Housewives Universe Lisa vander Pump. Lisa vander Pump is successful. To me, she's very successful. She's been very smart. I think it was Kyle who called her Bobby Fisher. She plays the game of Housewives like Bobby Fisher, and why shouldn't she have That's what it is. It's not necessarily reflective of someone's real life entirely. So she played the game and in many ways she won. Let's see about her individual businesses. Vander Pump Sangria. I don't think that
that was a success. I think that that was a fail. That doesn't mean a ton because sangria is a category that seemed like something that everybody was going to buy into. It's very seasonal, it's very specific, and it's not something you're gonna sell hundreds of thousands of cases in. So that's a fine grade for starting it, and not an f for it not doing well. But not really necessarily
her fault, just probably a lack of research. Skinny Girl had a Sangria Also, because just because we think it's a good idea doesn't mean it's marketable nationwide, doesn't mean it's year round. There are so many things that go into cocktails, and all of these Housewives spirits brands follow the successive Skinny Girl, so I give credit for them following in my footsteps, jumping in and wanting to ride
that wave. Vandr Pump has rose, Chardonnay, and cabernet, so it's not a massive brand to my knowledge, case wise, but it's a no brainer and it's very smart. She has the vehicles, she has distribution channels because she has restaurants, So even if you only had your want on your own restaurant, which is not the case, that would be smart.
So I'm not giving a Sangria an F. I'm giving it a C because just because it didn't do well doesn't mean it's like an F. She launched a product, i'd say, on her wines overall, just as an idea, a concept and a product line. I think it's a solid BB plus vander Pump Vodka. I don't know enough, but I know that it's not going going to pop off. I just know enough about this business. I'm not betting on it, but I can't grade it. It's getting it
incomplete because it hasn't. It launched this in twenty twenty three. If that single fan base that watches vander Pump rules can push a product through. It could do fairly well, but it won't be like a jugger, not success. I could find out the number of cases that the Vanderpump wines have done, but my gut is that it does well but nothing to blow the doors off. But I'm
sure she makes a decent amount. Listen, she owned a restaurant, and that's very difficult to start a restaurant, run a restaurant, keep one open, be successful at it, be profitable all and to then do a show with that as a backdrop is nothing short of genius. Like she has to just get an A for sir. She has to get an a you know, for Tom Tom. I don't know what vander Pump Cocktail Garden is. It doesn't even necessarily matter. These are all really smart paris. I mean, look at her.
She's really doing a great job by opening these restaurants. I don't know if she has to be the operator or if it's really just her brand, but I think she's doing a great job. I think she works with dogs, which is something she's passionate about with her vander Pump Dog Foundation. Wolf by vander Pump is a restaurant opening this winter, Harvey's Lake Tahoe, her second Las Vegas venue,
located in the Paris Hotel. All this sounds wonderful. Her getting another show on Hulu, like she failed at something called the Shadow Lounge. Okay, listen, if I open a restaurant, it would probably fail. So Villa Blanca closed during the pandemic. Okay, that happens. Pump restaurant closed. There's been criticism of her, like me, like everyone, of different areas of business and
different alleged scandals and things. But I don't want to believe those anymore than I want anyone to believe anything that comes out negative about me if it's not true. I don't actually know enough to know, and I'm not into gossiping or saying negative things about people. I've said. She's you know, I think I would have given her for sure Mount Rushmore, except that there was a lot
she didn't film. She'd got an incomplete in her final season on Housewifs because she didn't want to film with these people, and so therefore I can't give a Rushmore because the Rushmore women just kind of finished it off if they had signed on for it, and did everything they were supposed to do, even if they hated it, and just like sort of took the hits. And Lisa, for her own life and possibly her own brand, decided to bow out and didn't film as much and was
absent in a lot of a season. But I don't even have to look at all this to say I'm going to give Lisa vander Pump a B plus a minus. She's not going to get a perfect AA plus because there have been some small stains. But I think she's done an incredible job. I think she's been smart. I think she's on brand. I think she works in restaurants, cocktails, making things look nice, animals. I'm giving Lisavanda Pump a great grade at Housewives University, and she should be coming
to Housewives University to teach a course. I think she's a great housewife, a great housewife graduate, and certainly in the top five to ten percent of successful housewives. So goal Savander Pump. And when I talk about the show, vandr Pump rules by no means by being specific about her. It's about a genre, it's about a whole animal that I letely participated in. So Lisa vand Pump gets a great grade at Housewives University. Keep going, m
