😎 Summer House Finale + 🌆 Into the City Premiere Recap — Goodbye Summer House, Hello Headlines

A chaotic, opinion-heavy recap of the Summer House finale and the Into the City premiere with Amy Phillips and Deanna Cheng. They obsess over the “breathtaking” Hamptons-to-city transition and calling out how produced Kyle and Amanda’s separation scenes felt. They laugh at Kyle’s nonstop Loverboy branding, connect his tears to both business stress and a collapsing marriage, and side-eye the Amanda/West headlines—especially Amanda’s defensive “how dare you” energy and the suspicious hug Ciara walks in on. They roast West’s slippery mixed signals (while Ciara is all-in), cheer Jesse for clocking him, and celebrate the surprisingly calm, healing Lindsay/Carl closure convo. They also gasp at the Danielle/Carl hand-job reveal, enjoy Lindsay reading Kenny in a bar “panel,” and close out excited for more Into the City and the upcoming reunion.

Speaker 1: Drama, Darling Drama, Darling Drama, Darling.

Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Oh my gosh, here we are. I

can't believe it. I am your jury bitch, just reporting

for another duty, a civic duty of talking about Summer

House Finale into the City with another bish whom I

love so much, Deanna Chang.

Speaker 3: What a night of television.

Speaker 2: I am so excited to discuss this, and we do

have some things to talk about now, as you know,

I've been really locked into my jury duty. And so

again I'm just gonna have to say ahead of time

as we move into this recap, because I don't have

these two episodes on lock the way I normally do

when I watch these things. I'm just lucky that I

was even able to consume any piece of these two

episodes because of the schedule between last night and today.

So here and there, I might have some holes, but

you know what, We're gonna have a lot of fun.

Speaker 3: So my god, some fun.

Speaker 2: Let's do it. Let's welcome ourselves in. Yeah, welcome in.

Welcome into Summer House Finale and then into the premiere

in the City, which was giving me Beverly Hills into

vander Pump Rules.

Speaker 3: Justice Go back to your history. Now you have to

remind you, say, what we've been here before, we're here again.

But it feels fresh. Yeah, gorgeous California transition, Oh.

Speaker 2: My god, gorgeous Hampton's. Gorgeous California. And from Hampton's into

this city. I knew what was coming. I want to

say this. I don't typically peek back the curtain. Every

once in a while we go, hey, that's Oz back there.

That's a man. You know, that's a man back there.

But and he doesn't have any powers. But you know,

I want to say this. When they were saying they're

goodbyes to the summerhouse and we see Amanda and Kyle

and they're the two like kind of sticking around, you know,

it's all planned. It was planned for them to sit

down on the stoop and say I am going to

move out. He knew that that was happening. He knew

what he was going to hear. They just had to

kind of reenact it. And I'm sorry to say that,

but they did. And that's how these things were. And

not only that, but the scene on the beach was

Sierra and Kyle and he said, did demand to say

something about separating and she said, yeah, he probably already

had been separated. You know, I'm just saying, look, it's

still real, and it's okay if they produce little things

like this because it helps us get the show on

the road. But what at the end of the day,

they're getting separated and then they're moving on to show

the dissolution of their marriage on another show. I mean,

it's a great way to move in from one thing

to the other. Not to say that they weren't going

to say they weren't going to end it, not to

say they weren't going to end it, but just that

they're going to be working on it.

Speaker 3: That's all because I think that they could have done

in the City with them together.

Speaker 2: Yes, oh yeah, but their marriage wasn't in a good

place anyway, so it had to be the hook. I mean,

I think they made it the hook, I guess is

what I'm trying to say. They didn't have to do too.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 3: I think they thought this so I could accept that

that conversation was real on the beach, and they then

the producers are like, Okay, this is actually good for

in the City, because this is a way to keep

people interested in weel show them still trying to work

on things, and they were like, we got to get

them on the stoop.

Speaker 2: We got to get him on the stupid man is like,

what I'm gonna wear is like something that's summer, that

goes from summer into fall. So I'm gonna wear like

a bralette and jeans, but not fool jeans because that's

gonna be too I'm gonna be too hot because it's

still summer. But at the end of the summer, some

holy jeans holes. And then I'm gonna throw a little

brown leather jacket probably you know, faux over, so it's

kind of fall esque. And I'm gonna wear a sandal,

so you're getting summer into fall right there on that stoop.

Kyle just you know, when he turns around and is like,

thank you for drinking lover Boy, or thank you for

drinking with us, I'm just dead. Like everywhere you look

in Kyle's even most earnest and like authentic moments, he

is branding. He is branding, branding, always be branding. But

I love it.

Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no whorry way out but through. I mean,

I watched a whole business post on lover Boy and

the situation Jason Tarnick, who is a former Bachelor person

but also is like he comes from the world of

finance and is very successful. Had him on recently, so

I got the real like lay of the land and cool.

He truly was up Shit's Creek before.

Speaker 2: Thank God. It's unbelievable how this turned out for Amanda.

It's un yeah real, Actually, Kyle, no wonder he's being

so nice to her now. I mean he should be

because this saved his ass, and you know that's all

he cares about in the end. Clearly Kyle only cares

about his business. Not to say that his heart wasn't broken,

but that's where his priority has always been. When you

said it right here on Drama Darling, he is for

the night.

Speaker 3: Oh yeah he is. Well, he is for the night.

He's for the nighties, for the drink.

Speaker 2: And he's for the business. So it's like he was

never going to prioritize having babies with Amanda, uh and

moving to the suburbs or what have you. It's just

never going to happen.

Speaker 3: But yes, I also thought that this episode. I had

the thought because Kyle is very broken up and has

been the last couple of episodes we're seeing him crying,

you know, real tears about his marriage breaking up, and

I'm like, huh, this seems like a surprise to you

just in general, like you seem to the steemson have

been sprung on you a bit and we're that surprised.

But I also really had a deep realization this between

this and In the City that it's the combination of him,

like lover Boy went from which I learned on the podcast,

like thirty three full time employees to three, you know

five he put five hundred thousand dollars of his own

money in. Yeah, So I just really understood that it's

the combination of his of lover Boy being a huge

success and his marriage failing at the same exact moment.

That is why he's in.

Speaker 2: Tears, absolutely, and he should be. I would be too.

It's a nightmare and he's drinking through it, so good

for him. So but you know, he can deal with

that later, I suppose. But the gleam in his eye

now it shows through like they're all out at this

In the City premiere the other night, like in real time,

what what?

Speaker 3: No, gleam is just making me laugh, like gleam, Like

he's you know, is like he can't help but gleam

because it's a y No, it's it's coming up. But

he's coming up, roses he.

Speaker 2: He sure is.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 2: They So it's the in the City premiere, and they're

all there, including Amanda, and they're showing like clips online

with everyone in front of the step and repeat, smiling

the whole cast, and it's Lindsey and Kyle on the

front and they're just like loving life and they're the

stars of the show. Amanda is you know, five risers back,

you know what I mean, Like, just yeah, the kid

in the class that does not want to be in

the photo hiding, and she took pictures of Kyle. I

got a hand it to her, impressed that she even

showed up. Apparently she said she barely even made it.

She didn't want to go. And Kyle, he's so funny.

He didn't like a home video on social media that

was like, guys, of course I took a picture with Amanda.

Now she almost didn't show up tonight. Just give her

a fucking break, you know. He was just like kind

of like get a life sort of thing. But he's like,

we're all adults. We're shown up from a premiere Amanda's here,

so he was giving trying to give her some grace

and also, you know, sort of sticking up for her,

which is such a funny angle to take, but it's

because he's just so happy about the business.

Speaker 3: You know. He's like, thank by the way, thank you,

you know, yes, Amanda, thanks babe, thank you, because you

really really did your big one. This is a patriarchal

society and they are gonna get me together with some

lover boy sales and I just couldn't be happier. So

thank you so much, you know, yes, indeed, say thank you.

Speaker 2: Well in the city, we're going to kind of talk

about it's just going to be a real potpoury if

you will. We're going to go where this takes us.

That's right, But that I just want to talk about

that transition a little more because it was just such

a beautiful thing. I mean, I really want to get

in there and I want to say breaths taking. Yeah,

it was certainly. Because then they got off that stoop

and they both went into individual cars. They had said

I never thought I'd be leaving the summerhouse. Kyle's like,

I never thought I'd be leaving the summerhouse and driving

by myself. He gets into one car, she's in the other,

and they both have their own camera person all by themselves,

and I was like, look, who is a star? We

have two stars here. Then they're looking out at the

window at the skyline, and sure enough they go on

their merry way. Oh she's going to go stay in

a hotel, blah blah blah. So a little bit of

a rewind back into that foyer of the summer house. Okay,

it's so emotional. It's never been that emotional. I know

that you're like, this is my world. But you know,

when they leave that summerhouse, it's like, see in the city.

Speaker 3: Was asking me, My husband was asking me. He's like,

cry this much, and I'm like, I don't believe they do.

Speaker 2: You answered correctly, And you know what I'm thinking. I'm

thinking several things. One, I think they all knew that

that house was going to be sold, because it's up

for sale now, so they knew they were never coming

back to that house, which is why Amanda's like, bye house.

Speaker 3: It's hard.

Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's emotional. Then Kyle and Amanda, who are

clearly going to begin to dissolve even though they're both

saying like, let's work on it, let's go to therapy,

and we know it's done.

Speaker 3: Now that's not going well.

Speaker 2: We know it's not going well. It's just emotional for everybody.

So and they're going to be starting this new show,

and so everyone knows that the second that everyone else

leaves the house, they're going to do this big scene

for a new show. That's a big deal.

Speaker 3: Wow, that is a big deal.

Speaker 2: It is no, it is a big deal.

Speaker 3: Is It's like it's on their shoulders, like guys.

Speaker 2: Yeah, And they have to be immediately vulnerable and immediately

emotional about their entire marriage and so easy. That's why

it's like when Amanda and Sierra were like holding each

other's hands and they were very emotional, and it's I

think that was part of it. Well. Oh, by the way,

the way that in the City starts with the the

present time of the headlines of Amanda and best being together.

Oh my god, I can't believe they picked up there.

So they're sitting there talking and it is out there

and Kyle knows and Amanda's there and he's like, Amanda,

you're so skinny, and she's like, I'm worried about me too,

people are coming after me. Then he's like, don't get

it twisted. I'm trying to protect you, but it's not

because I want to. I'm trying to get back with you.

And I appreciated that, clearly. I did too.

Speaker 3: I also appreciated that he was trying to get his

hands around receipts, timelines.

Speaker 1: You know.

Speaker 2: He was like, yeah, we're.

Speaker 3: All trying to get He was like, could we just talk?

And she was like, how dare you?

Speaker 2: Oh? I would never know. That's that's the kiss of death.

That's a lie. You know, it's a lie when someone

says like, I'm offended that you would even ask that,

you know what I mean? Like that immediately tells me

you're guilty. You did it, Yeah you did it because.

Speaker 3: You would just say I cause you would say, like,

it's understandable that you would have questions about the timeline,

right right, this is the situation.

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not the time to be defensive. It's the

time to say I'm completely you know, I'm owning what

I'm doing, what I did, I totally understand this is

this is the truth. And I don't blame you for

being mad or for questioning. You can question me a

million times over and I will keep telling you, but

to say, how dare you the That was gross. It

was really gross because you really just see the victim

mentality that she has. Yeah, it's like always about her.

And I usually don't sit here in my little judgy

chair and just be like, oh my god, they're playing

the victim. They're playing the victim, so victimy. I just

don't like throwing that label on someone over and over again,

especially right now when she's just so beat up upon.

I don't even want to like come down so hard.

But when you see that, it's so yeah, it's so

plain as day, and you can see.

Speaker 3: She's using it. She's using it with Sierra and Mia,

she's using it with Kyle, and it's just it. It

can really cover up so much, and so it works

for her. It is a It really is working for her,

she thinks, and it's hard. It's not pleasant to watch.

It's not it's really really not. No, but let's discuss that.

Oh my god, when Sierra was holding Amanda's face, it

was so breathtaking. Talk about like, in minutes before that,

we have Sierra coming upon this. Okay, deep embrace. Okay

with Amanda, Well, I mean, Wes, I'll give him this.

The guy knows how to deliver a hug. He gives

a hug that I would like to experience and I

don't have you know what I mean. But it is

a full, full body You're gonna get your head crazy,

You're going in you know, there's something very, very enveloping

about his hugs. So he was given an enveloped hug

to Amanda. In plain sight, I'm just saying, it's a

tool in his It's a tool, a nasty tool, shed nasty.

But also he's giving these hugs to women who want them.

It's not I you know what I'm saying. He they well,

but they're being received. They're emotional. And this is where

he's so good at being who he is, which is

Slippery's f is that he can deliver what feels like

real emotion and concern and care and love in a hug.

But that's and he did it with he's been it's

here the last few days, you know, show the episodes,

and he's definitely done it to Amanda, you know, and

you're just going like wow, you know, there's a lot

of a lot going on in that hug. Bud and

so Thera come stumbles upon it and they look caught.

Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, that was Amanda's face, like someone will somebody,

she would have to tell me a very good excuse

or another reason as to why she made that face

for me to actually consider it is absolutely possible that

she was something like something he said to her. Look,

I'm I'm all about the of the doubt, but that

looked I mean, that.

Speaker 3: Was There's nothing to bet, there's no that was what

it was, which is they're getting off their emotional end

of summer.

Speaker 2: But but let me ask you this.

Speaker 3: Put this up. We're gonna pick this up outside, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2: Okay, but but but West has given Amanda plenty of

hugs in front of Sierra and and in front of everybody.

You know what I'm saying. He's not afraid to give

those hugs in front of people. He practically mounted her

in front of Kyle like he doesn't care who's around.

So I guess when.

Speaker 3: That she does things in plant sight, so are you.

Speaker 2: But do you think that it doesn't seem like me?

It doesn't seem like Amanda minds either, So that's why, of.

Speaker 3: Course you don't mind. She loves it.

Speaker 2: So that's why I'm saying, why would she all of

a sudden be worried she got caught because she's she's

hiding it. Oh that's my point.

Speaker 3: I think there's a difference. And I've experienced that before,

where it's like you're you're doing something that's you shouldn't

be doing and you're welcoming it. You love it, but

you shouldn't be doing it. And then someone who he

just made out with the night before.

Speaker 2: That, Wait, did does Amanda know that yet?

Speaker 3: I I don't know. I'm sure she does. She seems

to know it all when he was like and Kyle,

she was like a Weston right when she was giving

yeah yeah.

Speaker 2: But I just thought that they were right because Amanda

made that face like and she clapped. But I couldn't

figure out if she knew that they made out or

if she was just happy that they made up.

Speaker 3: Lindsay was positioning that as like their the romances who

have that have blossomed from our our crew here this summer,

And I think that at this point, now that we're

at the end of the season, I know we've we've

gone back and forth. Did it start with at this point.

For me, For me, I am clear they have been

using Sierra as a pick, you know, as a shield,

because Amanda needs to keep this from Kyle more than

she needs to make sure her friend is okay.

Speaker 2: Oh lord, oh help us.

Speaker 3: Sierra is the pawn, and I think Amanda is like

so honestly lame at this. She has no legs to

stand on. She can't stay to West, what do you

mean you made out with Sierra? Like she can't she's married,

you know, So she just accepts this unconditional love from Sierra.

Unconditional love, oh support, That's the best friendship love we've

ever seen. It's beautiful Sierra and Mia who are hyping

her up, getting her sorted, just pushing love and positivity

and like coaching into her so she can go and

live her best life. Yes, few, while that's not to

say she doesn't care for them at all, but she

cares about herself.

Speaker 2: Most Yeah. And West, so you said you have a

resolved in your head. They have been intimate at this point.

Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it almost doesn't matter, like have ad sex

have at the had sex? I don't know if the

pen and the vagina have have you know, gone in

and out, but they are in.

Speaker 2: Thank you for thank you for putting it that way.

I do appreciate that. Also, my daughter, it's just so funny.

Speaker 3: My daughter her did she ask about it?

Speaker 2: Well, she said, now she calls because she knows what

a penis is, okay, and because like whatever, but you

get the idea, you know something, you puld his pants

down at some point. This happened a long time. Yeah,

and you know she has friends who have little brothers

that run around. Okay, So but now she thinks it's funny.

So she calls it a pen and a vine. I

didn't know that a vine. I'm like dying and dying

a pen and a vine, and she thinks. She just laughs,

and I'm just like I'm dying laughing. Okay.

Speaker 3: So anyway, that is pean and bean is great work.

Speaker 2: To take it to van I know, to take it

to the vanie get it killed me? It killed me.

I was like, this is my daughter, okay. I love

my self care routine, which is why I want the

best of the best, especially when it comes to my razors.

I don't want irritation that'll get me irritated. I don't

want redness, and I certainly don't want ingrowans and no

happy no more razors that feel flimsy and cheap. And

of a time when you could have used therapy. Think

of a time when you were in a real pickle,

maybe a breakup, maybe a burnout, crash out, major anxiety stress.

Well you get where I'm going with this. But you

wanted a therapist, and you wanted it right then, but

you found it impossible to find a therapist online who

took your insurance. Well, you know, affordable and accessible mental

health care shouldn't be out of reach, but too often

it is. Have you ever used your insurance to cover

your physical health, so why shouldn't it also cover your

mental health? Rula makes sure it does. I love therapy,

you know I do, and there are a lot of

online therapy platforms that actually fall short. Many don't work

with insurance at all, which means you're stuck paying the

full cost out of pocket. No one likes out of

pocket or paying for an expensive monthly subscription. RULA does

things differently. They partner with over one one hundred insurance plans,

making the average cope just fifteen dollars per session. That's

real therapy from licensed professionals at a price that actually

makes sense. Ruler knows that finding the right therapists can

make all the different. RULA considers your goals, preferences, and

background to provide you a curated list of licensed in

network therapists who are actually aligned with what you need.

No weightlists, no frustrating back and forth. Ruler makes it

It really doesn't matter. Although I will say I do

not think that they have put Peen and Veen because

I don't think they'd be able to move this freely

about the cabin. I think they'd be even sneakier, whereas,

like you said, plain sight, plain sight, and they don't

care about anybody else, and it gives West so much

more justification for doing whatever he wants to do. So

so she's caught, basically is what we're saying. She's caught.

If there's another explanation.

Speaker 3: Saw, I don't think she cared.

Speaker 2: I think she's on cloud nine. She didn't make anything

of it because she trusts Amanda unconditional heartedly. She would

never think and she knows how West is with you know,

like that's how it is in the summerhouse with them.

She wouldn't think twice.

Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I've seen some tiktoks where they've slowed down,

like her looking over at things, and I'm like, I

don't she might have thought Wace, But I don't think

she would have put it on Amanda, Like, if anything,

I think she's putting things on West, you know, like, God,

he's such a flirt.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if she's thinking, Oh, I bet they're

talking about me because something happened. So I bet you

West is like, I'm I wonder what he's saying. Yeah. Yeah.

So now when they're outside and Sierra and West, who

end up making out in this situation when he's made

it pretty clear he doesn't want to do that, doesn't

he say to Sabrina, like stop pushing me? Yeah?

Speaker 3: He told Ben, like listen, if Sierra's around, just tell

her to cool it, like stop trying to push us

into relationship. I mean, he has said it, but he

hasn't said it to Sierra. It's a sandwich of and

we don't need to move too fast. But like you know,

it's it's always mixed up, so you can't parse it out.

We can at the point because we're aware that he's

saying it.

Speaker 2: He wants to just get all of his bases covered

because he wants to have the best of everything, and

he wants to have everybody under his thumb. It's just

so disappointing when you see Sierra, like when they kiss,

because we were worried about this this whole time. We

knew it was coming, and we see it lead up

to this with her emotions and how he's acting towards her,

and she's so excited and she's so happy, and then

they are up in his room and then Jesse's in there,

and it's just like, we're what are you guys going

to do with this situation? Did Wes try to pull

her onto the bed? Is that what I saw he did?

Speaker 3: And she bowed out gracefully.

Speaker 2: Thank God, Thank you, Thank the heavens, Thank the Hampton's heavens.

Speaker 3: Thank you Hampton's Heavens, because that really would have been

a bridge too far for all of our hearts and

our souls. You know. So they got their kissing. Okay,

I feel like she can still manage. Although I'm sure

they probably did hook up afterwards. I can't. It's so upsetting.

Speaker 2: Oh you go, but Jesse.

Speaker 3: Jesse was great, like he really said, you know, are

you going to make where? What are you doing here?

You got to make sure you're all in, buddy, And he's.

Speaker 2: Like, your statement to Jesse, like sings a song. He's like,

you got to make sure you all in Jesse says.

Jesse says, you got to make sure you're all in West.

Speaker 3: That's just like, yes, excellent advice.

Speaker 2: I'll take it. Yeah, I won't take it, but yes, yes, yeah, Okay,

let's talk about Lindsay and Carl. I've been waiting for

this all season.

Speaker 3: I My thought on it, amy was like, Okay, sometimes

time does do amazing things. And these two people were

not able to have this conversation before this moment.

Speaker 2: I have to tell you, I knew they would. I

knew they would get to this point. I just knew

it because of who they are. I knew that Lindsay

would be able to like eventually get over it and

make the best of it at some point because she's strong.

She's a strong freaking person. And I knew Carl would

do whatever it took. You know, he's a great guy.

It seems like she didn't feel like she had any closure.

I get it. I would have probably felt like that too,

And since you're on a show together, and she made

a point that was wild, right.

Speaker 3: It's so weird. It's so like, God bless these people,

and it's not for the week.

Speaker 2: They needed to close it up, and some they just did.

I mean, they have to.

Speaker 3: But when I was so impressed with with both of them,

Carl and Lindsey were so present in that conversation. They

were both listening at one hundred percent. Neither of them

were defensive.

Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

Speaker 3: It was so good and healing and like, wow.

Speaker 2: It truly was. It just goes to show that they've

done some work on their own and they showed up

and they showed out what that means. I'm just glad.

I'm happy for them. I'm happy that she could get

a little bit of closure too, and him as well.

Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what was said other than she

said I thought, but at some point you would have

had a conversation with me and like apologized for how

crazy everything went down. And you know, it's nice when

you get to the point where you are not angry anymore,

that it can be that simple. We don't have to

rehash the why and the who and the what and

you did this and I did this and that's what

we got there and this is your fault and you

you know, it doesn't have to be that. It could

just be like I really wish at some point you

pulled me aside for a conversation. And I know I'm

a scary person to have a conversation with, but I

wish you had done that that I didn't need that,

you know, And he could say, like, yes, you're right,

I should have done that, And these are all the

reasons that you, you know, were an amazing person to me.

Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, that was amazing. He was thanking her,

he apologized to her. I loved it for both of

them because they have They've made a big difference in

each other's lives, even though they're not meant to be together.

It's like it was a great journey that they had

until it exploded.

Speaker 3: And it's funny because you and I were obsessed with

that Sharon interaction, you know, like I could, for me

best best moment of the season, you know, just truly

seeing Sharon, you know, just shoulder her way through the crowd,

rustling through, rustling through, yeah, the people to the side

to try to get to her almost daughter in law.

Speaker 2: She needed one of those things that you a weed

whacker or like a like a machete or whatever. She

need a machete to get through that that soft bar

crowd and.

Speaker 3: Then to see you know, I couldn't get over. I

mean I texted you I think after after we watched,

after the podcast, I was still thinking about it. I'm like,

because like he is built differently. Yeah, she just shut

down an elder like yeah oof ufa ufa loofa she.

You know, it did make more sense after the fact,

how when you found out how close they were, and

you know, Lindsay doesn't have a relationship with her mother,

and yes, she was like a mother figure. And now

it does make a lot more sense why she, yes,

acted in that way. But I'm glad she brought it

up me too, And I didn't realize that this mother

was sort of celebrating, as she said, like dancing on

the grave of the end of our relationship in Mexico,

you know what I mean.

Speaker 2: That's that's best.

Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of smart. You know.

Speaker 2: That makes you wonder, like why did she go over there?

You know, but yeah, because like she knows.

Speaker 3: I mean, I think the lady wanted to give her,

which is what I couldn't get over. I think she

wanted to see congratulations on the birth of your daughter.

Like I just think she wanted to say that.

Speaker 2: She should have brought a gift, you know, if a

gift would have been nice, or maybe she sent one.

Maybe she did send was giving a gift in a

softbar probably isn't the thing to do. That's not right.

But I think saying it is a good step, and

maybe the gift will come after. We will Lindsay do

with that gift. She'll probably it'll be like her bunny. Yeah,

she'll give it back to Lisa Renna, She'll give it

to Lisa. Lisa's what am I going to do with this?

How come I keep getting baby gifts back? Oh? But

you know, we have two other things that we need

to talk about with Summer House. One is what in

the world Danielle giving Carl a hand job after they

broke up? What are we talking about here?

Speaker 3: Did you know, like, okay, No, I didn't know to

have those words as a grown up. You know, Danielle

said she was like thirty seven. You know, she's like

her own woman. And to just have on your first

episode of your new show, you've been off for a minute,

the reveal that you gave your friend's ex fiance a

handy in the back of a car. Is just tough stuff.

Speaker 2: She's always on a high horse when it comes to Lindsay.

She always has and so for her to do this,

it's like insane. Anyway, I didn't know that, but you

know it hearkens back to I remember in the Summerhouse

an episode when Danielle she said something like he was

so upset. I was like, I don't know, what do

you want me to do? Y, I'll give you a

hand job? Will that make you feel better? And I

don't know if that's who she was talking about or

if she's talking about someone else else, but she did

say that in the Summerhouse. I'll never forget that.

Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll stick. So that's quite a.

Speaker 2: I wonder quite like the Darlings remember what I'm talking about?

And also, Darlings, this is new information, right. It felt like.

Speaker 3: To me in terms of Lindsay's journey with her friend,

that she sort of had a minute with Danielle off

the show and maybe she learned about like I don't

know who told her that Carl and Danielle, you know,

hooked up, but it seemed like she needed a little

distance from this girl to sort of think and start

putting all the pieces together. To say like, Okay, wait

a minute, I don't think you have my back.

Speaker 1: You know.

Speaker 3: It seemed like sometimes you need a little distance.

Speaker 2: To get a.

Speaker 3: Real view of what's going on.

Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 3: I don't think Danielle has it. She doesn't seem to

know what the problem is.

Speaker 2: I don't know how she could show up and and

address Lindsay like, let's go to lunch. Is this.

Speaker 3: I think that she knows. She may not know Lindsay knows.

Is that possible?

Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, absolutely? Just having Danielle on the new show

and having that friction there is wild, Kyle and Amanda Wild.

These new couples. Now, there's one that stood out to us.

You had mentioned their names. Don't remember who they are.

Speaker 3: Kenny and Whitney.

Speaker 2: Okay, so that's the gal from the Bachelor. Yes, okay,

she's on the Bachelor. And Kenny is an investor in

lover Boy, which I thought was interesting and I like

them going through some of the stats, you know, Kyle's like,

my investors are there getting twenty five times their money back?

Like that was, oh my god.

Speaker 3: We're not there, you know, well, men, maybe we're there now,

who knows.

Speaker 2: I just can't believe he promised those numbers, Like who

was doing that Outlook, that's nuts.

Speaker 3: Was it promised or was it like projected?

Speaker 2: I think it was projected on numbers projected, so they're

looking yeah, but you know what they're probably basing numbers on,

like skinny girl, Like, you can't that is a phenomenon.

You cannot go with those types of numbers. Whatever numbers

he was going with were not the correct numbers he

should have gone with, like pick any, like Cynthia Bailey's

new tequila, you know that would have been better, which

hasn't even launched yet, but the.

Speaker 3: Point crazier, Yeah, like those lower level Yeah. But anyway,

it was interesting to see like an investor of lover

Boy that was with us and and he is such

a guy that lives in the city and is the

money guy and smooth and you know, I just just

hated his his.

Speaker 2: Vibe.

Speaker 3: I enjoyed him on the show. I just hated that

this sweet girl seems to have schlept her happy ass

into the city to be with him, because he was

in every which way, shape or form saying there's no

way this will work out, Like he was like, it's

not an option.

Speaker 2: I don't even understand like how he would even come

to that conclusion knowing you know, he crunches numbers all

the time, so he's so he's already crunched the numbers

on this relationship and yet still made an investment. That's

what's interesting. It's almost like he's seeing his whole life

as an investment. He's like this one probably I'll probably

lose money on this, but I'm gonna go with it anyway,

just you know, just a wild card. Also, by the way,

he's from Michigan, so shout out Michigan. And I love

the scene in that bar when there was like literally

a panel of people and she was standing there and

then when she came up, they're like, no, go away,

go away because we're.

Speaker 3: Discussing, and you said, oh yeah, I'm sorry, no go ahead.

Speaker 2: But one friend that was there was.

Speaker 3: One friend in the panel who said to him because

he said he had some grief and death and he

was like, what stage of grief as fuck boy, which

I just enjoyed. I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 2: That was good. That's good, that's good. And I just

really enjoyed Lindsey just like getting her like her fangs

out and just barking at this guy in a bar

just for the hell of it and just just sitting

in the middle and just running the show. I loved it.

And she's like this poor girl, and she just went

on and on. I'm happy to always see those types

of things because she already sees the writing on the wall.

Speaker 3: Yeah, there was no lives detected, Like she's a one

thousand percent right and you know this is the kind

of guy who needs that talking to and that It's

just it's very satisfying. I liked it very very much.

I liked it very very much. I was like, go Lindsey,

get them get them together. Yeah, yeah, like love it.

Sure so yeah, high marks for in the city. We'll

we'll get into all the other characters next week. But

and I can't believe that the reunion is coming. The

reunion is one week away. Got this is almost there.

Everything Amy. I did really say out loud when Amanda's

when they went for their four year anniversary date where

she said I'm leaving you.

Speaker 2: I did.

Speaker 3: I did say out loud. She was like, this is

not you know, we can then still go out get drinks,

you know, I want a date again. And I was

like with West. With West, I just like screamed it

at the EV that's true, you do want to date again,

but not.

Speaker 2: With that guy. Oh my god, you're so right. Oh

my god, that's so funny. It just hit me. I

know now, I know what you're saying. When she was like,

it's just me moving out, it doesn't mean that we're

not going to like, you know, I want to just date.

Speaker 3: Yes, you do?

Speaker 1: You do?

Speaker 3: So that is so funny. That's what you want to do.

You want to date?

Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and you know correct. I really saw you know,

that did diffuse him, and that was her intent, you know,

to diffuse him and then kind of string him along.

But when that those people next to them were like, oh,

you're celebrating, you know, your anniversarial stuff. And Kyle was

like no bumps, you know something like that. It made

me laugh so hard and I said to myself, see,

he he's so funny and charming, and that's why you know,

she was attracted him because he was the cool, funny guy.

And that's what West is again, that's why she's head

and over there anyway, West Head and West, Well, what

an Episode's? What what an episode? And what an episode? Two?

Great Epps.

Speaker 3: Are you into the city, are you like feeling it?

And where are you so far?

Speaker 2: Yeah? Me too.

Speaker 1: Yeah.

Speaker 2: I liked you.

Speaker 3: I like being Lindsay's apartment. I like being easy, like

I just I thought, I'm happy to be here.

somewhat interesting, so it'll be yeah, be good. All right,
