Speaker 1: Hey, I do part two. It's your celebrity mentor, Kelly Benzema. And I'm so excited because my new show, The Golden Life on E!, is now streaming on Hulu. We are going to be recapping episodes here on the pod. And who better to kick it off than my very dear friend, Sutton. We love you, Sutton, from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Sutton, my girl. I know.
00:00:46
Speaker 2: I'm just so excited to see your face.
00:00:49
Speaker 1: I know.
00:00:49
Speaker 2: Me too. All right.
00:00:51
Speaker 1: What did you think of the episode? The first episode of The Golden Life. Come on. Okay.
00:00:55
Speaker 3: First of all, I've got to tell you, I watched it with my friend and COO, Josh.
00:01:03
Speaker 2: And I go, is this what people do?
00:01:07
Speaker 3: Like, do they sit and watch reality and like laugh and comment on outfits and say, what are they doing? He's like, yes, Sutton, this is normal.
00:01:20
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my God, this is what they do to me. So I thought it was so good.
00:01:25
Speaker 3: I got completely like wrapped in Within like the first 10 minutes.
00:01:30
Speaker 1: I love that.
00:01:32
Speaker 2: No, I did. I was like, you know, because I know y'all.
00:01:35
Speaker 1: Right.
00:01:36
Speaker 3: And I haven't seen Sonia in so long. So I was happy to like see.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Her in my bedroom. Yes. In your bedroom.
00:01:44
Speaker 3: And, you know, I always love seeing you. And I see Lou a lot. And Dorinda, like it was just fun to watch y'all.
00:01:51
Speaker 1: I know, it's just so funny to see, it's just like me watching you. I'm like, oh, my son.
00:01:56
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is going on? Yeah.
00:01:58
Speaker 1: So, okay, so you were having these like weird moments where you're like, wait, I'm actually watching my friends. What was it like seeing the New York ladies on the screen together? I mean, we're back. I know.
00:02:10
Speaker 2: So here's the other part.
00:02:12
Speaker 3: I did not watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Like I would every now and then, but I wasn't like a super fan.
00:02:20
Speaker 2: I didn't watch it a lot. I watched New York. Right.
00:02:25
Speaker 3: That was like my show that I watched because, you know, I love New York and I always wanted to be there.
00:02:30
Speaker 2: So it kind of took me back, you know? Right. So like I.
00:02:35
Speaker 1: Well, and you spend a lot of time here. So you're like the ballet, all the places that you go, you're worth, we're at the same places that you went. So. Yeah.
00:02:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:02:44
Speaker 3: And, and, and I lived there a long time, so I wanted to always, it felt like I was still living there watching y'all.
00:02:52
Speaker 2: On the Housewives of New York.
00:02:54
Speaker 3: So to see y'all together again was a bit surreal in, you know, Palm Beach. I mean, why are they wearing, like, why are they wearing floral dresses?
00:03:10
Speaker 1: What is going on?
00:03:12
Speaker 2: Where are the taxis? Where are the dark lit bars? Like, what is going on?
00:03:21
Speaker 1: Where's all the noise?
00:03:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, where's all the noise? Where are the small apartments? It was so different. But y'all are the same.
00:03:32
Speaker 1: What did you think of Ramona's fashion sense and her rules? No one wears black.
00:03:39
Speaker 2: Ramona looks good.
00:03:41
Speaker 1: Hello. She looks beautiful.
00:03:44
Speaker 2: She looks good.
00:03:45
Speaker 1: But she's got rules.
00:03:47
Speaker 2: Does she really?
00:03:47
Speaker 1: Is that for real? Well, I was just at a birthday party and she has all of these very wealthy friends and they have rules. And so I think she does have rules.
00:04:00
Speaker 2: I don't understand that. I have a lot of wealthy friends. They don't have rules.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: Well, these women do though.
00:04:07
Speaker 2: That's weird.
00:04:07
Speaker 1: They like celebrate in a different way. They have lunches in a different way.
00:04:12
Speaker 2: They have too much time on their hands.
00:04:14
Speaker 1: I mean, these are like, there's like 70 women at a time. We're talking a lunch of like 50 to 70. We're not talking like you and I.
00:04:24
Speaker 3: I can't do rules like that. I've lived in LA too long, but also I get it. Like I've never had a.
00:04:29
Speaker 2: Problem with dressing.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: Right. It's actually beautiful. I mean, I literally, I mean, I wore so much pink and I love pink, but I'm like, oh my God, I'm wearing so much pink.
00:04:41
Speaker 2: I'm Southern. So I, you know, I've never let go of that kind of, I guess, girly dressing. Yeah.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Well, that's what was nice is every single lunch that we went to, that all the ladies were really well-dressed. So it just aesthetically, it's very pleasing to my eye.
00:04:59
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's pretty there.
00:05:01
Speaker 1: It's pretty.
00:05:02
Speaker 2: It's so pretty.
00:05:03
Speaker 1: So pretty.
00:05:05
Speaker 2: There was one drive down a beautiful street.
00:05:08
Speaker 3: I think it was Luann and Dorinda. And the houses are so beautiful.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: Gorgeous.
00:05:18
Speaker 2: And, you know, the weather's so pretty. I mean, how do you complain?
00:05:24
Speaker 1: You don't complain. But it, so we literally.
00:05:27
Speaker 2: Besides Mar-a-Lago or whatever that place is called. You can complain about that. But otherwise, is that what it's called? Mar-a-Lago?
00:05:34
Speaker 1: So basically, we basically start the episode with we've left New York. And we're on our way to Florida to see like, is this going to be part of our chapter two? Right.
00:05:49
Speaker 2: Lou has Giovanni bag in hand.
00:05:51
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm Karen Hermes. I don't know about you. I love Giovanni, but it's so good. I know. But it is really, it's so fun watching them like get off the plane and everything. I was like laughing. I was already there. So we're, so we're all there. It's Dorinda. Ramona, Sonia, and Luann and I. And it's our golden years in Palm Beach. Oh, and that's me. I'm the opener with my cartwheels. I can't even do a cartwheel anymore, which is absolutely.
00:06:23
Speaker 2: Girl, you need to stop that. I was like, stop, Kelly, stop.
00:06:27
Speaker 1: I know, but I got to get back into that. I got to start. I got to like, I can be, I can do a cartwheel. I believe you. But in our confessional, Sonia's like, by the way, big T, I'm sober. Yeah.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: That, that was short lived.
00:06:43
Speaker 1: Dorinda wants to reestablish her relationships with her friends. I haven't seen the ladies in a long time and I am just so in a forward velocity or emotion. And Luann is on tour all over the world and she just needs some time off. Simple. I got the girls of the Perkins together. And I was going to be in there. And I thought to myself, if I was in the same complex, it would be like, I don't know, like Melrose Place.
00:07:13
Speaker 2: Melrose Place, yes.
00:07:14
Speaker 3: I know.
00:07:16
Speaker 2: Damn.
00:07:17
Speaker 1: But you know me, I'm a fixer. So I need to have like an interesting vibe that needs some love. You know how I roll. I can't be like, oh, this is all easy. It always has to be complicated for me. Yeah.
00:07:28
Speaker 2: No, you got to like do.
00:07:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to do. So they're in the same building together. And Sonya has her own apartment that she bought. Ramona bought an apartment there after COVID. And I'm down there in this house that I'm like, I'm going to redo. Luann Ramona and Sonia, they meet at Ramona's apartment, which is so cute.
00:07:51
Speaker 2: So cute.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: So cute. So pretty. So clean. And Ramona shares that Sonia's a recluse and that she only, she doesn't leave her house for like 12 days at a time. And I know that for a fact.
00:08:07
Speaker 2: I'm with her on this one.
00:08:11
Speaker 1: She's a Sagittarius. So she's on and then she's off.
00:08:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:08:16
Speaker 1: I'm a Taurus. I'm like, let's hug all the time.
00:08:20
Speaker 2: I'm Sag rising. So I have that in me. Yeah.
00:08:24
Speaker 1: She just, and she can, she can just stay in her room. No harm, no foul. Doesn't even see, hear nothing.
00:08:34
Speaker 3: Was she like that in New York as well? It seemed like she was always bebopping around in New York.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Well, because I didn't live with her. So I never saw her that I never had her say that before because I didn't know. I think in the townhouse, her daughter was there. So, I mean, you know, the kids have been out of the house like only a couple of years.
00:08:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:08:56
Speaker 1: You know, because of all the kids graduated from college. So they were home and now they're not.
00:09:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:09:03
Speaker 1: You know, I mean.
00:09:04
Speaker 2: Yeah. I do know.
00:09:06
Speaker 1: I mean, you have one little rabbit still home, but we know most of us.
00:09:09
Speaker 2: No, he's not home.
00:09:10
Speaker 1: Well, he's home-ish.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: Right.
00:09:12
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. But everybody else is like their kids have graduated from college. So, okay. So Sonia tells us that she's a recluse. She says, I wasn't there. And that she's still mad at Dorinda for excluding her from inviting her to Bluestone Manor for a filming. So Dorinda, so they're all like, well, why don't you spend some time with Dorinda and see what happens? It was a decade ago. I don't know what happened, but maybe like Dorinda could just be real about it and just be like, Hey, this is what happened. Like, I don't really know what happened because I wasn't there. I wasn't filming at the time.
00:09:51
Speaker 2: You weren't in that. Okay.
00:09:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:09:52
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I don't know, but she's usually a straight shooter.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: She is a straight shooter. but she also, Sonia is, you know, she was taking care of her daughter by herself. So she was like that 150,000 or whatever it was meant a lot to me. What happened? And I think Dorinda should just say, you know, I know that affected you. I know that you needed the money at the time to make sure that your daughter was safe and healthy and well. And it wasn't a decision of mine. Like, just say it. Just because nobody knows what happened. I mean, I understand, like, let the past be in the past and that's fine. But you and I are like, tell me what happened.
00:10:37
Speaker 2: Just tell me.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: Tell me.
00:10:39
Speaker 2: Get it over with. Yeah, just tell me. It's going to hurt. But I got to know.
00:10:44
Speaker 1: Yeah. Right. Was it your decision? Was it someone else's decision? Just so you know, because I think.
00:10:53
Speaker 2: Give her peace of mind. Is that what she's after?
00:10:58
Speaker 1: Saying that like it was in the past does not give peace of mind. That is just being dismissive. Like if you ask me a question, I would say whether I, and knowing that it could probably hurt you, I would say, you're not going to like this answer or something, but here it is.
00:11:15
Speaker 2: I guess maybe I would say, why do you need to know this?
00:11:19
Speaker 1: Right.
00:11:20
Speaker 2: For what purpose is this necessary?
00:11:22
Speaker 1: Because she needs closure on why, you know, $ 150, 000 is $ 150, 000, you know?
00:11:30
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:11:31
Speaker 1: And when you're raising girls and children in New York City, it's not cheap. You know, college costs a lot of money. School costs a lot of money. Yeah. Who knows what her financial situation was? But, you know, it's interesting. Like, is it closure? Is it just looking for someone to blame?
00:11:50
Speaker 2: Besides herself?
00:11:51
Speaker 1: Question mark. Yeah.
00:11:53
Speaker 2: Besides herself. Did her actions lead to that? Did Sonia's actions lead to that?
00:11:59
Speaker 1: Because sometimes when we're on these shows, things happen that we're not able to talk about, nor are we able to, you know, we're just not able to talk about that fourth wall, which is normal, you know? But I mean, she's very, you know, she's upset. And Dorinda wants to be friends with her. She wants to connect. But you can't connect if you're disconnected.
00:12:23
Speaker 2: I don't know. Is she going to tell her? I don't know, baby.
00:12:27
Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:12:28
Speaker 2: I'm not going to ask her.
00:12:29
Speaker 1: Every time I ask her, it's like, what? I get the Tinsley treatment. So then Sonia just is like going in after, she's going, literally going after Dorinda. And it's just like, you know, who gets drunker, who's more inappropriate, appropriate. So just like, you know, who gets obnoxious. And it's just, it's just like, that's that whole thing. So before we get to the yacht party, we're talking about meeting Michael. I love Michael.
00:13:13
Speaker 2: I'm a fan.
00:13:14
Speaker 1: He's a really nice guy. Yeah. He's a really nice guy. I mean, he is married, but he's a very nice guy. Okay. I mean, he's not divorced, is my point. I should say that. I should say, not say that. He is not divorced. Yeah. And there's a lot of guys in Florida that are not divorced.
00:13:37
Speaker 2: He's separated.
00:13:39
Speaker 1: He's separated, but he's not divorced.
00:13:42
Speaker 2: Hmm.
00:13:43
Speaker 1: So sometimes guys make that decision. And I tell my clients to do that all the time, not to get divorced if you don't have to, because it's a separation of assets.
00:13:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's usually financial.
00:13:53
Speaker 1: Right. But optically, people don't see it like that. You know, everyone asks, is he divorced? Well, no, he's not divorced. So that's just like a thing that everyone's talking about. I mean, I couldn't care less if he's divorced or not. I'm not dating him. But I mean, I would not date a man that is not divorced. Do you think that happens a lot in chapter two dating, though? I mean, are all these men not divorced?
00:14:16
Speaker 2: Girl.
00:14:20
Speaker 3: You know, right now is not the best time for me with men.
00:14:25
Speaker 2: I think that it's very difficult. I think that also....
00:14:32
Speaker 3: Like, you know, I'm 55 and I have noticed a lot of people stay together because it is a financial burden to get divorced. So if you're unhappy in your marriage, but you, I mean, look at Kyle and Mauricio. I'm not saying that theirs is a financial reason, but they're not divorced.
00:14:56
Speaker 1: Right.
00:14:57
Speaker 3: But they live separately and they live separate happy lives.
00:15:03
Speaker 2: But, you know, obviously Mauricio dates.
00:15:08
Speaker 1: Right.
00:15:09
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's happening more and more in our age bracket. People are just dating outside of their marriage, you know, complicitly. Right.
00:15:23
Speaker 1: I guess, I mean, you know, obviously I'm from the Midwest and I just have a different kind of moral code, but I also just think that For my clients, I don't want them to get divorced because I don't want women to be in a situation like I was. I got divorced and I'm like, I was the breadwinner. So I don't want that for my clients because it puts a lot of pressure on a woman because you have to take care. I mean, whether you know that, you know, not you, but most women, like when they get married, when they're very young, they're not handling finances, taxes, like all these different things. They don't understand like how much they're making and how much they can spend. And so for my clients, I say, like, if you don't have to get divorced, just take the money that you get per month and just live your life and don't worry about all those things that could be really, really, really, really stressful and not help you be a good parent. But for me now, my kids are grown, and I don't want to go out with a man that's not divorced because what if I fall in love with him?
00:16:27
Speaker 2: Oh, girl, yeah.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: That's a possibility. And then I'm screwed.
00:16:31
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:16:32
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, you know, I've had all these male issues, and now I'm going to be with someone who's not ever going to pick me?
00:16:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a wise choice.
00:16:45
Speaker 1: She's like, no.
00:16:49
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
00:16:51
Speaker 1: Don't do that.
00:16:53
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you, do not do that. I would be like, Kelly, I would fly out to New York and be like, no.
00:17:00
Speaker 2: We were going to sit down. And I'm going to tell you, no, wrong decision.
00:17:07
Speaker 1: No. So I think that, I mean, I think that there's a whole thing. I mean, there's two sides of that too. Like we were just talking about. So I don't mean who knows if Luann wants to get married or who knows what that's what. And then, and you know, you never know what's happening behind closed doors too. I'm just talking for myself. I'm not, I'm not placing judgment on anyone else.
00:17:27
Speaker 2: Right.
00:17:28
Speaker 1: Do you think that that Luann and Michael are a good match?
00:17:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
00:17:33
Speaker 3: I mean, like, honestly, he, you can see in his face, like, he loves her and he wants to, like, take care of her.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: He's protective of her.
00:17:44
Speaker 1: He is. He is.
00:17:47
Speaker 2: And I think he's so proud of her.
00:17:50
Speaker 1: All of those things. I remember the first time I met him was at Luann's Cabaret. And I showed up and he came running. He came running. Like I went into this little area and he came up immediately and he's like, I'm Michael. I'm Luann's boyfriend. I was like, oh my God. Okay. Hi. He was very, very, very sweet. Very sweet.
00:18:11
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine that it would be easy to be with someone like her with, you know, she has a very, very big life and a very busy life with a lot of travel.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: Right. And she's a big personality.
00:18:28
Speaker 1: Big personality.
00:18:30
Speaker 2: And he just goes with the flow.
00:18:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's cool. He's cool. Yeah. So one of the first gatherings that we all go to is this yacht party. Yeah. So Sonia was wearing a cover-up.
00:18:45
Speaker 2: You did Sonia dirty.
00:18:47
Speaker 1: But I thought it was during the day. I thought we were like, we're going to a yacht party. I'm like, bathing suit, cover-up.
00:18:53
Speaker 2: You could have maybe given her a heads up. I know. You show up like in this sequined dress and Sonia's like, I don't know what she was wearing. I wish I could have called her and told her.
00:19:11
Speaker 1: I wish I would have told her before. I wasn't even thinking about it. And I'm like, oh my God, it's at five o'clock and I have a date afterwards. So that's what my head was like in the forward motion of like what I was going to wear on my date.
00:19:25
Speaker 2: Kelly. You should have texted her.
00:19:28
Speaker 1: Kelly. I know.
00:19:31
Speaker 3: It's like Bridget Jones when she shows up in the bunny costume.
00:19:34
Speaker 2: That's not nice.
00:19:39
Speaker 1: It wasn't malintended, though, sincerely. It was just like, I was an oversight. I was just like, I wasn't thinking about it.
00:19:47
Speaker 2: Did it have cocktail attire on the invite?
00:19:50
Speaker 1: No.
00:19:51
Speaker 2: No.
00:19:51
Speaker 1: It was a yacht party. And then we found out.
00:19:53
Speaker 2: It seems like she would know what to wear.
00:19:56
Speaker 1: She does. But I think she was because she thought that I was wearing a bathing suit. She was going to wear a bathing suit. She kind of like, she's more than, she's like an in-person person. She's not a texter. So if you tell her what to do, she does it.
00:20:07
Speaker 2: Oh, God.
00:20:08
Speaker 1: I know.
00:20:09
Speaker 2: And that hat. I can't.
00:20:10
Speaker 1: She was all ready for like a daytime party.
00:20:12
Speaker 2: She looked like she was going to a pool party.
00:20:15
Speaker 1: She was going to a pool party and I was going to a yacht party and then on a date.
00:20:21
Speaker 2: My God.
00:20:23
Speaker 1: I know.
00:20:24
Speaker 2: The breaking of the glass.
00:20:27
Speaker 1: She's like, we always want to have a good time. Smash.
00:20:33
Speaker 2: God.
00:20:35
Speaker 1: And a boat.
00:20:37
Speaker 2: Oof.
00:20:40
Speaker 1: I don't think Sonia cut herself, though. She didn't hurt herself.
00:20:42
Speaker 2: I was looking to see if, what is his name, Roger?
00:20:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was looking at his hand to.
00:20:49
Speaker 2: See if he was bleeding.
00:20:50
Speaker 1: Right, but no one was wearing shoes, so everyone was panicking. Because, you know, you're on a boat, so you can't wear shoes.
00:20:55
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:20:56
Speaker 1: I know. It wasn't that bad. They were big pieces, so we picked them up. And she didn't mean it.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: Starting off with a bang. Bang.
00:21:06
Speaker 1: Boof.
00:21:07
Speaker 2: Sonia is back.
00:21:11
Speaker 1: We just have to clean up. We're like cleaning up and trying to organize. Well, I mean, I'm a cleaner upper. So I'm like, everyone let's clean up, you know? And Luanne was like, this is my friend's boat. Oh my God.
00:21:27
Speaker 2: This is so embarrassing.
00:21:29
Speaker 1: And then Luanne and Ramona. Oh, oh my God. Wait, before I tell you the next scene, it was like, Harry shows up. I hadn't seen Harry in so long. By the way, I met Harry when I was 22. two years old. Because I was dating this guy from Locust Valley. So he was like a fun party guy, like he is now. But now he's like an older, rich party guy.
00:21:53
Speaker 3: I love when Sonya said, I'll just see him at the retirement home.
00:22:01
Speaker 2: I know! Holding out!
00:22:04
Speaker 1: Holding out! Wait till he is 85 and he can't walk anymore. Can't chase after the The little chickies.
00:22:13
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:22:14
Speaker 1: He's just such a fun guy. He's such a nice guy. You know, take him anywhere. He's just so great. And he's such good friends with a lot of my friends. But, like, I mean, he just can't control his.
00:22:28
Speaker 2: Pack of pants.
00:22:30
Speaker 1: His penis.
00:22:35
Speaker 2: Oh, God.
00:22:35
Speaker 1: Do you see him that way?
00:22:37
Speaker 2: I've only seen him once.
00:22:39
Speaker 1: No, no. But do you see him? Do you find him attractive?
00:22:41
Speaker 2: No. But, you know, desperate times call for desperate measures. You know, I'd probably date him. Date him.
00:22:52
Speaker 1: Name him.
00:22:53
Speaker 2: Name him and date him.
00:22:54
Speaker 1: Name him and date him. I'm sure everyone on the pod is going to be like, wait, Kelly and Sutton are best friends. Clearly.
00:23:01
Speaker 2: We're speaking a different language.
00:23:03
Speaker 1: We speak our own language.
00:23:05
Speaker 2: Just catch up, people. It's fine.
00:23:07
Speaker 1: Catch up. Catch up.
00:23:09
Speaker 2: You'll get there.
00:23:11
Speaker 3: But I do have a question, though, because Sonia's been there. I didn't know that that's where she's been.
00:23:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, she moved there. After she sold the townhouse, she moved there.
00:23:22
Speaker 2: She moved there. Okay, but she acts a little bit fish out of water.
00:23:27
Speaker 1: She does, but she's been there for so many years. I mean, she's been going there for so many years, and she knows literally every single person there from her previous life. And her New York life. I mean, literally, it's just like New York, but sunny. It's crazy. Mm-hmm. I mean, literally, everyone is a booboo cake every night. And I live with Sonia in the second series.
00:23:56
Speaker 2: Oh, in the Hamptons.
00:23:57
Speaker 1: We're in Palm Beach, and then we're in the Hamptons. And it was two months. She's amazing. She's a great girl. All right. Then we're getting through this so much. I love this with you. Oh my God. I know. We need to do more pods together. Definitely. I have to have you on all the time.
00:24:17
Speaker 2: And I, you know, I've gotten into nerds candy. Yeah. I'm obsessed.
00:24:24
Speaker 3: Like I've forgotten about it. And I was eating those ones with the gummy things. I don't like the gummy part. So I was just eating the things off of it. And then Josh found me. He got me the box. And so now I put them in Ziploc bags. One box is only 50 calories.
00:24:41
Speaker 1: Nerd clusters, I know.
00:24:42
Speaker 2: I get just the nerds now.
00:24:44
Speaker 1: Oh, just the nerds. I mean, why do you think I eat candy? It's like a little, like satiates your appetite. It's good.
00:24:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so good.
00:24:51
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like I'm sitting over here like Cookie Monster, like, oh, oh. I mean, what?
00:24:58
Speaker 2: I just drop them so good. I'm like, we need to watch the episodes that I'll eat my nerds.
00:25:03
Speaker 1: I also am like a big fan of a Tic Tac.
00:25:06
Speaker 2: Orange. Oh, they're so good. They're so good. I'm a candy fiend. I know, me too.
00:25:12
Speaker 3: I know.
00:25:13
Speaker 1: We have so much in common. Okay, so we go to the sip and shop. Dorinda and Luann are late.
00:25:18
Speaker 2: They're late.
00:25:21
Speaker 1: Super late.
00:25:22
Speaker 2: I'm like, do y'all have producers?
00:25:25
Speaker 1: I know. By the way, to confirm, I have been on time actually early.
00:25:32
Speaker 2: You're always on time, though.
00:25:34
Speaker 1: I mean, like literally.
00:25:35
Speaker 2: Like you yell at me for being late.
00:25:37
Speaker 1: No, I mean, but I was, I used to be very late because I lived always downtown and everything was uptown. I was constantly like 20 minutes late.
00:25:44
Speaker 2: New York is crazy. Yeah.
00:25:45
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it's a sipping shop and they're totally late and they're just like, we've arrived. Where is everyone? Are we supposed to cheer for them?
00:25:54
Speaker 2: The funniest thing that I laughed so hard, Josh and I were laughing so hard when Dorinda says, you know, Lou has to like duck to get in. That's how it's so funny. Cause the visual of that made me laugh so hard, but she's so tall and like no one, she's like, no, no one's even like turning their heads to look at us. I'm like, because y'all like an hour and a half late. What do you mean?
00:26:21
Speaker 1: Literally. They were like, literally came at the very end. I know. And then Dorinda tries on a dress, that yellow dress, which is that, which is a great dress.
00:26:31
Speaker 2: I thought it was good.
00:26:32
Speaker 1: I thought it looked great. And so I'm just like, I hate the color. She needs a tan.
00:26:36
Speaker 2: I know. Lady.
00:26:43
Speaker 1: She's very outspoken on me. And she's like, this is a new Sonya that I haven't seen before. Like the other, the, the Sonya that I know her, like hair is falling off of her head. She's drinking. She's giddy and giggly, but now she's very outspoken. Oh yeah. Hmm.
00:27:01
Speaker 2: Well, I liked that dress. I thought it was really pretty.
00:27:04
Speaker 1: I did.
00:27:05
Speaker 2: Me too.
00:27:05
Speaker 1: And I thought she looked great in it.
00:27:07
Speaker 2: But, you know, blondes can wear that color.
00:27:10
Speaker 1: Right.
00:27:10
Speaker 2: Like I wanted that dress.
00:27:12
Speaker 1: But if I wore that color, I would look, my skin would look jaundiced.
00:27:16
Speaker 2: Yes. But I didn't. I think tan and that might not go well.
00:27:21
Speaker 1: Not at all. She's really pretty, I thought. Yeah. No, I love that. I love that for her. Yes. Remember when I was telling you about the rules that Ramona has, these Ramona rules?
00:27:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:27:41
Speaker 1: So at the party, someone came into the party. And how did Ramona know that someone that she didn't know was at the party?
00:27:52
Speaker 2: I don't know. She's got radar or something. I don't know.
00:27:56
Speaker 1: She's got Ramona radar.
00:27:57
Speaker 2: She's got Ramona radar.
00:27:58
Speaker 1: Ramona rules and Ramona radar.
00:28:00
Speaker 3: Ramona rules radar. And that lady, and she was not leaving.
00:28:07
Speaker 1: Oh, no, she was staying. She was going to stay. And then there was another one that came.
00:28:11
Speaker 2: Then there was another one.
00:28:13
Speaker 3: Ramona's like, bye, you can meet her another day.
00:28:17
Speaker 1: But is this like normal? I've never seen this in Palm Beach where you have a sign that says private party and people just walk into the private party. I would never do that.
00:28:27
Speaker 3: You know, I did do that. I did, like a few months ago in New York. I was desperate for a pair of shoes.
00:28:40
Speaker 2: I can't remember where I was going, maybe to the Botanical Garden party. And I was racing in there to find a pair of shoes. And it was in Manila Blahnik on Madison.
00:28:54
Speaker 3: And I kind of just walked in. And then all of a sudden I saw like girls with thangs. And I said, I am so sorry. I did not know that this was a private party. And they were like, no, please come in. And this woman came running up like, Sutton, come in. I was like, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't have any makeup on. I was like facing around town all day.
00:29:17
Speaker 2: I was like, no, no, no. And they're like, no, come in.
00:29:20
Speaker 3: So very different experience than that poor lady who was like, I'm coming in and not leaving.
00:29:27
Speaker 2: Ramona's like, no, this is a private party and you have to leave. Just let her in, you know. Who cares? Just let the lady stay. She was dressed nicely.
00:29:39
Speaker 1: Oh. my god that is so funny that's tarzan um i i have never crashed a party before but i would definitely if madonna blahnik was closed was closed to put to a party would go in.
00:29:54
Speaker 3: There i didn't know but i it worked i've crashed parties before.
00:30:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. More? Oh, yeah. Miami, Art Basel.
00:30:05
Speaker 3: I crashed a huge party. Like, I went to the next door neighbor's house to go to the back.
00:30:13
Speaker 1: Like Lauren Rittinger's party?
00:30:16
Speaker 2: It was on the water. They have incredible art. Incredible art. I don't know whose it was.
00:30:23
Speaker 1: I was with a friend.
00:30:25
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
00:30:26
Speaker 3: And they have a boat and they take the boat out at like four in the morning.
00:30:30
Speaker 1: Lauren Rittinger, yes.
00:30:32
Speaker 2: Well, I went. I went.
00:30:34
Speaker 1: Wait, how would that I know?
00:30:35
Speaker 2: I brought my own, you know, stuff, bar needs, because I wasn't going to come empty-handed.
00:30:44
Speaker 1: Right.
00:30:44
Speaker 2: I was with a friend, and he was like, Sutton, if I had known you in college, we would have had so much fun, because we had to kind of climb a wall. And I was like, yeah, I was really fun in college. If you can imagine, it was worse.
00:30:56
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, my God.
00:30:57
Speaker 2: Totally crashed that party. Like, I crashed that party. Not invited, not on the list.
00:31:02
Speaker 1: Wait, but I love that you bring your own, you know, drinks and everything with you.
00:31:06
Speaker 3: Why not?
00:31:06
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't want to, because I wasn't invited, so I was going to bring my own stuff. I'm not going to, you know.
00:31:10
Speaker 1: You're not going to wait, go to the party?
00:31:12
Speaker 2: We got, we went to, like, we'll get in. And the guy was like, your names are not on the list. So we went around. We'll see about that, mister. Say mister. I'm such a. Sutton, I'm going to this party.
00:31:28
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Well, I mean, so two women get kicked out.
00:31:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:31:33
Speaker 1: And there's one dress bought. And then there's a mispronunciation of the designer's name.
00:31:43
Speaker 3: Rule breaker is note the designer's name and how to pronounce it.
00:31:48
Speaker 1: Phonetically. Just phonetically.
00:31:51
Speaker 2: Just, yeah.
00:31:52
Speaker 3: Just, yeah.
00:31:53
Speaker 2: As the hostess. So funny.
00:31:57
Speaker 1: I'm like literally laughing so hard.
00:31:59
Speaker 2: And I love the way I'm like really like in a French lesson.
00:32:02
Speaker 1: Yes. She's like trying to tell her. She's like, and this is how you enunciate the word.
00:32:07
Speaker 2: Herve.
00:32:08
Speaker 3: Herve.
00:32:08
Speaker 1: Herve. Herve. Herve. So then Ramona's like, okay, she's like, one party isn't enough. Now we're going to go to Kima, which is this really fun place when you come to Palm Beach.
00:32:26
Speaker 2: That looks fun.
00:32:27
Speaker 1: So fun. Food is so good. It's kind of like an Asian fusion vibe. Great drinks. And it's a big, big, big restaurant. And so Ramona's like, everybody come. So I go with.
00:32:44
Speaker 1: Luann and Roger and Max and Michael to have drinks before because there was a lapse between the party and the dinner. So I was like, I'm just going to hang out with them. I'm not going to go back and change. I'm just going to hang out with them.
00:32:57
Speaker 2: And Roger and Max are so fun.
00:32:58
Speaker 1: They're so cute. They're so cute. So they're like employees. So Ramona says employees are not invited.
00:33:06
Speaker 2: And y'all are like, we're going to employees only.
00:33:08
Speaker 1: We're going to employees only. That's what I said. And so I hung out with them, and Luann's like, we're all just going to go. So we all end up going in. Everyone was like, there's only so much space at the table. Because this isn't a party for 50. This is a party for eight or whatever, how many we were. And so Michael is at the bar. And then Michael sat down. And then Luann's, you know, Roger and Max, they left. And then a friend of Ramona, this friend of mine from New York, he was there. So he was hanging out. He was actually married to one of my really good friends a long time ago. Very nice guy, AL. And then Sonia, they start asking Sonia why she wasn't nice to them. And I don't know if she was, like, drinking too many mocktails or what happened. She just got really red. Had to go to the bathroom. There was a little bit of puking going on.
00:34:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a little lost in all of that. I didn't understand what was going on. I couldn't hear. Yeah, she got upset. I didn't quite get that part. She got upset. Why'd she throw up? And why do you throw up in the sink and not in the toilet? I thought, I love you.
00:34:34
Speaker 1: I'm like, I would ruin the sink for other people.
00:34:38
Speaker 2: I'm going to throw up thinking about it, to be honest. And then when the camera went to the sink, Josh and I were like, oh my God, so gross. Oh, and the breath part.
00:34:50
Speaker 3: I just, I blew in spraying the breath spray.
00:34:54
Speaker 1: I love that Luann has emergency breath spray.
00:34:57
Speaker 2: Always carry. Well, no, I love that stuff. It's so good.
00:35:00
Speaker 1: No, me too. And I carry, but I mean, I was like, the spray, I was like, wow, she's really prepared for like.
00:35:06
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad she was because when she said.
00:35:10
Speaker 1: Well, she is a nurse.
00:35:11
Speaker 2: That's true. Always prepared. Always prepared.
00:35:14
Speaker 3: But when Sonia said, does my breath smell?
00:35:19
Speaker 2: And Luann kind of also gagged. Like, yes.
00:35:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes.
00:35:27
Speaker 2: I can smell your burp or throw up.
00:35:31
Speaker 1: Oh, I wouldn't know. My nostrils have been like fried from that. Oh, gross. So then we're all trying to like come back and be friends and have fun. Right.
00:35:48
Speaker 2: Right.
00:35:49
Speaker 1: And there's a big party and we're all dancing and like, you know, woo, yay, party time. I'm trying to, I literally was like.
00:35:58
Speaker 2: You looked so cute when you were doing this.
00:36:01
Speaker 1: You did.
00:36:01
Speaker 2: You looked so cute.
00:36:03
Speaker 1: Trying to like do whatever.
00:36:05
Speaker 2: You're like, I'm in Central Bay.
00:36:07
Speaker 1: I'm in Central Bay right now. That's exactly how I was feeling. I'm like, sink on sink. And then Sonia and Ramona start dancing with Michael.
00:36:19
Speaker 2: Okay, yes. Let's discuss.
00:36:22
Speaker 1: No.
00:36:23
Speaker 2: I have danced with Michael.
00:36:24
Speaker 1: I mean, I have never danced with Michael, but they were lifting his shirt up.
00:36:31
Speaker 2: Were both of them or just Sonia?
00:36:33
Speaker 1: I think Sonia was lifting his shirt up. Ramona was just dancing around him.
00:36:37
Speaker 2: She was just dancing. She actually looked kind of cute doing that.
00:36:40
Speaker 1: Very cute.
00:36:41
Speaker 2: Very cute dancer.
00:36:44
Speaker 3: Sonia can take it a little too far sometimes. I mean, you know, for me personally, if.
00:36:56
Speaker 2: And when, ladies, take heed, if and when I actually get a boyfriend, it will happen one day, nobody lifts his shirt up or I will take you down.
00:37:11
Speaker 1: Confirmed.
00:37:12
Speaker 2: No one picks up my boyfriend's shirt?
00:37:15
Speaker 1: No.
00:37:16
Speaker 3: I'm going to turn into one of those incredible people and dive in and be like, what are you doing?
00:37:22
Speaker 2: Hands off my boyfriend. I'm crazy like that.
00:37:26
Speaker 1: You know, ironically, all the guys that I've dated in the past, the list isn't that long, but it's long enough. They are all the kind of people that literally pull up their shirt.
00:37:35
Speaker 2: Well, they don't last that long, Kelly. No.
00:37:38
Speaker 1: There are those guys that actually pull their shirts up. And I'm like, nobody wants to touch that. No. That's the problem.
00:37:46
Speaker 2: Put it back down. Just stay cute and charming. Keep your shirt down.
00:37:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Just tell everyone how pretty they are. It's fine.
00:37:53
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. No, really. I thought that was so inappropriate. Like, Sonia, I love you. I really do. But don't do that. Like, no.
00:38:04
Speaker 1: No. I think she was just having fun, but to your point, I think she sometimes takes it too far, but she doesn't realize it. I don't think she's one of these people that's like, oh my God, I'm going to get my moment to touch him. I think she was just having a good time and she was really just letting off steam because she was not feeling well before, but it just goes too far sometimes.
00:38:28
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:38:29
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:38:29
Speaker 2: And he's got a very hairy stomach, too. Like, that was embarrassing for him.
00:38:34
Speaker 1: I thought so, too. I was like, what is going on there? But also, Luann and Sonia have this weird competition. I'm going to use the word. And I'm going to gently use that word. Okay. Okay. Saying that each other, they're like frenemies, where they're like, you're flirting with my boyfriend, and you were flirting with my boyfriend. They're very competitive with men. Very competitive with men.
00:39:03
Speaker 2: So, you know, I just read this Carl Jung definition of jealousy.
00:39:10
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:39:11
Speaker 2: And Carl Jung says that jealousy is just the lack of love.
00:39:17
Speaker 1: Aww.
00:39:19
Speaker 2: And attention. Lack of love and attention. I know. Think about that one.
00:39:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, that's a good one. Very good one. And I think that they... both, you know, require a lot of attention and are used to a lot of attention. You know, male attention. And they just go after each other.
00:39:43
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am.
00:39:43
Speaker 1: We need to give some etiquette lessons here, Sutton.
00:39:46
Speaker 2: Well, yeah. I need a refresher course right now.
00:39:53
Speaker 1: And so Luann ends the scene with, I'm your queen and don't forget it.
00:40:01
Speaker 2: Ooh. And now I have to go watch the next episode.
00:40:06
Speaker 1: I do.
00:40:06
Speaker 2: I'm like, now what?
00:40:09
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to do this with me because we're having the best time and you know, the people with me, we have to do this.
00:40:16
Speaker 2: I have questions.
00:40:17
Speaker 1: Well, so do I, but I can't ask these questions because I'm on the show with these women and they won't answer anything.
00:40:27
Speaker 2: You don't, you don't ask them anything as it's going.
00:40:32
Speaker 1: I try, but then they're like, Oh Kelly, did you not watch the scene? I'm like, Sorry, I'm not like, you know. Why not in the present, you ask? That's what I like to do. I'm a present person.
00:40:45
Speaker 2: Are you kidding? That's all we do.
00:40:47
Speaker 1: I'd like to ask you today. How did you feel?
00:40:50
Speaker 2: I mean, I hate it because I'm like, I know they're going to ask me questions.
00:40:56
Speaker 3: And I don't want to, but like, we're inquisitive here in Beverly Hills.
00:41:01
Speaker 1: But listen, if you don't ask a question to someone, how are you going to get closer? How are you going to get to know people if you don't ask questions? I ask a lot of questions.
00:41:12
Speaker 2: Next time you're with them and hairy, then you need to ask.
00:41:18
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask.
00:41:19
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:41:21
Speaker 1: Sutton, I love you. This was so much fun. Thank you so much.
00:41:24
Speaker 2: This has cleared up a lot for me, though, by the way.
00:41:27
Speaker 1: Both of us. Both of us confirmed because I have a lot of questions. I have so many questions. That I want answers to. And this has been so much fun. I'm so glad that you're joining me on The Golden Life with the recap.
00:41:41
Speaker 2: So fun.
00:41:42
Speaker 1: Tuesdays on E and streaming live on Hulu. Sutton, we love you.

Speaker 2: I love you.

All the info is in the show notes and definitely, definitely follow us on socials. I Do Part Two, an iHeartRadio podcast where falling in love is always the main objective.
Speaker 1: Hey, I do part two. It's your celebrity mentor, Kelly Benzema. And I'm so excited because my new show, The Golden Life on E!, is now streaming on Hulu. We are going to be recapping episodes here on the pod. And who better to kick it off than my very dear friend, Sutton. We love you, Sutton, from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Sutton, my girl. I know.
00:00:46
Speaker 2: I'm just so excited to see your face.
00:00:49
Speaker 1: I know.
00:00:49
Speaker 2: Me too. All right.
00:00:51
Speaker 1: What did you think of the episode? The first episode of The Golden Life. Come on. Okay.
00:00:55
Speaker 3: First of all, I've got to tell you, I watched it with my friend and COO, Josh.
00:01:03
Speaker 2: And I go, is this what people do?
00:01:07
Speaker 3: Like, do they sit and watch reality and like laugh and comment on outfits and say, what are they doing? He's like, yes, Sutton, this is normal.
00:01:20
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my God, this is what they do to me. So I thought it was so good.
00:01:25
Speaker 3: I got completely like wrapped in Within like the first 10 minutes.
00:01:30
Speaker 1: I love that.
00:01:32
Speaker 2: No, I did. I was like, you know, because I know y'all.
00:01:35
Speaker 1: Right.
00:01:36
Speaker 3: And I haven't seen Sonia in so long. So I was happy to like see.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Her in my bedroom. Yes. In your bedroom.
00:01:44
Speaker 3: And, you know, I always love seeing you. And I see Lou a lot. And Dorinda, like it was just fun to watch y'all.
00:01:51
Speaker 1: I know, it's just so funny to see, it's just like me watching you. I'm like, oh, my son.
00:01:56
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is going on? Yeah.
00:01:58
Speaker 1: So, okay, so you were having these like weird moments where you're like, wait, I'm actually watching my friends. What was it like seeing the New York ladies on the screen together? I mean, we're back. I know.
00:02:10
Speaker 2: So here's the other part.
00:02:12
Speaker 3: I did not watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Like I would every now and then, but I wasn't like a super fan.
00:02:20
Speaker 2: I didn't watch it a lot. I watched New York. Right.
00:02:25
Speaker 3: That was like my show that I watched because, you know, I love New York and I always wanted to be there.
00:02:30
Speaker 2: So it kind of took me back, you know? Right. So like I.
00:02:35
Speaker 1: Well, and you spend a lot of time here. So you're like the ballet, all the places that you go, you're worth, we're at the same places that you went. So. Yeah.
00:02:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:02:44
Speaker 3: And, and, and I lived there a long time, so I wanted to always, it felt like I was still living there watching y'all.
00:02:52
Speaker 2: On the Housewives of New York.
00:02:54
Speaker 3: So to see y'all together again was a bit surreal in, you know, Palm Beach. I mean, why are they wearing, like, why are they wearing floral dresses?
00:03:10
Speaker 1: What is going on?
00:03:12
Speaker 2: Where are the taxis? Where are the dark lit bars? Like, what is going on?
00:03:21
Speaker 1: Where's all the noise?
00:03:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, where's all the noise? Where are the small apartments? It was so different. But y'all are the same.
00:03:32
Speaker 1: What did you think of Ramona's fashion sense and her rules? No one wears black.
00:03:39
Speaker 2: Ramona looks good.
00:03:41
Speaker 1: Hello. She looks beautiful.
00:03:44
Speaker 2: She looks good.
00:03:45
Speaker 1: But she's got rules.
00:03:47
Speaker 2: Does she really?
00:03:47
Speaker 1: Is that for real? Well, I was just at a birthday party and she has all of these very wealthy friends and they have rules. And so I think she does have rules.
00:04:00
Speaker 2: I don't understand that. I have a lot of wealthy friends. They don't have rules.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: Well, these women do though.
00:04:07
Speaker 2: That's weird.
00:04:07
Speaker 1: They like celebrate in a different way. They have lunches in a different way.
00:04:12
Speaker 2: They have too much time on their hands.
00:04:14
Speaker 1: I mean, these are like, there's like 70 women at a time. We're talking a lunch of like 50 to 70. We're not talking like you and I.
00:04:24
Speaker 3: I can't do rules like that. I've lived in LA too long, but also I get it. Like I've never had a.
00:04:29
Speaker 2: Problem with dressing.
00:04:31
Speaker 1: Right. It's actually beautiful. I mean, I literally, I mean, I wore so much pink and I love pink, but I'm like, oh my God, I'm wearing so much pink.
00:04:41
Speaker 2: I'm Southern. So I, you know, I've never let go of that kind of, I guess, girly dressing. Yeah.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Well, that's what was nice is every single lunch that we went to, that all the ladies were really well-dressed. So it just aesthetically, it's very pleasing to my eye.
00:04:59
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's pretty there.
00:05:01
Speaker 1: It's pretty.
00:05:02
Speaker 2: It's so pretty.
00:05:03
Speaker 1: So pretty.
00:05:05
Speaker 2: There was one drive down a beautiful street.
00:05:08
Speaker 3: I think it was Luann and Dorinda. And the houses are so beautiful.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: Gorgeous.
00:05:18
Speaker 2: And, you know, the weather's so pretty. I mean, how do you complain?
00:05:24
Speaker 1: You don't complain. But it, so we literally.
00:05:27
Speaker 2: Besides Mar-a-Lago or whatever that place is called. You can complain about that. But otherwise, is that what it's called? Mar-a-Lago?
00:05:34
Speaker 1: So basically, we basically start the episode with we've left New York. And we're on our way to Florida to see like, is this going to be part of our chapter two? Right.
00:05:49
Speaker 2: Lou has Giovanni bag in hand.
00:05:51
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm Karen Hermes. I don't know about you. I love Giovanni, but it's so good. I know. But it is really, it's so fun watching them like get off the plane and everything. I was like laughing. I was already there. So we're, so we're all there. It's Dorinda. Ramona, Sonia, and Luann and I. And it's our golden years in Palm Beach. Oh, and that's me. I'm the opener with my cartwheels. I can't even do a cartwheel anymore, which is absolutely.
00:06:23
Speaker 2: Girl, you need to stop that. I was like, stop, Kelly, stop.
00:06:27
Speaker 1: I know, but I got to get back into that. I got to start. I got to like, I can be, I can do a cartwheel. I believe you. But in our confessional, Sonia's like, by the way, big T, I'm sober. Yeah.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: That, that was short lived.
00:06:43
Speaker 1: Dorinda wants to reestablish her relationships with her friends. I haven't seen the ladies in a long time and I am just so in a forward velocity or emotion. And Luann is on tour all over the world and she just needs some time off. Simple. I got the girls of the Perkins together. And I was going to be in there. And I thought to myself, if I was in the same complex, it would be like, I don't know, like Melrose Place.
00:07:13
Speaker 2: Melrose Place, yes.
00:07:14
Speaker 3: I know.
00:07:16
Speaker 2: Damn.
00:07:17
Speaker 1: But you know me, I'm a fixer. So I need to have like an interesting vibe that needs some love. You know how I roll. I can't be like, oh, this is all easy. It always has to be complicated for me. Yeah.
00:07:28
Speaker 2: No, you got to like do.
00:07:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to do. So they're in the same building together. And Sonya has her own apartment that she bought. Ramona bought an apartment there after COVID. And I'm down there in this house that I'm like, I'm going to redo. Luann Ramona and Sonia, they meet at Ramona's apartment, which is so cute.
00:07:51
Speaker 2: So cute.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: So cute. So pretty. So clean. And Ramona shares that Sonia's a recluse and that she only, she doesn't leave her house for like 12 days at a time. And I know that for a fact.
00:08:07
Speaker 2: I'm with her on this one.
00:08:11
Speaker 1: She's a Sagittarius. So she's on and then she's off.
00:08:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:08:16
Speaker 1: I'm a Taurus. I'm like, let's hug all the time.
00:08:20
Speaker 2: I'm Sag rising. So I have that in me. Yeah.
00:08:24
Speaker 1: She just, and she can, she can just stay in her room. No harm, no foul. Doesn't even see, hear nothing.
00:08:34
Speaker 3: Was she like that in New York as well? It seemed like she was always bebopping around in New York.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Well, because I didn't live with her. So I never saw her that I never had her say that before because I didn't know. I think in the townhouse, her daughter was there. So, I mean, you know, the kids have been out of the house like only a couple of years.
00:08:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:08:56
Speaker 1: You know, because of all the kids graduated from college. So they were home and now they're not.
00:09:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:09:03
Speaker 1: You know, I mean.
00:09:04
Speaker 2: Yeah. I do know.
00:09:06
Speaker 1: I mean, you have one little rabbit still home, but we know most of us.
00:09:09
Speaker 2: No, he's not home.
00:09:10
Speaker 1: Well, he's home-ish.
00:09:11
Speaker 2: Right.
00:09:12
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. But everybody else is like their kids have graduated from college. So, okay. So Sonia tells us that she's a recluse. She says, I wasn't there. And that she's still mad at Dorinda for excluding her from inviting her to Bluestone Manor for a filming. So Dorinda, so they're all like, well, why don't you spend some time with Dorinda and see what happens? It was a decade ago. I don't know what happened, but maybe like Dorinda could just be real about it and just be like, Hey, this is what happened. Like, I don't really know what happened because I wasn't there. I wasn't filming at the time.
00:09:51
Speaker 2: You weren't in that. Okay.
00:09:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:09:52
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I don't know, but she's usually a straight shooter.
00:09:58
Speaker 1: She is a straight shooter. but she also, Sonia is, you know, she was taking care of her daughter by herself. So she was like that 150,000 or whatever it was meant a lot to me. What happened? And I think Dorinda should just say, you know, I know that affected you. I know that you needed the money at the time to make sure that your daughter was safe and healthy and well. And it wasn't a decision of mine. Like, just say it. Just because nobody knows what happened. I mean, I understand, like, let the past be in the past and that's fine. But you and I are like, tell me what happened.
00:10:37
Speaker 2: Just tell me.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: Tell me.
00:10:39
Speaker 2: Get it over with. Yeah, just tell me. It's going to hurt. But I got to know.
00:10:44
Speaker 1: Yeah. Right. Was it your decision? Was it someone else's decision? Just so you know, because I think.
00:10:53
Speaker 2: Give her peace of mind. Is that what she's after?
00:10:58
Speaker 1: Saying that like it was in the past does not give peace of mind. That is just being dismissive. Like if you ask me a question, I would say whether I, and knowing that it could probably hurt you, I would say, you're not going to like this answer or something, but here it is.
00:11:15
Speaker 2: I guess maybe I would say, why do you need to know this?
00:11:19
Speaker 1: Right.
00:11:20
Speaker 2: For what purpose is this necessary?
00:11:22
Speaker 1: Because she needs closure on why, you know, $ 150, 000 is $ 150, 000, you know?
00:11:30
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:11:31
Speaker 1: And when you're raising girls and children in New York City, it's not cheap. You know, college costs a lot of money. School costs a lot of money. Yeah. Who knows what her financial situation was? But, you know, it's interesting. Like, is it closure? Is it just looking for someone to blame?
00:11:50
Speaker 2: Besides herself?
00:11:51
Speaker 1: Question mark. Yeah.
00:11:53
Speaker 2: Besides herself. Did her actions lead to that? Did Sonia's actions lead to that?
00:11:59
Speaker 1: Because sometimes when we're on these shows, things happen that we're not able to talk about, nor are we able to, you know, we're just not able to talk about that fourth wall, which is normal, you know? But I mean, she's very, you know, she's upset. And Dorinda wants to be friends with her. She wants to connect. But you can't connect if you're disconnected.
00:12:23
Speaker 2: I don't know. Is she going to tell her? I don't know, baby.
00:12:27
Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:12:28
Speaker 2: I'm not going to ask her.
00:12:29
Speaker 1: Every time I ask her, it's like, what? I get the Tinsley treatment. So then Sonia just is like going in after, she's going, literally going after Dorinda. And it's just like, you know, who gets drunker, who's more inappropriate, appropriate. So just like, you know, who gets obnoxious. And it's just, it's just like, that's that whole thing. So before we get to the yacht party, we're talking about meeting Michael. I love Michael.
00:13:13
Speaker 2: I'm a fan.
00:13:14
Speaker 1: He's a really nice guy. Yeah. He's a really nice guy. I mean, he is married, but he's a very nice guy. Okay. I mean, he's not divorced, is my point. I should say that. I should say, not say that. He is not divorced. Yeah. And there's a lot of guys in Florida that are not divorced.
00:13:37
Speaker 2: He's separated.
00:13:39
Speaker 1: He's separated, but he's not divorced.
00:13:42
Speaker 2: Hmm.
00:13:43
Speaker 1: So sometimes guys make that decision. And I tell my clients to do that all the time, not to get divorced if you don't have to, because it's a separation of assets.
00:13:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's usually financial.
00:13:53
Speaker 1: Right. But optically, people don't see it like that. You know, everyone asks, is he divorced? Well, no, he's not divorced. So that's just like a thing that everyone's talking about. I mean, I couldn't care less if he's divorced or not. I'm not dating him. But I mean, I would not date a man that is not divorced. Do you think that happens a lot in chapter two dating, though? I mean, are all these men not divorced?
00:14:16
Speaker 2: Girl.
00:14:20
Speaker 3: You know, right now is not the best time for me with men.
00:14:25
Speaker 2: I think that it's very difficult. I think that also....
00:14:32
Speaker 3: Like, you know, I'm 55 and I have noticed a lot of people stay together because it is a financial burden to get divorced. So if you're unhappy in your marriage, but you, I mean, look at Kyle and Mauricio. I'm not saying that theirs is a financial reason, but they're not divorced.
00:14:56
Speaker 1: Right.
00:14:57
Speaker 3: But they live separately and they live separate happy lives.
00:15:03
Speaker 2: But, you know, obviously Mauricio dates.
00:15:08
Speaker 1: Right.
00:15:09
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's happening more and more in our age bracket. People are just dating outside of their marriage, you know, complicitly. Right.
00:15:23
Speaker 1: I guess, I mean, you know, obviously I'm from the Midwest and I just have a different kind of moral code, but I also just think that For my clients, I don't want them to get divorced because I don't want women to be in a situation like I was. I got divorced and I'm like, I was the breadwinner. So I don't want that for my clients because it puts a lot of pressure on a woman because you have to take care. I mean, whether you know that, you know, not you, but most women, like when they get married, when they're very young, they're not handling finances, taxes, like all these different things. They don't understand like how much they're making and how much they can spend. And so for my clients, I say, like, if you don't have to get divorced, just take the money that you get per month and just live your life and don't worry about all those things that could be really, really, really, really stressful and not help you be a good parent. But for me now, my kids are grown, and I don't want to go out with a man that's not divorced because what if I fall in love with him?
00:16:27
Speaker 2: Oh, girl, yeah.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: That's a possibility. And then I'm screwed.
00:16:31
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:16:32
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, you know, I've had all these male issues, and now I'm going to be with someone who's not ever going to pick me?
00:16:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a wise choice.
00:16:45
Speaker 1: She's like, no.
00:16:49
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
00:16:51
Speaker 1: Don't do that.
00:16:53
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you, do not do that. I would be like, Kelly, I would fly out to New York and be like, no.
00:17:00
Speaker 2: We were going to sit down. And I'm going to tell you, no, wrong decision.
00:17:07
Speaker 1: No. So I think that, I mean, I think that there's a whole thing. I mean, there's two sides of that too. Like we were just talking about. So I don't mean who knows if Luann wants to get married or who knows what that's what. And then, and you know, you never know what's happening behind closed doors too. I'm just talking for myself. I'm not, I'm not placing judgment on anyone else.
00:17:27
Speaker 2: Right.
00:17:28
Speaker 1: Do you think that that Luann and Michael are a good match?
00:17:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
00:17:33
Speaker 3: I mean, like, honestly, he, you can see in his face, like, he loves her and he wants to, like, take care of her.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: He's protective of her.
00:17:44
Speaker 1: He is. He is.
00:17:47
Speaker 2: And I think he's so proud of her.
00:17:50
Speaker 1: All of those things. I remember the first time I met him was at Luann's Cabaret. And I showed up and he came running. He came running. Like I went into this little area and he came up immediately and he's like, I'm Michael. I'm Luann's boyfriend. I was like, oh my God. Okay. Hi. He was very, very, very sweet. Very sweet.
00:18:11
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine that it would be easy to be with someone like her with, you know, she has a very, very big life and a very busy life with a lot of travel.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: Right. And she's a big personality.
00:18:28
Speaker 1: Big personality.
00:18:30
Speaker 2: And he just goes with the flow.
00:18:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's cool. He's cool. Yeah. So one of the first gatherings that we all go to is this yacht party. Yeah. So Sonia was wearing a cover-up.
00:18:45
Speaker 2: You did Sonia dirty.
00:18:47
Speaker 1: But I thought it was during the day. I thought we were like, we're going to a yacht party. I'm like, bathing suit, cover-up.
00:18:53
Speaker 2: You could have maybe given her a heads up. I know. You show up like in this sequined dress and Sonia's like, I don't know what she was wearing. I wish I could have called her and told her.
00:19:11
Speaker 1: I wish I would have told her before. I wasn't even thinking about it. And I'm like, oh my God, it's at five o'clock and I have a date afterwards. So that's what my head was like in the forward motion of like what I was going to wear on my date.
00:19:25
Speaker 2: Kelly. You should have texted her.
00:19:28
Speaker 1: Kelly. I know.
00:19:31
Speaker 3: It's like Bridget Jones when she shows up in the bunny costume.
00:19:34
Speaker 2: That's not nice.
00:19:39
Speaker 1: It wasn't malintended, though, sincerely. It was just like, I was an oversight. I was just like, I wasn't thinking about it.
00:19:47
Speaker 2: Did it have cocktail attire on the invite?
00:19:50
Speaker 1: No.
00:19:51
Speaker 2: No.
00:19:51
Speaker 1: It was a yacht party. And then we found out.
00:19:53
Speaker 2: It seems like she would know what to wear.
00:19:56
Speaker 1: She does. But I think she was because she thought that I was wearing a bathing suit. She was going to wear a bathing suit. She kind of like, she's more than, she's like an in-person person. She's not a texter. So if you tell her what to do, she does it.
00:20:07
Speaker 2: Oh, God.
00:20:08
Speaker 1: I know.
00:20:09
Speaker 2: And that hat. I can't.
00:20:10
Speaker 1: She was all ready for like a daytime party.
00:20:12
Speaker 2: She looked like she was going to a pool party.
00:20:15
Speaker 1: She was going to a pool party and I was going to a yacht party and then on a date.
00:20:21
Speaker 2: My God.
00:20:23
Speaker 1: I know.
00:20:24
Speaker 2: The breaking of the glass.
00:20:27
Speaker 1: She's like, we always want to have a good time. Smash.
00:20:33
Speaker 2: God.
00:20:35
Speaker 1: And a boat.
00:20:37
Speaker 2: Oof.
00:20:40
Speaker 1: I don't think Sonia cut herself, though. She didn't hurt herself.
00:20:42
Speaker 2: I was looking to see if, what is his name, Roger?
00:20:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was looking at his hand to.
00:20:49
Speaker 2: See if he was bleeding.
00:20:50
Speaker 1: Right, but no one was wearing shoes, so everyone was panicking. Because, you know, you're on a boat, so you can't wear shoes.
00:20:55
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:20:56
Speaker 1: I know. It wasn't that bad. They were big pieces, so we picked them up. And she didn't mean it.
00:21:03
Speaker 2: Starting off with a bang. Bang.
00:21:06
Speaker 1: Boof.
00:21:07
Speaker 2: Sonia is back.
00:21:11
Speaker 1: We just have to clean up. We're like cleaning up and trying to organize. Well, I mean, I'm a cleaner upper. So I'm like, everyone let's clean up, you know? And Luanne was like, this is my friend's boat. Oh my God.
00:21:27
Speaker 2: This is so embarrassing.
00:21:29
Speaker 1: And then Luanne and Ramona. Oh, oh my God. Wait, before I tell you the next scene, it was like, Harry shows up. I hadn't seen Harry in so long. By the way, I met Harry when I was 22. two years old. Because I was dating this guy from Locust Valley. So he was like a fun party guy, like he is now. But now he's like an older, rich party guy.
00:21:53
Speaker 3: I love when Sonya said, I'll just see him at the retirement home.
00:22:01
Speaker 2: I know! Holding out!
00:22:04
Speaker 1: Holding out! Wait till he is 85 and he can't walk anymore. Can't chase after the The little chickies.
00:22:13
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:22:14
Speaker 1: He's just such a fun guy. He's such a nice guy. You know, take him anywhere. He's just so great. And he's such good friends with a lot of my friends. But, like, I mean, he just can't control his.
00:22:28
Speaker 2: Pack of pants.
00:22:30
Speaker 1: His penis.
00:22:35
Speaker 2: Oh, God.
00:22:35
Speaker 1: Do you see him that way?
00:22:37
Speaker 2: I've only seen him once.
00:22:39
Speaker 1: No, no. But do you see him? Do you find him attractive?
00:22:41
Speaker 2: No. But, you know, desperate times call for desperate measures. You know, I'd probably date him. Date him.
00:22:52
Speaker 1: Name him.
00:22:53
Speaker 2: Name him and date him.
00:22:54
Speaker 1: Name him and date him. I'm sure everyone on the pod is going to be like, wait, Kelly and Sutton are best friends. Clearly.
00:23:01
Speaker 2: We're speaking a different language.
00:23:03
Speaker 1: We speak our own language.
00:23:05
Speaker 2: Just catch up, people. It's fine.
00:23:07
Speaker 1: Catch up. Catch up.
00:23:09
Speaker 2: You'll get there.
00:23:11
Speaker 3: But I do have a question, though, because Sonia's been there. I didn't know that that's where she's been.
00:23:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, she moved there. After she sold the townhouse, she moved there.
00:23:22
Speaker 2: She moved there. Okay, but she acts a little bit fish out of water.
00:23:27
Speaker 1: She does, but she's been there for so many years. I mean, she's been going there for so many years, and she knows literally every single person there from her previous life. And her New York life. I mean, literally, it's just like New York, but sunny. It's crazy. Mm-hmm. I mean, literally, everyone is a booboo cake every night. And I live with Sonia in the second series.
00:23:56
Speaker 2: Oh, in the Hamptons.
00:23:57
Speaker 1: We're in Palm Beach, and then we're in the Hamptons. And it was two months. She's amazing. She's a great girl. All right. Then we're getting through this so much. I love this with you. Oh my God. I know. We need to do more pods together. Definitely. I have to have you on all the time.
00:24:17
Speaker 2: And I, you know, I've gotten into nerds candy. Yeah. I'm obsessed.
00:24:24
Speaker 3: Like I've forgotten about it. And I was eating those ones with the gummy things. I don't like the gummy part. So I was just eating the things off of it. And then Josh found me. He got me the box. And so now I put them in Ziploc bags. One box is only 50 calories.
00:24:41
Speaker 1: Nerd clusters, I know.
00:24:42
Speaker 2: I get just the nerds now.
00:24:44
Speaker 1: Oh, just the nerds. I mean, why do you think I eat candy? It's like a little, like satiates your appetite. It's good.
00:24:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so good.
00:24:51
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like I'm sitting over here like Cookie Monster, like, oh, oh. I mean, what?
00:24:58
Speaker 2: I just drop them so good. I'm like, we need to watch the episodes that I'll eat my nerds.
00:25:03
Speaker 1: I also am like a big fan of a Tic Tac.
00:25:06
Speaker 2: Orange. Oh, they're so good. They're so good. I'm a candy fiend. I know, me too.
00:25:12
Speaker 3: I know.
00:25:13
Speaker 1: We have so much in common. Okay, so we go to the sip and shop. Dorinda and Luann are late.
00:25:18
Speaker 2: They're late.
00:25:21
Speaker 1: Super late.
00:25:22
Speaker 2: I'm like, do y'all have producers?
00:25:25
Speaker 1: I know. By the way, to confirm, I have been on time actually early.
00:25:32
Speaker 2: You're always on time, though.
00:25:34
Speaker 1: I mean, like literally.
00:25:35
Speaker 2: Like you yell at me for being late.
00:25:37
Speaker 1: No, I mean, but I was, I used to be very late because I lived always downtown and everything was uptown. I was constantly like 20 minutes late.
00:25:44
Speaker 2: New York is crazy. Yeah.
00:25:45
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it's a sipping shop and they're totally late and they're just like, we've arrived. Where is everyone? Are we supposed to cheer for them?
00:25:54
Speaker 2: The funniest thing that I laughed so hard, Josh and I were laughing so hard when Dorinda says, you know, Lou has to like duck to get in. That's how it's so funny. Cause the visual of that made me laugh so hard, but she's so tall and like no one, she's like, no, no one's even like turning their heads to look at us. I'm like, because y'all like an hour and a half late. What do you mean?
00:26:21
Speaker 1: Literally. They were like, literally came at the very end. I know. And then Dorinda tries on a dress, that yellow dress, which is that, which is a great dress.
00:26:31
Speaker 2: I thought it was good.
00:26:32
Speaker 1: I thought it looked great. And so I'm just like, I hate the color. She needs a tan.
00:26:36
Speaker 2: I know. Lady.
00:26:43
Speaker 1: She's very outspoken on me. And she's like, this is a new Sonya that I haven't seen before. Like the other, the, the Sonya that I know her, like hair is falling off of her head. She's drinking. She's giddy and giggly, but now she's very outspoken. Oh yeah. Hmm.
00:27:01
Speaker 2: Well, I liked that dress. I thought it was really pretty.
00:27:04
Speaker 1: I did.
00:27:05
Speaker 2: Me too.
00:27:05
Speaker 1: And I thought she looked great in it.
00:27:07
Speaker 2: But, you know, blondes can wear that color.
00:27:10
Speaker 1: Right.
00:27:10
Speaker 2: Like I wanted that dress.
00:27:12
Speaker 1: But if I wore that color, I would look, my skin would look jaundiced.
00:27:16
Speaker 2: Yes. But I didn't. I think tan and that might not go well.
00:27:21
Speaker 1: Not at all. She's really pretty, I thought. Yeah. No, I love that. I love that for her. Yes. Remember when I was telling you about the rules that Ramona has, these Ramona rules?
00:27:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:27:41
Speaker 1: So at the party, someone came into the party. And how did Ramona know that someone that she didn't know was at the party?
00:27:52
Speaker 2: I don't know. She's got radar or something. I don't know.
00:27:56
Speaker 1: She's got Ramona radar.
00:27:57
Speaker 2: She's got Ramona radar.
00:27:58
Speaker 1: Ramona rules and Ramona radar.
00:28:00
Speaker 3: Ramona rules radar. And that lady, and she was not leaving.
00:28:07
Speaker 1: Oh, no, she was staying. She was going to stay. And then there was another one that came.
00:28:11
Speaker 2: Then there was another one.
00:28:13
Speaker 3: Ramona's like, bye, you can meet her another day.
00:28:17
Speaker 1: But is this like normal? I've never seen this in Palm Beach where you have a sign that says private party and people just walk into the private party. I would never do that.
00:28:27
Speaker 3: You know, I did do that. I did, like a few months ago in New York. I was desperate for a pair of shoes.
00:28:40
Speaker 2: I can't remember where I was going, maybe to the Botanical Garden party. And I was racing in there to find a pair of shoes. And it was in Manila Blahnik on Madison.
00:28:54
Speaker 3: And I kind of just walked in. And then all of a sudden I saw like girls with thangs. And I said, I am so sorry. I did not know that this was a private party. And they were like, no, please come in. And this woman came running up like, Sutton, come in. I was like, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't have any makeup on. I was like facing around town all day.
00:29:17
Speaker 2: I was like, no, no, no. And they're like, no, come in.
00:29:20
Speaker 3: So very different experience than that poor lady who was like, I'm coming in and not leaving.
00:29:27
Speaker 2: Ramona's like, no, this is a private party and you have to leave. Just let her in, you know. Who cares? Just let the lady stay. She was dressed nicely.
00:29:39
Speaker 1: Oh. my god that is so funny that's tarzan um i i have never crashed a party before but i would definitely if madonna blahnik was closed was closed to put to a party would go in.
00:29:54
Speaker 3: There i didn't know but i it worked i've crashed parties before.
00:30:01
Speaker 2: Yeah. More? Oh, yeah. Miami, Art Basel.
00:30:05
Speaker 3: I crashed a huge party. Like, I went to the next door neighbor's house to go to the back.
00:30:13
Speaker 1: Like Lauren Rittinger's party?
00:30:16
Speaker 2: It was on the water. They have incredible art. Incredible art. I don't know whose it was.
00:30:23
Speaker 1: I was with a friend.
00:30:25
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
00:30:26
Speaker 3: And they have a boat and they take the boat out at like four in the morning.
00:30:30
Speaker 1: Lauren Rittinger, yes.
00:30:32
Speaker 2: Well, I went. I went.
00:30:34
Speaker 1: Wait, how would that I know?
00:30:35
Speaker 2: I brought my own, you know, stuff, bar needs, because I wasn't going to come empty-handed.
00:30:44
Speaker 1: Right.
00:30:44
Speaker 2: I was with a friend, and he was like, Sutton, if I had known you in college, we would have had so much fun, because we had to kind of climb a wall. And I was like, yeah, I was really fun in college. If you can imagine, it was worse.
00:30:56
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, my God.
00:30:57
Speaker 2: Totally crashed that party. Like, I crashed that party. Not invited, not on the list.
00:31:02
Speaker 1: Wait, but I love that you bring your own, you know, drinks and everything with you.
00:31:06
Speaker 3: Why not?
00:31:06
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't want to, because I wasn't invited, so I was going to bring my own stuff. I'm not going to, you know.
00:31:10
Speaker 1: You're not going to wait, go to the party?
00:31:12
Speaker 2: We got, we went to, like, we'll get in. And the guy was like, your names are not on the list. So we went around. We'll see about that, mister. Say mister. I'm such a. Sutton, I'm going to this party.
00:31:28
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Well, I mean, so two women get kicked out.
00:31:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:31:33
Speaker 1: And there's one dress bought. And then there's a mispronunciation of the designer's name.
00:31:43
Speaker 3: Rule breaker is note the designer's name and how to pronounce it.
00:31:48
Speaker 1: Phonetically. Just phonetically.
00:31:51
Speaker 2: Just, yeah.
00:31:52
Speaker 3: Just, yeah.
00:31:53
Speaker 2: As the hostess. So funny.
00:31:57
Speaker 1: I'm like literally laughing so hard.
00:31:59
Speaker 2: And I love the way I'm like really like in a French lesson.
00:32:02
Speaker 1: Yes. She's like trying to tell her. She's like, and this is how you enunciate the word.
00:32:07
Speaker 2: Herve.
00:32:08
Speaker 3: Herve.
00:32:08
Speaker 1: Herve. Herve. Herve. So then Ramona's like, okay, she's like, one party isn't enough. Now we're going to go to Kima, which is this really fun place when you come to Palm Beach.
00:32:26
Speaker 2: That looks fun.
00:32:27
Speaker 1: So fun. Food is so good. It's kind of like an Asian fusion vibe. Great drinks. And it's a big, big, big restaurant. And so Ramona's like, everybody come. So I go with.
00:32:44
Speaker 1: Luann and Roger and Max and Michael to have drinks before because there was a lapse between the party and the dinner. So I was like, I'm just going to hang out with them. I'm not going to go back and change. I'm just going to hang out with them.
00:32:57
Speaker 2: And Roger and Max are so fun.
00:32:58
Speaker 1: They're so cute. They're so cute. So they're like employees. So Ramona says employees are not invited.
00:33:06
Speaker 2: And y'all are like, we're going to employees only.
00:33:08
Speaker 1: We're going to employees only. That's what I said. And so I hung out with them, and Luann's like, we're all just going to go. So we all end up going in. Everyone was like, there's only so much space at the table. Because this isn't a party for 50. This is a party for eight or whatever, how many we were. And so Michael is at the bar. And then Michael sat down. And then Luann's, you know, Roger and Max, they left. And then a friend of Ramona, this friend of mine from New York, he was there. So he was hanging out. He was actually married to one of my really good friends a long time ago. Very nice guy, AL. And then Sonia, they start asking Sonia why she wasn't nice to them. And I don't know if she was, like, drinking too many mocktails or what happened. She just got really red. Had to go to the bathroom. There was a little bit of puking going on.
00:34:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a little lost in all of that. I didn't understand what was going on. I couldn't hear. Yeah, she got upset. I didn't quite get that part. She got upset. Why'd she throw up? And why do you throw up in the sink and not in the toilet? I thought, I love you.
00:34:34
Speaker 1: I'm like, I would ruin the sink for other people.
00:34:38
Speaker 2: I'm going to throw up thinking about it, to be honest. And then when the camera went to the sink, Josh and I were like, oh my God, so gross. Oh, and the breath part.
00:34:50
Speaker 3: I just, I blew in spraying the breath spray.
00:34:54
Speaker 1: I love that Luann has emergency breath spray.
00:34:57
Speaker 2: Always carry. Well, no, I love that stuff. It's so good.
00:35:00
Speaker 1: No, me too. And I carry, but I mean, I was like, the spray, I was like, wow, she's really prepared for like.
00:35:06
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad she was because when she said.
00:35:10
Speaker 1: Well, she is a nurse.
00:35:11
Speaker 2: That's true. Always prepared. Always prepared.
00:35:14
Speaker 3: But when Sonia said, does my breath smell?
00:35:19
Speaker 2: And Luann kind of also gagged. Like, yes.
00:35:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes.
00:35:27
Speaker 2: I can smell your burp or throw up.
00:35:31
Speaker 1: Oh, I wouldn't know. My nostrils have been like fried from that. Oh, gross. So then we're all trying to like come back and be friends and have fun. Right.
00:35:48
Speaker 2: Right.
00:35:49
Speaker 1: And there's a big party and we're all dancing and like, you know, woo, yay, party time. I'm trying to, I literally was like.
00:35:58
Speaker 2: You looked so cute when you were doing this.
00:36:01
Speaker 1: You did.
00:36:01
Speaker 2: You looked so cute.
00:36:03
Speaker 1: Trying to like do whatever.
00:36:05
Speaker 2: You're like, I'm in Central Bay.
00:36:07
Speaker 1: I'm in Central Bay right now. That's exactly how I was feeling. I'm like, sink on sink. And then Sonia and Ramona start dancing with Michael.
00:36:19
Speaker 2: Okay, yes. Let's discuss.
00:36:22
Speaker 1: No.
00:36:23
Speaker 2: I have danced with Michael.
00:36:24
Speaker 1: I mean, I have never danced with Michael, but they were lifting his shirt up.
00:36:31
Speaker 2: Were both of them or just Sonia?
00:36:33
Speaker 1: I think Sonia was lifting his shirt up. Ramona was just dancing around him.
00:36:37
Speaker 2: She was just dancing. She actually looked kind of cute doing that.
00:36:40
Speaker 1: Very cute.
00:36:41
Speaker 2: Very cute dancer.
00:36:44
Speaker 3: Sonia can take it a little too far sometimes. I mean, you know, for me personally, if.
00:36:56
Speaker 2: And when, ladies, take heed, if and when I actually get a boyfriend, it will happen one day, nobody lifts his shirt up or I will take you down.
00:37:11
Speaker 1: Confirmed.
00:37:12
Speaker 2: No one picks up my boyfriend's shirt?
00:37:15
Speaker 1: No.
00:37:16
Speaker 3: I'm going to turn into one of those incredible people and dive in and be like, what are you doing?
00:37:22
Speaker 2: Hands off my boyfriend. I'm crazy like that.
00:37:26
Speaker 1: You know, ironically, all the guys that I've dated in the past, the list isn't that long, but it's long enough. They are all the kind of people that literally pull up their shirt.
00:37:35
Speaker 2: Well, they don't last that long, Kelly. No.
00:37:38
Speaker 1: There are those guys that actually pull their shirts up. And I'm like, nobody wants to touch that. No. That's the problem.
00:37:46
Speaker 2: Put it back down. Just stay cute and charming. Keep your shirt down.
00:37:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Just tell everyone how pretty they are. It's fine.
00:37:53
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. No, really. I thought that was so inappropriate. Like, Sonia, I love you. I really do. But don't do that. Like, no.
00:38:04
Speaker 1: No. I think she was just having fun, but to your point, I think she sometimes takes it too far, but she doesn't realize it. I don't think she's one of these people that's like, oh my God, I'm going to get my moment to touch him. I think she was just having a good time and she was really just letting off steam because she was not feeling well before, but it just goes too far sometimes.
00:38:28
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:38:29
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:38:29
Speaker 2: And he's got a very hairy stomach, too. Like, that was embarrassing for him.
00:38:34
Speaker 1: I thought so, too. I was like, what is going on there? But also, Luann and Sonia have this weird competition. I'm going to use the word. And I'm going to gently use that word. Okay. Okay. Saying that each other, they're like frenemies, where they're like, you're flirting with my boyfriend, and you were flirting with my boyfriend. They're very competitive with men. Very competitive with men.
00:39:03
Speaker 2: So, you know, I just read this Carl Jung definition of jealousy.
00:39:10
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:39:11
Speaker 2: And Carl Jung says that jealousy is just the lack of love.
00:39:17
Speaker 1: Aww.
00:39:19
Speaker 2: And attention. Lack of love and attention. I know. Think about that one.
00:39:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, that's a good one. Very good one. And I think that they... both, you know, require a lot of attention and are used to a lot of attention. You know, male attention. And they just go after each other.
00:39:43
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am.
00:39:43
Speaker 1: We need to give some etiquette lessons here, Sutton.
00:39:46
Speaker 2: Well, yeah. I need a refresher course right now.
00:39:53
Speaker 1: And so Luann ends the scene with, I'm your queen and don't forget it.
00:40:01
Speaker 2: Ooh. And now I have to go watch the next episode.
00:40:06
Speaker 1: I do.
00:40:06
Speaker 2: I'm like, now what?
00:40:09
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to do this with me because we're having the best time and you know, the people with me, we have to do this.
00:40:16
Speaker 2: I have questions.
00:40:17
Speaker 1: Well, so do I, but I can't ask these questions because I'm on the show with these women and they won't answer anything.
00:40:27
Speaker 2: You don't, you don't ask them anything as it's going.
00:40:32
Speaker 1: I try, but then they're like, Oh Kelly, did you not watch the scene? I'm like, Sorry, I'm not like, you know. Why not in the present, you ask? That's what I like to do. I'm a present person.
00:40:45
Speaker 2: Are you kidding? That's all we do.
00:40:47
Speaker 1: I'd like to ask you today. How did you feel?
00:40:50
Speaker 2: I mean, I hate it because I'm like, I know they're going to ask me questions.
00:40:56
Speaker 3: And I don't want to, but like, we're inquisitive here in Beverly Hills.
00:41:01
Speaker 1: But listen, if you don't ask a question to someone, how are you going to get closer? How are you going to get to know people if you don't ask questions? I ask a lot of questions.
00:41:12
Speaker 2: Next time you're with them and hairy, then you need to ask.
00:41:18
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask.
00:41:19
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:41:21
Speaker 1: Sutton, I love you. This was so much fun. Thank you so much.
00:41:24
Speaker 2: This has cleared up a lot for me, though, by the way.
00:41:27
Speaker 1: Both of us. Both of us confirmed because I have a lot of questions. I have so many questions. That I want answers to. And this has been so much fun. I'm so glad that you're joining me on The Golden Life with the recap.
00:41:41
Speaker 2: So fun.
00:41:42
Speaker 1: Tuesdays on E and streaming live on Hulu. Sutton, we love you.
00:41:50
Speaker 2: I love you.
00:41:51
