hyperbolic or act like everyone's not okay.

We're like, this is their work, you know?

This is also the Bravo ecosystem, too.

And you made a good point, Danny, because I don't think people should make any mistake about it.

Vanderpump cast members definitely monetized it.

They just did it in a different way.

Like it's different when you see Carl and Lindsay

almost crack a joke and have a little levity in this scandal when it was scandival you had every vanderpump person who had a podcast like would go on their podcast and just like absolutely destroy tom and you had you had jacks taylor for a moment was like the knight in shining armor and he was mine like everyone was monetizing it him and britney got like their own show on peacocks

They were just doing it by destroying Tom and Rachel.

They weren't doing it by making and cracking a few jokes.

But to your point, I think it's smart that Lindsay and Carl are doing it because maybe they did learn the lesson.

It's just like, hey, we can criticize, but let's not go too far that where we can't come back from this.

It will be interesting to find out where Carl and Amanda were kind of like maybe they were just both kind of over it and they were kind of operating as people who like cared about each other as humans but realized that the romance was gone.

They never had kids together so that kind of maybe that's easier to get over than having like a shared custody that can be difficult because like we don't have a lot of time to get into deep into the valley but like

At the end of season, episode one of the season, you have Jesse and Michelle's still fighting.

You got Jesse's new girlfriend.

And sometimes like when you go through divorce, on one side, it could be very difficult and there's so much like emotional baggage.

But sometimes you get divorced after so many years and you're just kind of like, you know what?

This is really...

the best for both of us.
