1
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: Housewives University. Today, we are doing a deep dive on

2
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: the artist formerly known as Countess Luanne de les Seppe. Okay, so,

3
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Class with the Countess was her etiquette book. I like

4
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: the branding. She was early on in the game after

5
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: my book. But I like the branding. I think it's smart.

6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: She was married to a count his family presented the

7
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: Statue of Liberty for the French.

8
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: I like it.

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: Bullshit cells, bullshit is everywhere. She should not be penalized

10
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: for that. As the Countess so eloquently pointed out, Queen

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: Latifah is not a queen, so she gets to keep

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: her countess crowned. Whether divorced or not, or doing drugs

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: and getting arrested, it doesn't matter. It's all classy. So

14
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: she wrote a book called Class with the Countess, How

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: to Live with Elegance and Flair. It was not a

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: New York Times bestseller. But I like the branding. I

17
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: like the name. I like the hypocrisy. I like I

18
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: like it all. I like the stupidity, I like the campiness.

19
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: I like that the gays will like it. I just

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: like it's campy. It's on brand. I'm going to give

21
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: that book decision.

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: A B.

23
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm not judge grading the actual book, which would be

24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: a lower grade, or its success, which would be a

25
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: lower grade. I'm just as a business idea for the Countess.

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm giving it a bee first record. Money can't buy

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: you class. Money can't buy you class, but it can

28
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: buy you cocktails. Okay, so that's a great name for

29
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: It's all satire, and Luanne has leaned into the satire.

30
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that like she thinks, it's like being

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: an author, and like that she's a real royal and

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: that she's a real musician. But what's real? People are

33
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: auto tuned? Who cares? Money can't buy you Class is

34
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: a great tongue in cheek wink satirical song, and it

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: genuinely doesn't matter that she's not a good singer. She's

36
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: an entertainer, she's a performer and she commits to the bit.

37
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: It's also getting a bee. I'm not judging her on

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: the quality of the song.

39
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: Who cares? I wasn't. I wouldn't be judging Tardy for

40
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: the party for the quality the song.

41
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: Either elegance is learned, it's catchy, it's she's getting a bee.

42
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: Money can't buy you Class? It might even be getting

43
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: a B plus.

44
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: Why can't we just give her a B plus A chic, say,

45
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: lev nah, that's getting a B minus. It's just not

46
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: as on brand and she's not French, but Eggs LaFrance

47
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: says she's got a subplot going with this French thing.

48
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: Let's just give it a bee. It's stupid.

49
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: I don't like she's not it's not as on brands.

50
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't think of her as French or chic. So

51
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, she's still wearing the same Jimmy Chew boots

52
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: that she was wearing the first season of Housewives. I

53
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: never saw someone wear a Jimmy Chew boot more. She

54
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: wore it every damn day with a statement necklace every

55
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: day ending. And why so she's still wearing those though.

56
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: It's not that chic. But let's go with a bee

57
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: girl code? Ouch?

58
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: Who is she saying broke the girl code because Leuna

59
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: slept with everyone's boyfriends are attempted to or flirted with them.

60
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: But if that's tongue and she I don't know, that's

61
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: that's we're getting. We're devolving now, that's a B minus.

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: That's so let's just give Luanne a solid Bee for

63
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: her musical endeavors, Oh Jesus feeling Gravanni. Okay, we get it. Well,

64
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: she's released you know what. B B plus for Luanne

65
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: releasing all these albums. Viva La Diva. She's leaning in.

66
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: It's satirical, it's tongue in cheek, it's it's very she

67
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: knows her audience. She's it's very. Bob Mackie, I'm giving

68
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: it all. A B plus give her a B plus

69
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: in her musical endeavors. No tour dates currently for the

70
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Cabaret News show coming soon, A B plus for the

71
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: cabaret life is not a cabaret, but Luanne's life is

72
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: a cabaret. She's got to be making some money. It's

73
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: not crazy. I think it was doing very well. It's

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: not that easy to fill a room. B plus for

75
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: the cabaret Countess Luanne collection clothing fail. She had a

76
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: line of betting, it's not even on here fail. She

77
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: planned to do a vodka fail. So now we've got

78
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: so We've got a lot of B pluses. But for

79
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: her entire musical career she gets a B plus, including

80
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: her cabaret, her entertainment career, and her now she has

81
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: a spin off show. It doesn't matter. It's good marketing.

82
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: She's getting a B plus for her entire entertainment career,

83
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: her clothing, her betting, the vodka she planned to do

84
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: Countess Vodka, et cetera. She gets an F. The Countess

85
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: collection of jewelry, she gets a D because it wasn't

86
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: bad branding because of her statement necklaces her Jose Rose,

87
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: she gets.

88
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: Huh.

89
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: She gets an A for effort. She gets an A

90
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: for effort in being on brand at this time and

91
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: being sober and doing phose. It's called fo se. Why

92
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: isn't it called f a u x sa phoes? What

93
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: is fo like faux show rose like she's She gets

94
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: an A for the concept, but she gets kind of

95
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: an F for the name. Wow, I thought it was

96
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: phosy like fx SC because it looks like fossy, and

97
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Bob Fosse because she's like an entertainer. The

98
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: name is dreadful. It sounds good, though phose. It sounds good,

99
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: but someone didn't go to the spelling class, so the

100
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: name gets pose. The name is gonna have to get

101
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: a C because it sounds good, it looks terrible. The

102
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: name is gonna have to get a C. The idea

103
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: is getting an A and the execution is complete bullshit,

104
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: saying so now for the season, working on the next

105
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: better they're not so that.

106
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: That's bullshit.

107
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: Something went wrong. It's a shitty partner. These ladies have

108
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: all learned, from Gretchen to Luann to everybody, licensing is

109
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: a goddamn bitch. It's not for the faint of heart.

110
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: I've been doing it for over a decade. You make

111
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: no money until you really make money, and if you're

112
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: full of fucking hot air, it's not gonna go. So

113
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: that's why most of these people have to really stay

114
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: core to like what this audience wants. You go venture off.

115
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: Nobody needs to sleep, and the count is betting I

116
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: can trust you that. Okay, So this is the concept

117
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: wasn't A The execution seems like it was a D.

118
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: That's a B.

119
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: Luanne gets a C on her rose she gets She's

120
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: now averaging that with a B plus from her entire

121
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: entertainment career. So Luen's between a B and a B

122
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: minus for her business endeavors. We got, but we took

123
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: her from an F. She had an F in one class.

124
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Luanne had an F in one class, and she got

125
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: herself up to like a B minus. I would say

126
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. How did this happen? Hold on, she

127
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: got an Let me make sure, Luanne got an F

128
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 1: in apparel and any kind of like licensing deal.

129
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: She got a C.

130
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: In her wine. Oh wait, I make be wrong. She

131
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: got an F, a C and a B plus. So

132
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: I screwed up. I didn't average in the F. Okay,

133
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: hold on, she got a B bus.

134
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: We got to call it a B.

135
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: I'll put the plus and later. I can't average that.

136
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm not a mathematician. How do you average a B

137
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: and an F. It's between a D and a C.

138
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: Sere either what's between a C and a D?

139
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: So she has a C minus in she has a

140
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: C minus in entertainment and licensing, and then a C

141
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: Luanne's business. Luanne's business grade is a C with some

142
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: failures and some strong points, so she's passing. Luan has

143
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: passed Housewives University
