187. Big Announcement; A has-been reality star; Southern Charm drama; Holiday chaos

Big announcement! The Bravo and Cocktails first annual awards are happening! Listen for more details. We have words for Johnny Bananas, including Neanderthal and Bozo, to start with. And some Summer House tea that includes photo evidence. And how is Lindsay Hubbard connected to Kelly Dodd of all people? More on Kandi and Todd’s divorce. There’s more Southern Charm drama. We watched the new Vanderpump rules and will continue to watch. Speaking of VPR, where is Jax these days? And we end the show talking about how each of us has accidentally gaslit our children during the holidays, lol. 

What’s up cocktails, I am cracking myself up today. Amanda. You guys, we just spent like, a full 10 minutes giggling well, and I was like, we should probably start recording
No, because I black out. I just, Amanda will text me or email me something, and I just respond totally off subject, or, like, the wrong thing, I don’t I, I’m crazy. I mean, we’re all crazy. I’m cold sober, too, guys. She doesn’t mean blackout drunk. No, I just So, just to give you guys, I have to tell them, yeah. So Amanda sends me all the links. So there’s the pod link, and then we had a link for neutral and a link for Caraway. Those are our ads this week. Yeah, so she sent it to me yesterday, and so I realized, like, Oh, let me, let me, let her know before we record what I’m record which ad I’m gonna do, so she can do her ad before she wants to. So I write back. I’ll take quince, sit down at my desk, type up the whole quince, and roll ready. I’m like, happy about it, because it’s, you know, I got, like, some funny stuff in there, and then I go to the links and I’m like, Oh, we don’t have quinces week. And I’m just picturing Amanda opening the email where it was nutrafol or caraway, and seeing, I’ll take quince so I hadn’t seen it because I was, like, gobbling down some food before we recorded. Because, you know, an hour and a half is a long time for me to go without eating or even having, like, a piece of candy, because I love candy, all I see, like the screen pops up, is Bee’s hand and then her head shaking because she’s laughing. So I’m like, Oh, this is gonna be good, but I’m just over here cracking myself up. Oh, my God, if we don’t have laughter, what do we have? Especially at this time of year, I feel like it’s crazy busy. The chaos is closing in on us. How was your Thanksgiving? It was so good, but we both got you got sick. I got sick. We were both sick after it, so I think we party to our demo. I really didn’t it was good. It was really nice. It was a nice few days with family and just getting stuff done. I actually, like, organized my closet a little bit, like I did some good stuff, so it was good, I guess, good. That’s really good. Yeah, no, it was good. I actually had a lot of downtime because my kids were with their dad on a trip, which, you know.
Is one of the sad realities of like divorce. So I’m looking ahead at the week. I’m like, Oh, I have all this time, no kids, no driving, no whatever, and I ended up doing a lot of work. And then my spare time, besides obviously watching television, I decided I was going to spoil the one kid that we did have, which was our dog and taking videos and sending it to the kids. So we took all to go look at Christmas lights. We brought the dog home like fancy dinner leftovers from when we went for a fancy dinner. And we did a lot of that, and then we did so we did a couple of Thanksgivings, and, yeah, it was, it was actually really nice and relaxing until, like I said, like you did too, like, until I got sick. So I’m all better now and feeling much, much better and ready to take on the holidays. I can’t believe we’re already here. I don’t like looking at the day because then it makes me nervous, especially when I start to think about how I haven’t done any shopping yet. But you know what? We have it so much easier than our ancestors. We do because we order everything online. And honestly, there isn’t a time that I ever had to go into a toy store like when my kids were little. I still ordered online. So I’ll never forget, though, years ago I ordered from Kohl’s, I don’t know was popular. I mean, I guess it still is, yeah, and there was some, like, huge debacle with, like, the Northeast Kohl’s and everything came late, so I had to, like, reorder stuff, and that that was, like, the only because now, with Amazon and like, most places have like, two day shipping, it’s like, even if you’re waiting until the last minute. It’s still getting there. Well, and I always tell my friends that are younger, that are having babies for the first time. I’m like, You guys do not know how good you have it. We used to have to go in person to Babies R Us, yes. Was like a nightmare. Well, I liked it when we made the registry like that one time. Oh, I did not. And then I’m like, I don’t. What about the teledoc? Like, teledoc was not a thing until after covid, and if a baby has, like, runny nose, now, you can tell a doc from the bed with them. You don’t have to. Oh, you can. Oh, I didn’t. I don’t know anybody else in when they’re sick, because it’s always something that needs, like, right culture, right? Like it’s like it’s either food or strap and I’m gonna need to get a culture anyway, but that is good to know that you can I know everyone. There’s everyone’s luckier. Things keep getting better in so many ways. So before we share our other announcement, I just wanted to say that we are doing our cocktail party members only holiday Happy Hour zoom on Monday at seven. And so there’s a post on the site. B has posted it. We sent out an email. I also put it on Discord, so there’s lots of ways to see it. And then if you, by chance, happen to sign up and you weren’t a member before between now and Monday, just send me an email and I will get you the link so that you can join us then too. It should be a good one. And you know, like, I know, Hanukkah starts December 15. Obviously, the holiday rush is wild from about that time. So I Amanda and I were like, You know what? Let’s try to do the Zoom before the real rush. So that’s why we’re doing it, like earlier in the month. I know a lot of times we do it later in the month. So yeah, yeah, I think, but we have a really fun announcement, yes. So I’m so excited for this. Bea has announced it already on Instagram. But the other thing is, B, I text you about this today because I think your story some things come up with your Instagram stories. Because I was trying to go back to your stories to look at the categories, because I’m working on on something related to this, and I couldn’t, I couldn’t find the post anymore. So when that happens, like, close out Instagram and open it again. I do have followers that have said to me the last couple days, your stories are disappearing, I don’t know, instead of restart your phone too, I know I should follow my own advice, because that’s why I tell cocktails when they’re having issues. It happens to me with other people’s accounts. So like, I know it’s a thing, but it’s Yeah, well, we are having our first annual Bravo and cocktails awards. We are so very excited. This idea originally started from our friend. Shout out, shout shout out to stone cold daddy. He is. He’s my real life friend. He has a hilarious account. He posts a lot of funny parenting memes and just funny stuff in general. He’s a cocktail or he suggested this months ago on Discord, and Amanda and I were like, we should definitely do it, and then we didn’t. And we’re like, this is the perfect time of the year. Like, New year, new us. We’re doing a Bravo and cocktails award ceremony. I don’t know. We’re open to all of your suggestions. DM me, email us. Do we give the winners? Like, whoever wins, bravo, star?
Of the year. Do we ask for their address or PO Box and mail them a little award from the cocktails? Do we give the B, E, C of the year some crackers?
I don’t know, guys, I don’t know but we are open to all ideas, anything we can do to make this more fun. And again, this is like for us, by us, you guys are all involved. I asked you guys for the categories. You gave so many ideas. We narrowed it down to 10. We asked you guys for once, once we had the categories, you guys are picking the nominees. So I put up those boxes you’re naming, mentioning it all whichever names or scenes or dynamic duos and etc. You guys do the top five. I don’t know how many four or five. I think we’ll just kind of decide based on the category, because I think there might be some that are harder to narrow down, right? So I don’t know that we’ll necessarily pin ourselves in on this. And we’re doing all this for the first time, guys. So like we’re we’re kind of figuring this out as we go along. We’re going to open up the voting on the website. We’ll make sure that we post it everywhere for you guys to see and like for we’ll keep it open for quite a long time, at least a week, so that you have plenty of time to weigh in. Here are the categories. So first category is B, E, C, or bitch eating crackers. So for anyone who is new here and needs an explanation, A, B, E, C is an urban dictionary term that I have taken on and adore, bring help a lot. Yeah, it means someone who annoys you no matter what they do, we have Bravo, breakout star. We have best hookup, best shade, funniest scene from any Bravo show, best petty drama, biggest Bravo stud dynamic duo, biggest Bravo and cocktail scoop ever. So this is, since is our first year of the awards, we’re going to let you guys pick from all the years, and there’s been some doozies. And then we have best reality star. And we did get the question, Does this, is this just Bravo, or can there be other reality shows too? And I would say, I mean, I think the answer is yes. We, you know, we definitely talk about secret lives of Mormon wives and do recaps here on that. So just send in your suggestions, be put up the question box, and we’ll we’ll take it from there, and then we’ll announce when it’s time to vote, and then we’ll be sharing the results, I think towards the end of the month, probably beginning of the year. Ish around them, yes, very excited to see how it all turns out. I’m excited, and some of the suggestions are so good. So just because Amanda and I were sick does not mean that the Bravo gossip stops. Guys, you know this Neanderthal, Johnny bananas. I never liked him. Johnny bananas is an elder OG reality star. I’m not throwing shade. He’s about my age, so
he’s been around forever. I never liked him, even when it was like normal to be more toxic. He always stood out as an asshole. He’s from the challenge. I think he started on real world. He was on traders. He got voted off him immediately. He was on with our boy, CT. So him and CT were always rivals on the challenge you’ll remember that CT wore him like a book bag.
If you’re a challenge fan now, they’re kind of friends. You know how those things go. So Johnny bananas goes on a podcast, and it has since gone viral, but we were sent a clip of him saying that he hooked up with Lindsay after her and call broke off their engagement. Now listen, the reality is, Lindsay has been spot, spied with him. I think they have dated here and there and whatever, hung out. He went on to say, Oh, when I heard she was pregnant, I was nervous. I thought it could be mine. Thirst, bucket. Amanda, your thoughts, all right, my thoughts are mainly, and I have quite a few, but mainly, what an absolute Bozo. I kind of knew him from the challenge, and I kind of, and I watched him on the traders. I thought he was okay there. I mean, when he was only on for, like an episode, but then on House of Villains, I immediately clocked him as an F boy. I say, throw him in the garbage. First of all to kiss and tell that’s just gross. I feel like there are shades of slut shaming in kind of the way that he was talking and the way that he what he is implying by that in the very nicest of lights, this is not a gentlemanly or honorable way to act, but the worst is to call the parentage of a child into question publicly with such recklessness like straight to jail, there will be a spot open for him in prison after Jen Shaw leaves. So, you know, I think it also just reeks of clout chasing and him trying to find relevance. Lindsay posted a picture of at page six.
Article, and she literally went off on Johnny bananas. Said he’s thirsty for fame. That said it wasn’t true that they slept together, etc, etc. I mean, good for her for standing up for herself. Because, I mean, she’s not one to just sit there and be meek about it. So good for her. Yeah, and it’s totally irrelevant if she hooked up with him or not. I agree with you. I think he is looking for attention. He’s a has been reality star, and I personally think that he’s very bitter because he sort of missed the train of reality stars who, you know, when he was a reality star, there was no social media, there were no brand deals. So he is looking at these younger kids make a lot of money off their platforms, get these deals. And I just find him to be a bitter Betty. And I think he inserts himself in places where he’s not relevant, such as the father of Lindsay baby. He is not the father of Lindsay’s baby. It was, I’m gonna just say, like, look at Dylan Ephron, who kind of came out of nowhere, came on traders, and then just had the most amazing season on Dancing with the Stars. And he’s really made something out of the time that he’s had. So just because Johnny bananas didn’t before he had a chance to, in the last couple years, and he still hasn’t. And so he’s just, I think he’s just a POS person, because he’s not marketable. Like, nobody likes him like we know him. Yeah, yeah, you know.
But then this led into, like, a totally other crazy drama. So a lot of people started sharing Johnny bananas video from, honestly, I don’t know the podcast. I apologize. I will tag it if I see it just, it’s just something that kept getting shared, and somebody writes under a share of this podcast of Johnny bananas saying he hooked up with Lindsay, yeah, I believe this because she tried to hook up with my husband at a Dustin Lynch concert. And everyone’s like, what? So all you guys started DMing me this screenshot. It may have been under like Larry or, you know, somebody’s post, so I shared it because I was like, I mean, it’s just these things, just the domino effect of insanity that happens on Social media.

The girl actually DM me, and she’s like, No, it’s true. We took a picture with Lindsay because we were fans, and she was flirting with my husband and then hopped on a random guy’s shoulders. And I’m like, I don’t know the truth, but the girl does have 20,000 followers, and I do think it’s totally possible that she was just looking for some clout by leaving that comment, which we gave her. But that’s not all. That’s not all the Summer House news. So Thanksgiving weekend, we saw Amanda post a picture from what seemed to be her parents’ house. Say, My brother’s a cook or something like that. Kyle’s stories were very obviously at his parents’ house. He had one of their dogs, not both. They didn’t spend the holidays together last year, if I remember correctly, or at least we all were like, Yeah, and like, Ha, they’re not together. So that’s we all thought it was weird for a married couple, but everyone has their different family traditions. On Sunday night, following Thanksgiving, a cocktail, was walking down the street and saw him walking away from where his apartment is with one dog, the dog I guess, that he had with him at his parents’ house and a bag full of stuff. It’s just there’s so much suspicion, in my personal opinion, like, you’re bringing the dog back, you swapping dogs? Where’s the other dog? Like, it’s just when you share your life on social media and on television, we know things. We know that you walk the dogs together. I’m not a dog owner, but a lot of people say it’s very weird to split dogs like that and that going forward, and we don’t know it could have just been for whatever reason. But like, if they are split, I think you’re supposed to do it. How Katie and Tom did it with their animals, where, like, you take both, you take both. You take faith and I take both. But there’s just a lot of suspicion around their split. I stand by, we are going to see it on summer house, yeah. And then into the spin off. I just Yeah. I Why wouldn’t you spend the holidays with your spouse, especially in light of all of this? Amanda, I mean, guys, like, we’ve known about this breakup. I This is not like, I’m not questioning it. I was not shocked by this. Honestly, it’s so funny that you brought up the splitting up the dogs, that was my first reaction, because I’m like, It’s really sad that they’re splitting up the dogs. Because the other thing is, too is like, when you have more than one dog, you don’t take just one dog on a walk. Like, right? That is not a thing that you do. And I will say that it is. So I was like, sad for the dog, but I don’t know that it is always healthier to do what Katie and Tom do, and Katie and Tom seem to be able to work it out really well, because they’re okay with each other or being in each other’s personal space. But if Kyla and Amanda, either of them, are not okay with that, and don’t really want to have a weekly or other every other week drop off, it might be. And also, they live in New York, where you’re going to have to take either a pet Uber or figure out a way to put the dog in a bag, to take it on the subway. It might be more practical. And sometimes it isn’t better for the dogs to have to live in two different households. It’s not always better for the two dogs. So I will say it might not be the best situation, in their case, to try to do a dog custody share situation. So then what do you do? I think you would split them up. But I mean, oh, you would give like, Kyle gets Kyle gets one, Amanda gets one. I do not see Amanda doing that. Then why would Kyle just have one? It doesn’t there’s no reason I can think of. Maybe just like, temporarily, that’s what they’re doing. But why? There’s no I can’t I literally can. I feel like Amanda, this is all made up in my own head, but here’s what I think. I think Amanda finally pulled the plug, and she’s trying to be amicable, and she and Kyle was all like, you’re gonna have both dogs. And she was like, Okay, take a dog. Take a dog for the weekend. This weekend, just to keep the peace, you can take a dog.
Yeah, I don’t know that’s an ongoing thing, that they would split the dogs up. I really unless one of the dogs is sick or something like that, you know what I mean. But if you’re perfectly happy and not separated, why wouldn’t Amanda just have both dogs and he’ll see my dogs on Sunday Exactly. He’s not as devoted as she is. I don’t think to them. I agree, and I would would really hope he’s got somebody in his building that can go in and he can pay to take the dog out on walks and things like that when he’s doing his late night DJ gigs or whatever the heck it is that he does until three in the morning. Not that I’m judging, because that sounded really judgy. Okay, so, But wait, there’s more. Feel like an infomercial person. So we got us some information from a source that told us that Lindsay Hubbard is seeing someone, and you’re never gonna guess who the guy is, that she has a connection with another. Who the Bravo leberdy Is that she that this guy has a connection with Kelly Dodd. Kelly Dodd, so his name is Frank, and he runs a company called Manhattan milk. I guess they call him like the milk man, and he is a real life milk man, because the company actually delivers milk to people’s anywhere based in Manhattan. Yeah, it’s called Manhattan milk, and we hear that he and Lindsay were seeing each other. We don’t know if they still are necessarily, but around the time of bravocon, well, we also heard that she hooked up with Austin at bravocon. And Austin was at an event yesterday with some other Bravo labs for raising canes. And, you know, page six, was there interviewing, and he said, Oh, I’m they were like, how was it seeing summer house? He’s, like, it was fine for me. I reconnected with Lindsay and, like, made this face. I mean, another one, like, poor Lindsay. Can this girl hook up and, like, have it be her own freaking business. I’m really one to talk, since I’m talking about her hooking up, but, like, the guys don’t need to say it all right, exactly, in any event. But again, doesn’t mean she’s exclusive with the Manhattan milk man. I honestly so the source sent me this and sent me a picture of the guy. I immediately remembered, like the milk thing. I forgot that it was an actual Milk Company. I’m told she was introduced to him by Andrea Denver. Remember, Andre is friends with Lindsay. He was on the spin off. So I’m thinking Manhattan milk man is probably also a model. I think that because Andre is a model, so that’s how they would know each other, unless maybe Andrea did modeling for his company. The guy’s also very good looking. I remember him being an odd duck. Anybody with Kelly is a red flag, period. So again, I don’t remember specifics about Kelly Dodd’s milk, man, boyfriend, because this was many moons ago on Orange County. Hmm. He is very cute. He’s cute, yeah, like red hair, beard, longer hair, at least in the pictures that I saw, and if she was dating him, like up around Bravo con filming on the spin off ended right as Bravo con started. Oh yeah, means we’re gonna see him. Oh yeah. So on the Show,

Toyota, Toyota, vayamos junto basado los fabricantes apartida dia veinticinco, one sweet, melty bite of a HERSHEY’s Bar, and suddenly I’m right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn’t say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine year old wants to say, and she replies with a low

Hi, I’m Dr Jake Goodman, host of beyond the script, the podcast where I sit down with pharmacists to answer the health questions you didn’t even know you could ask at the pharmacy counter. In this episode, we are diving into gut health with CVS pharmacist Victoria Mottola, who explains why so many of us live with stomach issues we should not accept as normal.
A lot of what I see is just like chronic bloating, chronic stomach aches. Like I get a stomach ache every time that I eat, and it just becomes like a lifestyle where, oh, yeah, you know, I just, I have a stomach ache every day, or I’m constantly feeling like gassy, and all of those things are not something that, generally, if you have a healthy gut, you should be living with. So that’s when we deep dive, we deep dive into your medication. We deep dive into your OTC medication, and then at that point, we can probably identify something that we can change.
Hear the full conversation, plus some fascinating facts about how gut health affects so much more.
Than just your stomach on beyond the script a podcast from CVS pharmacy and I Heart Radio. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
I’m sure you guys saw that viral video that is going around that Kelly Dodd’s daughter, speaking of Kelly Dodd, who we try not to speak about honestly, her daughter posted a video of Kelly just saying the most disgusting things to her daughter. A lot of you guys wanted to know why I didn’t share it to my social media, and I probably wouldn’t have even discussed it here. It’s just a coincidence that we happen to be talking about milkman, who is a connection to Kelly Dodd. The reason I didn’t share it is, first of all, I saw it on Thanksgiving, and that was not something I wanted to share on what is meant to be a peaceful, nice day. And I just, in a general way, feel terribly for Kelly’s daughter, Jolie, and I try not to share a thing. There are certain people I don’t promote, and she’s one of them, yeah, yeah. I mean, I’m glad you didn’t post it. I didn’t see it. I don’t really, I don’t even want to know. I just My heart goes out to Jolie, and I hope she’s doing okay. So last week, when we talked about candy and Todd’s divorce, we discussed that on candy and Todd’s Wedding Special, they had a separate camera crew film. Well, like it was not for the special, the lawyer Candy’s lawyer had a separate camera film Todd’s signing the prenup so that they had their own record of him, saying that he was not being forced to sign it and that he wasn’t under duress. And that clip is circulating. You’re welcome, everybody. Yeah, actually, to be fair, you did cocktail or brought it up to me, but we spoke on it, and I would say we had something to do with it being dug up. And the attorney asked him a series of questions, like, very intricate. And he very, you know, yeah, he well answered them. He did, and he’s so he has now, I mean, you literally did predict it, because he’s now filed a legal response, and he is claiming that he did sign it under duress, and that his attorney wasn’t present when he signed. So let me just kind of go back through and share what he put in his legal response to her filing divorce, and then we’ll kind of come back to this. So he asked for primary physical custody of their two kids, Ace who is nine and Blaise, who is six. He’s, like we said, challenging the validity of the prenup, saying that he did it under duress. So he says that the kids are living with Todd while candy handles out of state work obligations, and that he is pursuing primary custody, joint legal custody and final decision making authority if the parents can’t make a deal, so his he’s essentially saying, if we can’t make a deal, I’m gonna go for all of it with the kids. But his filing also said the parties have been working cooperatively in an effort to resolve all issues, and Todd remains committed to continuing those discussions in good faith. Okay, blah, blah, blah. Every divorce statement says that whatever it does not though attack candy as a parent, so it does expressly call her a loving and capable parent, and Todd says he hopes they can resolve matters in good faith. As we said, the filing lays out the groundwork for a bigger fight over money if the prenup is thrown out. So Todd alleges, like we said, that he was pressured into signing the prenup because he didn’t have a lawyer present, and that the circumstances raised substantial questions about the contract’s enforceability. If the prenup is thrown out, Tucker says that he will seek an equitable division of marital assets and could pursue alimony. So this has all happened pretty fast, because if you’ll remember, the candy’s filing came on November 21 Todd’s response came the week after her filing claims that the marriage was irretrievably broken with no reasonable hope for reconciliation, Candy asked for joint custody, claiming it’s what’s best for the kids. Apparently, Todd and candy did get together over Thanksgiving, which tells us, at least that they’re being civil and we read that this under duress argument is actually pretty common, but in order to prove it, there’s a really high burden of proof to do that. So the day after that, Todd found his response. Candy asked the judge to steal all divorce records, saying it’s in best interest of the two kids, which I agree with. I mean, we like the gossip, but I agree with that, and that all the financial information also be kept confidential. I think they’re probably going to get their way. I.
Hope so, yeah, pod is really trying it. I mean, we said last week on the pod, and I said that I thought this was certainly possible, but I was hope, hoping that he wouldn’t, because I think it could make things contentious very quickly to ask for full custody is clearly, in my opinion, about money. He is trying to establish himself as the primary parent. That is bullshit. She shouldn’t suffer because she’s successful, I think joint custody with an agreement that understands that she may be out of town. I mean, top so as I’m thinking this all through Amanda, I’m saying to myself, well, Todd has projects out of town too. Now I’m then I thought to myself, you know, self, I don’t know, you know, it could have something to do with the fact of him predicting not being included going forward. You know, he was a co producer on Candy’s Broadway shows, and all of these kind of things. I’m just using Broadway as an example, but there are many business ventures, and I guess what I’m getting at is that he’s predicting that as a result of their divorce, as time goes he’s going to get cut off from future opportunities. Yeah, of course he is. And so he’s gonna make it like she’s traveling, when you know they were both traveling. So, like, I have to as I was, like, thinking this, right? We’re all thinking this out. People don’t want to work. And I’m not saying that he wasn’t an asset to her, but at the end of the day, they’re Candy’s deals that she let him be a part of, she’s not going to want to work with her ex husband, especially if any of the rumors are true, and we’re going to get to that after we tie this up like I’m not saying there aren’t situations where he could have opportunities based on his work experience over the duration of their marriage, but she’s the primary contact people are going to reach out to candy, and she likely won’t be employing her ex husband. He’s very career driven himself, so I think there’s a lot of behind the scenes stuff that we don’t know that I hope, to your point will be sealed. You know what I mean, like he’s fighting and contesting, and it’s not just about what they have. It’s also about future. Ha, she’s, she’s in a pickle man, because she’s got to not only keep it like cool with him, but she’s also got to kind of worry about him throwing him some bones. Career wise. He’s like,
I mean, okay, first of all, nothing about the surprises me. I think candy is an exceedingly smart woman. Her lawyer was very smart to take their own video of him signing the prenup. I would could see Todd making the argument while we were doing this show. The whole show is about the wedding. If we didn’t have the wedding, you know, I could, I don’t know about legally, but I could see a compelling argument with that right? As a parent who has been divorced, I can see the strategy coming in from both sides. I could see, and I’m not saying this is what’s going on. I could see Todd going in for full custody for of the kids as a play, is what he’s saying in the filing is, well, if we can’t come to an agreement, I’m gonna go for full custody, right? So it’s pretty clear that’s sort of his play. He knows he won’t get it because candy is a really good mom, and he even says so himself. And guys just remember that joint custody can come in many shapes and sizes, so not necessarily what you see a lot of families do, which is two days, two days, five days, you know, whatever it is, two to five or week on, week on, it can look a little different than that. I think him going for final legal decision making is wild because, again, you shouldn’t there. That should be a there should be a joint decision. In my mind, I think candy is probably as a result of all of this, taking a really hard look at her work life and looking at how she can either reduce her travel or make the travel time a little more regimented so that she can physically be there when she has her kids. And I can tell you that because it’s exactly what I did is I went through my divorce, and I do not regret it in the slightest. He knows this, but like, I am really, really trying not to travel when I have my kids, if I have my kids, I say no to going out with my girlfriends, and I in like, unless it’s something that’s like a once a year event that I say no, because when I have my kids, I have my kids, and I have a feeling candy is going to be that exact same way. I just hope they really are and continue to keep it civil. I know I always say this about every divorce, but it’s true, because the kids, the kids are really who could possibly suffer, hopefully they won’t. And because not all kids, I say this, you know, like, not all kids have to be effed up because of divorce, right? Like, right? You can do it in a really healthy way, as our friend Michelle has come on and said, too, 100%
and to add to this, there was.
Random rumor floating around a picture of Todd with a attractive woman pregnant. First of all, Todd looks younger in the picture. I don’t believe it’s a recent picture. First things first, Todd is a businessman. Todd is not going to be posing for pictures with a woman he impregnated whilst he’s trying to get more money out of this situation. So that’s number one good point, if Todd has a woman pregnant, I am not saying that it’s not a possibility. I am saying that whatever picture that is is not the woman.
I say it’s a possibility because it’s if you’re a member of our cocktail subscriber site, there’s a well, well documented pattern of him doing things that appear to be cheating. Andy has things are out there now that are not being shut down by candy, that are saying that he was texting and speaking with women behind her back. The behind her back point is a very good point, and I think this is another reason she want the divorce sealed, especially from the children. Every marriage is unique and has their own rules. And I think in their case, there were situations where they did have whatever situation where they brought in third party. I think behind her back piece goes to show that, like, okay, although we did do things together, he was doing this without my knowledge, kind of thing. So I think there’s that she then, yesterday, posted a video with old pictures, and she had this long quote, and she was like, I’m not normally like this, but I want everyone to know that in every one of these pictures, I was going through the hardest time of my life. There’s more to this. I don’t know if he had a steady girlfriend. I don’t know if he did, in fact, impregnate somebody again, that I don’t believe that that picture is the person, but I think there is a huge betrayal here.
And I think her posting all of that is kind of saying, like, listen, nobody I understand that he wrote, I’m not saying she’s a bad mother, but you’re basically like, I’m better. I’m going to be the primary. She’s too busy with her job. It’s infuriating.
One Sweet, melty bite of a HERSHEY’s Bar, and suddenly I’m right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn’t say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine year old wants to say, and she replies with a low
listen. So we sat there listening. That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full Hershey’s. It’s your happy place.
Hi, I’m Dr Jake Goodman, host of beyond the script, the podcast where I sit down with pharmacists to answer the health questions you didn’t even know you could ask at the pharmacy counter in this episode, we are diving into gut health with CVS pharmacist Victoria Mottola, who explains why so many of us live with stomach issues we should not accept as normal.
A lot of what I see is just like chronic bloating, chronic stomach aches. Like I get a stomachache every time that I eat, and it just becomes like a lifestyle where, oh, yeah, you know, I just, I have a stomach ache every day, or I’m constantly feeling like gassy, and all of those things are not something that, generally, if you have a healthy gut, you should be living with. So that’s when we deep dive, we deep dive into your medication. We deep dive into your OTC medication, and then at that point, we can probably identify something that we can change.
Hear the full conversation, plus some fascinating facts about how gut health affects so much more than just your stomach on beyond the script a podcast from CVS pharmacy and I Heart Radio. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

as a woman who he was so attracted to Her success, and now he’s he’s weaponizing that against her, and it is infuriating. I have never in my long legged life seen a man be villainized for being successful, and every freaking time it’s done to women, it makes my blood boil. Yeah, it’s such a good point. And I think the other message in Candy’s posts that really resonated is, you know, check on your strong friends. Yes, and it’s so it is so true because, you know, we’ve talked about this, but the things I have seen, and I’m not talking about my own divorce, which I think was relatively amicable in with.
People getting it is it is insanity, and it is so true. Check on your strong friends, because the people who look like they have it all together don’t necessarily, and might be going through some horrific things, but still smiling and showing up for everybody else throughout the whole thing. So candy, I hope you know we’ve got we’ve got you back, and we’re rooting for you 100%
so Okay, let’s switch gears. We’ve got some southern charm drama. So you guys might have seen this in the last week that Taylor, who used to be chef’s girlfriend, was on and was is a former cast member of southern charm posted on Instagram saying that Sally had a secret boyfriend all throughout filming this last season, and she was chasing after Craig, and we’ll see you later in the season, Austin, and also either I was unclear by Taylor’s post, If she met the same guy, that is the secret boyfriend, or a different guy, but she got a doctor to leave his wife or her So Sally then hits back saying wild how strangers can confidently state facts about situations that they’ve never been in and people they don’t actually know. So she then denied that she’d been with a married doctor. She says the only doctor I’ve ever been involved with was my ex fiance, and he was well out of his marriage when I met him. Secondly, I did not have a boyfriend when filming this season, the person making these accusations needs to shut their mouth before I open mine. Will Sally, call us, DM us, send us tea. We need to know what you have on Taylor. Of course, we’ll make it a non I mean, you guys all know I am not a fan of Taylor. I don’t think she’s a girl’s girl. I don’t necessarily think Sally’s a girl’s girl, but in the case of Taylor, she’s just pissed she’s no longer on the show. And just so we’re clear, the reason that Taylor is no longer on the show is because her boyfriend, Gaston, doesn’t want to film. She doesn’t have much of a connection to the cast, and with him not wanting to film, they just were not interested. We know that these shows like to keep a lot of single people. It’s funny because I received an email the day before Taylor said this. That said Sally, Sally had a boyfriend during filming. Yeah, I can tell you, because my Charleston folks are supreme, is that she did have a guy that she’s very on and off with, but the person said they wouldn’t say it was her boyfriend, but she definitely was in like, a situationship with this person. But like, when you’re single, a lot of people are a lot of people go have a person that they hook up with and date, but they’re not exclusive. I wholeheartedly believe that Sally really wanted Craig or Austin, or really any good looking Bravo guy, so that she could be in a power couple. I think she’s actively seeking that. So bravo fellas. Captain Sally yes to I think it’s possible that Sally cheated with a married man. Yes, Sally is great TV, but I would call her anything, but like your girl’s girl, it’s just Taylor’s looking for relevancy. We have a couple of sources who, separately from this situation, reached out to say that Taylor’s boyfriend Gaston cheats on her,
and that’s the reason he didn’t want to film and that he cheats on her slickly, so like he doesn’t cheat on her with locals, because we know that Charleston’s a small town, but like, bachelorette parties go there and just, you know, when people are in town for the weekend, hot young things at the bar, he’ll cheat with them. He hooks up when he goes on guys weekends. So I don’t know if he gets away with it. I don’t know if Taylor has an idea of it. Taylor girl, maybe you want to dig a little deeper. I think she might find out he’s a big fat cheater. I sent you this screenshot because I was dying laughing at one of the comments, which, by the way, if you guys don’t read the comments section on our website, you really should. There’s so much gold in there, so much so I one of the cocktails posted on that post about gastro and cheating. So you guys remember the beauty and the bees song, no one blinks like Gaston. It’s like, no one’s quick as Gaston, no one’s sick as guns Gaston, no one’s incredibly thick as Gaston. Comments like, no one shits like Gaston.
Giggly. I found it and like, I had to go back and listen to the song again. It was so fine. I was, I love it was shy to Kelly. I didn’t catch it, but when b would be when Amanda sent it to me, I was like, I dying. Yeah, the comments are so good, you guys. You’re not in the comments. You need to be there. They are, really, are so good. So okay, so new Vanderpump, the new cast members are obviously younger. They’re, you know, more recently hired at star. I think one of them was saying they worked there for like, two years. Well, the one girl’s been there since like, a while, yeah, Demi, she’s a manager now, yeah. So they seem to still be, like, on the on the come up, for sure, you know.
And have their own things that they’re kind of, kind of chasing. But like feels, as I was watching, I was like, this even feels like original Vanderpump, like the lighting even is, like, I think they’re doing it on purpose. Like, you’re like, the lighting isn’t as good. It looks a little more like, a little less logic. Yeah. So, you know, some interesting personal lives we’ve got, you know, friendships and relationships. And I was cracking up at that, I’m Shane Davis. Like, that guy, like, he’s very cute, but I’m like, so a guy came, I was like, Hey, I’m Shane Davis. He’d be like, wait. And the funny thing, Marcus said that his laugh was sexy, and then on Watch What Happens Live. And he was like, What is sexy about that laugh? It’s awful. It’s the most unsexy. It’s like a Beavis in my head. Like,
so bad. That guy is the perfect example of somebody who’s good looking, but like, nobody likes. Like, not nobody likes, but like, nobody like, he gets friend zones, because there’s something about him that he doesn’t have any swag, whereas, like, is, yeah, my friend, I have to tell you really quickly, my friend dated somebody like that when we were in our 20s. Like, super good looking, but like, none of us could stand him. He was so I he was, he was a male B, E, C, in in real life, for being my 20s. But like, this guy is that guy who’s so good looking, and then you’re like, ooh, like, when you walk in, and then he comes over and talks to you, and you’re like, Absolutely not. I bet that guy has a lot of first dates, yes, and not a lot of second ones. And the guy, Marcus, I think, is the kind of guy that will grow on us, yeah. Like, I don’t like, when you first see him, you’re like, not that. He’s bad looking, but he’s not like, you know, he’s got a classical like, yeah, he’s he’s definitely got an interesting look. But I like his I like his personality, though, I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised. I obviously planned to tune in regardless, because I have to check it out. Yeah, I didn’t know really what to expect. I thought it was pretty good chaos. I thought it seems like they actually hang out. Real connections, relationship drama with Marcus and Kim Natalie seems absolutely wild. I loved Venus. I think he’s gonna be a breakout star. The cute blonde guy with the bad laugh, is that Shane? Is that his Shane Davis, or you can have his name wrong. I know I’ve been doing number Yeah. And those two guys that are half cousins, but like, look alike. Yeah, that one doing the Robert De Niro impression. They are so corny. I read and I you guys, i This might even been from our own site. And if it was, I apologize but that they both had been on other reality shows. That was a comment on, on, yes, okay, it was on our site. Yeah. Well, one of the guys said, he said, when they were like, in one of his confessionals, that he was on a couple dating shows. But here’s my thing with Van der palm, they’re bartending and working as waiters as they pursue fame. So yeah, they’re gonna go on reality shows. They’re gonna do whatever. Yeah, only fans, I think at least one of those two cousin twins. Yes, is on only fans as well. From what I read, I’m not on it. They kind of, if I had to guess, they’re like, the Tom and Tom, like, they’re supposed to give those vibes. And they kind of do, yeah, like, esthetically, they’re cute, but they’re like, and then they’re gonna end up with some, like, cool girls, the way the toms did. And you’re going to be like, Why are these girls with them? But they are, dear winter, Toyota can’t get enough of you because Toyota’s got 25 vehicles with available all wheel drive and four wheel drive, and that’s more than any other auto brand, from the versatile rav4 to the svelte crown, the sleek Camry all wheel drive, the Corolla hybrid all wheel drive, the rugged Tacoma, the tenacious tundra and the spacious grand Highlander with all wheel drive to keep you and yours safe. Hey, you bring the action. We’ll bring the traction. Toyota, let’s go places based on manufacturers websites. As a 1020, 25
speaking of Vanderpump Rules, we got an email. Jax is Mia. He’s been MIA for a couple months. No posts, no Thanksgiving. Get together, radio silence. I’m hearing he’s back in treatment. I say, Good for him. I also, I also just know that this is all a ploy to get on the next season. I mean, I hope it’s true. I hope that he actually goes to real rehab. I hope that he gets not just help for substance abuse, but for anger as well. I mean, the holidays are really hard time of year for people with substance abuse issues, so hopefully like he’s getting refuge as well, and maybe getting away from all of the craziness that he he probably needs to do, and giving him the benefit of the doubt, I’m just gonna say hopefully he really is getting hope this time, versus it being a play. Yeah, I’m with you. I’m trying to open up the post, but I saw now.
Flicks officially dropped the trailer for that show about the wacky ladies from West Palm Beach. Yes, I actually have it open. Yeah, we’ve been hearing about this since March of 2025, so this is almost a year. Yeah, it’s Yeah. I mean, we’ve been hearing, I think I feel like we’ve been hearing about it for longer. Yes, so it and now, seeing the trailer, it looks very housewives esque, right? You’re in the pose of the women, and the women saying, like, we live a very elevated lifestyle, and it’s rich, but yes, we have everything we could want, but what we really want is power. And I’m like, Oh, this feels like first season of New York, kind of and so what we heard was that in the midst of filming the reality house, The Real Housewives of Palm Beach style show, it was never slated to be on, bravo, we never said it was. They said something’s off the behind the scenes. Chaos is palpable. The cast is struggling to find chemistry. Filming at exclusive spots has proven more difficult than anticipated. I noticed in the trailer it looked like they’re basically exclusively in their houses. Because if you’re in real West Palm Beach, real Palm Beach, where they are, they’re not letting you go in to the country clubs. So just as an example, somebody that lives in Jupiter said they were filming there. They were spotted at one of the restaurants, yeah, well, and I’m not dissing Jupiter, but Jupiter ain’t West Palm Beach. No. Jupiter is very fancy, though it’s very nice, but the show is about West Palm Beach. Why are you filming in Jupiter? Because they’re not letting you in. You may be a member of the country club, honey, but everybody else there is rich too. The funniest was, we got intel on one of the women. And you guys will remember this post because it was she has the audacity of Ramona and the libido of Luanne. So it said, I know someone on the cast they film for a season, supposedly going to Netflix. All true piece of work made for reality TV, lots of money from our ex has been the audacity of Ramona, the libido of Luanne. I love it. That might be the woman who, there’s one of them is married five times. I’m gonna guess, yeah, that’s who that is. But I have no inside knowledge of that, just based on the trailer that I literally watched today. So it’s on December 29
and knowing the way Netflix usually works, they’ll probably launch quite a few episodes at once. So we’ll have some stuff to do over the New Year. One guy, by the way, there is, there is, sorry, I didn’t mean interrupt. UB, there is a master post called all the tea on the West Palm Beach show. So you can read back to all the other all the posts that we have posted about that show. Yes, I made a master post. Another source told Us, while they were filming, that the person she knows is a low level wannabe socialite that no one actually knows. So I am definitely tuning in for the first episode, and I hope it’s good, because I like watching these kind of things. But also one of the women’s one of the women is friends with Jill Zarin. Again, none of this is a shock. Jill Zarin might be rich, but she’s also very thirsty. You know, when there’s not real when there’s not real chemistry, and like the people don’t actually know each other before, you can tell I was just telling offline B and Tracy that I had been when I was sick and napping, I had turned on Real Housewives of Vancouver, because back in the day, Comcast used to have all of the other country, or most of the other country, Real Housewives on. So I had seen Real Housewives of Melbourne, I had seen Real Housewives of Cheshire, and really liked those shows. And then so I’m like, Oh God, I Vancouver. I hadn’t seen and I am a few episodes into the first season. And you can tell those women, like, maybe two of them actually, really knew each other, and the mother daughter are, like, fully, fully on, like, looks like there’s cue cards off camera. They’re following. It’s, I am not enjoying it. And I just feel like you can tell when they’re when they try to watch that you’re not enjoying Vancouver. I’m not enjoying Vancouver. I watched it. I watched the first two episodes, and I stopped. I was not enjoying it. I want to tell you that I didn’t even forward it to you because I took a poll in my channel. So on Instagram, I have a channel where I can do like polls and stuff. It’s free. You guys can join it. Two of the stars from Vancouver, whose names escape me,
publicist reached out to us, and we’re like, Hey, Oh, Mary zilba and Jody klamen, okay, so Mary is the ex pop star, they’ll kind of push over, okay, and Jody is the kind of overbearing one who wore the tiara and who has the daughter that I was.
Was talking about who had the really fake scene. Maybe it gets better, because they did do a second season, but I think I’ve gotten three or four, maybe through episode three. Well, they wanted to come on our podcast for an interview together or separately. I pulled it and I the options I gave were Yes, interview them, maybe give them a few minutes or no, and it was either maybe give them a few minutes or no. So I didn’t even both. Even bother writing the woman back, because they still filming the show for this time. It seems like it was not, I was just, it looks like what the press release said was, with it back on peacock and the like, reignited interests. So I think they’re trying to and good for them, like, yeah, you know, give it the old college try. But since it’s now airing on Peacock, I guess these two women have their PR people reaching out to us to try to get them some fame, which makes sense. But unfortunately, the cocktails aren’t interested. Yeah, in the inbox right now, according Palm Beach, according to the press release of the new Palm Beach show, several of tasha’s friends make an appearance this season, such as Real Housewives of New Jersey star Theresa judici. Oh, check that out. Oh, well, that would fill in with my whole theory about Teresa looking to go to Miami and be on reality TV theirs as backup if Jersey didn’t work out. So that would make sense. Look at that. Look at that. We love you guys. Don’t forget Monday night, 7pm Eastern. We are doing December 8. We are doing a cocktail party, happy hour. Zoom. Can’t wait and hope everyone just remembers. We put this in the newsletter also. Oh, by the way, if you guys aren’t getting the newsletter, sign up for it. We have a lot of really great stuff. We always do a shout out to one of our cocktails, one of their businesses, or if they run a nonprofit. We, by the way, I think we inspired Hannah and Paige, which is super exciting, because I get and love their newsletter. Yeah, and this week, they started highlighting small businesses, which is the first time I’ve seen it. Yeah, we’ve been doing it since we started. About when did we start that? January last it was, it, is it only I feel like it’s been, I should go back and look, I don’t I say that, because I’m pretty sure I was in Nashville when the first okay, but yeah, definitely sign up, but put this in the newsletter from us, like, just remember to take a little time for yourself, because I know this month feels manic, no matter whether people like what, whatever religion, there’s All these school obligations and family obligations, and just remember to take a little time for yourself and to give yourself a little grace first, because I think that’s really hard for so many of us to do, because we want to make things magical and perfect, and remember what to do with the damn elf every night, just give yourself a little Grace. I have, like, so much tenseness in my neck. Speaking of self care, I need a massage.
Get one. Do it follow? We need to follow our own device too. Like, yeah, be gentle with yourself. Guys. Enjoy like, it’s so hard to and I think, I think a part of it is, as we get older, it’s this feeling of like, of course it is a joyous season. Of course it is, but it’s also, we also still are running our whole lives. And now this is, like a huge thing added on it, and it’s like a mostly fun thing, but then it’s first of all an expensive thing, because buying presents is, I know that that’s always a concern. You’re for me, I’m like, Oh God, this is going to be an expensive month. And just, you know, family stuff, people are pass away, and holidays become different, and traditions change, and their expectations placed on us. It’s complicated. Yeah, so we love you guys from grace, and maybe we’ll even post some ideas for what what to do if the elf forgot to move. I think one year we said that the elf had to stay because the kids, one of the kids, did something bad at school, and they’re like, all the other thing is, like, why said I made the elf stay to keep an eye on the kid? Well, I know awful now that I think about it. Yes,
I mean, but we’re giving ourselves grace. You lied to your children and ruining our children in the meantime. Well, I was always told that if somebody touches the elf, they can’t move that for 24 hours. So I would always just be like, I don’t know, which one do you touch the owl? So I basically did the same exact thing you did, taking the sucking the joy right out of that kid the holidays. Guess on your children.
I don’t know which one of your little brats touched,
but now it may be 48 hours this time. Who can say I did? Of course, the kids turn on each other and they’re like, you touched it? No, I didn’t.
I saw you touch it, and it just becomes everyone’s gaslighting everybody, and then your husband’s just standing there. Like, why do we do the elf? Wait, what’s the elf in here? Like, shut the fuck up. If you move the damn elf once, we wouldn’t get here.
Oh my gosh, it’s so good. We did, though, one year. Say, you know what we we think, I think maybe the elf got hurt, and the elf showed up with a bandage the next day. So that was a gaslight free explanation. That’s good. Come to us for more parenting advice.
We still do a better dog Kelly died, but this is a parenting podcast.
Here’s how to keep the magic alive. Lie to the children and make make them, make them, make everything their fault. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I just like, Oh my gosh. I feel terrible for my kids. Now I just realized,
soon enough, they’ll realize the elf is bullshit.
First of all, our parents did not have to do an elf. So you know what? Yeah, it’s true. Yeah, it’s true. Now enough. We love you guys until next time Bye.
