A Week of Spray Tans, Chess, and New Bravo Casts

Hey, it's Andy Cohen here with this week's chapter of Andy Cohen's Daddy Diaries podcast. The high highs and low lows of my life is a daddy to two kids and dozens of housewives. Joining me is always this my co-host John L.A. John. Hi. John this week I was in St. Louis for a day, cooked up another job for me to do with straight Dave, came back to New York in time for a big chest tournament for young Ben, which he loved, then he hated. John got his spray tan. Uh, you all hear about that? Lots of Bravo news. And I once again, I'm dealing with a children's birthday party I have to plan. This is Andy Cohen's Daddy Diaries podcast. Monday, March 2nd, 2026. Good morning everybody. I'm Andy Cohen right here in Chile, New York City with my man John Hill by my side. Hey John, it's cold again. It's cold again, but sweetie, are you in blackface? Oh, it's a fresh one. I mean, it'll be better by this evening. You went a little, you really went for it. I mean, did you get that this morning? No, last night. Wow, honey. Mm-hmm. Okay. It's only going to look like this for a couple more hours. Okay. All right. Because you go and wash your face or was I have a whole process, Apple whole system. Okay. Yeah. You're going to bring the color down a bit. Yeah. I mean, this is, you know, I'm here with trusted friends and I'm not trying to impress anyone. Right. So like by the time it fades, it'll look natural. Okay. Very good. I put a variety of exfoliants on early on in the process. So it kind of like diminishes the, have you applied those exfoliants yet? The first layer, yes. So give it time. All right. Okay. Very good. Very good. I think it looked great. A listen, you look like you have a savage stamp. Yeah, I do. And possibly African, African American apparent. What is this whole time? African wearing white makeup and I really am black. Oh my God. That would be a big reveal. Wow. Yeah. Well, let me know. Yeah. Happy Monday. Let me know. I'm here for it. Happy Monday. It is freezing. It's like I haven't seen you in so long. I know. It's so, oh yeah, because you were gone. All right. This is an amazing work. Yeah, anything for me to see of your teeth right now? There's some temporary situations happening on the bottom. Do you have to go back to smile, Texan? Three more times. Oh, no. Yeah, but I'm excited. Okay. The hard part is done. The fun part comes now. Oh, the fun part. I also got some ear work done. I got a new, I replaced the jewelry on my left ear. Oh, okay. And then I moved a little diamond baguette to that little spot. Yeah, I can't see because I'm not wearing my contacts. My glasses on. It's a whole thing. Maybe smile, Texas could give you some eyes. Well, they should. Wow. That is something. I didn't realize that. I had a night with Lucy. Lucy woke me up at about 4.30. She had changed into a cute little summer outfit as though she was going to play tennis. Little mini skirt and tank. She's trying to manifest. She's using the secrets. Yeah. Speak it and dress it into existence. She's in my room. She's like, Daddy, where's Ben? I go Lucy. What is happening right now? Like this is not. I can't do this. Anyway, it was stunned. I was actually able to fall asleep after the fallout from that. I had a big day with the kids yesterday. It was Ben's chest tournament at his school. And I was there for five hours. And that tournament, are they playing until there's like two champions playing each other? They just play all day. It's four rounds. They play a game and then they go in the auditorium, which is where the parents are waiting and then they wait for their next round to be called. And they announce and they send the parents on a WhatsApp group like a chart and then it tells you Ben going as that seat 210 and he's playing black this time. And so then you take him in there, put him there and I was like shake the hand of your opponent and their kids from all these different schools. And Ben said to this kid, I heard him when I was walking away, he goes, I have to shake your hand. And this other kid said, no, I don't do that. I'm like, oh, okay. But he won two and he lost two. One of them that he won, he was like, Dad, this kid was like pre K. I'm like, oh, okay. But the other one he did meet, he bit a smart kid and he kept saying, all day, I love this. Signed me up for another one. And then when he left, something happened and I don't know what, but he was in a foul mode and he said, I never want to do that again. I kept saying, can you please talk to me about what happened? Like, you can tell me anything. We're friends. Tell me. And he wouldn't. Then we went to a birthday party for like two and a half hours of a friend of Lucy who has gay dads who just go for it and they're great and they really threw a great party. I wound up having a little thimble full of tequila at that party. I was like, oh, wait a minute. Anyway, it was really fun. One of the dads who had seen me at the chas said to me very offhandedly, oh, I see you didn't outsource your parenting today. Meaning like send to the kid with a sitter and I was like, shade. That really hurt. So you try to be funny? I guess I don't know, but I'm like, you know what to. Yeah, what'd you say? I was shocked. I'm like, I'm a single dad. Like, I don't know. Single mom who works two jobs. Yeah, I was just like really. Anyway. Don't let that. That's a rude comment. I, there are many times that I've been invited to play dates with a heterosexual disgusting family. Right. And the mom has set up a play date, but like with the nanny or the O pair. Right. So like, please, everybody does. Everybody outsource his parenting at some point. I mean, enough. I just resent the term. I mean, it's just like, but also I'm like, anyway, so that was that. There was one point when he came in between rounds and I said, oh, I go is I go what happened with so and so. Did he win his game? Now Ben didn't realize that so and so's dad was sitting right behind me. And he goes so and so is a terrible player. He's just terrible. And I was like, oh, I go his daddy is sitting right behind us. And I turned to the daddy and the daddy was like, well, it's good for me. I know these things. I was like, oh God. This is. Ches is hard. I'm glad he's doing it. I mean, and you know what? But the next time the next time the tournament runs around, he might want to do it again. I hope so. The next one's May 17. Do you play with him at home? No, I don't, but I taught him how to play backgammon. Yes. He, we have one babysitter who actually teaches chess and he plays with her a bunch. And there are other people he plays with. I was I flew to St. Louis on Friday on Friday, I had family day at Ben's school Friday morning. So I wasn't able to leave until like one in the afternoon. I didn't outsource family day. Thank you to that dad who said that. And so I had a terrible time getting to the airport. I got to the airport was waiting on a plane to come from Raleigh Durham. And there was a weather there. It kept getting delayed, delayed, delayed. I wound up having a fit in the middle of the LaGuardia. But a ticket on Delta had to change terminals, which at the new LaGuardia is not the easiest thing to change terminals. And I was like, I was in a frame, but I got on the Delta flight. Because you were just on that private jet life. Yes, I was. I was like, and my agent called to ask me a question. He was like, what's with the tone? I'm like, I'm in the middle of a real person issue right now trying to change terminals. He's like, oh, that Delta terminal is pretty nice though. It's very nice. Yes, it's very nice. I like that. You know what the terminal, I just can't get over having lived in New York for so long. The old LaGuardia truly, it was quaint. It was stunning that that airport was there. You could a get there in like under 25 minutes and B, it took no time to just get in, go to your gate, whatever it was nothing. Now it is so big. It's huge. I don't know how they found the space because it's in the same location. Location, but it's just all the terminals are so big anyway God on the plane and this dude who I've known in New York City I bet you would recognize him He looks like a blonde Superman. He's like six five. He's got huge muscles. He's so handsome And he bartends he used to bartend all the gay parties and gay events when the guy who is the current Treasury secretary Scott Bessent used to live in East Hampton with his boyfriend and they would throw the biggest gay parties like all the time I'm sure this guy was like one of the bartenders there and he Anyway, he was I hire him to he now has a company any he Staff's hot guys to bartend parties anyway. He was on the my plane with 10 Gorgeous guys who were being flown to St. Louis for this woman 65th birthday party. I was like wow She outsourced her bartenders. That's how rich she was and she put him up for two nights I was like well are any of your bartenders gay? He was like no none of them and then he texted me while we were in the air He goes go to the sixth row because the guys gay I was like oh Anyway, I did walk back and have a little I've been told you're gay Yeah, right. Well, no, but I walked back and I was pretending to be looking for my guy the blonde Superman and then but I wound up Getting a glimpse of a person who Okay paid me no mind. Thank you, Dust. I reckon I remember this guy He's in one of those videos where where the guy stops people on the street and goes hey, what's up? My name is so-and-so. I stop people who have jack's bodies. Can I ask you about to work out and done? That's my guy I know he's on one of those. I know that's how I know who you're talking. Oh, okay. Well, he's yeah His he's straight by the way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah anyway, so I went to visit my parents and The report is my mom is she got a great attitude. I have to say she's in a fair amount of pain You know they trick those people they they're in the hospital doing rehab, but they're on oxycodone You know, so they feel nothing and they can do it all and then they go home and then they're not on it Yeah, and it hurts and it's a little harder and so she's getting around But it's tough and my dad is you know He's he's good, but it's you know they're getting older and It was a lot we we spent about 28 hours together and I did well I got there.

What's a band called can't remember but she was a good singer all covers. They sang 16 songs Oh, yeah, it is a lot. I only criticism was they took very long breaks between eight song, but who's who cares? Are you there for all 16 songs? Yes, I was It was really fun.

Yeah, what can I say? It's gonna be a good week this week, I think I'm getting my eyes checked, which is really good. I'm on the road to cataracts surgery. As you've been looking at me this hour is my face looking more normal to you. You're not used to it. Still. It's still striking to you. Like you're, you haven't grown accustomed to looking at it. You look like you're in blackface. (laughing) I know. That was the goal. Yeah, it's gonna take me longer than 30 minutes to get used to it. Okay. Listen, I'm the guy who thinks being tan is the only way to be. And like it's the, all I want is to be tan. I was trailing bed and that on the way to school this morning. I was telling him how I used to just lay in pools to be tan. I mean, so let's see you get it. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. It's, it's still jarring. No, I'm not used to it. Okay. Maybe by tomorrow. Definitely not used to it. I want to talk to reunions, traders reunion and Potomac. First of all, so, you know, if you haven't seen either, turn the channel, I don't know. Traders finale, the finale was good. It was great. I did think that the two episodes for seeding the finale. I was like, the only person I was interested in, the only people that were interested in really was Kristen Kish. Yeah. And Rob. And I was excited that Johnny and Tara got it. Yeah. But it was too late. Too late. Too late. And I just, that was a little bit of a problem. The people that were still there were just not Mark Ballas. Yeah, I mean, this always happens. Floaters, they, you know, they just kind of make it because they are not a threat, so they can't, they don't kill them and they don't really need them to get out of the castle because they're just kind of, there's a, this is something that happens a lot. The floaters, the floaters. And then the finale, but it was very exciting at the end. And poor Mara, Robin Mora are on, watch what happens live on Wednesday. Okay. And. Yeah, I mean, let me tell you something about that Rob. Wow. You're as a beauty. Yeah. How tall is she? She's, she's at least six feet. Yeah, I think she's six feet. 10. 10 beautiful skin. Yeah. Beautiful skin. We peed next to each other. We talked about snakes. No, real snakes. He was lovely. Now what was your take on the housewives bringing housewives energy to the reunion? Did you like it or was it, I usually am annoyed by it, but I think it fit this time. Okay. Like as Candace had good things she wanted to clear up. Right, right. You know, I did, yeah. I got a lot of mixed response on threats, which is why I was wondering. I, I, I posed it. I was like, tell me all your thoughts on the traders' reunion. A little bit goes a long way because it isn't a housewives reunion. You don't want it to become something. It's not like you're really rehashing the game and the choices that were made and the votes that were cast. Rina saying like, why did you say hostage? Yeah. But you know what, he had a great answer. He was fine. And then he said he was like, why did you? Well, yeah, why did you say, and then shirt response was, well, because I'm Lisa Rina and I could say anything. It's like, well, okay. Listen, she tried it. She tried it. She tried it. She tried it. She threw a little sprinkle in there. It was so funny. I mean, you know, Porsche had so much to say. I mean, I haven't seen the final reunion, but I know that they wound up cutting out a lot of what Porsche said. Like she was very verbal. I was like, because by the way, Porsche is used to commanding a stage at a reunion. Did they leave in one of the women from survivor, not Natalie? Oh, maybe she was from Big Brother who got voted off. She just was talking about how Rob was as dull as a butter knife. And everyone was, didn't, that make the car maybe? I just want to also point out, a lot of people are on me for the edit of the Traders reunion. I'm not a producer of the show. So I did not choose what was in the reunion or out of the reunion. Every permutation of topic was discussed. So don't hang your shit on me if you're unhappy. Because a lot of people were like, oh, Andy hosted it. So there was a lot of housewives stuff in the show. And I'm like, look, there was everything in the, as we were there. But so I didn't cut it. That's all I want to say. I applied to be on Traders. Good. Is your audition tape amazing? Yeah. Good. My advice to Rappaport was to be calm and reasoned. Didn't take it. I was annoyed to see that my collar was messed up in clips for half the reunion. And like all they had to do was say, fix your car. I mean, what? I saw a clip. That's part of the reason I didn't watch it. I was like, well, I don't want to see that. I have one grooming note. Yeah. Do you want it? Are you happy with it? Yeah. I think if you're ever again in sleeveless or overalls, speaking of spray tan, you need body make like some, just guess what? Yeah. Couldn't agree more. Yeah. So I was, they had said to me a couple, a couple days before we want you to wear overalls with no shirt for the beginning. I go absolutely not. They go, would you do it with a tank top? I go, maybe I said, look, and I was coming off a week where I was working so hard that I worked out one day that week with Stan and one day in Pilates, which is not a pump. And I was like, oh, man, so before the show, they said, would you, what are you going to do it? I go, let me try it on and see what I look like. I try it on. They're gassing me up, which is their job. And I'm like, so I go, just leave me be. So I'm looking at myself and I said, okay, I think this will be okay. It's 20 seconds. It was okay. It was fine. But you are on TV, those cameras and the lighting was more my thing when you have the light. Stan, you don't need to drive your shape was great. The shape was good. I had, my skin was so dry. Yeah. It's so pale. And it needed it. And I didn't, and the other thing that I should have done as anyone would have done, but I didn't want to screw up my hair or makeup. When we, when I went on to the set in the overalls and we rehearsed me tearing open the cloak, I was standing there and I said there was, there was a gay gentleman in the, my ear. And I said, can you just be real with me like, is this okay? Like I go, I have no, it's not that I have no, I said I have no ego with you saying, hey, man, like don't do this. Like you don't look great. Like you can pull this off. He goes, no, it's all good. But I should have done is dropped and done like 30 push ups or you bring a red band with you. Yes, exactly. And like get a pop and take some creatine, whatever, but I didn't. And I should have had them, of course, put something on my arms and I didn't. So I agree with you. Thank you. But you look great. And let it be known as soon as you dropped the robe, Rob was like, oh, he's jacked. Yeah. He complimented your biceps. He said that. Yeah. The shame was great. No, he made it. Yes. You didn't see that in the butt. No, I didn't watch it. Yes, you drop it off and you go, oh, he's jacked. Rob said that. Yes, he complimented your arms. Oh, man. I think everybody seemed quite complimentary of your arm situations. Who is everybody? I, the whole all of the double cat. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I will say typically, especially gay people on social media just say terrible things about me. They still did, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. So I was like, okay, I also think being lit from behind weirdly, it accentuated the cut of my arms, which are not bad, but my trainer Stan was very happy. Your arms looked enormous. He would be a good, he would be a very tough, you know, anyway. No, Potomac reunion, I thought Potomac reunion was great. I did see a lot. I posted it on threads. By the way, I've been loving threads. Much more, I find it less toxic than Twitter. Sure. I, and the more I've engaged with it in the last two or three months, I've gained like 500,000 followers just by really, really, really engaging, which I'm doing. So that's gratifying because I was feeling so bad. You know, on Twitter, I had all these these millions of followers. And so I'm just, I'm like, okay, I feel a little engaged in this. But I did post last night saying, like give me your thoughts about the Potomac reunion. People wanted more of the Colorado talk. And it did dominate three episodes, how bad that trip was. So I get it. I guess we felt like, oh my God, poor angel, we've heard all these excuses so many times. And like how many times can we hear about the fishing experience being ready? You know, I mean, the wilderness, I mean, but people wanted more of that. And then people had a lot to say about Jacelle, not having a package. And did you see part three by any chance? - I'm halfway through. - Okay. It was good. - It's good. - Karen was good. - Did they, you know, I saw it. I don't think they left in me asking Karen if she got new teeth. Do they leave on it? - I didn't see that part. - Okay. Where I'm at now is they're talking to Stacey. And it just, I can't get a sense of like, is Stacey the world's biggest liar? Or is this all just a matter of interpretation? - Right. - Because it sounds like everyone except Stacey thinks that she's all right. But I love Stacey. So I don't, I'm not quick to think that she's fine. Anyway. - It's diplomatic. - Maybe she's too diplomatic, too on the verge of lying. - Right. (laughing) - But Jezelle towards the end, we were about to wrap it up and Jezelle said, oh, I didn't get a package. - Mm. - And we left that in and she's, and then in the final comment, she goes, well, since I didn't get a package, I'm gonna tell you what's up in my life. - Oh my God. - My kids are at school. They're doing really well. My, this, that. And so she didn't and people kept saying, oh, this means this about Jezelle, this means that about Jezelle, this was a big dialogue. And I have to say, I find Jezelle kind of integral to the group and I'm really enjoying watching her. And I also say, I also will say, I have really enjoyed Jezelle, finding common ground with Monique, finding common ground with Wendy. She and Tia have been well. This is someone who has been accused of staying in her silo for years and she wasn't friends with Wendy and she wasn't friends with Candace. And I give it up to her for, she's been able to find common ground with a lot of these women. - She shares her personal life, I think very openly now, that was a criticism years ago. - Yes. - If she doesn't share enough, I feel like she does. There are points of her dating that she doesn't share but she made that very clear. But I appreciate her place in the group. - Hey, too. - And I think part of the reason, I think if there had not been a Jezelle package and she didn't mention it, then people may not have noticed. But I think the reason people noticed is she was like, oh, I didn't get a package, whoa. So there, I just wanna say that. - Yeah. Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026. Hey everybody, my name is Andy Cohen. With John Hill, hey John. - Hi. - Well, I didn't wanna admit it, but your face does look like it's settled into it. - Yeah. - More natural color. - What race am I today? You're a tan white person. - Okay. - Okay, very good. Okay, we have light skin. - Yes. (laughing) Speaking of colors, I just wanna get right into it. - Did you see Bob Ristra's hands most? - You know what I'm gonna say. - Can I guess? Was it a post where she marvels at her Bougain Véa or whatever plant is descending from the roof and blossoming and oh my God, it perfectly matches my questions. - And do we need to even tell you if you've ever listened to this show? What color those cushions are? - Well, I don't think that's the dusty rose. - It's burgundy. - burgundy. - She loves burgundy. - They're like a wine. - Here was her caption. So it's a picture of these two chairs. And with all due to the chairs. - I know. - They're like wrought iron chairs. - I think this is a sitting area that no one's ever seen. - Whatever. - It's a picture of these two chairs. And in the middle of the chairs is a bush, a window planter with Bougain Véa that goes up the wall. - A vine. - And by the way, it made me think I might wanna get some Bougain Véa for my terrace. And the caption is, this is another miracle. My cushions are all burgundy, but the Bougain Véa plant doesn't come in burgundy. So we just planted two different colors, crimson and purple. And what do you know? Somehow they blended together and gave me the color. I wished for. Is that another example of the power of thought? I have no idea. My mouth is just hanging open. I mean. - It's almost like when she looked at the weather, the day she had to direct that scene and he understood. - Oh yes. - And she basically called off the weather just by thinking about it. - And then and the clouds potted. Yes, they did. - You know. - This person has cloned their dogs. She probably cloned Jim Carrey. She probably said to a gardener, go to Monsanto. Find me a Bougain Véa. Give them this duffle bag full of money. Give me a make them in a lab. Make me a Bougain Véa. - Here's what I'm gonna correct you on. - I don't think she's given anybody a duffle bag full of money. I think she's like, he has two shackles. - Yeah, you can come up with. - Here's a free CD from back to back. - Yeah, there you go. - Here's a very big sign. - I'm gonna give you a signed paper back. - Here's a signed paper back of the book. - Yes. Now, were you aware I read over the weekend? I mentioned this. I started to mention it yesterday. Were you aware that Oprah Winfrey and John Tesh dated? - Yeah, I saw that. I did know that. - I forgot. I think I did know that. - Oh, I was always obsessed with that. It made me really think John Tesh was very hung. - Well, by the way, oh, made you think he was hung? - I think you think Oprah's like a size queen. - She's a size queen, yeah. - What you do? - I think she's a gay too. - Do you think Steadmin is really hung? - Yes, really. - It's in the name. - It is in the name with all due. But I mean, you know what? I wanna say about John Tesh. And I thought this when he was on ET in the day, he could get it. - Like I always would. - By the way, he's good with this. - Yes, that is also a man with a huge face. - Huge head. - I mean, this man, I bet his head weighs 40 pounds. - Yeah. - I bet his head weighs as much as those rot iron chants of Bob Ross. That's what I think. - He's cranial. - He's so cranial. The other thing I wanna mention is the shyle buff thing. So was he attacked by a gay guy or did he attack a gay guy? - He says he was uncomfortable and a skirmish started. He was drunk and fucked up. And is he, but he's using the gay panic defense. Are there three gay guys in jail right now? Or are they in trouble? Or is shyle buff in trouble for getting in trouble? You know what I mean? Like if that had been, if they had been attacked by these gay guys, we would be hearing about these gay guys. - Right. - Maybe that would be a thing. But he imagined it and he said just, yeah. - And was that interview he did afterwards? - Yeah. - He said, sometimes when I'm standing around a big gay guy, I get intimidated. - Well, he didn't say intimidated. He said-- - Scared? - Yeah. And then he was the interviewer says, well, did you get, did that happen a lot? He's like, no, just the one time. And I'm a Christian, I'm a Catholic, and homosexuality is wrong. - So the Bible says, no. - Is he, is he Australian? - No, but he just said, no. - Oh. And is he using this now? It's his defense. Like I saw some Instagram person saying, oh, he's using this, it worked in the Jenny Jones day. In certain states, you can say you're afraid of a gay or a trans person and get away with horrible things. - Yeah, he also said he has a small man complex. - A small man complex. So just disappointing, I saw that movie about his dad and his childhood and his growing up. And I've met him a couple times and really felt this guy so evolved and has learned and has great perspective and has like, he got the short end of the stick in terms of being a teen star. And I just really felt like he'd grown into a really, cool grown man with a good sense of responsibility and you know, I don't know this is weird right Anyway and Shia LaBuff is most known besides in the last 10 years I think he's the most known for being like drunken crazy or something But what is he most known for who's an out Transformers the original Transformers been a movie called Disturbia right big movies, okay, and then also a Nickelodeon or he was like a Disney Channel star Even Stevens and then that movie holes He pulls ironically. Yeah, oh my god Um, I just found out bad information why Elmo's closing I Found that out too. Elmo is a restaurant of 25 years owned by Bob Pantarelli on 7th Avenue and I'm gonna say 19th Street Um, and it really was a gay. Yeah, and it still is. Yeah, I will say it's huge I know it's always surprising. Yeah, I mean, that's a huge place Well, that's sad. Yeah, when are they closing? You know like the building's been so for condos. Yeah I guess we should roll back in there one more I went last weekend. Did you? Mm-hmm. I would imagine that the breakfasts they I had the wave of the show's right are really good. Yeah gay brunch.

I guess you didn't know he's he's sitting there doing a taste test He's like I'm gonna eat this for my lunch and people are just roasting him for It looks like he's a Burger King meal. No, he's eating his McDonald's meal But it's like it looks like he's grossed out by it. Oh really? Oh, that is so funny Yeah, so that didn't land the way he thought it was creating it That's funny. Okay, so maybe I'll go to McDonald's later. I don't know what just talking about it is making me a little I live by a Taco Bell Make I go to Taco Bell. Just good at McDonald's for dessert.

Yeah, there you go talk about 10 Back with more from this week's daddy diaries after this When stay March 4th 2026 good morning everybody I made the co in here in New York City with John Hill. Hey John. Hey, good morning girl. What's up? Feels like spring I know I'm so ready. Oh My god, we're in a light jacket. Yeah, I'm wearing my dad's Sheerling. I love this Sheerling coat from this 1970 I love it. I saved it. I'm so glad I have it. It was ripped. I got it so I was walking Ben to school today. I'm like Ben think the snow will finally melt now that it's spring He's like I don't care. I'm like okay Anyway, the rest of the walk was nice. Um Morning everybody. I woke up with a little bit. No, don't say it What tickle in your throat? No, no little hangover. Oh, you're not familiar with it last night You know what I just Parted it up at my hit late-night talk show and it's 16th year. I Just I drank everything that was Brought to me during the show Drink it like it was my job We had Tom Sandevol on with Chris Han Who have you oh he's one of the only fans cousins from Vanderbombe Bruce. I followed the other one I find Chris Han compelling. I like the other one better. We're interesting. Yeah who won the poll? Who's the hotter cousin Chris on But I listen they're both super cute and I actually felt a little bad for Chris Han I went and said hi to Sandevol before the show and I was like and Chris Han came in to say hi and I was talking to Sandevol and the girlfriend and the and Tom's girlfriend Victoria who I like a lot who I think is be like absolutely stunningly beautiful They were talking about Chris Han kind of shading Katie Maloney Katie Maloney like Had some things to say about the new cast of Vanderbombe Bruce and I guess Chris Han said when asked about it will like who is she? so He didn't watch Any of the old Vanderpump rules because he didn't want to be influenced by it and he was like I'm just gonna go in and be me and I don't want anyone to say that I'm doing Somebody else or trying to be somebody else Anyway, the OG Vanderpump rules cast was very hopped up about him saying that about Katie and put some respect on her and whatever and so Sandevol confronted him on the air last night and Really kept going and I actually felt kind of bad for Chris and and Then I was like and then all the viewers were tweeting saying wow like sand-of-all defending Katie Maloney who hates him so much and who he hates so much it just it was wild But it turned out to be a fun live show last night was yeah kind of well in that position You want to be the person who is currently on the show? Not the old person complaining Well listen, I don't know he was on he was on 12. I mean he was on The iconic, you know, right? Yeah, but yes, but I mean in that argument like you should let it go after you've mentioned it once maybe Right right anyway, so Tom Sandevol has a girlfriend and you think she's beautiful. I do Yeah, but like after if this person is famous for being incapable of telling the truth or staying faithful to someone What kind of person dates that person just seriously asking no shade to her well the question is whether He is Continuing, you know, I asked him it turned out that last night was the three-year anniversary of Skandival Crazy enough and so I said that to him at the top of the show and I said what was the what was the biggest lesson you learned from that whole thing. I'm just wondering what the interaction is for someone. Don't cheat. That was the biggest lesson I learned. So we'll see if he's learned that lesson or not. I would have to think that this guy has a lot of eyeballs on him and that it would be pretty hard for him to cheat at this point. I'm sure you could find a way. I guess so I guess everyone could. Anyway, so you know, wish them well. So you got drunk. What were you drinking? Tequila? Yeah, tequila. Nice. Now when you get a hangover, are you taking Advil's or just a caffeine? I woke up and I immediately drank a lot of water. Uh-huh, good. Which was good. Salt. You need salt. Trying to flush my system with water. Played back in with young Benjamin. Well, that would give me a worse headache. I beat him. Yeah. Um, he beat me yesterday and I was so mad about it. I was like, you made so many dumb moves in this game. Like every time he makes a dumb move, I'm like, I wouldn't have done that. And here's why I wouldn't have done that. And then he winds up beating me. So I'm like, okay, well, who's the dummy? Who is the dummy? Um, sure put a spring in his step. I'll tell you that much. He was like, I got home and the sitter goes, Ben woke up at like nine and he he wants you to go in and kiss him good night. And I went in his room. And he was laying there on his back in like, he looked like he was fake sleeping. And I went in and I like, God, on his bed and his eyes opened. And he was just like looking at me and I go like I kissed him on the cheek. He keeps looking at me. And then he closed his eyes. And I was like, oh, that was creepy. Weird. And this morning I was like, do you remember any of that? He goes, no, daddy, but you know, you keep forgetting that I sleep with my eyes open. Which is what he says because he has hazel eyes. And by the way, I'm not so sure his eyes are hazel, but he thinks he has superpowers with his hazel eyes. I know I've mentioned that a lot. Anyway, it was it was weird, but maybe it was just maybe it was the to key. I'm sure he loved my tequila soaked kiss. Oh my God. Anyway, um, I did go to the eye doctor yesterday. I had to wear my glasses for eight days so that my eyes could resume their normal shape after 40 years of wearing hard contact lenses so that they can do cataract surgery. And I'll tell you what, I was at the doctor. I'm like a blind person right now. Like, I can't see what the soft lenses I can't see with my glasses. My eye doctor who y'all know, is, you know, you don't like his bedside manner. Yes. He has hired this gentleman who is now, who I'm wondering if he's going to wind up kind of giving the practice to because he's kind of a little, he's an older gentleman now. My, my, my cranky eye doctor seems to be dying as hair. My eyes were good enough for me to tell that yesterday. Um, but your eyes are good at spotting, spray tins, hair dye. Yes. That's right. The important stuff. Yeah. Can't read the words on the screen right now. Uh, but we clock that brown tea. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, so, uh, he's like, so he's hired this new gentleman who he really raves about, who will be the person doing my cataract surgery. And I've never really, he's talked to me about the cataract surgery, whatever. So anyway, my eyes retain. They're back to their normal shape and it's all about scheduling this surgery. And he goes, now I want to tell you about the surgery. He gets out a plastic model of the eye. And he wants to explain what cataract surgery is. And he's halfway through. And I'm looking at him. And I'm thinking, you know what? This guy is really handsome. And I was like, I mean, I, I, I never really paid attention to what he looks like. He's really handsome. So then I'm looking at him and I must have been really looking at him funny because he said, are you interested in this presentation? And I said, no, I'm not. And he said, well, do you want me to explain this surgery to you? And I said, I'm good. Now I was wondering in the car home, do you think that's bad of me not to want to understand how my corny work? I think you should really, I went for a consultation for a laser refractive laser surgery. And they touched a button on the wall and the wall turned into a screen and it was a video of what happens. And I was incredibly interested. Is the dog vomiting? No. Okay. Um, little Pete is here on, but on Ben's lap, on John's lap. Jordan, do you think it's bad that I should understand your anatomy? No, I would have tuned out to him. And like, like, I'm not doing the surgery on myself as long as you know what you're doing. But understanding it will help with your recovery. It will help. No, but I asked him about the recovery. I asked him how I would be able to see. I just don't want to know the technology. Aren't you interested? No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I really do want to know, how will I be able to see? How, well, how will this affect me? Will I need glasses again? Will I, you know, whatever? And that, excuse me, he's only doing it in my left eye. I got to get the right eye done. Anyway, I think it's fascinating. The stuff they can do. They showed me how small the microscopic needle was. I know. See that freaks me out. But it's interesting. I know. Well, you know what I was interested in. I was interested in. I was interested in. I was interested in. You're interested in that hog. Well, then we were talking about scheduling the thing. And my schedule for the next, it's just, it's, it's, it's bad. Well, it's like a week where you can't, like, it's really, the thing is I have shows. I can't be in recovery when I have watched what I've been watching for you to be blind during the show. I've been blind. If you've been watching what you've been watching for the last, you know, six months, it's been really bad. So I was like, look, you know, and I'm, I'm going to be guest hosting the Kelly Clarkson show coming up. And that was just added. It's got to be on a time when we're pre-taping a bunch of what happens. I don't know. It's going to be during your vacation. It's, well, no, it looks like it's going to be like May 28th is the first time. What I'm going to do is so I, um, then I, but there is a March 19th, but he's supposed to fly to Dubai. And I was like, oh, I go, well, to you. You're not going to be. So anyway, I cleared my schedule for the 19th yesterday. And I called back. We scheduled it for May, but then I was like, okay. So then, um, he goes, I said, oh, when are you doing in Dubai? He goes, oh, I'm going to a wedding. So then I look and he's not married. He's got no wedding ring. And I go, wait a minute. We're talking about our my recovery now. I go, you're not married. He goes, no, I said, oh, well, that's interesting. And then we moved on. Do you think he's gay? Made me wonder. Yeah. I don't know. He's not showing any outward signs of homosexuality like pig heads. Right. But you know, anyway, well doctors, you know, he is trying to be professional. He is at work. Yes. You're flirting. But he's at work. Well, do you think that that's flirting? I think it is. It's a fun, it's a fun trope. Playful. Oh, you know, a man of a certain age wanting to know what's going on. Right. Right. I think it's funny. I think it's harmless. But he is at work. Um, it's his job. Yes. Yes. Funnily and off last night, I was in bed and I was looking through some DMs and some lady said, I just, you know, I like you, whatever. And I just want you to know all these housewives are getting their teeth on. She goes, don't ever get the nearest. It's going to mess you up to that. And I was like, guess what? I got my forefront teeth. And uh, I got them done. I go and you didn't even notice. So there you go. They're very well done. I agree. My dentist was on, uh, he bartended. I'm watching what happens live the other night. It was on Sunday. It was really fun. Incredible. And by the way, every time I go see him, he's got a lot to say about the housewives who are getting terrible teeth. And I said to him on the show, I go, who has the worst teeth on Bravo? But he didn't want to do that. He was like, well, who would the top contenders be for, for noticeable teeth? No words, but just be, I'm not gonna say I'm not gonna say. Um, poor Scott came in. You missed it. John Scott came into the studio this morning. It was like Ziggy had entered the room. It was so sad. He was like, "Good morning." He was like, "Um." resigned to the morning. Maybe it's the comment you made about him the other day. What did I say? What did you say? You were like, even-- I would let Scott Marlow do "Camegan Kelly's Chopper" or something. What was it? What did I say? Oh yeah, you'd let Scott host a morning show. But even Scott could host a morning show. I am a million dollars. I know what you meant though. You didn't mean-- Sorry, I know what's in it. Scott caught a strike. It came out wrong. You caught a strike. I know what you were trying to say. Yes. Yes. Yes. I didn't realize my energy was so low walking in this studio. Oh no, oh. When you walk in, you need to have your attitude right. You have to be friendly. Well, it's true. But by the way-- I said it for you. Excuse me. I wasn't the only one who noticed it. Jordan. Yes. There is a bit of a history with Scott and I where sometimes I'll come into our office and he seems down. And then like, Scott, what's wrong? What did I do? Are you mad at me? And he's like, Jordan, chill. Scott has big feelings and he is allowed to have them. You're allowed to have those. Thank you. We've got a loan. He's fine. You come in here with a cloud every now and then, sweetie. No doubt. Moapsy, moapsy. Walk a mile in my shoe. How do you-- By the way, yes. I mean, listen. We're our four sensitive people. Actually, Jordan, you don't seem overly sensitive. I don't think I am, but-- You're normal. You're seem normal. Yes, she's normal. Adjusted. Well, it's not. For Taoism and Oniologists. She-- Yes, she's normal. Look, when I come in in the morning, I've often been through what I would characterize as, like, hell on earth, 3 and a half hours of emotional torture. When you come in, you've done your gratitude journal. You've hydrated, moisturized. I worked out. So you're worked out. But I do that for the good of the team as well. Yes, great. But the team of myself and the team of everyone I do-- Yes, you balance it out. Bring my best to the table. I appreciate it, instead of-- It's-- It-- [LAUGHTER] It shows. Yeah, I know. Yeah, it shows. You're all welcome. Yeah, well, we thank you. Happy to help. We thank you. I brought a Jawawa to work. Yeah, you did. Speaking of Jawawa's, let's talk Bravo. I would like to tell you that I'm so excited about the cast of the Real Housewives of New York. I saw this. We have been working on this for a while. You know what? And this is-- there's always-- everyone wants everything now. And that's why everybody was asking about Miami. Like, when is it coming back? And why aren't you shooting it? And da da da da. And it's like-- and even Jersey, you know, it's like, we want to get it right. Well, on that topic, we almost did something with New York last year. Then we had a group convo. And we were like, you know what? We are not all there yet. And there were some people that are in the cast now that are still in the cast. New people. But then we found new new people. So you have three new people, right? We have three new people. And returning is Jessel, Aaron, and Si. Then we've got three new people, Erica, Daisy, and Amy. And they are great for all different-- And you saw the cleans doing some discourse. And then yes. And there were a lot of people doing discourse about Radcy coming back. Love that. She's coming back as a friend. That is great. This was a-- and it's so funny, because I remember we were at Brawbocon. And Jeff Lewis is like, Radcy's definitely coming back. You wouldn't be doing this. Chris is here. He's here. And it was not the plan at that point. It really wasn't. I think I took her out for coffee in-- you know, was it in December or January? And proposed that she be a friend. She's like, she was very Radcy about it. She was very analytical. You know, she's gotten to be pals with Aaron and Abe. So she-- like, they actually are legitimate friends. And she had all kinds of questions about what does that mean? And all this. And she thought about it. And after that coffee, I honestly thought it was a 50/50 chance that she was going to do it. I didn't-- I didn't-- I go do your research, you research everything. So I didn't know. And I was so glad that she did. What research is there to do? Well, talking to producers, talking to people at Brawbocon. You know, really just figuring out it's been a while. And I think she wants to be careful about it. Such a good-- she does. She's like a fairy godmother. Yeah, it'll be good. And I-- you know, Daisy's been Martha Stewart's makeup artist for many years. And Martha loves her. And so I'm hoping we see a little Martha. And it's-- I'm really excited. And on that note, about having the right cast. Two nights ago, I rewatched the premiere of Atlanta. You guys-- I think that-- I think people are kind of-- I think people's expectations are not at fever pitch, which I'm kind of glad about, because this is the cast we have been waiting for. Kamishel, now are you familiar with Kamishel? You are, too, Jordan. I loved her on-- I was watching Love and Hip Hop when she was on. She's so good. I'm so excited. I have never seen one frame of Love and Hip Hop. Now, once we started filming, and I was reading hot sheets from Atlanta, I DMed Kamishel to say, you're so great. I'm so glad you're on the team. What did I find? But a DM from Kamishel from, like, 2023 or something being like, I need a peach. This is the show that I belong on. Somehow, I admit this. She-- oh, my God. I know. She's a superstar. And in the interview, chair, are you kidding me? And then, do you know Pinkie? Yes. The founder of Slutty Vegan. Had you heard of Slutty Vegan? Yes. OK, so I'm so-- Jordan Zabigan. Yes. But I didn't know her that well as just a person-- So their pals-- And then, like, Fadre's known Pinkie for 10-plus years from around Atlanta, Pinkie and Shamiya are pals. Porsche and Kamishel are pals. Kamishel and Pinkie go way back. Like, it's a real group. But when I tell you, I was cackling at the premiere. Now, I had seen it. And we had a little-- you know, I watched the cuts, and we give notes. And there was work to be done. But I was like, wow, this is like super promising. But boy, it's-- so I'm five episodes into Atlanta of cuts. And it is a delight. It's really just-- Atlanta always made me smile. And Atlanta is making me smile. When do we get it? It's soon. It's like April-- We haven't in our box yet, Jordan. No, I don't think you have it. But what you might have in your box because watch what happens live got it. You guys-- Yes. --catching special road island. Oh, yes. You're going to die. You have road islands. Oh, you do? I haven't watched yet. But we have it. I got to watch it. And Atlanta premieres Sunday, April 5th. OK, so watch Road Island over the weekend and report back because it is-- now, the only issue that people are going to have with Road Island is that-- I mean, Kelsey and Rosie look a lot alike and Liz and Dolores. And Alicia look alike. So there are some clones going on, like, meritfully so were to all of us at the beginning of Salt Lake. But you will be able to parse it out. And oh, it's so funny. And the drama is real. So that's really good. And then tomorrow night, we've got the premiere of Ladies of London. Now, I watched the first two episodes at that last night at Watch What Happens Live, like, between shows. It's really good, too. It's-- see, everyone says I over-hype everything, whatever. So that's why I'm trying not to. But I just-- I'm excited because I love these shows. And by the way, I have nothing to do with Ladies of London. Then we've got Southern hospitality, I think, for me, or in the-- I think that comes on to-- An embarrassment of riches. An embarrassment of-- That's so much bravo. None of that time. I know. What do I know? Oh my God. And the Italy trip on Beverly Hills. Oh, God. Oh my God. Episode 15 and 16. I can't wait to see what's going on. - I'm not ready. You're not ready. Anyway, that's my rant about Bravo. (upbeat music) Thursday, March 5th, 2020, 6. Good morning, John. - Hi, good morning. Happy Thursday. - Happy Thursday. Did you see Ponce the Monkey Learn How to Wave Goodbye? (laughing) - No, I did. - So cute, look at him. - Oh my God, oh, that's cute. - Oh, oh my God. - Now that we mentioned it to you, you know who he is. - Oh, he's coming up on my feet all the time? - No. - And you sitting watch and really go in here. - Yeah, a little bit. - I mean, he was abandoned by his mommy. - I know. - He had no one but this little stuff monkey. - I know. - And then the other ones were beating him. - I know. - And now he can wave goodbye. - I know. - So cute. - Where's his mommy? - I don't know, she's a bitch. I hope she's rotting. - That book, are you my mommy? (laughing) - I just have nightmares about that. - And I remember my mom reading it to me and being like, imagine having a baby monkey and not wanting it. - Oh, terrible. - Imagine being a monkey who is Parasultant's pet. - That would be nice. - Imagine dropping Lucy off at school today. And one of the moms who I love was like, "Hey, what are you doing for Lucy's birthday?" Because there are a couple other kids who have birthdays around that time. And we're trying to figure out. So I go, I don't know. Her birthday is April 29th. I mean, I just got through a band. - Yeah. - It's in two months. I don't know what we're doing for Spring Break, which is in one month. By the way, and I woke up this morning like, I don't know what I'm doing. What are you gonna do? - I don't know. - What is it like a Disney World situation? - It's not a Disney World. - I just go to the beach for a week. - No, it's not gonna be that. There's a conversation in my mind about maybe going to Aspen and teaching them how to ski a little bit. - On the gas. - Because but it's the very end of the ski season. And it's been a middling ski season there. So I'm not sure. - Oh, we got all there snow here. - It's the right time. And then secondly, so I don't know. And I said to the woman, I got, look, I don't know. And also we've never done a birthday party where we've invited everybody in the class. So now what I felt like is I'm now on the hook to invite everybody in the class. So I'm a little and I go, well, I don't know. And I said, I've asked her what she wants to do and she just keeps saying, "Lalipops." 'Cause she loves lollipops. - The only beans mom. - So like, what's the lollipop party? So then the lady goes, "Oh, you could have a candy lamp theme." I go, "Yeah, and where should I do that?" She goes, "Your apartment." I go, "Ahh, excuse me." - How many kids are in this class? - About having 16 kids over for a candy lamp party. - Why don't you do it at a cat cafe? Well, no, are there cat cafes in New York City? - I don't know, but that's a genius idea. - Yes, Jordan. Please go back to your cave and Google. - Alternatively, you can. - I think there are also animal rescue places where you can go and just play with the cats. - You can rescue and get rabies. All the kids go home with rabies. Everybody gets rabies. It's a rabies party. - Find out if you're allergic to cats at Lucy's fourth birthday party. - And get measles every other thing. - You can get a whole suite of stuff. - Yes, there are quite a few cat cafes. - Girl, do they do birthday parties? Well, that's what Darren's gonna put in the right place. - There are a couple, there's Meow Parler. - Oh, also a lesbian bar. - And a cat cafe. - Well, I was thinking also Dylan's candy bar. - With cat. - As a birthday party. But then the lady said, oh, I think that closed years ago. - I could tell. - I was like, oh, I'm from the 90s. So what do I know? - If you do it at a cat cafe, I am going. - Oh, really? - Yeah. - Oh, well, okay. Well, that not makes me wanna. - I'll do the entertainer. - You know. - Oh my God. - There's still a Dylan's candy bar, by the way. - Oh, really? - There's a Dylan's candy bar in LA too. I don't think they're out of business. What part of town is it, Darius? - A hundred piars. - A hundred piars. - Oh, all right. - Not terrible. - We could go to Hudson Yards, West Side, not having to cross town. So we've got some audio. We're gonna get into some listener mail in a minute. - Got it. And then young Jordan, whose father is an audiologist. - Is he still practicing? - No, he's retired. But he does still have his tools, if you ever wanted, to check out your ear channels. - Maybe we can do. Does he host birthday parties come get your ears shut? - You know, he would. He has a video otoscope. I'd make him look at my ears all the time. - Wow. Let's get into some listener mail, John. Okay. (coughing) Rose from Illinois, I enjoy hearing all your personal stories. Anything about John Mayer lately? I was listening to his channel, New Music Friday Tuesday, and he said he just got back from overseas. Would you do find a friend on John Mayer and Anderson Cooper? You Anderson is usually home. - Okay, let's see. Anderson right now is. He's home. (laughing) And John Mayer, well, it's early in LA, but we're having dinner Saturday night. Oh John Mayer is home. - Okay. - Okay. - Is that update? - We don't dox anyone here. - No. - Andrea Harris, Andy, all caps you are wrong for having Garcelle at your walk of fame moment. Why, there was a hundred different women you could have chose from, like Kyle, come on, LOL, what you said to Rinna last night was epic. Rinna's everything, as are you and John and Jordan, PS, your laugh is epic. - Well, by the way, how dare you? - I love Garcelle. - Me too. - I chatted with Garcelle at the Hollywood Mocka Famed's there. - Garcelle is a queen. - Yeah. - Like, what? - That is so weird. And by the way, Kyle was filming Halloween or something like that. So she was not in town. - Oh, okay. - You're in Beverly Hills. - No, but it would have been Kyle is the point because she was on the show the longest. And so, yes. But that's. - I think you're saying it wrong. - It was perfectly. - Yeah, perfectly Kyle. Stacey and Toronto, all caps. Andy, please shave. Love you. You know what? Stacey, I trimmed it and I think you'll find it looks much better. - Trimmed what? - My beard. - Okay, well I'm looking at it now. Looks a little long. - Trimmed it again this morning. - It was longer than that? - Yeah. - I think it looks great. - Yeah, me too. - Yeah. - Amy, it's so nice that Stray Dave wants to visit your parents while he's in St. Louis. However, the main reason he's going is to visit his daughter at college, you staying an extra day and wanting to spend time with him Friday and Saturday night, might infringe on his alone time with his daughter. All to say it's great, you'll both be there at the same time and you'll get to spend time with him, but it might have worked out the best. You can't stay the extra night. - Who is that? - Amy. - Amy? - Amy? - Just butt out. I mean, Stray Dave and I know what's up. - Amber Nichols says the yellow in your hair might be from heat, which is something that could cause that. Oh, we talked about this. - You gotta figure this out. - Because I was using shimmer-lite shampoo and it was really making my gray pop and now it's just making it kind of yellow. I don't understand. - Well Amber also said she's a hairdresser and it might be your hard water. So she consider a shower head filter attachment, clarifying your hair also helps. She recommends the purple clarifying shampoo from Beyonce's hair care line. - Oh, okay. Nick from the UK, back to West Percentral headquarters from the inbezzling via the skull effing to the back in your cave. I can't, it was the funniest one yet. It definitely took my mind off the bring/take thing as that shit freaked me out. Did John bring his coffee from the cafeteria but then take it to work sleepless nights over that one? John Barat, his dog Pete to work yesterday. - And I'm gonna take my doctor pepper home. - Yes, okay. But I'm also gonna bring my dog home. - Okay. - I don't know, I can kind of see both. - Yeah. Susie Najel, who is the person who complained about Jordan's laugh, just to clarify, I like Jordan's laugh just not after every comment. Some days it's constant. And I am a raging liberal, definitely not Maga from a liberal blue region of Ohio. - Well, you know, convert some, some, convert some people in Ohio to your side. And also, are they still eating the cats? Speaking of cats in Ohio. Remember that was a big problem. - Darren the Karen, I would not recommend using snow for cleaning your rugs or trusting that it's clean at all. I found this out back in the late 1900s at college when we collected a bunch of snow to put in our bong. It looked pristine and it's just the middle of nowhere near York State and then it melted and it was not pristine at all. - Well, girl, that was the bong, not the snow. - It's dirty. Your bong's dirty, bitch. - I remember that bong water. I used to drive around with like a three foot bong in my car in LA. And that water was nasty. - The snow on my terrace was pristine. - Maybe from the top, well, there's no dogs pissing and pooping right. - Yes, it's at the top. It's untouched snow. - But it is falling from a polluted sky. - Is the sky polluted? - Yes, of course. - Hell, or, alright.
