[0:26] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um, so me and John were just looking up, we're referring to Love Island.

[0:29] Anjelica Vispisiano: Me and John were just looking up all of the casts following.

[0:32] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[0:33] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh my gosh. Huda went in.

[0:35] Anjelica Vispisiano: Now mind you, everyone is pretty much over a million.

[0:38] Phil Bracco: Wow.

[0:39] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yes. Yes, from the season. Like, even people who were in one episode.

[0:43] Phil Bracco: No more literally over a million.

[0:44] Anjelica Vispisiano: Huda went in with a hundred thousand followers.

[0:46] Anjelica Vispisiano: Do you know she has three point three million on Instagram, three point five on TikTok?

[0:51] Phil Bracco: Oh my gosh.

[0:53] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah. They all like blew up. Insane.

[0:56] Phil Bracco: They're saying it's the biggest social media following from any television show ever.

[1:01] Anjelica Vispisiano: Holy shoot, that's crazy.

[1:03] Phil Bracco: Across the board.

[1:04] Anjelica Vispisiano: I go, I could not get into it. It was insane. I cried so hard.

[1:08] Phil Bracco: I wish that I would have watched it. The finale was amazing.

[1:10] Anjelica Vispisiano: It was so good.

[1:11] Tommy Bracco: You'll watch next season.

[1:12] Anjelica Vispisiano: You're happy with who won?

[1:13] Phil Bracco: Yeah, of course.

[1:15] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yep. I'm very happy.

[1:16] Phil Bracco: Yeah, people love Tara.

[1:17] Anjelica Vispisiano: So one person wins?

[1:19] Phil Bracco: Um, a couple wins.

[1:21] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh, okay.

[1:22] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[1:22] Anjelica Vispisiano: Are they in love or just, you know?

[1:25] Phil Bracco: They're in like, you know, they're definitely gonna continue dating outside, but you know, it's, you're in a bubble in there.

[1:31] Anjelica Vispisiano: It's like, it's hard to say, yeah.

[1:32] Phil Bracco: Yeah, it's the same as Big Brother, I guess.

[1:35] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[1:35] Phil Bracco: You're just in this bubble.

[1:36] Anjelica Vispisiano: And true that.

[1:38] Tommy Bracco: Speaking of, yeah, speaking of Big Brother's back.

[1:43] Phil Bracco: What do you guys think of the cast? First impressions.

[1:44] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay, so I started off and I was like, oh my god, wait, this cast is actually great. And then I watched last night's episode, and I'm like, this is going to be painful.

[1:54] Phil Bracco: I don't think because of the chaos, I think production is actually losing their minds with how corny they're making this.

[2:00] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know. It has taken a turn and gotten campier for sure.

[2:05] Phil Bracco: Like if you go back and watch old seasons, it wasn't like this.

[2:09] Anjelica Vispisiano: What is, what are they doing?

[2:11] Phil Bracco: Well, I know. I don't mind it.

[2:13] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know exactly what you're saying. Like, they really leaned into the camp.

[2:17] Phil Bracco: Yes.

[2:18] Anjelica Vispisiano: This season, this episode specifically, I felt like was, it was like getting shoved down our throat.

[2:25] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[2:26] Anjelica Vispisiano: You don't feel that way?

[2:28] Phil Bracco: Um, I think they kind of missed the mark a little bit last night. There were things they could have done to make it better.

[2:35] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like what?

[2:37] Phil Bracco: Um, so Amy is successful and she's on the show, but they don't, you think they should have been like the negative to the people who got, because they guessed wrong?

[2:48] Anjelica Vispisiano: It was just another guy.

[2:49] Phil Bracco: Yeah, the negative is that there's another house guest that they have to hate against it.

[2:54] Anjelica Vispisiano: Hopefully she continues being a disruptor in the future, you know, an accomplice.

[2:59] Phil Bracco: I think that she's done now with her duties. Now she's just in the game, that's it.

[3:02] Anjelica Vispisiano: Then it really was done. If you want Rachel Riley back, then this is the consequences for that.

[3:07] Phil Bracco: They had to put some sort of twist to get an extra house guest in there to make it work. This is what they came up with.

[3:12] Anjelica Vispisiano: I think it was genius. I do. I think it was great.

[3:14] Phil Bracco: I, uh, I don't like, like in Joe had just said, uh, there was a couple of guests that are really annoying.

[3:21] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um, one hasn't even shown how unannoying he is, Adrian.

[3:25] Phil Bracco: Yes.

[3:26] Anjelica Vispisiano: He hasn't even shown how annoying he can be.

[3:28] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[3:29] Anjelica Vispisiano: All right. Well, I want to hear who your like standouts are.

[3:33] Phil Bracco: Oh my goodness. Who do you love? Who do you hate?

[3:35] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay, let me pull up the cast just so I have their names correctly.

[3:38] Phil Bracco: Love Vince.

[3:39] Anjelica Vispisiano: Big Brother. What season is this?

[3:41] Phil Bracco: Twenty-seven cast.

[3:43] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay, so you love Vince, you love Morgan. Great. Who else?

[3:45] Phil Bracco: Okay, here we are. I'm obsessed with Lauren.

[3:49] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know she's, Lauren's, Morren had it right. She had it right.

[3:52] Phil Bracco: I love that they're giving her that edit too. That she's not just the pretty girl.

[3:56] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like they gave her the edit that she was the only one that clocked that it had to be a shame.

[4:00] Phil Bracco: She's naturally gorgeous, which is always so refreshing to see on television.

[4:05] Anjelica Vispisiano: She has a brain, which is so refreshing to see the naturally gorgeous girl have a brain on television.

[4:10] Phil Bracco: Like I just feel like I'm gonna love her, and I knew that from the back. I'm sad I didn't put her on my fantasy show.

[4:15] Anjelica Vispisiano: She's on mine.

[4:16] Phil Bracco: Um, I'm also really liking Jimmy. I love that he's like not afraid to go after Rachel.

[4:21] Anjelica Vispisiano: He's not like, you know, like sometimes they like, like the way he was having the conversation with the other two girls, Morgan and, uh, I don't remember who else he was with, but Morgan, Ava, and there was one more, right?

[4:32] Phil Bracco: Yeah, um, but like he wasn't afraid to say, like, this is gonna be bad if we let her stay in.

[4:39] Anjelica Vispisiano: Normally they don't want to say that. They'll say that in the DRs, but they don't want to say that to other house guests, so they don't want to get it back to Rachel.

[4:45] Phil Bracco: Like, he's playing hard but not aggressive, if that makes sense.

[4:49] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, it does make sense. I do think that, um, he will get himself in trouble very quickly.

[4:55] Phil Bracco: Yes, he, and I hope he doesn't because he's my winner pick.

[4:59] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh shit.

[5:00] Phil Bracco: Oh, you know, I always pick the gay.

[5:01] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um, but you don't have to pick the win.

[5:04] Phil Bracco: Morgan, like I'm just playing for fun.

[5:06] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay.

[5:07] Phil Bracco: I thought I would, I want to represent.

[5:08] Anjelica Vispisiano: I thought I was gonna like Morgan, but I didn't like where she was like—

[5:08] Phil Bracco: Me neither.

[5:13] Anjelica Vispisiano: I have so much to learn, I'm a sponge. Like, no, what do you think?

[5:15] Phil Bracco: One, you're assuming that she's gonna help you. Two, like what is she gonna help you with exactly?

[5:22] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, okay. You don't need help in Big Brother.

[5:24] Phil Bracco: Okay, here's my deal.

[5:25] Anjelica Vispisiano: What?

[5:26] Phil Bracco: The reason I like her is because I want Rachel to stay.

[5:30] Anjelica Vispisiano: And using, and that's why I thought what she was saying was good for Rachel. Basically.

[5:36] Phil Bracco: Yeah. I'm really curious, like, how Rachel being there affects, I don't know, just everything.

[5:45] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like the viewership. Like Joey brought up a good point.

[5:49] Phil Bracco: He said, do the casual fans really know Rachel Riley the way that the diehard fans do?

[5:54] Anjelica Vispisiano: Because there's not enough diehard fans for this to make a difference.

[5:59] Phil Bracco: They're all in the house.

[6:00] Anjelica Vispisiano: What?

[6:02] Phil Bracco: The diehard fans.

[6:03] Anjelica Vispisiano: They all like it, you know.

[6:05] Phil Bracco: Well, like the, I'm saying the kids, like the way that they were acting over her, like they're obsessed.

[6:10] Anjelica Vispisiano: You think?

[6:11] Phil Bracco: Oh my god, they were like Big Brother royalty.

[6:14] Anjelica Vispisiano: I think iconic stars production telling them to say that.

[6:18] Phil Bracco: Yeah. I don't think they even really know who she was, honestly.

[6:21] Anjelica Vispisiano: You know her from The Traitors, but it's been a bit since she played.

[6:25] Phil Bracco: Which I thought was so funny that she, not only was she wearing the same brooch that she wore in The Traitors, um, I just think it's funny that like Big Brother has been so like futuristic, techie, advanced, and now like The Traitors blows up and they're pulling, they pull back Sir, they pull in Rachel Riley, um, and now it's a murder mystery.

[6:48] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like, I do love the theme though. It's so good.

[6:50] Phil Bracco: I'm happy that they did it because it is something that's working and that's so much better.

[6:55] Anjelica Vispisiano: I wish there was another older guest.

[6:59] Phil Bracco: Yes, me too.

[7:01] Anjelica Vispisiano: By herself, she's gonna be shot any day.

[7:03] Phil Bracco: I'm just curious how to do it. Why Will and Amy aren't enough for you?

[7:06] Anjelica Vispisiano: I mean, we have two older guests.

[7:08] Phil Bracco: No, I know, but I'm just, I just mean like I'm saying she's the only previous house guest in the house.

[7:15] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like, she's the one returning player. Like that to me is weird.

[7:19] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[7:20] Anjelica Vispisiano: If, yeah. If you had a couple returning players, and then they can band together and fight off the house guests, she's by herself on an island.

[7:27] Phil Bracco: Right.

[7:27] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, but they gave her safety.

[7:29] Phil Bracco: What are we? She's gonna be fine. Trust me, she's gonna be fine.

[7:31] Anjelica Vispisiano: She is a good competitor too. So I feel like she, even if she gets put on the block, it's gonna be hard to get rid of her.

[7:40] Phil Bracco: Um, hold on. That Janelle was great in her day.

[7:46] Anjelica Vispisiano: And the last season she was on, she could not win.

[7:49] Phil Bracco: The competitions are, but Rachel said that.

[7:54] Anjelica Vispisiano: She literally was talking, she was like, look at the flab on my arms. Like, I'm not winning any physical competition.

[8:00] Phil Bracco: Yeah, she knows.

[8:02] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um, Isaiah weird say, yeah, not into him.

[8:08] Phil Bracco: Say, I want him to leave.

[8:09] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, weird.

[8:11] Phil Bracco: Um, okay, do we want to talk about the shower situation?

[8:14] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[8:14] Phil Bracco: All right. You weren't here last night, but they were pinning out what was gonna happen exactly before it happened.

[8:21] Anjelica Vispisiano: Because it's not the point is, like, I don't remember who it was. I think it was Amy was like crying and was like, you're gonna punish this girl because she took a shower.

[8:30] Phil Bracco: It's not because she took a shower, it's because the HOH had just gotten his room.

[8:36] Anjelica Vispisiano: You didn't ask if he wanted to go first. You took your sweet ass time.

[8:40] Phil Bracco: Like, I actually totally agree with that.

[8:42] Anjelica Vispisiano: What else do you have to go off of this first week?

[8:45] Phil Bracco: Right. It was something that like annoyed you. Great. That's all you're able to go off of.

[8:51] Anjelica Vispisiano: Right.

[8:52] Phil Bracco: I think that it was actually reasonable. And the other thing though, was he said to her, listen, we're in a group. Don't worry. You know, we made an agreement. Don't worry about it. You're safe.

[9:00] Anjelica Vispisiano: And then she kept asking.

[9:02] Phil Bracco: Right. Which is like even like coming in and being like, I'm tired, so I want to talk now because I'm tired. Like that was weird.

[9:09] Anjelica Vispisiano: I don't like it. I don't like it. I'm not liking her.

[9:13] Phil Bracco: Don't you think that that could be production?

[9:15] Anjelica Vispisiano: No.

[9:16] Phil Bracco: No. Well.

[9:17] Anjelica Vispisiano: Pushing her to continuously go back to the room.

[9:21] Phil Bracco: I gotta get it.

[9:22] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, she did. She probably waited enough. They were probably in there for a while.

[9:25] Phil Bracco: Right, right.

[9:26] Anjelica Vispisiano: But it doesn't matter. The way she came in and said, I'm getting really tired. Like, we gotta, I gotta cut this short. Like, you don't have the power to do this.

[9:35] Phil Bracco: You gotta wait your turn. Like, no matter if they want to talk all night, and then you can wait up all night. That's their prerogative. Like, that's the position when you're HOH that you get the power to make that call.

[9:47] Anjelica Vispisiano: So, and Twitter's already starting.

[9:49] Phil Bracco: Bad.

[9:50] Anjelica Vispisiano: Bad.

[9:51] Phil Bracco: I didn't even see, honestly.

[9:52] Anjelica Vispisiano: With like him being a white jobless rat and like going after her like for the color of her skin, or like that it's, she did something that was annoying.

[10:04] Phil Bracco: Yeah, that makes no sense.

[10:05] Anjelica Vispisiano: I didn't look at Twitter anymore.

[10:06] Phil Bracco: Yeah, no, Twitter's gonna be hating. Twitter is freaking out.

[10:10] Anjelica Vispisiano: It's weird though, because you really, that just goes to show that first impressions really mean nothing. Like I watched the two-hour long first impression video that they did, their first interview in the DR.

[10:23] Phil Bracco: She was my favorite.

[10:24] Anjelica Vispisiano: She seemed so with it, so cool. I loved her answers. She had a real strategy. So many of them just say fluffy answers. She had real specific examples.

[10:35] Phil Bracco: Then she goes in and she can't read the room and she did what she did. And I'm like, how the, this is the same person?

[10:41] Anjelica Vispisiano: She was actually gonna be my winner pick.

[10:43] Phil Bracco: That's crazy. I'm telling you, like, if she can get back on track, then she's gonna be able to do that.

[10:49] Anjelica Vispisiano: I don't think she's going home.

[10:50] Phil Bracco: I don't think she's going home.

[10:51] Anjelica Vispisiano: No, I don't know.

[10:52] Phil Bracco: Michael home.

[10:53] Anjelica Vispisiano: Amy.

[10:54] Phil Bracco: I know.

[10:55] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[10:56] Phil Bracco: It's just a say. We how about I was laughing, how Rachel was like first alliance.

[11:01] Anjelica Vispisiano: Literally ten minutes prior, there was like another alliance like made between like the three of them.

[11:06] Phil Bracco: She is a good one.

[11:06] Anjelica Vispisiano: Which I love that alliance.

[11:08] Phil Bracco: Who was it?

[11:09] Anjelica Vispisiano: It was Morgan, Jimmy, and someone else.

[11:11] Phil Bracco: Oh, wow.

[11:12] Anjelica Vispisiano: Morgan, Jill, Jimmy, and Mickey.

[11:16] Phil Bracco: Yeah, I like her a lot.

[11:18] Anjelica Vispisiano: I like Mickey a lot.

[11:19] Phil Bracco: Me too.

[11:20] Anjelica Vispisiano: And you want to know who else I like? That's not bothering me, and I'm very surprised.

[11:23] Phil Bracco: Who?

[11:24] Anjelica Vispisiano: Kelly.

[11:25] Phil Bracco: With the glasses.

[11:26] Anjelica Vispisiano: She's kind of not.

[11:27] Phil Bracco: Ava.

[11:29] Anjelica Vispisiano: Eva's annoying me.

[11:29] Phil Bracco: With the hat.

[11:30] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know. I like Kelly.

[11:31] Phil Bracco: Yeah, Kelly's really cool.

[11:33] Anjelica Vispisiano: She's like, she seems authentic.

[11:35] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[11:35] Anjelica Vispisiano: You know, like she's quirky, but it seems like authentic quirky.

[11:38] Phil Bracco: A hundred percent.

[11:39] Anjelica Vispisiano: Versus Ava, who's the other quirky girl, but it feels like it's just forced.

[11:43] Anjelica Vispisiano: A little force, yeah. But I don't think that that's Ava forcing it. I think that that's production overproducing her and making her say these things and making her wear the hat and talk about the aura.

[11:52] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[11:52] Anjelica Vispisiano: So like I look past that and I excuse it almost, but um I was saying to John, I think that between Lauren, Catherine, and Morgan, um, and honestly, even Mickey, they oh, the girls are great.

[12:08] Tommy Bracco: Oh my god, they're beautiful.

[12:11] Anjelica Vispisiano: The girls are great. The girls in this cast are so why are these the worst guys?

[12:14] Phil Bracco: I know they're the worst guys.

[12:16] Anjelica Vispisiano: I don't even think Zach is good looking.

[12:18] Tommy Bracco: I think he's very handsome, actually.

[12:20] Anjelica Vispisiano: I think he's fine, but not like anything special.

[12:24] Phil Bracco: No, I think that the guys are handsome.

[12:26] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh, so you're talking in terms of looks?

[12:28] Phil Bracco: Yes.

[12:28] Anjelica Vispisiano: I don't think Zay is they're like he's like a model.

[12:31] Phil Bracco: No.

[12:32] Anjelica Vispisiano: No. The frosted tips.

[12:33] Phil Bracco: No.

[12:34] Anjelica Vispisiano: I don't like I mean, Zach's fine. I think Zach's handsome. I think Keanu is very handsome too.

[12:42] Phil Bracco: Not nothing.

[12:43] Anjelica Vispisiano: No. No, I they I think he's fine. But I'm saying, okay, sure. They're fine. But the girls are much more than a lot of people. The girls are like they stepped up the casting with the girls like times a hundred trillion.

[12:48] Phil Bracco: But the girls are really I think they're like just I don't know. I think that the girls are great this season.

[12:57] Anjelica Vispisiano: A girl is winning this season. One real there is zero shadow of a doubt in my mind that a girl's not winning.

[13:06] Phil Bracco: I agree.

[13:07] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, I think so. Um I got Morgan as my winner, so Morgan's great. I love that she's keeping the good she's a gamer, a secret. She has life experience, she's 33. I love that. A normal age, a gamer.

[13:22] Phil Bracco: I think Will's gonna do well too.

[13:24] Anjelica Vispisiano: Me too. I think he's gonna do good.

[13:25] Phil Bracco: Me too. I could see that. I love when the old guys look like they're gonna do well.

[13:29] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know. Yeah, um, the cast is very dynamic. And I know that they always try to do that, but I'm really I'm like I'm liking it. Like I said, I think uh my issue is more of a production issue.

[13:41] Phil Bracco: Yeah, that it's just too corny for you.

[13:44] Anjelica Vispisiano: I buy into it. I'm like, all right, we're leaning into the corniness. I could get on board with that. I gotta do that.

[13:49] Phil Bracco: Yeah, like it's it is crazy that they had uh, you know, one competition, they're falling through the ground, another one, then the the demagoric and guy, whatever with the key on his head is coming out. All these weird things are happening. They have to save Julie. It's it's stupid, mindless, it doesn't make sense. But I think that's part of the fun.

[14:09] Anjelica Vispisiano: I'm kinda like leaning into that. I liked it. I I liked it a lot. Um that she's like, but it used to be more serious. It like Big Brother used to be. I almost feel like they're I almost feel like I'm watching a parody on Big Brother.

[14:21] Phil Bracco: Literally.

[14:22] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, and wannabe Traitors, to be honest with you.

[14:26] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[14:26] Anjelica Vispisiano: I could yeah, especially with the theme this season.

[14:29] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[14:30] Anjelica Vispisiano: Even the corniness, like champions is the trade.

[14:34] Phil Bracco: Yes, yes.

[14:35] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like Alan.

[14:36] Phil Bracco: What?

[14:37] Anjelica Vispisiano: Wannabe Traders?

[14:41] Phil Bracco: I I don't know. I it's just not hitting for me production-wise, but I am enjoying the cast, so I'm excited for this season.

[14:53] Anjelica Vispisiano: And it does get more serious because they've been doing this, it just seems like it's at its worst and it's at its peak this season. But it does get more serious once people start going to jury and the numbers dwindle down.

[15:05] Phil Bracco: Yes, a hundred percent. Because I think just the emotions are more real. Like right now, they don't have anything to go off of because everyone's kumbaya.

[15:11] Anjelica Vispisiano: A hundred percent. So it'll get better.

[15:15] Phil Bracco: I don't know. Well, now I want to ask you guys this. There's like this whole dilemma, or not dilemma, like discussion on would you want to go for the first HOH?

[15:25] Anjelica Vispisiano: No.

[15:25] Phil Bracco: Yes or no?

[15:26] Anjelica Vispisiano: I would have to, as my age.

[15:28] Phil Bracco: Right. I think I need to win the first HOH and have people come to me.

[15:32] Anjelica Vispisiano: Right. Otherwise, um sit and duck.

[15:35] Phil Bracco: Yeah. I yeah, I I was thinking about it because for you know, as long as I like remember watching Big Brother, I always thought you gun for that first HOH because then all the alliances come to you, you get to establish a foundation in the first week. Traditionally, or like uh what's the word? Like statistically speaking, first HOH always does really well in the game, but that shifted over the last few years, and especially now that they introduced AI Arena as like a age.

[16:05] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, no, putting three people three people on the block, the four people are safe, they have no one to choose from. And people are grasping at straws to the same thing.

[16:13] Phil Bracco: Yes, that's why the shadow gate is such a thing.

[16:15] Anjelica Vispisiano: A hundred percent. So it I really think that actually, like, I understand not wanting to win it. A hundred percent. If I was in everyone's position, I would say, yes, I'm gonna for HOH, like I would love to play, but then just throw it.

[16:27] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[16:28] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like, I don't like that they were all like, hey, I'm not gonna play.

[16:31] Phil Bracco: Oh, no, I agree with that. That puts a target on your back.

[16:34] Anjelica Vispisiano: All right. I know what you just said there, but I remember in your season that you said I'm throwing the HOH.

[16:41] Tommy Bracco: No, I didn't.

[16:42] Phil Bracco: No way.

[16:43] Anjelica Vispisiano: Then when you Christy was first one, Christy was up there, and you said I she wins, I'm getting off.

[16:50] Tommy Bracco: No, incorrect. I gotta watch it again. I'm gonna watch the first episode.

[16:53] Anjelica Vispisiano: I could have sworn I heard that.

[16:54] Tommy Bracco: No, I flew off.

[16:55] Anjelica Vispisiano: That was literally what happened. Wasn't it the thing you're holding on?

[16:58] Tommy Bracco: Yeah, I flew off, I'm telling you.

[17:01] Phil Bracco: Yes, yep.

[17:03] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh shit, he feels like he's right.

[17:05] Tommy Bracco: I pull it up right now.

[17:06] Phil Bracco: He actually might be right, honestly.

[17:08] Anjelica Vispisiano: I'm like saying no, but I'm like, oh, maybe he is right.

[17:12] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[17:12] Anjelica Vispisiano: I I could be wrong. I mean, I'm going by memory, I haven't watched a season in a while.

[17:16] Phil Bracco: Right. No, but I feel like winning first HOH used to be great, but in today's era of Big Brother, I don't think it is.

[17:25] Anjelica Vispisiano: So anyway, I thought that was an interesting shift. But um, but I think Will actually worked it out by by chance, because when Vince wins, Will gets saved.

[17:36] Phil Bracco: What season were you?

[17:37] Anjelica Vispisiano: Twenty-two?

[17:38] Phil Bracco: Twenty one.

[17:39] Anjelica Vispisiano: But here's the other risk, and that this is interesting. So hear me out.

[17:42] Phil Bracco: This is what I was thinking.

[17:45] Anjelica Vispisiano: I forgot Christy won the first HOE.

[17:48] Phil Bracco: Holy shit.

[17:49] Anjelica Vispisiano: But it was really like Jackson won the first HOH because he was camp director, so really everyone went to him and he got the power.

[17:56] Phil Bracco: Ah, there's a way around it.

[17:58] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay. It's like whoever comes into power first.

[18:01] Phil Bracco: Okay.

[18:01] Anjelica Vispisiano: Episode one or two was the I think one, but I don't really remember. I actually it would be the be end of one or beginning of two. Um Christy posted something, and I wrote back to her and said, not no joke, you are iconic on this. And like people do not understand how effective she was in the game.

[18:22] Phil Bracco: Now, having said that.

[18:24] Anjelica Vispisiano: Some of her effective iconic moves hurt you.

[18:27] Phil Bracco: Right.

[18:28] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah. Tac on Tuesday didn't help you.

[18:30] Phil Bracco: Correct, but it's her game.

[18:32] Anjelica Vispisiano: That's it. Right. She had to do what she had to do. But it's still I can recognize how iconic that was.

[18:38] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[18:38] Anjelica Vispisiano: I don't think that it hurt me though, honestly.

[18:40] Phil Bracco: Come on.

[18:40] Anjelica Vispisiano: Sis sis went home.

[18:43] Phil Bracco: But it was sis or Christy, so either way, my game was hurt.

[18:45] Anjelica Vispisiano: But it was one after another after that.

[18:47] Phil Bracco: Wait, so you it was anything had helped me actually because Christy was more of a target than like I think sis could have if she made it past that week, I think she could have gone all the way.

[18:57] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay.

[18:58] Phil Bracco: And I don't think that I think if I was on the block next to six sis, people would have taken a shot at me over Sis.

[19:03] Anjelica Vispisiano: Got it.

[19:04] Phil Bracco: Okay. So I don't know. There's always a different perspective. I wish we had an alternative universe.

[19:09] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know. See that.

[19:10] Phil Bracco: I know.

[19:11] Anjelica Vispisiano: Well is that the word?

[19:13] Phil Bracco: Alternate universe, yeah.

[19:14] Anjelica Vispisiano: Alternative.

[19:16] Phil Bracco: Alternate.

[19:16] Anjelica Vispisiano: You're like a Maya.

[19:17] Phil Bracco: A Maya papaya.

[19:19] Anjelica Vispisiano: She says crazy shit.

[19:20] Phil Bracco: No, she says, Oh my goodness, things that don't make sense. Gratitui, like instead of gratuity.

[19:25] Anjelica Vispisiano: No, she's the cutest thing ever.

[19:27] Phil Bracco: That's cute. She really is so cute. Um sor, what else?

[19:33] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um You like that they're making this uh uh for now on three people.

[19:38] Phil Bracco: Yeah, I do. I I do think, but I think it completely changes the game.

[19:42] Anjelica Vispisiano: It did, but it needed completely changes the game. You have to make enemies. The social game, like the social manipulation and like smooth talking kind of goes out the window. You're nominating three people point blank, period. That means those are three people that you could see that you don't care if they leave. And then you probably have to nominate a fourth. That's a big deal.

[20:04] Phil Bracco: So it it does completely change the game. Do you know what happened on uh veto?

[20:08] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[20:09] Phil Bracco: Okay. Do we want to do spoilers?

[20:12] Anjelica Vispisiano: Do you know what happens?

[20:13] Phil Bracco: No, I don't tell me.

[20:14] Anjelica Vispisiano: You want to know?

[20:15] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[20:15] Anjelica Vispisiano: So spoiler alert. Ashley ain't going home.

[20:17] Phil Bracco: I said that.

[20:18] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know, she won POV.

[20:20] Phil Bracco: Nice.

[20:21] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, I'm happy. And then Vince is deciding uh about putting up Kelly, and and they're like, his alliance to his alliance saying, I gotta put up Kelly, and they're like, why? You don't have to do that. And he goes, I think I'm a choice. I like because he has nobody else to choose from, though, and she's offering, so I would put her up too.

[20:39] Phil Bracco: Okay. Which one's Kelly?

[20:40] Anjelica Vispisiano: Why can't I think the one who you like, who's like the other quirky girl, not Ava.

[20:44] Phil Bracco: Oh, right, right, right.

[20:45] Anjelica Vispisiano: So she offered to go on the block. We saw in the episode, and now he might take her up on that.

[20:49] Phil Bracco: Okay, so who's gonna be on the block?

[20:51] Anjelica Vispisiano: Ashley's coming off, and then it'll be Kelly, Amy, and Zay.

[20:55] Phil Bracco: Oh.

[20:55] Anjelica Vispisiano: Well, if Zay went to AI Arena, Amy's going, probably.

[20:59] Phil Bracco: No, he's gonna go now.

[21:01] Anjelica Vispisiano: Kelly a lot of people saying Kelly can go home.

[21:03] Phil Bracco: Yeah. And this is gonna be like Vince isn't a problem, I think.

[21:08] Anjelica Vispisiano: Who did you guys in your pools? I know you, Jamie.

[21:10] Phil Bracco: Yeah, you didn't join.

[21:13] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know it was too late.

[21:15] Phil Bracco: Uh wasn't we had room.

[21:16] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay, so no, by the time I like Saw it and wasn't. Who did I pick? I picked Jimmy as my winner, Ashley, uh Rachel, Keanu.

[21:28] Phil Bracco: Who else?

[21:37] Anjelica Vispisiano: Wait, I'm confused. So this isn't the HOH competition?

[21:40] Phil Bracco: No, that's camp director.

[21:42] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh.

[21:42] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[21:43] Anjelica Vispisiano: So I don't remember director was worse. Who did you pick, Dad?

[21:45] Phil Bracco: I got Katherine, Morgan, Vince.

[21:47] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh, Morgan, I have two.

[21:48] Phil Bracco: Vince and I Vince is the other one I have. Mickey and Lauren.

[21:54] Anjelica Vispisiano: Nice.

[21:55] Phil Bracco: Was that five?

[21:56] Anjelica Vispisiano: Six.

[21:56] Phil Bracco: Oh.

[21:57] Anjelica Vispisiano: My first out is not going to be out as Adrian, because I thought you didn't say him.

[22:01] Phil Bracco: I I no, he was my first out.

[22:03] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh.

[22:03] Phil Bracco: So the funny part was when I was doing it, um, I I liked Adrian, and then I started watching that video, and I couldn't take it. By the time we got halfway through, yeah, now he's wild. I was like, oh no, he's gotta go.

[22:16] Anjelica Vispisiano: But he's not bad. See, that's what I mean. First impressions are not always right.

[22:20] Phil Bracco: Right.

[22:20] Anjelica Vispisiano: But that's the that's the editing, though. I don't know how how he is.

[22:24] Tommy Bracco: I want to hear your accent.

[22:26] Anjelica Vispisiano: Hold on.

[22:27] Tommy Bracco: Oh my god.

[22:31] Tommy Bracco: I have paint my eyes, paint my nose, paint my ears, paint my hair, dripping down my face, paint my pants, paint everywhere. No more arts and crash for Tommy Bracco.

[22:41] Phil Bracco: Oh my god.

[22:48] Anjelica Vispisiano: The newsy accent is crazy.

[22:51] Phil Bracco: It's crazy.

[22:52] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh my god. What made you go with that one?

[22:56] Tommy Bracco: I didn't like choose it. It just when you are like in the moment and your your adrenaline's pumping, like it just comes out.

[23:04] Phil Bracco: They just are like, give me more energy. More energy.

[23:07] Tommy Bracco: Right. It's so annoying because here is what happened. What went wrong for me in the DR. I was constantly getting told more energy. But I then I look back and I'm like, I'm the most energetic. They had to tell me to calm down, but they set me up for failure.

[23:23] Anjelica Vispisiano: Because they wanted you to be a certain type. More energy. I need a little more energy. I'm like, oh my god, okay. That is hilarious.

[23:31] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[23:31] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay, here. You have another DR, let's see.

[23:34] Phil Bracco: Yeah, you're not gonna be able to find it right away.

[23:36] Anjelica Vispisiano: No.

[23:36] Phil Bracco: I don't know if I can hang out.

[23:37] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, I think I got it. So one of us will win this thing.

[23:43] Phil Bracco: I am hanging on for dear life. My arms are burning. I don't know if I can hang on much longer, but I know I got you.

[23:51] Anjelica Vispisiano: I fought so hard to get here. I want to prove to these house guests that I am a force to be reckoned with. I am not gonna fall for anything.

[23:57] Phil Bracco: Oh, you can't be more wrong, Dad.

[24:02] Tommy Bracco: Alright, well, I was right.

[24:04] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay.

[24:04] Tommy Bracco: Okay. I'm gonna go back and look because I think there's another one that you were saying I don't want to win.

[24:09] Phil Bracco: Why can't you accept defeat?

[24:11] Anjelica Vispisiano: You were losing.

[24:11] Phil Bracco: I mean, I'll look for his next DR, and then that's it.

[24:14] Tommy Bracco: I could be wrong.

[24:15] Phil Bracco: No, you are wrong, and that was just proven.

[24:19] Anjelica Vispisiano: Right?

[24:19] Tommy Bracco: Okay.

[24:20] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yes.

[24:20] Tommy Bracco: Okay.

[24:23] Phil Bracco: Well, reality TV is back.

[24:25] Anjelica Vispisiano: Very exciting.

[24:26] Tommy Bracco: Yeah. I mean, uh things that, you know, will probably happen in our all. Can we talk about like life stuff?

[24:33] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like, oh, here it is.

[24:34] Phil Bracco: What?

[24:35] Anjelica Vispisiano: The next ER?

[24:41] Phil Bracco: Holly is off her log.

[24:44] Anjelica Vispisiano: Come on, Chris. Go on.

[24:46] Phil Bracco: I'm going nuts. It's down to me and Christine.

[24:49] Anjelica Vispisiano: Do I drop and let go to show her that I trust her? Do I hang on with all my might and take this first win?

[24:56] Phil Bracco: My head is spinning right now. And this log isn't helping at all.

[25:00] Anjelica Vispisiano: Chris, Chris, you're killing it. I just hope that Tommy knows that if he does fall off his log, he's good with me.

[25:05] Phil Bracco: Like he's safe. So you can totally fall, Tommy.

[25:08] Anjelica Vispisiano: I got us.

[25:12] Phil Bracco: And there you go.

[25:14] Anjelica Vispisiano: Tommy is down.

[25:15] Phil Bracco: I'm still gonna say he was right.

[25:17] Tommy Bracco: Yeah, I was right.

[25:18] Phil Bracco: Yeah, he was. That was that didn't show nothing.

[25:21] Tommy Bracco: Yeah, I really did. I flew off. She beat me fair and square. That's it.

[25:26] Phil Bracco: Wow. Alright, listen.

[25:28] Anjelica Vispisiano: Alright, what else is going on in life?

[25:30] Phil Bracco: Yeah, let's talk about life.

[25:31] Anjelica Vispisiano: You had a baby.

[25:32] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[25:32] Anjelica Vispisiano: How do you feel?

[25:33] Phil Bracco: Great. I feel great.

[25:34] Anjelica Vispisiano: You're killing it too. We're so back to normal. I mean, we went, we got how much sleep last night?

[25:39] Phil Bracco: Like, we slept from eleven to seven.

[25:44] Anjelica Vispisiano: My gosh, it's like so.

[25:47] Phil Bracco: That's just amazing.

[25:48] Anjelica Vispisiano: It's really cool to watch them become parents because you hear all the time like how difficult it is the transition, and they're just making it look easy.

[25:56] Phil Bracco: And uh I would expect nothing less with them, but it's amazing.

[26:00] Anjelica Vispisiano: I was thinking about that this morning, and I'm like, it's so funny because I'm such a dramatic person, but like in these things that people dramatize so much in life, it like makes me go the opposite way.

[26:14] Phil Bracco: I'm like, wait, this is actually so not a big deal.

[26:16] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah. Like, I don't know, I can't explain it.

[26:18] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[26:19] Anjelica Vispisiano: But it feels really easy, and we were talking about that this morning. So it's we're having a good time.

[26:26] Phil Bracco: Great.

[26:27] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[26:27] Phil Bracco: You are lucky.

[26:29] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yes. Babies do not sleep like that.

[26:33] Phil Bracco: Yeah. That is the way it is.

[26:35] Anjelica Vispisiano: He is amazing. I was so glad you you know got the time with him yesterday.

[26:40] Phil Bracco: It was great.

[26:41] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[26:42] Phil Bracco: And uh got to see, you know, sleep a lot.

[26:45] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[26:46] Phil Bracco: Yes, he sleeps a lot.

[26:47] Anjelica Vispisiano: He's growing.

[26:48] Phil Bracco: Yeah. He has like two like three hour stretches in the day where he's up.

[26:53] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like, so from s that when we wake him up at like 7 a.m., then he'll be up for like three hours, then he'll take a nap again, and then he'll be up um later at night for until he goes to bed bed.

[27:07] Phil Bracco: Yeah, until his ten o'clock bottle and then crazy.

[27:11] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, so he's up for like six hours a day.

[27:14] Phil Bracco: That's it.

[27:15] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[27:16] Phil Bracco: Oh my gosh.

[27:17] Anjelica Vispisiano: So wild.

[27:18] Phil Bracco: Yeah. Good boy.

[27:19] Anjelica Vispisiano: What's going on with you guys?

[27:21] Phil Bracco: Nothing. I'm finally done traveling. So happy.

[27:23] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[27:24] Phil Bracco: Married.

[27:25] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um got to do something really fun that will happen in September.

[27:32] Phil Bracco: Can't talk about it right now.

[27:33] Anjelica Vispisiano: We can't talk about it fully, but we got to have a really cool experience that has something to do with our reality TV podcast.

[27:41] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[27:41] Anjelica Vispisiano: And so that's fun.

[27:43] Phil Bracco: Mm-hmm.

[27:43] Anjelica Vispisiano: But um He's getting so nervous that you said that.

[27:46] Phil Bracco: That's fine.

[27:46] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like, so what do you think they're gonna do? You think they're gonna take take you guys out?

[27:51] Phil Bracco: Right.

[27:51] Anjelica Vispisiano: Shh.

[27:54] Phil Bracco: He gets so nervous that rule follows.

[27:56] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay.

[27:57] Phil Bracco: It's fine.

[27:58] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um it was I'll just say, like, of the experiences that I've had, I did not expect this one to be as impactful, and it really was.

[28:09] Phil Bracco: It was wild.

[28:11] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah. Wild, wild, wild.

[28:12] Phil Bracco: I think the high idea of Big Brother sounds way more intense than it.

[28:18] Anjelica Vispisiano: Not that it's not intense, but I think like you hear what Big Brother entails, and you're like, oh my goodness, how does a human do that?

[28:27] Phil Bracco: But then when you're in it, it probably feels like yeah, vacation.

[28:31] Anjelica Vispisiano: It was hanging out with like a w like two or three rough days dur during the week.

[28:35] Phil Bracco: Yes.

[28:36] Anjelica Vispisiano: But then other than that, you're just chilling.

[28:37] Phil Bracco: Yeah, I really didn't mind Big Brother. It wasn't that bad for me doing it.

[28:41] Anjelica Vispisiano: People struggled with it, but I didn't struggle with Big Brother as much.

[28:45] Phil Bracco: When I came off, I was like a little weird for a little bit.

[28:47] Anjelica Vispisiano: Right.

[28:48] Phil Bracco: But it wasn't it wasn't that bad.

[28:50] Anjelica Vispisiano: It really wasn't.

[28:52] Phil Bracco: Like for your mental state during.

[28:54] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[28:54] Phil Bracco: No, drawing, I felt great.

[28:56] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[28:56] Phil Bracco: This was not that way.

[28:58] Anjelica Vispisiano: I I was on the struggle bus for sure.

[29:01] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[29:01] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um, and we can't talk about me.

[29:05] Phil Bracco: Nah.

[29:05] Anjelica Vispisiano: Let's just move on.

[29:07] Phil Bracco: Okay.

[29:08] Anjelica Vispisiano: Well, let's just say, like, you have something to show up for.

[29:12] Phil Bracco: I can't wait till I could talk about it.

[29:14] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[29:14] Phil Bracco: That's all I could say.

[29:16] Anjelica Vispisiano: So that's very exciting.

[29:17] Phil Bracco: I have a lot to say, but I can't say it yet.

[29:20] Anjelica Vispisiano: So that was fun.

[29:21] Phil Bracco: That was great.

[29:21] Anjelica Vispisiano: That was a big thing.

[29:23] Phil Bracco: And what now?

[29:24] Anjelica Vispisiano: What about you? What's new, Dad?

[29:25] Phil Bracco: Um He's fighting with his wife.

[29:29] Anjelica Vispisiano: No, why stop?

[29:31] Phil Bracco: I didn't know about this.

[29:31] Anjelica Vispisiano: Why?

[29:32] Phil Bracco: Stop.

[29:32] Anjelica Vispisiano: Philip had them fighting this morning.

[29:35] Phil Bracco: Why were you guys fighting?

[29:36] Anjelica Vispisiano: Because he doesn't like that.

[29:37] Phil Bracco: He said that how would she feel if he was at a pool party in a speedo?

[29:40] Anjelica Vispisiano: I said, Do you really think she's wearing in Atlantic City what's equivalent to you and a speedo?

[29:46] Phil Bracco: It's so crazy that even when you get old, you fight over the same stupid things like you're a teenager.

[29:51] Anjelica Vispisiano: Joey would feel the same way.

[29:52] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[29:54] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like, I guess, even when you get older, you still fight over dumb teenage things.

[29:58] Phil Bracco: Like, that's a crazy She's gorgeous.

[30:00] Anjelica Vispisiano: Uh yes, I know she's going to a pool party in Atlantic City.

[30:05] Phil Bracco: Right.

[30:06] Anjelica Vispisiano: With a bathing suit on.

[30:07] Phil Bracco: When yesterday she was like, I'm gonna be gambling.

[30:09] Anjelica Vispisiano: And then she comes down with a bathing suit and a cover up.

[30:12] Phil Bracco: Great, but for her.

[30:13] Anjelica Vispisiano: How are you dressed? You're supposed to be gambling.

[30:15] Phil Bracco: No, it doesn't matter.

[30:16] Anjelica Vispisiano: You can't like you can't control what your partner wears.

[30:19] Phil Bracco: You just gotta trust your partner.

[30:21] Anjelica Vispisiano: Absolutely.

[30:21] Phil Bracco: You gotta trust your partner and know that you're even if your partner was put in a situation where it was uncomfortable, they would handle it the right way.

[30:29] Anjelica Vispisiano: Absolutely. Done.

[30:30] Phil Bracco: That's it.

[30:31] Anjelica Vispisiano: So there should be no conversation about it.

[30:34] Phil Bracco: Be like, wow, you look hot.

[30:35] Anjelica Vispisiano: That's it. Done. Moving on.

[30:36] Phil Bracco: Mm-hmm.

[30:38] Anjelica Vispisiano: I get it.

[30:39] Phil Bracco: Easier said than done.

[30:41] Anjelica Vispisiano: No, it's not. It's it's just do it.

[30:44] Phil Bracco: Anyway, uh, I think I'm trying to put together a white water rafting trip for this weekend.

[30:49] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know, we're gonna try and do that. That'll be fun.

[30:50] Phil Bracco: I'm excited about it.

[30:51] Anjelica Vispisiano: I can't believe you guys like that.

[30:52] Phil Bracco: Oh my god, I water literally love it.

[30:55] Anjelica Vispisiano: Me too.

[30:55] Phil Bracco: It's so fun.

[30:57] Anjelica Vispisiano: I like to do anything fun.

[30:58] Phil Bracco: Wait, but can we go back to relationships for a second?

[31:01] Anjelica Vispisiano: Because I I'm the like this is a huge standout to me.

[31:06] Phil Bracco: I feel like seeing Jell and John become parents, it's so nice to see um like new mom and new dad handle parent new parenthood the way that they have.

[31:16] Anjelica Vispisiano: It's like kind of my favorite thing about Roman already.

[31:20] Phil Bracco: Like how like I just love watching the two of you.

[31:23] Anjelica Vispisiano: It's so nice. You guys are doing so good and you're so good to each other.

[31:27] Phil Bracco: You could tell like and it's this is normal, but so many new parents are stressed and anxious and nervous, and you are not that, and neither is John, and I really think that that energy is making Roman his transition out of the womb better.

[31:47] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[31:48] Phil Bracco: I mean I agree with that, obviously.

[31:50] Anjelica Vispisiano: I feel like I feel like it makes sense that we have a good baby.

[31:57] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[31:58] Anjelica Vispisiano: Because we don't have the sh like I you know, I'm somebody that believes that, like, when you're stressed and when you're worried about something, you almost sort of manifest it.

[32:06] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[32:06] Anjelica Vispisiano: So I I agree with that, but you know, it's also easy for me to say because I have a good baby.

[32:12] Phil Bracco: So I don't know.

[32:14] Anjelica Vispisiano: It's like what comes first, the chicken or the egg.

[32:16] Phil Bracco: You have a good ho the husband.

[32:17] Anjelica Vispisiano: You have a good husband.

[32:17] Phil Bracco: Yes.

[32:18] Anjelica Vispisiano: We have a very good partnership.

[32:20] Phil Bracco: We're very much both front parents, you know.

[32:24] Anjelica Vispisiano: If anything, he's doing a little bit better than me.

[32:26] Phil Bracco: Like sometimes I feel a little bit guilty.

[32:28] Anjelica Vispisiano: No, don't feel guilty.

[32:30] Phil Bracco: In today's world where the father could be home some more paternity is amazing.

[32:34] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[32:35] Phil Bracco: Well, it's a game changer as far as I'm concerned.

[32:38] Anjelica Vispisiano: It is.

[32:38] Phil Bracco: You just went through so much physically.

[32:40] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know.

[32:41] Phil Bracco: You can do that yourself.

[32:42] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know, I am.

[32:44] Phil Bracco: It's just like, you know, new things.

[32:48] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like I never really experienced guilt, and it's like, wait a second.

[32:51] Phil Bracco: Love guilt is such a thing.

[32:52] Anjelica Vispisiano: Wow.

[32:53] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[32:53] Anjelica Vispisiano: That is weird to hear you say.

[32:55] Phil Bracco: Mm-hmm.

[32:56] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um You know what I loved, like yesterday, and it I really do like I'm like, oh, I have to like I almost I mean like inspired by you guys, like how you guys are.

[33:05] Phil Bracco: I've like strive to be more like that in my relationship.

[33:09] Anjelica Vispisiano: That yesterday the topic of a christening came up and uh the I think Aunt Kathy was like, What are you guys gonna do? Are you gonna do that?

[33:17] Phil Bracco: And you looked at him and you were like, I don't know, we haven't discussed it yet, we'll figure that out. Let's talk about it.

[33:22] Anjelica Vispisiano: And I love that. Like I would be like, I want to. Like, what do you think, Joey? Like, I would just like talk about it right then and there in front of everybody.

[33:30] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[33:31] Anjelica Vispisiano: But you guys are so good at like being a unit and then coming to the rest of the family with what your decisions are.

[33:38] Phil Bracco: That's the way that's the way to be.

[33:39] Anjelica Vispisiano: It is.

[33:39] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[33:40] Anjelica Vispisiano: I agree.

[33:40] Phil Bracco: I just like I respect I respect him so much and I feel and that respect is so reciprocated.

[33:46] Anjelica Vispisiano: So it makes me want to respect him more.

[33:48] Phil Bracco: Like you know what I mean?

[33:49] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like it's almost like a positive back and forth because I feel so like respected by him.

[33:56] Phil Bracco: Of course I want to respect him back.

[33:57] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah.

[33:58] Phil Bracco: Like even about other topics.

[33:59] Anjelica Vispisiano: Like even yesterday, everyone was like, Cream the baby, cream the baby, cream the baby.

[34:04] Phil Bracco: Sure, I would love to cream the baby.

[34:06] Anjelica Vispisiano: You know how I feel about the green situation.

[34:08] Phil Bracco: But he's not into it, and that's the thing.

[34:09] Anjelica Vispisiano: The pediatrician said, let him peel naturally.

[34:12] Phil Bracco: John was like, I feel strongly about wanting him to let him peel naturally.

[34:15] Anjelica Vispisiano: Right.

[34:16] Phil Bracco: Not gonna fight you on that.

[34:17] Anjelica Vispisiano: That's it.

[34:17] Phil Bracco: If you you know what I mean, like that's I could easily be like, Well, I feel strong about creaming him, so now what do we do?

[34:23] Anjelica Vispisiano: But it's you pick and choose your battles.

[34:26] Phil Bracco: It's not the one it's so not that deep.

[34:28] Anjelica Vispisiano: It's so and it's also if you even think about it, yeah.

[34:32] Phil Bracco: Roman's been floating in liquid for nine months for his whole entire existence.

[34:37] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, now he's an air.

[34:39] Phil Bracco: Of course his skin is gonna react to that.

[34:41] Anjelica Vispisiano: So he's peeling a little bit, you'll peel it off.

[34:43] Phil Bracco: It's like when you get tan, literally you get two burnt.

[34:46] Anjelica Vispisiano: You peel off, and what happens?

[34:48] Phil Bracco: You stop peeling.

[34:48] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, like that's it.

[34:49] Phil Bracco: That's how it goes.

[34:50] Anjelica Vispisiano: I didn't know that was an issue.

[34:51] Phil Bracco: Like, you know, in life, you know, for the babies.

[34:53] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, they peel.

[34:54] Phil Bracco: It's normal.

[34:55] Anjelica Vispisiano: That's what I'm saying.

[34:55] Phil Bracco: It's normal.

[34:55] Anjelica Vispisiano: I never the pediatrician was like, it's completely normal, let it full of naturally.

[35:00] Phil Bracco: Don't start lotioning him up yet. So that was it.

[35:04] Anjelica Vispisiano: Interesting.

[35:05] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[35:05] Anjelica Vispisiano: I didn't know that baby oil has other stuff in it. That's shocking to me.

[35:09] Phil Bracco: Yeah, I don't know. Somebody was saying yesterday too.

[35:11] Anjelica Vispisiano: Aqua four is bad.

[35:13] Phil Bracco: Oh.

[35:13] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh, your mom was saying baby oil is bad.

[35:15] Phil Bracco: Yes, she was saying it has fragrance. It has all these other stuff. I'm like, Yeah, I don't know.

[35:19] Anjelica Vispisiano: Wow, because we use the pink one on Johnson and Johnson, right?

[35:23] Phil Bracco: Baby magic.

[35:24] Anjelica Vispisiano: That has all kinds of fragrances. But that's another thing. Like, I'm trying not to be too crazy with that stuff. You can really drive yourself crazy with the ingredients of all of these things.

[35:34] Phil Bracco: I try to make, you know, decent decisions and like better decisions, but I don't also look into it too hard because again, yeah, you're gonna drive yourself crazy.

[35:44] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, it's true. Like we know somebody who's literally driving crazy, going crazy, driving herself crazy, and like even during pregnancy was she was driving herself crazy, and now she's in a situation where she has to deal with something. Like it's and that's what I mean about the energy. I do feel like energy transfers itself onto your situation, it manifests into your reality, and if you are an anxious person, that's what's gonna you know, rough situations I think are gonna come up.

[36:13] Phil Bracco: And that's why, like I always say, like in life, nothing can be too extreme in either direction because there's a healthy balance, and yeah, you can't just be completely carefree, but you can't be a helicopter, also there's a healthy balance to everything.

[36:29] Anjelica Vispisiano: A hundred percent. You guys found the balance.

[36:32] Phil Bracco: Yeah, and um so what else is going on is uh son Phil came home from the Navy.

[36:38] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yes, he brought his dog with him.

[36:40] Phil Bracco: Yeah, so now you have a dog and now we got a carpet to clean.

[36:43] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, we got a carpet to clean.

[36:45] Phil Bracco: But it's my fault because I left the door open.

[36:47] Anjelica Vispisiano: No, this is part of having a dog. He's gotta clean the carpet.

[36:49] Phil Bracco: Yeah, no, it's gotta be done with the thing. We don't have anything to clean it with.

[36:54] Anjelica Vispisiano: We have to get uh Stanley's themer here.

[36:56] Phil Bracco: Who?

[36:56] Anjelica Vispisiano: Who's we?

[36:58] Phil Bracco: We why?

[37:00] Anjelica Vispisiano: We gotta get to the That's my point. Um he's doing a lot of work right now next door.

[37:05] Phil Bracco: Yes, which is great, which is really good for him.

[37:07] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, I mean something's gotta go on with these houses because now what's going on with the one across the street.

[37:11] Phil Bracco: So now you sandwiched in between they're like these houses are what's happening with that?

[37:16] Anjelica Vispisiano: Not that one, this one.

[37:18] Phil Bracco: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, they're like you guys are on a rough block here.

[37:23] Anjelica Vispisiano: It's going downhill quick.

[37:24] Phil Bracco: Yeah.

[37:24] Anjelica Vispisiano: So thank goodness he's doing next door.

[37:27] Phil Bracco: I know, I know. Uh but you know And now with all the work that he Philip's done next door, you could see like how big the space is. Like it's it's totally doable.

[37:34] Anjelica Vispisiano: Doable one person.

[37:38] Phil Bracco: Yes.

[37:39] Anjelica Vispisiano: No, I'm not say yes, but I just mean like to live there. It's not that big, sure, but we don't need much more than that. Honestly, like especially being next door to this.

[37:51] Phil Bracco: Yeah. Humans don't need a lot. We don't we're conditioned to think that we need more than we do.

[37:57] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah. Okay.

[37:58] Phil Bracco: Yep. I do think that.

[38:00] Anjelica Vispisiano: I agree with that. Um, I think it's gonna be great. I'm really excited. I'm loving his videos.

[38:05] Phil Bracco: Yeah, me too.

[38:13] Phil Bracco: He so he's Philip documenting him doing the house.

[38:17] Anjelica Vispisiano: With no experience.

[38:19] Phil Bracco: Yeah, his name on TikTok is straight up just Phil Bracco.

[38:23] Anjelica Vispisiano: One word. Yeah, go check out his videos.

[38:25] Phil Bracco: Yeah. Uh I made a couple of entrances in there.

[38:28] Anjelica Vispisiano: Oh, nice.

[38:29] Phil Bracco: Yeah, you were helping out. You love making entrances in all videos.

[38:32] Anjelica Vispisiano: I heard so yesterday they trapped all the ants in there, and then Uncle Phil went in and started banging things with hammers to like make dust go all fly around, and everyone came in coughing, their throat hurt. They felt sick.

[38:44] Phil Bracco: So what'd you do?

[38:47] Anjelica Vispisiano: I hit the thing with a hammer once. Nothing popped up in the air.

[38:52] Phil Bracco: It definitely did.

[38:53] Anjelica Vispisiano: Why'd you hit anything with the hammer while people were in there?

[38:56] Phil Bracco: He's showing off. He's like, look what I'm doing. I'm gonna do a hammer on the wall while they're in there.

[39:01] Anjelica Vispisiano: Is that was that the context of it?

[39:03] Phil Bracco: Basically, I wasn't thinking about anything like that.

[39:06] Anjelica Vispisiano: He didn't think it was gonna fly.

[39:08] Phil Bracco: He didn't think about the dust. He was just like, check it out. I'm gonna sledgehammer the wall in front of my sisters.

[39:15] Anjelica Vispisiano: It's so stupid.

[39:17] Phil Bracco: Yeah, you know, I'm a he-man sometimes.

[39:18] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah, I'm gonna do it. I can't wait until Philip gets in that back room. I mean, guys, there's literally vines growing in it.

[39:36] Phil Bracco: That's exactly how to do it.

[39:37] Anjelica Vispisiano: I don't know about that. I don't know. I didn't hear that plan, but I don't know about that plan.

[39:41] Phil Bracco: I also take the wall down. You gotta you gotta hold the the roof up. You can't take the wall down, right?

[39:47] Anjelica Vispisiano: Hold the roof up. Right.

[39:48] Phil Bracco: You well, Philip said he learned which beams are supporting the house and which ones are not that important.

[39:55] Anjelica Vispisiano: Mm-hmm. This is scary.

[39:57] Phil Bracco: I know. I'm a little nervous, but anyway, reality TV is reality TV.

[40:02] Anjelica Vispisiano: Um what does that mean?

[40:03] Phil Bracco: You know. Are you guys watching the snake by any chance?

[40:06] Anjelica Vispisiano: I know. I watched three episodes.

[40:09] Phil Bracco: Yeah, I'm very interested in Fox reality shows right now. Um, and I'm just intrigued like to see how they do the editing and stuff.

[40:19] Anjelica Vispisiano: And I gotta say, I am not a fan of the editing on the snake.

[40:23] Phil Bracco: Okay.

[40:23] Anjelica Vispisiano: So I'm very, you know, interested to see how all of the Why would you feel like the editing on the snake is?

[40:30] Phil Bracco: It's like spoon feeding. Like it becomes a background show when it doesn't have to be. It's actually a really good show and the concept is great and the players are great, but it's so spoon fed to the audience that I'm like, I don't need to pay attention to this to know what's going on.

[40:46] Anjelica Vispisiano: Okay. That makes sense. It's annoying.

[40:48] Phil Bracco: Interesting.

[40:49] Anjelica Vispisiano: Yeah. They'll get their groove.

[40:52] Phil Bracco: I hope so. We'll see. But Fox is investing a lot of money in their reality shows.
