1
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: Housewives Universe Lisa vander Pump. Lisa vander Pump is successful.

2
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: To me, she's very successful. She's been very smart. I

3
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: think it was Kyle who called her Bobby Fisher. She

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: plays the game of Housewives like Bobby Fisher, and why

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: shouldn't she have That's what it is. It's not necessarily

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: reflective of someone's real life entirely. So she played the

7
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: game and in many ways she won. Let's see about

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: her individual businesses. Vander Pump Sangria. I don't think that

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: that was a success. I think that that was a fail.

10
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean a ton because sangria is a category

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: that seemed like something that everybody was going to buy into.

12
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: It's very seasonal, it's very specific, and it's not something

13
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna sell hundreds of thousands of cases in. So

14
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: that's a fine grade for starting it, and not an

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: f for it not doing well. But not really necessarily

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: her fault, just probably a lack of research. Skinny Girl

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: had a Sangria Also, because just because we think it's

18
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: a good idea doesn't mean it's marketable nationwide, doesn't mean

19
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: it's year round. There are so many things that go

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: into cocktails, and all of these Housewives spirits brands follow

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: the successive Skinny Girl, so I give credit for them

22
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: following in my footsteps, jumping in and wanting to ride

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: that wave. Vandr Pump has rose, Chardonnay, and cabernet, so

24
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: it's not a massive brand to my knowledge, case wise,

25
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: but it's a no brainer and it's very smart. She

26
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: has the vehicles, she has distribution channels because she has restaurants,

27
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: So even if you only had your want on your

28
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: own restaurant, which is not the case, that would be smart.

29
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: So I'm not giving a Sangria an F. I'm giving

30
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: it a C because just because it didn't do well

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's like an F. She launched a product,

32
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: i'd say, on her wines overall, just as an idea,

33
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: a concept and a product line. I think it's a

34
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: solid BB plus vander Pump Vodka. I don't know enough,

35
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: but I know that it's not going going to pop off.

36
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: I just know enough about this business. I'm not betting

37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: on it, but I can't grade it. It's getting it

38
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: incomplete because it hasn't. It launched this in twenty twenty three.

39
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: If that single fan base that watches vander Pump rules

40
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: can push a product through. It could do fairly well,

41
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: but it won't be like a jugger, not success. I

42
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: could find out the number of cases that the Vanderpump

43
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: wines have done, but my gut is that it does

44
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: well but nothing to blow the doors off. But I'm

45
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: sure she makes a decent amount. Listen, she owned a restaurant,

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: and that's very difficult to start a restaurant, run a restaurant,

47
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: keep one open, be successful at it, be profitable all

48
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: and to then do a show with that as a

49
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: backdrop is nothing short of genius. Like she has to

50
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: just get an A for sir. She has to get

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: an a you know, for Tom Tom. I don't know

52
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: what vander Pump Cocktail Garden is. It doesn't even necessarily matter.

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: These are all really smart paris. I mean, look at her.

54
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: She's really doing a great job by opening these restaurants.

55
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if she has to be the operator

56
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: or if it's really just her brand, but I think

57
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: she's doing a great job. I think she works with dogs,

58
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: which is something she's passionate about with her vander Pump

59
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Dog Foundation. Wolf by vander Pump is a restaurant opening

60
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: this winter, Harvey's Lake Tahoe, her second Las Vegas venue,

61
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: located in the Paris Hotel. All this sounds wonderful. Her

62
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: getting another show on Hulu, like she failed at something

63
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: called the Shadow Lounge. Okay, listen, if I open a restaurant,

64
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: it would probably fail. So Villa Blanca closed during the pandemic. Okay,

65
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: that happens. Pump restaurant closed. There's been criticism of her,

66
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: like me, like everyone, of different areas of business and

67
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: different alleged scandals and things. But I don't want to

68
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: believe those anymore than I want anyone to believe anything

69
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: that comes out negative about me if it's not true.

70
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: I don't actually know enough to know, and I'm not

71
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: into gossiping or saying negative things about people. I've said.

72
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: She's you know, I think I would have given her

73
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: for sure Mount Rushmore, except that there was a lot

74
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: she didn't film. She'd got an incomplete in her final

75
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: season on Housewifs because she didn't want to film with

76
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: these people, and so therefore I can't give a Rushmore

77
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: because the Rushmore women just kind of finished it off

78
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: if they had signed on for it, and did everything

79
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: they were supposed to do, even if they hated it,

80
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: and just like sort of took the hits. And Lisa,

81
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: for her own life and possibly her own brand, decided

82
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: to bow out and didn't film as much and was

83
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: absent in a lot of a season. But I don't

84
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: even have to look at all this to say I'm

85
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: going to give Lisa vander Pump a B plus a minus.

86
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: She's not going to get a perfect AA plus because

87
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: there have been some small stains. But I think she's

88
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: done an incredible job. I think she's been smart. I

89
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: think she's on brand. I think she works in restaurants, cocktails,

90
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: making things look nice, animals. I'm giving Lisavanda Pump a

91
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: great grade at Housewives University, and she should be coming

92
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: to Housewives University to teach a course. I think she's

93
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: a great housewife, a great housewife graduate, and certainly in

94
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: the top five to ten percent of successful housewives. So

95
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: goal Savander Pump. And when I talk about the show,

96
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: vandr Pump rules by no means by being specific about her.

97
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: It's about a genre, it's about a whole animal that

98
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: I letely participated in. So Lisa vand Pump gets a

99
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: great grade at Housewives University. Keep going, m
