Speaker 1: The thing about Rewives and the irony of what's going
Speaker 1: on is I did Rewives and it was going to
Speaker 1: be non housewives breaking down housewives and it's been successful
Speaker 1: and amazing and I love my guests and it's fantastic.
Speaker 1: Gonna ask Rob Snider or come on to do that too,
Speaker 1: comedians people. It's just a great thing. And I didn't
Speaker 1: want to be a show that was going to have
Speaker 1: housewives on we plan and God laughs. Now that this
Speaker 1: reality reckoning is happening, and by the way, it's fucking happening.
Speaker 1: Like to say that it's happening would be an understatement.
Speaker 1: So now housewives who want to have a voice and
Speaker 1: are really scared but dipping their toe in and then
Speaker 1: jumping all the way in like a Ninny or a
Speaker 1: person like a Raquel who was super scared, are coming
Speaker 1: to me and want to fucking sit down and spill.
Speaker 1: So stay tuned because there's some serious shit coming and
Speaker 1: people want to tell their whole story. And I really
Speaker 1: have realized that I really don't know any of these
Speaker 1: people where we would do anything to please and anything
Speaker 1: to get ratings and anything to be on watching What
Speaker 1: Happens Live and for them to like us and to
Speaker 1: be the favorite and to help with production. And there
Speaker 1: are a couple of pets, like Bravo pets that are
Speaker 1: on the inside that do as they're told, protect the realm,
Speaker 1: align with Andy. Won't talk to me now they know
Speaker 1: where they're being fed, because they're going to have stood
Speaker 1: up and like either said nothing or said something stupid,
Speaker 1: and they are going to be caught on the wrong side.
Speaker 1: Kelly Dodd said Bravo never forced anyone to drink. They
Speaker 1: have never poured alcohol down anyone's mouth. The irony of
Speaker 1: that statement is that Kelly Dodd was on an episode
Speaker 1: where the housewives were forcing her to drink, and Bravo
Speaker 1: aired and production facilitated it and helped plant it, and
Speaker 1: it happened. So we do forget a lot of things
Speaker 1: that happened on the show that we're on because we
Speaker 1: black it out. But Kelly Dodd was pressured and peer
Speaker 1: pressured to drink and production watched it and aired it.
Speaker 1: So that's aging like buttermilk fake news. Desmois reported that
Speaker 1: Ebanie was going to come onto this podcast. I've never
Speaker 1: met Ebanie. I don't know Ebanie. That was reported by Domois.
Speaker 1: She was never coming on, I'll give you more fake news.
Speaker 1: Next time. We'll do one fake news each time. There's
Speaker 1: another housewife that loves to go on tour and talk
Speaker 1: about my failures, my failed talk show, my failed TV,
Speaker 1: and I failed this, I failed that. I will tell
Speaker 1: you something. You need to lean into your failures. You
Speaker 1: need to embrace your failures. You need to know your failures,
Speaker 1: you need to understand them, and you need to know
Speaker 1: that without your failures, you wouldn't have your successes. I
Speaker 1: have had so many failures. I am grateful for my failures.
Speaker 1: Some of my failures were failing at something I didn't
Speaker 1: want to do, which is part of probably why I
Speaker 1: failed something that was overwhelming, a talk show. I did
Speaker 1: not want to do the talk show once it was
Speaker 1: up and running because I started and signed on for
Speaker 1: it not knowing what it entailed. And also before I
Speaker 1: was going through the most wretched divorce you could imagine.
Speaker 1: With a small child, I was holding onto so much stress.
Speaker 1: The show was supposed to be in LA it got
Speaker 1: moved to New York. We had no infrastructure. We had
Speaker 1: done a six week test with Ellen's three producers. We
Speaker 1: had soaring ratings. We came to New York. We did
Speaker 1: fine on the heels of Anderson Cooper having a talk show,
Speaker 1: which was very expensive. I think my talk show was
Speaker 1: more expensive, did better than Anderson's show. The two people
Speaker 1: that ran the studio and ran my talk show got fired.
Speaker 1: We were alone in New York, and I didn't like
Speaker 1: it because it was so traffic directing and so not
Speaker 1: freeing and so trapping and overwhelming while going through a divorce.
Speaker 1: And it failed, didn't get picked up for another season.
Speaker 1: I was secretly begging that it didn't get picked up
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to do it, but it failed.
Speaker 1: I've failed. I am a failure. I have failed at businesses.
Speaker 1: I've done stupid things like do a lunch meet thing
Speaker 1: because the partnership in Walmart deal was going to be
Speaker 1: so big that my agent said to do it, and
Speaker 1: I knew it wasn't a good idea. They wanted to
Speaker 1: take the commission and I knew, and I folded it
Speaker 1: real early because I was like, what the fuck am
Speaker 1: I doing? I've failed. You know who's failed? The Kardashians.
Speaker 1: Kardashians are failures too, you know how, they're billionaire failures. Okay,
Speaker 1: billionaire failures. Tanning, credit cards, hair products, quick Trim. They've
Speaker 1: had ten thousand failures, but you know what, they're fucking
Speaker 1: winning and I'm fucking winning because in order to succeed,
Speaker 1: you need to fail and learn from your failures. Those
Speaker 1: are case law. You learn something. Ah, you know when
Speaker 1: I failed at that, I won't do that again. I
Speaker 1: learned X, Y and Z for that, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put that into this next business deal. I make triple
Speaker 1: what I did when I was on the Housewives and
Speaker 1: I thought I was walking out of the Housewives and
Speaker 1: leaving millions of dollars on the table, And how the
Speaker 1: hell am I going to make that up? Well, you
Speaker 1: know how you make things up by freedom and by
Speaker 1: embracing your failures. So trust me, anybody who wants to
Speaker 1: out my failures, I'm not going to come back and
Speaker 1: talk about your failures. Congratulations on your failures and your successes,
Speaker 1: because that's how you win. But only dumb, dumb housewives
Speaker 1: don't know that. Sorry, not sorry. They think they're putting
Speaker 1: me down to build themselves up, and they're not. They're
Speaker 1: building me up. Look if Bethany Frankel could be on
Speaker 1: the cover of Forbes magazine, and make three times the
Speaker 1: money off Housewives, and have a podcast that gets millions
Speaker 1: of downloads every month, and has a philanthropy philanthropic effort
Speaker 1: that's done three hundred million dollars and has written ten books,
Speaker 1: and I had five New York Times bestsellers and multiple
Speaker 1: products launching. And she's been a failure, then I want
Speaker 1: to be a failure too, So thank you for bringing
Speaker 1: it up.
