This is crazy. Actually, no, she's not. A flawless wife. Apparently flawless.
So we were on the plane. We were flying this weekend. And I downloaded JetGPT for the first time.
Okay.
I was just kind of playing around with it, asking random questions.
Cool.
And I was listening to a podcast talking about how you could roast yourself using AI. So I asked chat to roast me.

Catching up. Together. Both with child.

Also, we have Timothy Simons from the hit show Nobody Wants This. Now season two is on Netflix. Everyone's watching. Everyone's loving it. He returns to The Vile Files. He was a guest back in like a long time ago.
Really? What was he talking about back then?
We were just talking. Just talking.
Okay.
Yeah. Long before any of you probably showed up. Question for the ladies in relationships. Marriage. Like, you're married. You're engaged. We're married. If you die, how long is it acceptable for you to get remarried?
Whoa. Never.
Never? Whoa. What if I got remarried in a year?

Chapter 3: What are the main themes of the RHOC finale?
Probably a defensive player. Yeah. What was Louie dressed as? He was Baby Shark. Oh, cute. Do y'all listen to that song a lot? Baby Shark. Do, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah. Yeah, we listen to it a lot. We listen to it a lot.
Also, there were some girls dressed as six and seven.
What is that? What is it?
Apparently, dictionary.com has named six seven as the 2025 word of the year. It's not even a word. It's a number.
It's two words. Can someone explain it to me? Because I also saw someone dressed as six and seven. I don't know what this is.
Something kids are saying. I did just call it 67 a couple minutes ago, and Sierra corrected me. So apparently, I'm unk, and she's not.
What is it? It's just like a nonsensical saying.

Chapter 4: What insights does Shannon Beador share about her relationships?
It's the way you say it, and Natalie, please do.
Six seven. What does it mean? Y'all know I'm one with the kids.
What does it mean?
It's just supposed to be absurdist, I think. So it has no meaning. Yeah, it intentionally has no meaning to piss people off.
It's the way you say it. Like, that's why people just, six seven.
So like, you know, you could be like, why'd you do this that way? And you'd be like, six, seven. Oh my God.
I get it. I don't know.
I think that was it. It's like if you get frustrated, then it's like mission accomplished.
Yeah. I think it's just, yeah.

Chapter 5: What challenges did the cast face this season?
And by the way, this season has been tough. We'll find out. On a few cast members, there are a lot of very, very opinionated viewers. So they will reach out and send very nasty, threatening, very threatening DMs to a lot of our castmates. putting very horrible labels on them and threatening. So it's been a very different season.
Chapter 6: What was the significance of the reunion discussions?
So look, we all went back to our rooms and said, this is not the Gretchen that we know. This doesn't make sense. And topics will be discussed at the reunion related to this string of hosts, I guess you would say. Did Alexis and John get married? Yeah, they did.
Did Jen go?
No, she did not. But but she did text. Jen did text Alexis saying good luck today. And then Alexis called her and invited her to come on the day of. But Jen was busy. Yeah, Jen was busy.
Going back to the Gretchen of it all. Sorry. If it does, for whatever reason, we come to find that they are authentic and that Gretchen, these likes are real and these potential comments are real. Where do you go from here with Gretchen?
I mean, that's it. I think that you can see how all of us would feel because you see it happen in real time. You know, it's just, there's no, none of us have any space.
It would be hard going forward.
Absolutely. I think I say in the finale, most of my friends are from the LGBT plus community.

Chapter 7: How did Allie feel about her portrayal on the show?
So I can't, I can't, you know, be close to someone that would do that. But again, you know, you'll have to watch at the reunion and see, is Gretchen capable of doing this?
Do you want Katie back next year?
Well, I just, like, it's, I don't know. It's not my decision.
Well, I'm glad you said that because first I wanted to ask that question, but then I have a follow-up question, and let's just play a game. Do you like games?
I like games.
Let's say it was. And let's say you have, and not just Shannon the person, but you're the producer. And so I want you to, and a fan, because I watch this as a fan too. Like I'm not just, I understand as the human being, you have to preserve like your mental health and you're like, I don't want to fuck with this person.
It's like, but like if you had to wear all the hats of, from the fan's point of view, from a producer standpoint, obviously you as a cast member, you should consider yourself. It's only fair. Do you cast, is she good overall for the show? regardless of how you might feel about her personally.

Chapter 8: What insights did Anton share about his relationship with Allie?
So I remember in my very first season, I wasn't getting along with Tamra and Heather. And the showrunner called me and said, we're going on an all cast trip. So you're going to film with Tamra and Heather. And I said, you got to get yourself on that trip because it wouldn't be believable that I would go.
And so we did come to amends and they were actually genuine, but I would have a very similar conversation with Katie saying, how do you see yourself being able to integrate back into the group? And what, what, what are your intentions to try and get there?
What would you cast her?
Well, it would depend on the answer. If she were to say, I'm steadfast and I'm sticking to every single thing that I've said, I would say, well, that's not going to work.
That's good. Yeah. I feel like there needs to be, if Katie just is, I have nothing else to say than anything I've ever said and this is all I'm going to say, then I guess there's maybe no point. There needs to be some arc.
Yeah. I mean, what is your plan? If you come back, what is your plan, Aidy?
Same question, but about Tamara.
If you were a producer, would you cast Tamara? You know what? I've said this many, many times. I can be angry at someone, but I would never want to interfere with anyone's livelihood. So I never say, oh, this person should be fired or I want them fired. It's just not good energy.
Would you want to bring Vicki Gunvalson back?
