It's really weird. So Louie sleeps in our bed, so it actually happened while we were there in the middle of the night. And River was also with us in our bed when she threw up. She often will join us halfway through the night sometimes. Yeah, that's actually how we rung in the new year. I otherwise would not have seen 1 a.m., but we had a late night.

Chapter 4: What vulnerable story does Rosalyn Yellin reveal on the show?
No, I know. I mean, yeah, with the flu, I mean, I'm next. But in general, I wish I could. I would do two flus so Natalie wouldn't have to do one. I think it's only fair if you were married to someone, if there was a way. How could you say no? It's like if science presented itself with, hey, you could trade pain. That's kind of how I feel about birth control.
Anyways, this is all to say I really love my wife and she is down bad. And we are keeping the ship alive, the boat afloat. I don't know what it is. But we do have a wild and wacky episode for you. We have the Salt Lake City premiere, or finale, rather. It was so good. Another banger. So good. It's really like a... High art. Poetic that it took place in Greece, but it's like a Greek soap opera.
I don't know. It's a real... A tragedy. It's a Greek tragedy. Thank you, a Greek tragedy. It's Aristotle's Poetics, you guys. It's very poetic. We also... We weren't expecting to do this, but we have tapped in to the Members Only Palm Beach. And we have a guest for you. There's some drama going on with the ladies of Palm Beach. And we have...
Chapter 5: How does the Ashley Tisdale and Hilary Duff feud unfold?
Coming up in this episode, Roslyn Yellen. And Roslyn reached out to us. Apparently, one of her co-stars went on friend of show Heather McDonald, her show, and said some things that rubbed her the wrong way, told some untruths, according to Roslyn. So she is here. To set the record straight. So if you're watching Members Only on Netflix, get ready because it's going to be juicy.
But before that, we also have Alex Baskin, the executive producer of Vanderpump, Beverly Hills Housewives, and Real Housewives of Orange County. So a lot of burning questions. And the Valley Persian style. Also the Valley Persian style. So a busy man in the Bravo universe. And we have him on our couch. He's been here before. He's a great interviewer.
Always answering our burning questions about all things in the Bravo space. So we are excited to have Alex as well. Before we tap into the Salt Lake City, I don't want to get into it because it seems messy and I don't want anything to do with it. But that friend group chat with Ashley Tisdale is getting bananas. Yeah, it's some classic Disney Channel beef is all I have to say.
Now you have Hilary Duff's husband just getting messy.
Chapter 6: What themes emerge from the Members Only: Palm Beach series?
Matthew Koma has entered the chat. Listen, I love a protective husband, you know, but up until this point, it was just speculation. You know, I think it was Ashley Tisdale's rep was like, hey, there's a different friend group. No, everybody knew. How many friend groups are you, mom groups are you in that you're beefing with? Here's the thing. Here's my take on this beef.
On one hand, I listen to It's Alright, It's Okay by Ashley Tisdale once a week to feel something. So that's my girl. On the other hand. I'm taking no sides to be clear on this. Sorry, Mary, continue. Yeah. No, no, no. I'm not either. Because Hilary Duff also one time literally had beef with Faye Dunaway, like movie star Faye Dunaway, and handled herself. And that is a diva I can respect.
She also penned the amazing song Come Clean. So it's just like when I see a feud like this, I think, thank God for two divas fighting. What did Ashley expect to happen? You know, you wrote about other famous people. If you write in the cut, you might get cut. In a cryptic way. Sounds like she's already cut. Thanks. Well done. That group photo of all of their faces is circulating.
So I'm like, I feel like her husband must have just seen it and was like, there's no way that you're denying who it is. I was actually very impressed with her husband's photoshopping skills. Yeah, honestly, I didn't realize it was Photoshopped.
Chapter 7: How does the cast of Members Only navigate their social dynamics?
I thought he just did a whole Photoshop. I thought he called up the cut and was like, hey, interview me. Was it not a reenactment? No, it's just a Photoshop of his head. That's her hand and everything that's like on the face. He got a Canva premium. Yeah, no, he really, he's really crushing. Adult friendships are very, very prickly. We talk about them a lot on Ask Nick.
By the way, good time to remind you that Vile Files Plus is available for you. And we have some great things going on in Vile Files Plus. We have your updates from your callers. We also have our deep dives into your favorite reality TV shows. We'll dive even deeper into shows like the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City finale. Pop extras were all your burning pop culture topics.
We'll definitely dive really deep into the mom chat on that. So we don't ruffle any feathers publicly. I just got to say, you know, adult friend groups are tricky. When one doesn't serve you, just disengage. You know, it's just like, Ashley, what did you kind of... I don't feel like this is going the way she hoped.
Chapter 8: What etiquette rules are important in the Palm Beach social scene?
Well, did you see, Nick, that Chris Leminkoff tweeted me realizing I wasn't mentioned in Ashley Tisdale's losing friends article. I emoji. Didn't I start the trend back in 2021? 14 friends. And it's like they're not part of the same friend group. That's what I told Sierra. Like people thought that she was saying she was that friend group. But no, she's just like She had her own friend group.
She's the OG of the friend group drama. It did remind me of when I, like when you were a kid and you introduce like two friends, you're like, Hey, I'm friends with you both. Like you guys should meet. And they become really close friends and they have like a sleepover and you're not invited.
that happened to me with two of my friends in high school yeah no i think hasn't has it not happened to everyone here or am i just like a loser but they hooked up hooked up no no no it's happened to everyone yeah the silence you're like oh i can't relate nick yeah no it's it's yeah it's happened to all of us no it do be real speaking of friend groups yeah we got the ladies um the sisterhood right okay all right round the table team who
uh um lisa and meredith sierra is team lisa and meredith all the way in a shocking reaction to no one i am reverently meredith and lisa barlow i love that girl down i'm sorry i misjudged you I'm actually team Lisa fully. After when the Greek play thing was happening and her little interview was like, I don't care what's in that play. I know who I am. I was like, all right, bitch.
This has happened to everyone, right? Like the ladies love to just all band together against one person. And it's Meredith's turn right now. It's always Meredith's turn. Every goddamn year. She was blamed for Jen Shaw going to jail. It's been Brittany. It's been... I... Team Meredith and Lisa, which is I never would have thought.
I just don't like, I don't like them telling her that she has an issue and not giving her the chance to literally just say, no, I don't have an issue. And they're not believing her. And she's like, what am I supposed to do at a certain point? Like you hit a wall. They did the right thing in like some instances.
Like I think I'm team all of them in some cases, but I think at the end of the day, Lisa did the right thing by saying like, this is not right. Like what you're doing right now is not good. And like when Heather was like, you're drawing the line. It's like, nobody's drawing the line. You guys are just alluding to things that are like,
And when she said, you're not a safe space to Whitney when he's trying to come up and talk to Meredith. Like, get away from her. Oh, my God. I would have lost it after I got attacked by all my friends. And then another friend stands up and, like, physically grabs me. I would have... Oh, my God. Get off. Get off of me right now. Right? And then, like, listen...
I empathize with, like, I mean, Whitney Rose, we love. Friend of show. You know, I think she's great. Mary, huge fan. But, like, obviously, and they've been open about their personal struggles. Mary with her son. We now know he's been incarcerated. A little preview. them talking about it in the reunion part one.
