Chapter 1: What happened at Kathy Hilton's Christmas party?
What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another exciting episode of The Vow Files. I'm your host, Nick, joined by the house of boy. We got a jam-packed episode for you. The one and only Michael Rapaport, Fortune Feimster, both join us later this episode. Plus, well, we went to Kathy Hilton's holiday party. Last night, it was wild.
Lisa Barlow was singing. What'd she sing? Like a holiday song. I didn't recognize it. Maybe it was an original.
I think she's saying, all I want for Christmas is you.
No, she would not do a Mariah Carey. I mean, she would.
I think she would, but I definitely saw a video of her and Kathy singing.
I'm pretty sure she did.
It was not. Away in a Manger, perhaps? I think it was Away in a Manger.
That's her hit.
Yes, it was Away in a Manger.

Chapter 2: What are the latest updates on The Ultimatum?
Oh, no.
There was like little like tufts and but it kind of was giving like filling. You know what I'm saying? Like stuffing filling. Like a teddy bear? From like a teddy bear. But not like a real snow machine. They did have the pool open, which I believe last year it was covered with snow. This year it was open, which seems hazardous. Very much so.
It was like you had to like shimmy around the pool to get to the bar, which feels dangerous. You know what I'm saying? No one fell in. Not on our watch. We did get out of there early.
Yeah. Well, we were by the area edge of the pool and Natalie said, oh, there's Alexis Bellino. And then we immediately, let's get away from the edge of the pool in case Alexis clocks us. And pushes you in. And pushes us in. Yeah.
Yeah.
I would have sued them. And then sue us for that.
I would have sued them. Yeah. Actually, unfortunately for them, I would have.
For being, for what? For being cold and wet.

Chapter 3: How is Tom Sandoval handling his court case?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah. That's harassment.
I think so.
A hundred percent. Exactly. Cold and wet. You ever been cold and wet?
Yeah. All the time.
Yeah.
I did talk to Mary and she remembered that the last year that we were there, I was pregnant. And she, you know, the last year she was like, you're having a boy. We're like, no, I'm not a boy. And then this year she was like, you had a boy. She was like, did you have a boy? I didn't. A boy. But she was like, everyone here is lame. And I was like, I know they are lame.
She's like, I don't want to be here. I didn't want to come. Incredible. It was perfect. It was the Mary that I was hoping for. Yeah. Was she mad that River's not a boy?

Chapter 4: What is the latest drama in the NFL?
Say more. Do you think you're used?
I desire to be useful. Oh. I don't know what man help is, but it doesn't apply to me. Yes, I got caught in a situation where I didn't know where the light was. Mary did jumped up, but I've never just watched people do things I could do on my own.
No, you haven't, but your man help is on your time.
for sure yeah it's like we need to get this down from the attic and it's like do not jump not in this moment as soon as i'm giving an assignment not and not within the hour at all or the next two hours maybe this weekend maybe i was gonna do that after yeah after i get the stool and i crawl up there and it's like well i would have done it i was gonna do that
Saturday morning, I need to decompress from my long week of work. And Natalie wakes up and then she has a list of, oh, my God, here's the things I want you to do today.
You know, clean the rain gutters. Come on.
I have not cleaned the gutters. We hire for that.

Dirty, dirty gutters.

Chapter 5: What did Michael Rapaport think of Bravo's reality shows?
Do you remember when Instagram had the tab where you could see everybody's liked photos? Yes. So intrusive.
Chapter 6: What insights did Michael share about his career?
That got so many people in trouble, ruined so many relationships that needed to be ruined though. Yeah.
No, but, like, that is the point. Even though, like, I don't think we really buy Ms. Knowles' engagement. But, like, I do think people often, like, liked things that didn't necessarily mean they supported those things at times. Because you could accidentally double tap. Or, like, yeah.
You don't even have to double tap. Your thumb just has to be in the wrong place.
Or they have, like, their, like, river, like, holding their phone. And sometimes she's, like, in someone's DM. Maybe Solange had Tina's phone. Maybe Solange had Tina's. And she was, like, kind of, like, sleepy.
Beyonce is sticking by Jay-Z, so a source did speak out and said that she wholeheartedly believes him, supporting him throughout.
Does she have a choice? That's a wife thing to say, for sure.
They also did a whole family photo at the Mufasa.
They were cheering on Blue Ivy. Jay-Z looked a little scared on the red carpet.
He looked lost. He should.

Again, Caraway, non-toxic cookware made modern. Michael, welcome to The Vow Files. Glad to be here. I'm very excited to have you, man. I've always been a big fan of you. One of my favorite movies of all time is True Romance.
Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me.
So it's very cool for me to have you here.
Thank you very much for having me. I am excited to be here. I'm waiting for my coffee. Yeah. One of your minions. Because I want to just clarify. Because I wanted to be on time. We appreciate that. You were early. And the reason why I was early is because I produced, I texted one of your producers. I mean, this is a big fucking operation you got here.
This is not, it doesn't look, on camera, it doesn't look like a big operation. I mean, it looks like a clean, but you walk in, there's people. But I texted, I said, yo, I'm coming, I'm on the way, in an Uber, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Can I get a coffee? And then I was very specific about the Trenti and the two pumps of vanilla and the box. I reached out and I said that.
And then when I got here, one of your minions said, do you really want the coffee? Like I was... A different minion, though. A joke. Like it was a joke. Fucking just throwing it out there. Like a suggestion. And I'm still waiting for it. But I just thought that was very funny. Very, very much of the generation. Do you really want... Yeah, motherfucker.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the latest events in the Bravo world?
After evil.
We'll keep it all in.
I didn't want to... Well, I know you got to beep it because of the clips. Well, the clips will be beeped.
Bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep. But the episode... Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Luigi's a sick fuck. Luigi's a cold-blooded killer. Luigi's got a nice jawline.
And Luigi... Six-pack, too. Six-pack. Don't forget that, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. And Luigi's got nice hair. And Luigi's the cold-blooded killer, if in fact it's him. And I think it is him. And I don't think, despite the fact that the healthcare industry is problematic, I don't think it's acceptable...
to literally dehumanize everybody and anybody who's a part of the healthcare establishment, healthcare world, profiting off of it to dehumanize them and celebrate cold-blooded killing in America.
my city or any city, because I think that when you start dehumanizing and celebrating cold-blooded killers, despite whatever feelings you might have about what the person does, it's a trickle-down effect. And I don't want to go too deep into... That's my take on it. I hear what you're saying. You know what I'm saying?
