1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, So Paul asked me who my Mount Brushmore of 2 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: Housewives has been? So years ago, I used to say 3 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: to Andy Cohen, You've got to do an All Star Housewives. 4 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: You gotta do and he used to say, we're not 5 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: even close to there yet, but one day we will be. 6 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: And fast forward to these Ultimate Girls trips. So I 7 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: used to always just fantasize and think about who would 8 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: be on the All Star couch, who would be on 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: these all star episodes like these mashups. And Paul once 10 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: said to me, who is your amount Rushmore of Housewives? Um? 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: And I said it, and Michael Rappaport repurposed it. A 12 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: Ka stole it on Wendy Williams when I was a 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: guest and said to me, Who's your amount Rushmore? But 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: there was Paul's original material. And I know my Mount 15 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: Rushmore of Housewives by heart. For different reasons. Today, I'm 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: going to break down Teresa gu Dice. I always thought 17 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: it was jud j because of Italian I heard that somewhere. 18 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: I think I might be wrong, But why Teresa gu 19 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: Dice from New Jersey is on my Mount Rushmore. So 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: I've met Tersa a couple of times we've messaged on Instagram. 21 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: We don't really know each other. But years ago, Bravo 22 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: used to make us blog torture. The episode used to 23 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: come out, and as part of your job, you used 24 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: to have to blog, so Bravo TV dot com could 25 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: put the blog up. So you would do your immediate 26 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: and cram blogs of your episode just to get it up, 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: and you would then rehash and be saying stuff about 28 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: the people on your show, and you just did it 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: on TV, and then it would be like another rehash, 30 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: and on the reunions and in the press and everywhere, 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: they would of course pick up anything you blogged about 32 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 1: and that would become more fodder. And this is before 33 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: we were savvy, this is before Twitter and Instagram. And 34 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: so you were just writing a nice, little cute little 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: blog on the episod so that aired the night before, 36 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: and saying what you thought, you know, well, I thought 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: it was really rude of Luanne to do that, or 38 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: Son you have to do that, or Bethany to do that, 39 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: and you'd say it and it would be another rehash, 40 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: and it got to the point where I just refused 41 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: to bog. When I came back for part two of Bethany. 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: Seasons later, when I came back to the Housewives, I 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: was like, I'm not fucking blogging. I hated it because 44 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: I hated that it was more meat off of our bones. 45 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: We already where goddamn bones in in water, making stock 46 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: out of us because so much meat comes out in 47 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: the episodes, and then in the press we do and 48 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: everything is clickbait, and then now we were blogging for 49 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: more meat. You're just devouring us. So back in the 50 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: days of blogging, I don't know why, but I was 51 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: blogging other ones too, and they must have asked me 52 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: to do that. I don't think. I just thought my 53 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: ohlmost like, let's fucking go block, go fucking start fires 54 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: in other cities. But I remember blogging about Atlanta and 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: blogging about Jersey and talking about that also in the press. 56 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: And I guess if social media was around by then, 57 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Or no, maybe Twitter was U 58 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: side note. I was the first housewife to be on Twitter. Um, 59 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: so I was talking. I would say things about Theresa 60 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: or whatever I thought about spending money in cash or 61 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: whatever they were saying, or however they were saying. It 62 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: believed me. We were so politically incorrect and would say 63 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: things wrong. And we were blogging, and so Theresa and 64 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: I were doing sort of blog battles, I think, back 65 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: and forth, not like not really, but I said things 66 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: about her. I didn't know her. She was a human 67 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: being that lived in the state next to mine, and 68 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: I just was saying whatever the hell I thought about 69 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: her episodes. I was like fucking starting fires for no reason. 70 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: And then it would be semi awkward when I would 71 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: see her at like a Bravo that's the thing Bravo 72 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: Bravo wants to sort of cross promote, and a Bravo 73 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: con and these like other things. And then you see 74 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: these people that you've been asked about on Watch What 75 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: Happens Live? Like I think Andy said one time asked 76 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: Theresa question about who she liked the least or who's 77 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: something some some ship stirring thing that they do on 78 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: Watch What Happens Live, And Theresa said me, And then 79 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: she said, but she's a good mother here, which was 80 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: really nice of her to say. But like they're always 81 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: getting you to fire random shots then putting you next 82 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: to these people, so you're like, who do you think 83 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: is the worst dress housewife? And then I'm like Mickey Mouse, 84 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: and then I gotta be with Mickey Mouse at a 85 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: Bravo event because that's what they do. So anyway, back 86 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: in the day, there were there was a sort of 87 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: like slight sparring and then I'd see Teresa, but I 88 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: kind of always liked her from afar She's a good housewife. 89 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: There was sparring back and because I launched Skinny Girl Margharita, 90 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: I was the first. I wrote the first ever book 91 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: of any housewife, that's a fact. It was naturally thin 92 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: and it was a New York Times bestseller for five 93 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: months straight when I really wasn't very known. So I 94 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: was the first to write a book. I was the 95 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: first to hit the New York Times bestseller list. I 96 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: was the first and only successful cocktail really by macro 97 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: Real liquor industry standards, which was the Skinny Girl Margarita. 98 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: And then Teresa came out with Skinny Italian, a book, 99 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: a cookbook that was a New York Times bestseller, and 100 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: that was you know, a lot of people are annoyed 101 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: by that and brought that up because they thought that 102 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: it was sort of like a cheater brand and it 103 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: was Skinny Girl and I was the that it was 104 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: the low calorie chef, and then she did Skinny Italian 105 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: which was a low calorie cookbook, but that was like 106 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: a big thing. And then she launched was It a Fabolini? 107 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: Was at her with the fab some cocktail that never happened, 108 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: So that was also like, you know, after me. But 109 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: she was the first one to do what I did 110 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: successfully after me, So she was the second in that way, 111 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: but they were the second show on, and I was 112 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: the first housewife to monetize it for business. I was 113 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: just the first one to do that. That wasn't done. 114 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: That's done by everyone now ad nauseum. And that's literally 115 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: because of me, um, literally because of me, and people 116 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: that are at a different level than when I was 117 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: on would come onto Housewives and join Housewives because they 118 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: want to do what I've done. You can hate me 119 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: or love me for saying that. It's an absolute fact. 120 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: It's not my opinion, it's a fact. So Teresa's on 121 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: my now rushmore because she deserves to be there. She's 122 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: been there since day one, and she has been knocked 123 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: down and picked up. She has been through a marriage 124 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: and another marriage. She remains true to who she was 125 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: in the beginning, you know, minus paying cash for furniture 126 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: or Nate Italian Jersey furniture, minus paying for it in cash. 127 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: She still seems to be the same, Like, like I said, 128 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 1: when she got married, she has that seven layer cake 129 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: frosting hair at her wedding and you know, over the 130 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: top everything, which is great. Like she's not in France 131 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: shopping for handbated French gowns pretending she's you know, like 132 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: Victoria Beckham who you can't even see the spice girl inside. 133 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: Like she's still Teresa Giu Dice from Jersey. She's just 134 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: more more successful. She's been around for longer, and she 135 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: will say anything. She She's not one of these housewives that, 136 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: after all these years of watching it and watching herself 137 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: and knowing how the game is played, is playing under 138 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: the radar, flying under the radar and not trying to 139 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: get dirty like a lot of other housewives. Other housewives 140 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: that are super successful in other franchises don't like to 141 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: get that dirty. They'll get a little dirty, but they 142 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: won't really get dirty. Teresa will go into the mud 143 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: pit with under, with her head under. She will go 144 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: and mud wrestle and hold her breath underneath in the mud. 145 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: You know, after all these years, she still brings it. 146 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: She's not afraid to bring its' not afraid to tell 147 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: something to go funk themselves. Okay, And by the way, 148 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: Teresa was the first. I was the first of many. 149 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: Theresa was the first to give that audience something so 150 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: garganteo and I I responded to someone saying, you're up here, 151 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm down there. That was my big moment on Housewives. 152 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: Theresa flipped the mother fucking table so she gets her 153 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: first to her The first explosive moment ever in the 154 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: entire Housewives franchise, like big, dramatic water cooler, crazy, over 155 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: the top, like we've ripped moment was Teresa flipping a table. Okay, 156 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: I can say, yes, I handled you.
