Cruz movie, honey. And she's like, "Well, I don't want to live in the valley."

58:20 You want to talk about Sherman Way? Now we're talking about Greg's way. All right, I see your way out of here. Helmsley isn't the only Sherman on my television, lady. And Greg's like, "It seems like you're better than people that live in the valley. Don't you get it?" Listen, Greg, you need to change your [ __ ] tone. You are sitting at a dinner table talking to your friend's wife like that. Shut the [ __ ] up. And Bombshot's not saying anything, by the way. Nothing. I would kick his ass if I was his wife. What the [ __ ] And Russ is like, "Yeah, Bombshod's not defending his wife because he feels the same way except he's in the [ __ ] doghouse and he can't say [ __ ] to her, so he's still letting everyone else do his dirty work." So then Gigi inserts herself and goes, "Sky, maybe it's the delivery."

59:05 And Greg is like, "Am I wrong about what I'm saying here?" And no, not at all. You can't say the valley is great, but just you can say the valley's great, but it's just not for me. It's just like not for me. just the way Ben said it on Watch where crapins and she's like, "I've said it so many times. I have nothing against the valley." She goes, "I don't need to be yelled at. I love the valley." Oh god, Gigi. Like the men are sitting here yelling at her at the table and now she's just going to make it about herself and act like in

59:35 Yes. She's going to make it sound like Sky yelled at her. Oh my god. So Skye's like, "Perfect. Perfect. You love the valley. Good for you." And she Oh, really? Good for you. Don't be condescending to me. Good for you. Really? No. I I really want you to finish so that I can move on. Go ahead. I really Go ahead. Say something. Oh, really? Good for you. Good for you. I can pop. Be careful. I was in a street gang once. It was scary. Scary for people. We'd find old ladies walking on the street and we'd hustle them for for a nickel or a quarter every now and then, and we'd have lunch money. So be careful because you might not have those quarters on you very soon.

1:00:14 I'm gonna pop, bro. And Russ is like, bro, like I'm setting the [ __ ] table and she's saying, do it right. Like no one talks to me like that. And I get my [ __ ] Oh my god, you guys are like teaming up on this. Like, oh my god,

1:00:30 we're microaggressions. And Sky goes, you need to shut the [ __ ] up, number one. And Gigi's like, oh. And so now Gigi gets up and she comes up behind Sky who's sitting down and starts pulling her chair. She goes, "Oh, can I pull your chair so you can walk away because you need to walk away, bro, because I wasn't raising my voice until you're so this woman now."

1:00:57 Yeah. And Scott, and this is, by the way, I love this because um it reminded me of Kenya Moore and Kim Fields with a chair. And then uh Gigi's like, "Walk away." Okay. And I'm like, "No, no, no. Stop. No. GG. Ow. GT. No. Ow. GG."

1:01:13 So, this guy is walking. She says, "If you think I'm like Dennis or somebody, you're a piece of [ __ ] Cuz I will drop you like the napkin that I clean my nose with, okay? Cuz you are piece of [ __ ] and your soul beneath me." By the way, I don't clean my nose with arowan napkins. Too nice. Too nice for that.

1:01:30 And then she does like the look like she's wiping her nose and throws the Kleenex and turns and walks away. I was like, "You go." Yes. Great casting. Not being terrified of Gigi for one [ __ ] or Reza. Just being like, "Fuck all of you idiots." You know, so she walks away and Adam's like, "Sky, don't ever call my friend a piece of [ __ ]

1:01:50 Shut up, Adam. Then don't be friends with Gigi." [ __ ] Adam. Oh. And she goes, "Oh, you shut up, but I will." And then she holds her nose and looks at Gigi and then walks in.

1:02:04 We did the trailer break breakdown for this uh in the fall or in December, whenever it was and we were I I loved this. They showed this this line and I loved it her saying like the tissue I blow my nose with. I was like, "Oh, perfect." And it was just as good when it happened in real time. And I think that like

1:02:21 I love this Skywoman. She's so she's so mean, but it's exactly what this cast needs.

1:02:25 I love it, too. Look, I think she's an [ __ ] I mean, but which is not it's like they're like ganging up, you know? I don't like when they do that. And I don't like the men screaming at the women. And I don't like Gigi like coming up trying to like physically get aggressive with somebody. It's so gross. So, I'm team Sky. I hope she just wipes the floor with all I'm not on her team as far as it goes with Tanine because I think she went too low with Tanine when she didn't really know what was going on. But Tanine was has been talking about [ __ ] about her behind her back, literally to us and to everyone else.

1:02:57 But yeah, but but like it's like Tanin's infractions with gossiping I don't think compare to um um Skye's infractions as like a friend who like takes too much. So like for sure I think you know Sky is not like perfect. It's not like yes queen icon everything she does is right. But I just think that when it comes to Gigi and when it comes to like some of this other stuff

1:03:19 and Reza too because she didn't do anything to Reza, you know, Reza's making like this huge case against her like she's been terror and Reza's leading this whole thing at dinner and this whole storyline. It's just like gross. Go for one of the men, you know.

1:03:33 Yeah. Let GG this other stuff. We What a fun what a fun way to end the week. Um, we'll be back on Monday with a whole new batch of recaps and a week's worth of fun to be had. Yes, everybody, thanks for being here. We'll talk to you next time. We love you guys. Bye

1:03:50 bye.
