Welcome to Pod Meets Twirled, a podcast that began with Dancing with the Stars, continued through Castles, Traitors, Strategic Deception, and because our producers, along with many of our listeners, apparently enjoy watching two confused middle-aged men struggle through wildly successful reality television, we have now arrived at a place neither of us fully understands. Bravo.

Chapter 2: How do Will and Rider analyze the characters in In the City?
Yes. Oh, good question. Oh, it did. Then we shouldn't watch it. It happened, correct, yes. So the reunion was shot, I believe, maybe like a month ago, month and a half ago. So everything had come out with the whole scandal. So it was Sierra's moment to really address Amanda and West and what's going on. Do most people, I'm sorry to interrupt.
Do most people following this scandal, is it like Sierra is the only one that is kind of coming out unscathed? Like she's kind of, how could people do this to Sierra and the rest of them are kind of in the quagmire? Is that? Yes. Okay. Sierra is the hero for lack of a better term. And Kyle has also emerged as somewhat of a hero too, right? The cheating DJ who's clearly an alcoholic is the hero.
He's just a lover boy. He's just a lover boy. Is the hero. I mean, that's amazing. Wow. Exactly. Do you want like a little mini breakdown of reunion? Well, if we're not going to watch. I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to spoil. You have to understand, Ryder, for what I get, this is not the in the city reunion. We still have that to come to.
This is a reunion of a show that we did not cover, which is the original show that this spun off from. OK, so but they might have already shot in the city, but this is the first time they confronted each other. But it's technically not the in the city cast. It's the summer house cast. But they really cover the scandal. Did I get that right, Maddie? I'm right. That was perfectly set. Exactly that.
So it was summer house. So that's like this is your job or something.
Right.
danielle who um so so then i mean yes could we get a bit of a breakdown yeah so it was really the first time sierra kyle amanda and west were in the same room together to talk about this lindsey who's in the city was also in there okay for the summer house reunion so she was there to witness it but
Essentially, Sierra was telling Amanda and West, like, I cannot believe I have to address you guys like this. She's more hurt by Amanda than West because they were such close friends. She was saying, like, I knew or I suspected that this relationship was going on back in January because you were at West's house and I saw your find my friends location and you didn't answer me.
And it's the whole thing. I'm sorry. Wait, if again, just trying to get everything down. If that's the case in this, what did happen in January? She was still very much married to what's his name in January, right? Kyle. Kyle. They were separated, but they're still married even to this day. They're still married. Oh, so they never got divorced. So they're just separated. Okay. Exactly.

Chapter 3: What controversial fashion choices are discussed in this episode?
Well, I like when Lexi describes why they did this. Her quote is, he's a great looking guy. She's great looking. So I think it's a good match. Yeah. Okay, some deep analysis going on here. This is how we make decisions. And I thought the point of this was that it was not going to go well, but then Lindsay is like, Frank is so hot.
She loves this guy.
She loves this guy. Frank works in milk and dairy, which I was like, what does that mean exactly? It's a club, milk and dairy. I mean, it was really like you live in New York and you work in milk and dairy. What does that mean? Do you like ship milk? If you have to ask. Yeah. Oh, and Maddie brings up a good point. Aren't milk and dairy the same thing?
Well, no, because it could be like milk and cheese. You could do both. It could be like more dairy products than just milk. Well, then you would just be, I work in dairy. I work at that. Well, it's milk and dairy, Ryder. Why is milk and dairy? It's the same thing. I guess I mean like saying I work in steak and meat. Right, exactly. I work in steaks and meats. I work in pork and meats.
But I have serious high hopes for Frank. I'm pinning my comedy timing on Frank. I'm hoping Frank's going to deliver, because I think he is. I really think he is. Well, Lindsay gets flustered. She's immediately worried about her breath. She has to run away. Then Danielle arrives. Lindsay...
hesitates to say hi to her, but does say hi to her, so I'm not quite sure what this was, but Danielle is somewhat hurt by it. Oh, the fake, the Lindsay fake, like, oh, I didn't even see you there. Hi, how are you? It's like, you knew she was there. Like, you knew she was there. Is that what you were thinking? I was kind of like, whatever, at least she's not. But she knew she was there, clearly.
She's like, I think they even said before, like, oh, she just walked in, oh, she's behind you, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, I didn't know you were here. It's like, it's just so, like, ugh, just, you know, it's just the same kind of passive-aggressive stuff. It's very, very high school sometimes with a lot of these conversations. It can be very high school. Yeah.
And then Nick, who is, as far as I can tell, the least developed character. He is a guy that's always around, but we haven't really learned anything about him. I don't think he's dating anybody. Am I wrong? He's just kind of there. Oh, wait, no, Nick. Nick is married to Yvonne. Yeah, Nick is Yvonne's husband.
She wants to have a baby, and he keeps trying that he doesn't want to have a baby, right? Yeah, she flew to San Diego, and he didn't notice. Remember, he's the good dog dad. Right, well, that's what this scene ends up being about is that he's like, this is Jackson's best friend. Yeah. And I love that Kyle's like, Jackson, your dog? That's your dog, right? It's your dog, right? Oh, my God.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts feel about the relationships portrayed in the show?
And then our final scene is Kyle zooming with his mom. Do you notice the watch? No. Go back and watch. The watch keeps going like, it's 11 minutes faster. It's now 3.57. It's now 4.15. It's now 4.03. It's now 3. So they obviously cut up the conversation with his mom and put it in different orders. Oh, of course. Because the watch time is changing. Oh, that's interesting.
It ends at 4.14, but then when they cut him with his hands and his watch says 4.01. So it's like they keep cutting up the conversation. It's very interesting. Interesting. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, well, so his mom apparently recently has had surgery. His dad has got melanoma, which felt very familiar to me. Doesn't this, like, every time you call your parents, it's like, oh, who's walking now?
Said the same thing. Yep.
Said the same thing. Like, oh, this is every time I call my parents. This is midlife calling your parents. Yep. And then Kyle tells his mom that he and Amanda have separated. And I thought this was a really intense moment with his mom starting to cry. Yeah. And just, like... This is heartfelt, you know, and the way she's just I feel so sorry for both of you.
But, you know, it was really interesting that the thing that I thought about, too, is unlike in any other normal relationship, this couple that's been together for 10 years, their parents have watched it. Like, you know, they're watching the show. So they're watching these fights. They're watching the makeups. They're watching that we haven't had sex in seven years.
They're there for every step of the way in a way that parents are normally not there for their children's relationships. It's such a weird... Depth of like watching this. Yeah, it hit me so strange. I'm like, my God, they've been like... Imagine having a camera on you and Alex all day and your parents and her parents are watching it happen. It's so strange to think about that level of... Right.
I don't know. And again, they're asking for it. So it's not like- But I wonder, is it that, I mean, I totally agree. It's like, it's, but is it that different from a lot of people's lives these days with social media? Because I actually think that like- Not to this extent, but probably more so than it used to be.
But I do feel like a lot of people engage with Facebook or Instagram and publicize their relationship and their fights and their conversations and their friend groups. And so for, I think, a lot of people, there is like a sort of audience constantly, whether that's your parents or just your friends. There's this sense that...
Other people are always watching or, you know, we're all narcissistic in that way. That's the thing is you want them to watch. I can't eat the salad until I take a picture of it and let everyone know the salad that I'm having. Like, really?
