Speaker 4: never caught it.

55
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 8: So the Watch for Crappins podcast. It's a comedy pop

56
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 8: culture podcast. We focus on Bravo TV. We put out

57
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 8: a million episodes a week, usually fives maybe eight episodes,

58
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 8: and we just we basically recap everything on Bravo, every

59
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 8: single thing. But we also sometimes will do like Game

60
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 8: of Thrones, which is not unlike the Real Housewives, I'd

61
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 8: like to add. And you know, we've done like selling

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 8: Sunset or like we've sort of gone off network here

63
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 8: and there, but we're basically we're into Bravo.

64
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Wow, Bravo must love you.

65
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: You know.

66
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 8: At first, I don't think that they did. At first,

67
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 8: they just saw us as this podcast that made fun

68
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 8: of them. But then I think they realized that actually,

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 8: we like are obsessed with Bravo and they're like, oh

70
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 8: wait a second, Yeah, so I think that Bravo likes us.

71
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: Now, where did Gandhi go?

72
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: She's rolling around a nomad.

73
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 4: This is what you're gonna look like when you have

74
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: one of those old people's like what are those things?

75
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: Rascal study Cam? Okay, so when Diamond found out you

76
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 4: were coming in today. Ben, she wet herself. You don't understand, okay,

77
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: because she is our local Bravo freak.

78
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: Okay, talk to Ben. Do you listen to Ben's podcast?

79
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Of course?

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 5: Are you kidding? Ben and I just spent thirty minutes

81
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 5: talking about everything Real Housewives. I had to let him

82
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 5: know specifically Real Housewives is my thing, okay, and we

83
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: chatted it up so much that Anne looked like he

84
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 5: didn't know what was going on. But we'll save that

85
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 5: for another time.

86
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 8: I'm a light Real Housewives watcher, I would say listening

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 8: to your podcast.

88
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: I was telling Gandhi and Danielle this.

89
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: I was saying, sometimes I just listened to the podcast

90
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: instead of watching the episodes because the impressions are really

91
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: what does.

92
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: It for me? We get a lot of that.

93
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 8: Actually, we get a lot of people who are like,

94
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 8: I can't watch this show anymore, but I'm gonna listen

95
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 8: to you guys.

96
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: I'll just stay up to date with you guys.

97
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: So in a way, yeah, but you're kind of bending

98
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 4: it into your opinion of what you with what happens

99
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 4: on the episode, so it's really through the eyes of

100
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 4: you and Ron.

101
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, basically, what we do is we just like recap

102
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 8: we say this is what happened, And then a lot

103
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 8: of times we just do these ridiculous impersonations that sound

104
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 8: really nothing like the Real Housewives, but we just do

105
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 8: them anyway, and people like it and so and then

106
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 8: we like pepper it in and sometimes we get into

107
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 8: like really the stupidest arguments, like the amount of arguments

108
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 8: we get into over Summer house talking about like Tim

109
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 8: Carl Team Lindsay and like for like three months we

110
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 8: have an argument about it and we get all into it.

111
00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: But it's great.

112
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: How wife or someone from Bravo on these shows ever

113
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: confronted you? Did you ever meet them and what was

114
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: what happened?

115
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 8: We've met several of them and they are almost all down.

116
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 8: They I mean, we've never heard. We've never had a

117
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 8: face to face, you know, confrontation where someone's like, shut

118
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 8: the hell up. We have recently had an issue with

119
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 8: a real housewife. I don't know, do you guys watch

120
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 8: the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City?

121
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: Never that I do that one I do.

122
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 8: So there was a big controversy on the recent season

123
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 8: where this woman Monica, who's a new cast member.

124
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: It turns out she's pretty much like a con artists and.

125
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 8: Okay, she's like a grifter con artist, and she had

126
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 8: secretly been maintaining like a troll account on Instagram and

127
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 8: had been like harassing her castmates for like three years, and.

128
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, so it came awesome.

129
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: It came out in the season finale.

130
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 8: It was probably the best season finale, Like, it was

131
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 8: such a good piece of television. If it does not

132
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 8: win an Emmy, I'm totally soon it should be going

133
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 8: up against the Yellowstone.

134
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: But we should steal that idea.

135
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: So it was really it was just start talking each

136
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: other ahead.

137
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 8: So the rest of our castmates hate her, and so

138
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 8: what we do is on our podcast every year we

139
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 8: throw an award show and we give out awards for like,

140
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 8: you know, like best show, but also best Villain, best Newbie,

141
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 8: things like that, you know. And so we nominated Monica

142
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 8: as like best Newby and maybe maybe one or two

143
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 8: other categories best Villain. And Heather Gay, who we have

144
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 8: a relationship with. She's really cool. I'm a fan of

145
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 8: Heather Gay on the show, but she was so mad

146
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 8: that we nominated her in our fake award show that.

147
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: She she followed us.

148
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 8: Followed the podcast she unfollowed Ronnie and she unfollowed me,

149
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 8: and I'm like.

150
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: But you know, this isn't a real award show, right,

151
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: Like the award show. Isn't it called the.

152
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: Golden cra Why would be upset because someone else was

153
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: nominated for the Golden Crappies.

154
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Maybe she wanted a Golden Crappy and.

155
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: She was nominated. I think she even won one.

156
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 8: But like, listen, I love her. If she wants to

157
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 8: follow me again, she can follow me. We can, we can,

158
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 8: we cannot, we can hug it out. But I'm like,

159
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 8: are you really upset right now about the Golden Crappies.

171
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: It's no longer a fake award show.

172
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,080

185
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 8: eight I think is my favorite. I may have the

186
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 8: number wrong, but is the season where Countess Luanne got

187
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,400

Speaker 8: Countess Luanne, she went from.

193
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: Being she's a real countess, she was a real account

194
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: Her husband was a descendant of someone who created like

195
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: the Panama Canal.

196
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 7: Did she give herself the countess.

197
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: So she married into it.

198
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 8: She married into it, and she was very prim and proper,

199
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 8: and she used to be all about manners in class.

200
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,800

Speaker 8: got divorced. They got divorced, and she sort of like

202
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 8: then decided she had a whirlwind romance with this guy

203
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 8: Tomda Gassino, who is not a supermarket heir. And then

204
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 8: they got divorced, and then she decided to become a

205
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 8: cabaret singer. And uh, but then she got arrested.

206
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: You can't make it up.

00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 8: resurrected herself as a cabaret star.

210
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: And wait, wait, why was she arrested?

211
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: Then?

212
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 8: Well, according to her, she just had a few too

213
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 8: many drinks in Palm on Palm Beach at a hotel.

214
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 8: But I don't know, like there was she was apparently

215
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 8: wasted at this hotel and the staff had to like

216
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 8: call security and she was hauled. She was hauled out

217
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 8: of the hotel in handcuffs, and they have this on security.

218
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 8: She got out of the handcuffs and as she's doing it,

219
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 8: she tells the police officers, I'm gonna.

220
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:19,959

221
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: Oh, oh my god, oh time for it.

222
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: And then she goes and she's.

223
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: For a reset, countess.

224
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 8: And then she goes on camera and talks about her

225
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 8: night of incarceration and how they gave her a blowney

226
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,640

Speaker 4: drinking at that point, or she said she was stopping.

233
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: But anyway, she's my favorite housewife of all time.

234
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, yeah, yeah, no, just because that whole trajectory.

236
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 8: all about manners to now now she's like on TV

268
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: One of the biggest blow ups last year in all

269
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: reality TV was on vander Pomp with Scanna. All right,

270
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: so here we are almost a year later. Uh, what

271
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: do you know what's going on with these people? Do

272
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: they look back and laugh and say, oh, that was

273
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: some great TV. Are they all paleling around in the

274
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: background and they're all friends? Because I know there was

275
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: a lot of ship that hit the fan.

276
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,000

277
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 8: Arianna our friends at all and they never will be

278
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:47,160

00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

280
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 8: I mean I think that, Like I think what we're

281
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 8: saying on the season right now is like a bunch

282
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 8: of the castmates are like, Okay, we hate Tom Sandoval,

283
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 8: but we have to film with them, so we just

284
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 8: have to like figure this out because we're not going

285
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 8: to ruin our jobs and we're not going to ruin

286
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 8: hour show because you high five each other at.

296
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: map for me was when Teresa flipped the table on

297

Speaker 4: New Jersey.

298
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 8: Well that's classic Teresa. I mean flipping that table that

299
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 8: was Brava will Bravo will literally bring out that clip

305
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 8: the show.

306
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: Well, now, it wasn't that long ago.

307
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 4: She was a part of our show by calling in

308
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 4: to one of the Bravo people who was with.

309
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: Me and Joe Gorga, and those people were standing by

310
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: in the background.

311
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: And she was calling them like eating their ear.

312
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 7: As the interview was going on, her name popped up

313
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 7: on the phone she was calling, so I was like

314
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,120

Speaker 7: I think because she heard Melissa and Joe, she was

318
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 7: probably like, well, I'd like my you know, one equal time.

319
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 6: Like it's a whole season and we have to give

320
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:28,239
Speaker 6: all the candidate flipping a table is so insane.

321
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 5: I love it.

322
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that Teresa.

323
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 8: I mean Teresa is not a very smart person, but

324
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 8: she has given us years of great television, years and

325
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 8: years and years and years.

326
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: She is still she has still the star of that show.

327
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 8: I mean, I I'm not like a huge Teresa fan,

328
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 8: but yeah, I'm team Melissa.

329
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: To be honest, honey, I know, I'm sorry.

330
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 8: I wish I had a better hero on that, but yeah,

331
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 8: I am team I think that's I think Teresa is

332
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 8: like a monster.

333
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: Well she's a monster.

334
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: I actually made a comment Melissa was here.

335
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: I it's my dream for one day you, Melissa and Teresa,

336
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 4: when you're a bunch of old broads living down in

337
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 4: West Palm Beach. I want to see you sitting on

338
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: the front porch together, laughing, getting drunk, drinking your wine,

339
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: getting your son and being friends again.

340
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: And Melissa looked at me, that ain't happening. Okay, no,

341
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: that's tried.

342
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 4: They've been very nice to me personally when I've seen them.

343
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm like, I have to say either one.

344
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: I've heard Teresa is the nicest person. Actually, everyone I

345
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 4: know who's met or said that she is like literally

346
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: the sweetest person. But I maintain that sweet people can

347
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 4: be monsters, and I think that like she well, I mean,

348
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 4: like if you like the It's it's hard, like when

349
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: you talk about New Jersey, it's really you're on one

350
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 4: side or the other and you and you just have

351
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 4: to be on your camp and you just have to

352
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 4: defend it. And I just feel like I'm like, I've

353
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 4: looked at the evidence and I have to say, I

354
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: have to be on team Melissa on this one.

355
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: But see, Diamond, why are you on team of Teresa?

356
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 5: Teresa? Just because I think that you already said this

357
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 5: to Teresa may not be the smartest person, right, so

358
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 5: we're gonna give her a little bit of wiggle room here. Yeah,

359
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 5: if Melissa knows better, then she should do better. Right,

360
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 5: And so why do you continue to put yourself and

361
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 5: your husband at this point or allow your husband to

362
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 5: put you whatever way you want to look at it,

363
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 5: in this situation where you cannot stand his sister? Okay,

364
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 5: so why do you decide to work with her? I

365
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 5: don't get it, Like it's like, do better and Johnie

366
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 5: was there first. So at the end of the day,

367
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 5: if there's somebody who should leave the show, should be

368
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 5: the person who didn't contribute as much. And that's it.

369
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 8: Cool, Well, Melissa is definitely not as good of a

370
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 8: reality star as Teresa. But I think that we're about

371
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 8: to see the new era of Melissa, because Melissa spent

372
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 8: the past decade trying to sort of do this quasi.

373
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 8: I just want the family to be together. I just

374
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 8: want to be friends. I want my brother to have

375
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 8: as sister back. And now she's like I said, you

376
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 8: know what, I don't care anymore. I'm sick of trying

377
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 8: to pretend like I actually care about this person. And

378
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 8: I think we can get the real Melissa now, which

379
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 8: will be compleey more interesting perhaps or a hair flip.

380
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:06,680
