00:00Cheers to our 20th anniversary, much to my demise.
00:04I may not be the best first impression on the new girls.
00:08Sorry, come here.
00:12Virtual reality.
00:15I'm Denny Murphy.
00:16I'm Evan Real.
00:16And Sky Tops.
00:18Sky Tops.
00:19That was kind of the vibe of Orange County.
00:21We just had Sky Tops on.
00:23Yeah.
00:23Not a lot happened.
00:24I gotta be a hundred.
00:25Yeah.
00:27If you guys are looking for, you're probably thinking,
00:30what are we recapping?
00:32Look, the conflict resolution of Housewives.
00:35Impressive.
00:36This was very much about the resolution.
00:38Everyone resolved things.
00:39Everyone said sorry.
00:40Everyone moved on.
00:41There was this whole confrontation teased between Carmella and Vicky.
00:45Was it going to happen?
00:45Was it not going to happen?
00:46Who was going to do it first?
00:47Eventually, Carmella walked over with her lemon drop martini,
00:50said something to Vicky.
00:51Vicky didn't give a s***.
00:52Then they both just kind of like walked away.
00:54If you don't have anything kind to say about me,
00:57please don't say anything at all.
00:59Yeah.
01:00Well, that's a good first step.
01:01It was kind of like where someone was like,
01:04when your friend is really mad that a waiter got their order wrong,
01:07he's like, I can't believe I'm going to be,
01:09and they're like, oh my God, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:10And the waiter comes over, hi, excuse me.
01:12Like, it was not really conflict or drama.
01:16Yeah, I know.
01:17Also, like, I genuinely think Vicky forgot Carmella was a person.
01:21Absolutely.
01:22Because, like, they haven't seen each other in, like, a month.
01:24Yeah.
01:24So I think Vicky's like, I have drama with her?
01:26Okay.
01:27And everyone's like, Vicky has nonstop and talking about Carmella.
01:30It was like three passing comments.
01:32Yeah.
01:32So there was that.
01:33And then also Tamara taking selfies.
01:35Tamara took a lot of selfies.
01:36And then we talked about the selfies of it all with Jen in Tokyo.
01:40Was she trying to piss off Heather?
01:41Heather says, I think you were maybe trying to piss me off.
01:44Or I felt excluded.
01:45I felt sensitive about it.
01:47But then Tamara and Heather, they kind of moved on from it.
01:50And they were good.
01:51And damn, wasn't it Gina who said it sucks to be the shiny toy,
01:54the playground that nobody wants to play with?
01:56Like, she said that no one wants to be Heather's friend, basically.
01:58It's, like, kind of bad.
01:59It's like, you're, like, the fanciest, shiniest kid in the sandbox.
02:03And nobody wants to be friends with you.
02:06She did say that in a confessional.
02:07And so I feel like hopefully that is addressed at the reunion
02:09because that could probably create some conflict.
02:11You know, Heather hated seeing that.
02:13But then speaking of Heather and Gina,
02:15Heather and Gina also hashed out the situation with the money of it all.
02:19Is Gina spending too much comparing her career to that of a one sitcom actress?
02:24But we moved on.
02:25Like, everyone got to a good spot, which we do love to see.
02:27It just didn't leave any, like, crazy cliffhanger moment.
02:31Well, that's why I love when Heather was like, be mad at Tamara.
02:32Not me about that.
02:33Tamara's like, what the f***?
02:34What?
02:36I know a lot.
02:37And then also with all of the older housewives coming in and their sky tops,
02:41a lot of homages of the earlier seasons of Orange County.
02:46And also even, like, whenever it says Real House of Orange County,
02:49it's, like, celebrating 20 years.
02:51I've been seeing a lot of people online wondering.
02:53I'm, like, is this a conclusion?
02:55Is this a refresh?
02:57And Andy on Radio Andy, someone called to ask, like, will OC get, like, an Atlanta or a New York
03:04treatment?
03:06And I think he kind of was like, we refresh things all the time.
03:09He's open to it.
03:10He's open to it.
03:11So I love all these ladies.
03:14And I love that they're in a good place with each other.
03:16But I could see maybe if some stories are closed, new stories could be told or new things could happen.
03:21Yeah, I agree with you.
03:22It's weird because, like, I do love every single one of these women.
03:25But for whatever reason, it does kind of feel like the show is in need of a refresh.
03:30And I think the girls, I think they kind of know that.
03:32I think they understand that.
03:34So who knows what will happen next season or if there will be a next season.
03:38I think there will be a next season.
03:39But this was a beautiful celebration of 20 years of housewives.
03:42I think what would have been more interesting than this finale would have been, like, a documentary on how the
03:48women sourced their sky tops.
03:50Now that I would, and also Carmella would need to watch it.
03:53Well, I know, poor Carmella, she was not in her sky top.
03:56She probably was like, I'm not wearing one.
03:58I also.
03:59I kind of feel like she just did not want to wear one.
04:00It was funny, Gina Kirchenheiter, she couldn't really connect with the sky tops of it all because she was so
04:05young when the sky tops were popular.
04:08She did say that is not of her time.
04:10And I, although I really liked her outfit, it was very early 2000s vibes.
04:14I don't think that was an official sky top.
04:16Now, Emily, she found herself a sky top.
04:17Emily did.
04:18And also Emily found herself some men floating with her at the bar.
04:21Kind of fun to see.
04:22And that one guy.
04:23He's hot.
04:24Pretty hot.
04:24And then that one guy that Shannon ended up having a moment with, he was hot as well.
04:28And that's when Tamara was like, I hope he does things to you clitorically, right?
04:31Yeah.
04:33Love.
04:34I hope so too.
04:35Adore.
04:35Adore.
04:36Die for.
04:37The one downer of the episode was the pet psychic phone call with Shannon and her daughters.
04:42And Archie, he has brain cancer.
04:45And I guess if he could go under, do some treatments, some, I think it was radiation treatments that he
04:52could live a little bit longer, maybe like even like a year or two longer.
04:55But if he didn't do anything, it's only like months to live.
04:57And so she was consulting with the pet psychic.
04:59What does Archie want to do?
05:01He is talking about receiving the treatment.
05:06Archie wants you to know it might come a time where all of a sudden he takes a turn.
05:11I don't even know that they got clarity because Archie was like, maybe I could see myself doing the treatments,
05:16but I could also take a turn and I just don't want you to be super sad about it.
05:21I feel like the dogs are like, what's an MRI?
05:24You know what I mean?
05:25Why?
05:26You know, dogs don't know all the things of medical devices.
05:31I don't mean to laugh at the situation.
05:32It's a heartbreaking situation.
05:33You know what I'm saying?
05:34I get what you're saying.
05:36Like, do you want to do chemo?
05:37The dog's like, what is chemo?
05:46Do you know what I'm saying?
05:47No, I know, I know.
05:48Like, Archie's like, you're throwing a lot at me.
05:50I just want kibble.
05:51Like, I don't know.
05:53That's a good point.
05:55That's a good point, Danny.
05:56Oh, man.
05:57You're trying.
05:58Well, I mean, because Archie.
06:00Is going through a lot.
06:00You're going through a lot.
06:01And you've talked to a pet psychic before.
06:03I have.
06:03I have talked to a pet psychic before.
06:05So you're kind of, you're bedoring.
06:06Yeah, yeah.
06:07No, no, no.
06:07I understand what that experience is like.
06:09Like, I, uh.
06:10Like, did Max seem to know, like, modern tools?
06:13Um.
06:13Like, stethoscope.
06:14No, no, he didn't say much about stethoscope.
06:16MRI, like, yeah, blood test.
06:18No, it's funny.
06:21We didn't get there in our, in my conversation with Max.
06:24Thank God, honestly.
06:25No, really, yeah.
06:26No, I mean, like, Max is still young.
06:28He's not as old as Archie.
06:29And so maybe.
06:29You're going to have to walk in my hospital to be like, this is where.
06:32To teach him, to let him know.
06:33Maybe Shannon did that with Archie.
06:35Who knows?
06:36Maybe, maybe he just has like a breadth of knowledge somehow about MRIs and stethoscopes.
06:41I applaud.
06:42Yeah.
06:42She's raised a very smart daughter.
06:43So I'm sure she also raised a smart dog.
06:45Yeah, absolutely.
06:46I mean, Archie does seem like a very smart boy.
06:48But that's also a lot on the dog's plate.
06:50I know.
06:50I, and I do, I do think Archie is still with us.
06:54So.
06:54Oh, wait.
06:55Hold on.
06:56I am so sorry.
06:57We need to do some research right now in the moment.
07:00I hope Archie is still with us.
07:02If, if not, I'll be very, very sad.
07:05Hold on.
07:05Danny's researching.
07:07What?
07:08In May 13th, 2026.
07:10Are you serious?
07:11Mm-hmm.
07:12Why?
07:12Imagine if I was like, kidding!
07:14Yo, no.
07:14Wait, why?
07:15I feel like we as a society didn't pay enough tribute to the sweet baby Archie.
07:20Wait, but also, why wasn't that included in the.
07:22Oh, that, like in memoriam.
07:23Like, in the, there should have been an in memoriam card for Archie at the end of the episode.
07:30Like, a title screen.
07:31That's true.
07:31Something special.
07:32Or even in Shannon's, like, what happened after filming wrapped.
07:36Archie, I don't think Archie's death was included in, you know, because they do the sad music and then the,
07:42like, this is what Shannon's up to.
07:43Yeah.
07:44Or what happened.
07:44Not the sad music for what Shannon's up to.
07:46Well, everyone gets sad music.
07:48They even get sad music.
07:49The, you know, the, the Orange County music for that, the little ending, it's always, amongst all the franchises, it
07:54really is the saddest.
07:56It's like, like, I can't even do it, but like, it's truly a.
08:00Wait, why didn't they include information about Archie's death?
08:03I know, I don't know what he picked.
08:04Wait, RIP, Archie.
08:05Honestly, it really does break my heart because I know how special he was to Shannon.
08:10Oh, my God.
08:11And such a good boy.
08:12Yeah, he was a really good boy.
08:13Oh, my God.
08:13He did all the assignments.
08:15Yeah.
08:15Oh, because that was a too big drama that Archie was talking to a pet psychic and Jen's son was
08:20missing 88 assignments.
08:21Yes.
08:22Yeah.
08:23We watched the show.
08:25Yeah.
08:25No, we did.
08:25We did.
08:26So there is a.
08:27I feel.
08:28You've seen that shook you.
08:29No, I was shook.
08:30I was shook.
08:30You know, I feel really bad for Jen.
08:31Honestly, she's been going through a lot.
08:33It's not easy to be the mother of all these kids when you are not currently engaged in a healthy
08:41co-parenting dynamic with the parent of your kids.
08:43And so I did feel bad for her revealing that her son, Dominic, has not completed 88 assignments.
08:49He's also having an issue with respecting authority and respecting adults.
08:52And she just wants things to change.
08:55And then Ryan stepped in.
08:56He wants to be more of a disciplinarian.
08:58And she seems to be kind of cool with that.
09:01We'll see what happens.
09:02If you are allowing me to step in.
09:04Yes, I am.
09:05Then I would like the liberty to take it to step two, which for me is a little bit more
09:11of a disciplinarian.
09:13I know it's tricky, but I know it's a hard thing, too, because I know Jen really cares about her
09:16kids so much.
09:17There's only so much someone could do.
09:18Exactly.
09:19And she says that she's like, I'm just one person.
09:21I can't be everything to all my kids all the time.
09:24Ryan was like, did he recommend therapy?
09:26He recommend that a therapist steps in, which I think.
09:29It's good to have a professional.
09:31Yeah, I think Jen was just overwhelmed at the moment.
09:33I don't think she really heard what he was saying.
09:35I think he was like saying, outsource help.
09:37Like, you can't do it all.
09:38Because I was confused when she was like, I'm one person.
09:40And he's like, you.
09:41I think she was just emotional at the moment.
09:43I wasn't really hearing what he was saying.
09:44But I think she, like, he wants to help her.
09:47And I think that he sees a therapist stepping in to help Dominic as, like, beneficial to, like, whatever's going
09:52on.
09:53Because if she can't provide that help all on her own, like, maybe a therapist could.
09:58Dominic, I feel like he seems like a sweet kid.
10:00He seems like a sweetheart.
10:01He'll get his s**t together.
10:02Also, school's not fun.
10:03School really isn't fun.
10:05As someone who, like, kind of didn't do any of their homework.
10:07Well, you used to say you actually never did homework.
10:09I just don't remember doing it.
10:11So maybe you are Dominic.
10:12I think I also missed 88 assignments, if not more.
10:14What advice would you give Dominic?
10:15What advice would I give Dominic?
10:18I guess be kind to your teachers.
10:21Because that's how you get away with not doing homework.
10:23Right.
10:23If you become, like, your teacher's bestie, you can get away with so much.
10:28What's the song?
10:29Teachers, Pat.
10:30Yeah.
10:30Yeah, just be a teacher's pet.
10:31And that way you can just, like...
10:32But be the personality hire of your school.
10:34You'll graduate.
10:34Right, like, go kiki with your teacher.
10:36And then that way they'll just forget that you're not submitting your homework.
10:38No, that's true.
10:39Yeah.
10:40Okay, so, Dominic, that's some advice.
10:41School, you got...
10:42It's still, like, it's marking period one, I think.
10:46Oh, yeah.
10:47School.
10:47Oh, my God.
10:48Sorry, kids.
10:48You got a long year ahead.
10:49It's the fall.
10:51I'm, like...
10:51It's the fall.
10:52Emotionally, I'm, like, the school year is done.
10:54I know.
10:55Because emotionally, I feel like this year is done.
10:56Well, because Orange County is over.
10:57I'm, like, the year's done.
10:58It is.
10:58Yeah, but actually, we got two parts of the reunion.
11:00Oh, yes, we do.
11:02Which I'm excited for.
11:03I think it'll be good.
11:04It seems like they were activated.
11:05I think they watched the finale, and they're, like, oh, we got to do something.
11:08They all look great.
11:09They all look fabulous.
11:09In their reds and pinks.
11:10And the set, Vicky's Backyard situation from season one, so cute.
11:15And Tamra jumps in the water?
11:16I saw that with her nipple pasties on.
11:18Yeah.
11:18Bodies, tea.
11:19Bodies, tea.
11:20But I'm, like, do they stay?
11:21Are they water resistant?
11:23I guess we'll see.
11:24Let's hope.
11:25I mean, they can blur, but still.
11:26I was, like, we'll see.
11:27Oh, my God.
11:28Yeah, but, guys, stay tuned for that.
11:29Oh, my God.
