The thing about Rewives and the irony of what's going on is I did Rewives and it was going to be non housewives breaking down housewives and it's been successful and amazing and I love my guests and it's fantastic. Gonna ask Rob Snider or come on to do that too, comedians people. It's just a great thing. And I didn't want to be a show that was going to have housewives on we plan and God laughs. Now that this reality reckoning is happening, and by the way, it's fucking happening.
Like to say that it's happening would be an understatement. So now housewives who want to have a voice and are really scared but dipping their toe in and then jumping all the way in like a Ninny or a person like a Raquel who was super scared, are coming to me and want to fucking sit down and spill. So stay tuned because there's some serious shit coming and
people want to tell their whole story. And I really have realized that I really don't know any of these people where we would do anything to please and anything to get ratings and anything to be on watching What Happens Live and for them to like us and to be the favorite and to help with production. And there are a couple of pets, like Bravo pets that are on the inside that do as they're told, protect the realm,
align with Andy. Won't talk to me now they know where they're being fed, because they're going to have stood up and like either said nothing or said something stupid, and they are going to be caught on the wrong side. Kelly Dodd said Bravo never forced anyone to drink. They
have never poured alcohol down anyone's mouth. The irony of that statement is that Kelly Dodd was on an episode where the housewives were forcing her to drink, and Bravo aired and production facilitated it and helped plant it, and it happened. So we do forget a lot of things that happened on the show that we're on because we black it out. But Kelly Dodd was pressured and peer pressured to drink and production watched it and aired it.
So that's aging like buttermilk fake news. Desmois reported that Ebanie was going to come onto this podcast. I've never met Ebanie. I don't know Ebanie. That was reported by Domois. She was never coming on, I'll give you more fake news. Next time. We'll do one fake news each time. There's another housewife that loves to go on tour and talk about my failures, my failed talk show, my failed TV, and I failed this, I failed that. I will tell you something. You need to lean into your failures. You
need to embrace your failures. You need to know your failures, you need to understand them, and you need to know that without your failures, you wouldn't have your successes. I have had so many failures. I am grateful for my failures. Some of my failures were failing at something I didn't want to do, which is part of probably why I failed something that was overwhelming, a talk show. I did not want to do the talk show once it was up and running because I started and signed on for
it not knowing what it entailed. And also before I was going through the most wretched divorce you could imagine. With a small child, I was holding onto so much stress. The show was supposed to be in LA it got moved to New York. We had no infrastructure. We had done a six week test with Ellen's three producers. We had soaring ratings. We came to New York. We did fine on the heels of Anderson Cooper having a talk show, which was very expensive. I think my talk show was
more expensive, did better than Anderson's show. The two people that ran the studio and ran my talk show got fired. We were alone in New York, and I didn't like it because it was so traffic directing and so not freeing and so trapping and overwhelming while going through a divorce. And it failed, didn't get picked up for another season. I was secretly begging that it didn't get picked up because I didn't want to do it, but it failed. I've failed. I am a failure. I have failed at businesses.
I've done stupid things like do a lunch meet thing because the partnership in Walmart deal was going to be so big that my agent said to do it, and I knew it wasn't a good idea. They wanted to take the commission and I knew, and I folded it real early because I was like, what the fuck am I doing? I've failed. You know who's failed? The Kardashians. Kardashians are failures too, you know how, they're billionaire failures. Okay,
billionaire failures. Tanning, credit cards, hair products, quick Trim. They've had ten thousand failures, but you know what, they're fucking winning and I'm fucking winning because in order to succeed, you need to fail and learn from your failures. Those are case law. You learn something. Ah, you know when I failed at that, I won't do that again. I learned X, Y and Z for that, and I'm gonna
put that into this next business deal. I make triple what I did when I was on the Housewives and I thought I was walking out of the Housewives and leaving millions of dollars on the table, And how the hell am I going to make that up? Well, you know how you make things up by freedom and by embracing your failures. So trust me, anybody who wants to out my failures, I'm not going to come back and talk about your failures. Congratulations on your failures and your successes,
because that's how you win. But only dumb, dumb housewives don't know that. Sorry, not sorry. They think they're putting me down to build themselves up, and they're not. They're
building me up. Look if Bethany Frankel could be on the cover of Forbes magazine, and make three times the money off Housewives, and have a podcast that gets millions of downloads every month, and has a philanthropy philanthropic effort that's done three hundred million dollars and has written ten books, and I had five New York Times bestsellers and multiple products launching. And she's been a failure, then I want to be a failure too, So thank you for bringing it up.
