00:00I was on a beta blocker as well, but that's not why I was disengaged.
00:04You know, when Kyle and I have had arguments,
00:06my defense mechanism is to just shut down and dissociate.
00:14Virtual reality.
00:16Hi, I'm Danny Murphy.
00:17I'm Evan Riel.
00:18And we are really in the city because we are in part one of the In the City reunion.
00:23And we were rehashing a lot of, of course, not surprisingly,
00:28rehashing a lot of stuff from the summer house reunion with Amanda and Kyle.
00:32Andy finally got to ask Amanda if she was on any beta blockers.
00:36Yeah. And she says she was, but that's not why she was checked out.
00:39She just uses disassociation as a coping mechanism.
00:44Yeah, she, I, it is impressive.
00:47Every time she talks, I'm like, what are you doing?
00:49But maybe that's why she disassociates.
00:51Cause she's like, I don't really know what to say anyway.
00:52Do you know what's funny is apparently she, you know,
00:56gave a word towards the end of the reunion.
00:58And I think was it.
01:00Oh, Kenny said, that's amazing.
01:01And then she couldn't remember what she said.
01:04And then she tried to reshare her sentiments.
01:07And I, I didn't even remember what she said.
01:09That was so amazing.
01:10Cause I didn't clock anything she said as particularly poignant.
01:13The resharing was in regards to the whole minions debacle where she was like,
01:19if someone is saying something to Georgina, Yvonne or Lindsay,
01:27not everybody talk at the same time.
01:28Cause then that adds more levels to the minion nature of it all.
01:31What I felt so bad about Andy asked Lexi,
01:34do you feel Lindsay and her friends are mean girls?
01:36And Lexi's like, I thought I was their friend.
01:39Lexi, do you think Lindsay and her friends are, are a mean girl crew as,
01:43as Kenny put it?
01:44No, not at all.
01:46I mean, I consider them my good friends as well.
01:51Yeah.
01:51There's a moment where she's like, I'm in the friend group.
01:54Right.
01:54Lexi perplexes me.
01:56Oh.
01:57She seems like a sweet girl.
01:58And I'm really excited for her and Andrea to grow their family.
02:02So many babies,
02:03so many pregnancies on that stage together.
02:05There it's beautiful to see.
02:07It was also really nice to see, you know, going back to Amanda,
02:10like, I wouldn't say accountability,
02:13but a bit more explanation about the whole West situation.
02:18We actually, I don't know.
02:19What was the explanation?
02:21Just more words, I guess.
02:22I guess so.
02:23You know, she was actually talking in a way that wasn't so defensive.
02:25She said that she really regretted the way that she behaved during the
02:29summer house reunion,
02:30because she felt like she went into full on defense mode.
02:32And she, I like how she said something along the lines of,
02:36I wish it, I didn't come off as defensive.
02:38Or I wish I came off sad and upset.
02:40Come off like as sad and hurt, like not me, not hurt,
02:45but upset about how I've hurt other people.
02:48Do you, do you wish you came off sad and upset?
02:50Or that you were sad and upset.
02:51Are you sad and upset?
02:52Do you actually feel bad?
02:53There's a part of me that doesn't,
02:54I don't think she actually feels bad.
02:57Oh, she doesn't give a shit.
02:57I don't think she doesn't.
02:58And also I think like that, like we can't make you.
03:01So, right.
03:02I look at, you know, just cause with reflection,
03:04it seems like she actually never really cared about her friendship with.
03:08No, I, I, I, I would hope not because if this is her caring.
03:13Yeah.
03:13It's pretty tough.
03:14But what was interesting is her talking about how West is supportive of her in a
03:20way that Kyle wasn't.
03:23And then Kyle was like, who, who did your taxes?
03:26Who negotiated your brand deals?
03:27Who like, I mean, it seems like he really held her hand through life.
03:32And I'm assuming what she was trying to say.
03:34I don't think she did a very good job of explaining herself,
03:36but just trying to follow her logic.
03:38I think that West makes her feel wanted and sexy and desired, et cetera.
03:43But then Kyle made a good point that West is a lot of shit that he doesn't mean
03:47just to wrap people around their finger.
03:49Oh, and fully wrapped.
03:50Yeah.
03:51I think it's also the thing Kyle was doing a lot of adulting stuff for her,
03:56uh, which like, I don't know what, like they are in their thirties and forties.
03:59It's, you're just an adult.
04:00But, um, and also he was not treating her positively in other ways,
04:05but I think her and West are probably just like every day is a playground type of thing.
04:10And that's what she wants.
04:11But I'm like, you got until March, honey.
04:13Cause that's when tax season is.
04:14Right.
04:15I know.
04:15Maybe, maybe West can help her out.
04:17I don't know.
04:17Maybe he's a bit more clerically inclined than we think.
04:20We don't know.
04:21And, um, but while we don't know about that, we did get some more groundwork about,
04:25uh, mom shame gate or whatever is going on.
04:31Single mom card gate.
04:32Single mom card gate.
04:32Single mom card.
04:33Yeah.
04:34Lindsay's so great.
04:35Also, I love that she, I think purposefully wore minions yellow.
04:38Oh, she did say, yes, it's minions.
04:40So amazing.
04:41I love that.
04:42I think she should like lean into the minions of it all.
04:44I know.
04:44And I think the minions should lean into their minionry.
04:46It's fun.
04:47They kind of, they kind of are in a way.
04:50Although Lindsay did say.
04:51Well, they weren't minions, but a great group of friends.
04:52Exactly.
04:53I don't watch the minions, but don't they just all run around together in their overalls?
04:57Essentially.
04:57They seem happy.
04:58And if they're not, I actually.
04:59And they eat bananas.
05:00Oh, do they?
05:00They love bananas.
05:02Oh.
05:02Yeah.
05:03The bananas are, they go cuckoo for bananas.
05:05They go bananas with bananas.
05:06Do they just love yellow things?
05:07Maybe.
05:08I don't know.
05:08They love the scent of bananas.
05:09They love the taste of bananas.
05:11They love the texture of bananas.
05:12They love the shape of bananas.
05:14Oh, the minions get down like that.
05:16I don't know.
05:16The shape of bananas.
05:17But it was funny that Lindsay said she is the minion typically in her own friendships.
05:22Lindsay.
05:23Lindsay.
05:23Babe.
05:25You're, you're.
05:26Girl, that was very funny.
05:27You're the, you're the queen.
05:28You're the queen.
05:28Now I do feel like a moment and we texted about this that deserved more when what Lindsay
05:33kind of like shaded Whitney by saying like you do tutorials on making toast.
05:37Which can I say?
05:38Now I don't know about, I, if I don't follow you, Whitney, I'm going to change that right
05:42now.
05:42I'm not sure.
05:43But does she just toast tutorials?
05:44I do follow Whitney and she's a great follow.
05:47And especially for someone who is not culinarily gifted.
05:49I am among those who need a toast making tutorial.
05:54Now how does it, what does she?
05:55I haven't seen this specific tutorial.
05:57I would have to go digging for it.
05:59I, I did miss this exact one.
06:01If it even exists, who knows?
06:03But I will say I do enjoy Whitney's content.
06:05And if she does have a toast making tutorial, I could benefit from it because even still
06:11when I, when I toast my bread, sometimes I, I make it a bit too, too crispy and then it
06:18sets off the fire alarms and it's like, I need tips.
06:21I need tricks.
06:22How do I make toast in a more peaceful manner?
06:24I feel like Whitney could teach me a lot.
06:27So she's gluten free, dairy free.
06:29What does CF mean?
06:32Um, maybe celiac.
06:33And sugar free?
06:34I don't, I'm actually not sure.
06:36CF.
06:37CF.
06:38What does CF stand for?
06:39CF meaning in food.
06:41Um, damn.
06:42Okay.
06:42She got a lot going on.
06:44Good for her.
06:45So she appeals to very specific audiences, which is like kind of cool.
06:48If you're, if you're all those things.
06:50Oh, case and free?
06:51Case and free.
06:51Oh, I've been hearing about that.
06:53Case and free.
06:53I don't really know what it means, but I see it on social media a lot.
06:57Okay.
06:57Well, she is doing a lot.
06:59Oh yeah.
06:59So she really do not throw milk by her.
07:02Yeah.
07:03Oh, okay.
07:04And she's doing a tutorial on how to make a BLT.
07:06So she's staying busy.
07:07I love it.
07:08Um, and girl, you just got to follow.
07:10I'm so sorry.
07:10But, um, it was very interesting to see them go back and forth.
07:15And also, uh, Kenny and her, where the spark is better than ever.
07:22And she starts crying.
07:24We have such a good connection.
07:26And I just think we're in such a great place that-
07:29Why are you upset?
07:30Well, it's just hurtful that people think that I was like on a shore with Kenny for fame.
07:34I don't-
07:35That stressed me out a little bit.
07:36I'm not going to lie.
07:37Well, she was crying about being accused of being with Kenny simply for fame and to be on a TV
07:41show.
07:41So I actually do see what Kenny is saying.
07:45Like, they're in a stable relationship.
07:47And to some, like Gavin, that might be a bit boring.
07:51Oh, yeah.
07:51But that's actually healthy.
07:52That's good.
07:53You kind of want to be in a boring, stable relationship.
07:56I don't know if this is a hot take.
07:59I think they're cute together.
08:00I think they're cute, too.
08:01And also, why would she be with him for fame if she was on a TV show already?
08:07Right.
08:07And I just, I honestly don't think that was even a consideration for either of them, to be completely honest.
08:13Because the show wasn't even a thing when they got together.
08:15And she was also saying, like, on her season of The Bachelor, she wasn't, she didn't actually make it that
08:20far.
08:21She said, I didn't make it that far.
08:22It's not like she was, like, a beloved fan favorite.
08:24She was, you know what I mean?
08:26It wasn't like she was this sort of, like, fame-seeking, attention-hungry, Bachelor Nation, like, cuckoo girl.
08:34Like, she was, like, I don't know.
08:36She was just kind of, like, a nice, normal girl on the show.
08:38And I think she's still just a nice, normal girl that unfortunately struggled to connect with some of the cast.
08:45Do you, what do you make of the concept Yvonne said that Kenny did not do any favors in helping
08:54her nurture a relationship with the girls?
08:57By, like, kind of Kenny coming in hot about all the minions.
09:00Well, I think what Kenny was saying is that he felt immediately defensive because people in, you know, from his
09:07perspective were trying to, like, poke holes in the dynamics of their relationship.
09:10And why did she move cross-country when she didn't even have a ring?
09:13I don't, I mean, it's 2026.
09:16I don't think we need a ring to move in together.
09:18I'm also still thinking, don't you want to live together before you get a ring?
09:20Right.
09:21That's what I think.
09:21I don't know.
09:22And also, like, I don't know, what a ring, what a ring.
09:25Kyle and Amanda had a ring.
09:26Didn't mean a thing.
09:28Yeah.
09:28So, I don't know.
09:29I think that's, like, an interesting critique.
09:32Yeah.
09:32And it also seems curious, part two of the reunion is going to be a lot more unpacking Kyle and
09:39Amanda split, which I'm, like, I'm good.
09:43I don't know.
09:44I'm curious what new stones will turn.
09:48Yeah.
09:48I guess we'll see.
09:49Andy will do his big one, hopefully.
09:51And I guess we'll, you know, learn more.
09:53I am.
09:54I do wonder, because he did wear a pink suit recently for something.
09:56Was it for Summer House?
09:58Maybe.
09:58Or Rhode Island?
10:00Because I was laughing when he was, like, I was going to wear a pink suit, but I'm not messing
10:03around with this.
10:03I was, like, oh, I feel like he does have a pink suit that he loves to wear.
10:05Yeah, I don't think anyone wore pink, right?
10:07No.
10:08That's, like, a controversial color now, thanks to Yvonne and Danielle.
10:12Danielle.
10:12And, I mean, and I did, I know, I do feel like we'll have to get into more of the
10:16wedding debacle.
10:17And also, I'm, like, does Yvonne care any more about the room?
10:21About the room?
10:22Oh, oh, oh, about the single card mom room.
10:24Yeah.
10:24I don't know.
10:25I don't know, because it seems like she and Lindsay are in a good spot.
10:30And I honestly do think, I don't, I mean, Whitney apologized.
10:35I don't agree with her saying what she said about the single mom card, et cetera.
10:39I think that was, like, kind of hurtful, and I think she realizes that now.
10:42But I don't disagree with Whitney and Kenny thinking that giving that room to Yvonne in that moment could help
10:53resolve any lingering tension from how disastrous everyone made their wedding.
10:59I know.
10:59I do get where it's, like, oh, Kenny should have texted Lindsay in the car, like, hey, I just offered
11:02this.
11:03Yeah, maybe.
11:05But they had just recently connected in a, you know what I mean?
11:09It's, like, they had had a rocky dynamic.
11:10I guess it's, like, if they're co-hosting the trip together.
11:13Yeah.
11:13But I can see if they're not, like, truly friends, that wouldn't be, like, a natural thought for him.
11:18But then, like, he should have.
11:18It would have made it easier, for sure.
11:20Yeah, and he should have naturally known, like, Lindsay's going to want the best room.
11:23Yeah.
11:23I just don't think he's been around Lindsay in a setting where cameras are, so he probably doesn't, like, know
11:27how she operates.
11:29And then he found out.
11:30He did find out.
11:31And we all found out that Kyle Cook is great at sex.
11:34And I love that for him.
11:35I love to hear that.
11:36Yeah, that's great.
11:37And who spread that rumor?
11:38Was it Sal?
11:39Apparently, Sally told Lala and Lala said.
11:42Okay.
11:42I like that for Kyle.
11:43I love it.
11:44I think that's good, yeah.
11:45And he's having sober sex.
11:46Not always, but sometimes.
11:47And Amanda was in tears upon hearing that news, because that's a big step for Kyle.
11:52Yeah, to have sober sex.
11:54So, you know, revelations were abound.
11:56Yeah.
11:56And abound to you.
11:57So, we will see next week what more goes down in the city.
12:00Hong Kong, get in the cab or take the subway.
12:02Hong Kong, get in the cab or take the subway.
