Speaker 1: Housewives Universe Lisa vander Pump. Lisa vander Pump is successful.
Speaker 1: To me, she's very successful. She's been very smart. I
Speaker 1: think it was Kyle who called her Bobby Fisher. She
Speaker 1: plays the game of Housewives like Bobby Fisher, and why
Speaker 1: shouldn't she have That's what it is. It's not necessarily
Speaker 1: reflective of someone's real life entirely. So she played the
Speaker 1: game and in many ways she won. Let's see about
Speaker 1: her individual businesses. Vander Pump Sangria. I don't think that
Speaker 1: that was a success. I think that that was a fail.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean a ton because sangria is a category
Speaker 1: that seemed like something that everybody was going to buy into.
Speaker 1: It's very seasonal, it's very specific, and it's not something
Speaker 1: you're gonna sell hundreds of thousands of cases in. So
Speaker 1: that's a fine grade for starting it, and not an
Speaker 1: f for it not doing well. But not really necessarily
Speaker 1: her fault, just probably a lack of research. Skinny Girl
Speaker 1: had a Sangria Also, because just because we think it's
Speaker 1: a good idea doesn't mean it's marketable nationwide, doesn't mean
Speaker 1: it's year round. There are so many things that go
Speaker 1: into cocktails, and all of these Housewives spirits brands follow
Speaker 1: the successive Skinny Girl, so I give credit for them
Speaker 1: following in my footsteps, jumping in and wanting to ride
Speaker 1: that wave. Vandr Pump has rose, Chardonnay, and cabernet, so
Speaker 1: it's not a massive brand to my knowledge, case wise,
Speaker 1: but it's a no brainer and it's very smart. She
Speaker 1: has the vehicles, she has distribution channels because she has restaurants,
Speaker 1: So even if you only had your want on your
Speaker 1: own restaurant, which is not the case, that would be smart.
Speaker 1: So I'm not giving a Sangria an F. I'm giving
Speaker 1: it a C because just because it didn't do well
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's like an F. She launched a product,
Speaker 1: i'd say, on her wines overall, just as an idea,
Speaker 1: a concept and a product line. I think it's a
Speaker 1: solid BB plus vander Pump Vodka. I don't know enough,
Speaker 1: but I know that it's not going going to pop off.
Speaker 1: I just know enough about this business. I'm not betting
Speaker 1: on it, but I can't grade it. It's getting it
Speaker 1: incomplete because it hasn't. It launched this in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: If that single fan base that watches vander Pump rules
Speaker 1: can push a product through. It could do fairly well,
Speaker 1: but it won't be like a jugger, not success. I
Speaker 1: could find out the number of cases that the Vanderpump
Speaker 1: wines have done, but my gut is that it does
Speaker 1: well but nothing to blow the doors off. But I'm
Speaker 1: sure she makes a decent amount. Listen, she owned a restaurant,
Speaker 1: and that's very difficult to start a restaurant, run a restaurant,
Speaker 1: keep one open, be successful at it, be profitable all
Speaker 1: and to then do a show with that as a
Speaker 1: backdrop is nothing short of genius. Like she has to
Speaker 1: just get an A for sir. She has to get
Speaker 1: an a you know, for Tom Tom. I don't know
Speaker 1: what vander Pump Cocktail Garden is. It doesn't even necessarily matter.
Speaker 1: These are all really smart paris. I mean, look at her.
Speaker 1: She's really doing a great job by opening these restaurants.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she has to be the operator
Speaker 1: or if it's really just her brand, but I think
Speaker 1: she's doing a great job. I think she works with dogs,
Speaker 1: which is something she's passionate about with her vander Pump
Speaker 1: Dog Foundation. Wolf by vander Pump is a restaurant opening
Speaker 1: this winter, Harvey's Lake Tahoe, her second Las Vegas venue,
Speaker 1: located in the Paris Hotel. All this sounds wonderful. Her
Speaker 1: getting another show on Hulu, like she failed at something
Speaker 1: called the Shadow Lounge. Okay, listen, if I open a restaurant,
Speaker 1: it would probably fail. So Villa Blanca closed during the pandemic. Okay,
Speaker 1: that happens. Pump restaurant closed. There's been criticism of her,
Speaker 1: like me, like everyone, of different areas of business and
Speaker 1: different alleged scandals and things. But I don't want to
Speaker 1: believe those anymore than I want anyone to believe anything
Speaker 1: that comes out negative about me if it's not true.
Speaker 1: I don't actually know enough to know, and I'm not
Speaker 1: into gossiping or saying negative things about people. I've said.
Speaker 1: She's you know, I think I would have given her
Speaker 1: for sure Mount Rushmore, except that there was a lot
Speaker 1: she didn't film. She'd got an incomplete in her final
Speaker 1: season on Housewifs because she didn't want to film with
Speaker 1: these people, and so therefore I can't give a Rushmore
Speaker 1: because the Rushmore women just kind of finished it off
Speaker 1: if they had signed on for it, and did everything
Speaker 1: they were supposed to do, even if they hated it,
Speaker 1: and just like sort of took the hits. And Lisa,
Speaker 1: for her own life and possibly her own brand, decided
Speaker 1: to bow out and didn't film as much and was
Speaker 1: absent in a lot of a season. But I don't
Speaker 1: even have to look at all this to say I'm
Speaker 1: going to give Lisa vander Pump a B plus a minus.
Speaker 1: She's not going to get a perfect AA plus because
Speaker 1: there have been some small stains. But I think she's
Speaker 1: done an incredible job. I think she's been smart. I
Speaker 1: think she's on brand. I think she works in restaurants, cocktails,
Speaker 1: making things look nice, animals. I'm giving Lisavanda Pump a
Speaker 1: great grade at Housewives University, and she should be coming
Speaker 1: to Housewives University to teach a course. I think she's
Speaker 1: a great housewife, a great housewife graduate, and certainly in
Speaker 1: the top five to ten percent of successful housewives. So
Speaker 1: goal Savander Pump. And when I talk about the show,
Speaker 1: vandr Pump rules by no means by being specific about her.
Speaker 1: It's about a genre, it's about a whole animal that
Speaker 1: I letely participated in. So Lisa vand Pump gets a
Speaker 1: great grade at Housewives University. Keep going, m
