Chapter 1: What happened at the Met Gala?
What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of The Vile Files. I am your host, Nick, and it's good to be back with you. The Met Gala was last night. Well, it's tonight for us when we're recording, but it's last night for y'all. So we don't even know what happens. I do someday want to go. I do.
Yes, of course.
I think we're closer than we were last year.
we're yeah inching our way for sure for sure do you not want to go i would love to go i feel like maybe like 20 20 52 will be our year 2052 oh my god how old will you be then dead 2052 i'll be dead how many years is that that's uh 20 years it's 20 27 years Oh my God, I'll be like in my prime 40s. You won't be dead. You'll be close, but not yet.
I feel like science is going in the right direction. I was asked about my age over the weekend and there was shock and amazement. There was.
Was there performance as well? Or do you feel like it was genuine?
No, it felt very genuine. Someone fell off their chair.
How old did they think you were?
One person said 28. I thought that was a little crazy, but I'll take early thirties.

Chapter 2: What insights did Angela Oakley share about RHOA?
How was your first time flying solo with River?
That was my first time flying solo.
That's right. Yeah, but like she was, she was just a little bean back then.
She was younger. Honestly, the flight there, she knocked, she was asleep. We flew Southwest and I made friends with the gay agent. And so she was like, come on, baby, it's your turn. Come on. And I was definitely like B57. Like it was definitely not my turn, but she let me and River get on with the A's. And then- There was a flight attendant standing in the front row and it was not a full flight.
So they really wanted everyone to spread out. Like they were like, not you can't all get in the front of the plane. Like everyone's got to spread out. And so I was like, could we sit here? And she was like, I'm only allowing two people to sit here. So if you have a family of three, it's not going to work. And I was like, no, it's just me and the baby. And she was like, come on in.
And so we got the whole like front row to ourselves and River knocked out before we even took off.
Front row.
Front row.
You had B, 50, whatever the fuck. And you ended up in the front row.

Chapter 3: How did Tucker Wetmore slide into DMs?
Chapter 4: What are the dynamics of Summer House?
It's electric, yes. But there are a lot of buttons that would have made my life easier had I had known about them.
She definitely figured it out on her own. There was no tutorial.
And what honestly made it a little worse for me is as I'm killing myself on the front lawn, landscapers drive by and they do the lawn next to me.
with a writing mower and i have never felt more watched and judged in my entire life i will be honest with you they're probably just checking you out i think they were probably looking at all the missing patches or in all this you know i'm just well they didn't they didn't come over and offer you a card or anything they didn't what a what an opportunity to get new business
No, they were like, she's got it handled. Anyway, so I was really sore from doing all that. So then now I'm going to the airport. I've got River's car seat. I've got our suitcase with both of our stuff in it. And I have like the diaper bag and I have River. I can't put her down to walk because she'll end up like...
not going the yeah we're going the wrong direction right she's not heading the right way so i'm holding her the whole time and when i landed in savannah my sister picked me up and we got in the car and as we drove off there was a bomb threat in the savannah airport and everyone had to evacuate like people couldn't take their things like stuff was being left on flights like they were like this is gonna take pretty much a whole day to get everything back on schedule
Like, they were so behind. People, like, they had to find their luggage after they all came back in. Just nightmare. So... Terrifying. Praying for the best, everybody.
Well, thankfully, you got back in time. Because, like, you came back the next day.
I did. But she had so much fun at the farm. And she was just running around and seeing all the animals and was just, like... It was so cute and she loved it so much. And it's like so fun to start seeing now she's at an age and Leah, you'll get there soon of like where you start to see them like experience things through their eyes. And you're like, oh, no, that's so cool.

Chapter 5: How do relationships evolve after fame?
So that should be a very interesting episode. I really appreciate how she's been handling herself this season. It's been fun to watch. I've been pretty impressed with Lexi. I think she surprised lots of us with just how she kind of showed up this season. So it would be great to get to know her.
I was really surprised with the Valley reunion seating chart because what is that?
Because like Michelle and Jesse are like my two favorite in terms of following on the show. Jesse is getting a front seat, but Michelle, she's at the end. Do you think it's maybe because they're just so toxic and hate each other so much that they just have to be the furthest distance apart from each other?
I mean, even if that is the case, I would have preferred to have Michelle sitting second seat and Jesse like so far toward the end that he's not even on camera.
I know, obviously, in terms of like, we assume the people closest to Andy are probably going to get like the most airtime. But are there other aspects of the seating chart in terms of how they determine it? What's this fan speculation?
I mean, I did see someone comment on the seating chart saying like, funny that Michelle is like the prime storylines, but she's the last seat. And then Sheena commented on that comment saying like,
don't worry I've been there too or whatever I don't know something so I think it's just like whoever they think is going to be the most relevant come the reunion time goes first in second seat and then from there you separate them based off like who's friends with who who can't talk to who it's also like a color coordinated thing as well they're sent colors to like match their placements where they are so maybe she just wore the wrong outfit you know
I think it's just that there's more diabolical shit coming from Jesse this season that there's a lot more to talk to Jesse about than there is Michelle.
I guess. But I feel like anything diabolical he'd have to do would have to do with Michelle. So it's like, why not have Brittany, Jax, Michelle, Jesse, then Kristen, Luke, Nina, Danny, Jasmine and Zach? Because I get they want to keep the couples together. So why not put the couples kind of closer to the end and the two toxic couples?

Chapter 6: What unique experiences did Nick and Natalie have while parenting?
Chapter 7: How does Angela feel about her first season on RHOA?
No, I refuse. He hesitated.
You never walked into a room and said, I'm Nick and I demand this. I don't know if I ever really like say my name. I've never referred to myself in third person. Yeah, I don't think I ever either.
But what if someone do that? But like, I think we're all in agreement. It's a very embarrassing thing for someone to do. And yet there's plenty of people who do it. Like it's not that uncommon.
Lala used to do that all the time.
Technically, Nick does it every day. Think about it. Every episode. How do we open the show? What's going on? Welcome back to the Vile Files.
That's so different.
Introducing yourself. Thank you very much.
No, but Lala used to do that all the time on Vanderpump Rules. She'd be like, you want Lala to pop off?
Yeah. True.

Chapter 8: What are the challenges of balancing personal life with reality TV?
So it's like, yeah. Where was she when you needed her?
Yeah. She, she was, she, she was not around.
Yeah.
But I don't think her not being around affected much of the outcome because has she been around? I would have been the same. you know, you would have gotten what you got.
Have you seen Kelly's dog? I have. What are your thoughts on her spending a thousand dollars a month on coloring his dog?
I mean, that's her baby and she treats her dog like her baby. Like, baby and so you know she spoiled her dog and I think that makes her feel good I mean if you know like you can't spoil a dog right like too much like you know with River we're always like okay well you know
We, you know, it's exciting to be able to give your kid things and have them see that, you know, excitement on their face. But at some point you have to like pull it back out of fear that they might turn into something. But like with a dog, you know, you just, they're not, you get to feel good all day long. Yeah.
Her dog's glam is better than mine. Do you see her dog with lashes? It's crazy. Her dog is beat. So I think her dog may be used to a little, you know. Dogs know. Dogs know when they're supposed to be glamorous. I think Kelly's dog knows.
Well, Angela, It's not just your first season. It's going to be your first reunion as well. And just like you said, there's filming the season and watching it, but the reunion is a whole other beast. Going into it, who in your cast do you want to address the most or get to the bottom of anything? And is there also someone in your cast that you're worried that might be coming for you?
