It’s part two with Ryan Bailey to delve deeper into the complex world of reality television and the personal struggles that shape the lives of its stars. We kick off discussing with the connection between Scheana Shay’s grandparents and Patrik’s parents setting the stage for the deep bond we share with her and the Vanderpump Rules cast. We quickly move on to Haute Topics and first up in the Vanderpump universe: the infamous wedding preparations at Pol’s boutique, where Raquel / Rachel played a significant role and dthe dramatic build-up to the wedding, which many believed was the grand finale of the show, only to be blindsided by the later scandals. The conversation takes a turn into a behind-the-scenes analysis as we dive deep into the “Scandoval” drama, the ratings and how everything unfolded on the show. Ryan recounts a being at Coachella with the entire cast and how Tom and Ariana seemed utterly in love, a stark contrast to the affair that was happening behind the scenes. In a reflective turn, Pol laments the destruction of real friendships for the sake of reality TV ratings, questioning whether fleeting airtime is worth the long-term damage done to personal relationships. This segues into a heartfelt discussion about how the cast has been forced to stay intertwined in each other’s lives because of the show, even when it would have been healthier for them to grow apart. Shifting from reality TV drama to a more personal note, the group transitions into a deeply emotional discussion about loss, starting with Ryan’s journey through grief after the death of his mother and Patrik opens up about the complex feelings of grief when his own mother passed away, torn between gratitude that she was no longer suffering and the pain of missing her every day. Ryan echoes this sentiment, describing how challenging it was to witness his father cope with the loss of his mother and how he now helps his father with everyday tasks, like learning how to use the TV in her absence. We switch  to lighter subjects, such as Ozempic and weight management, a topical subject given Ryan’s own reflections on how his grief led to emotional eating and a change in his physical health. Ryan admits that he’s pushed a lot of personal care aside as he dealt with his mother’s illness and subsequent passing, but he’s now ready to refocus on his health and well-being. As the episode nears its conclusion, Pol’ continues Ryan’s coffee reading which reveals exciting opportunities on the horizon and new career prospects, warning him not to let self-doubt get in the way. As we say our goodbyes, it’s clear that this episode wasn’t just another podcast for any of us—it was a space for real emotion, support, and understanding, a rare combination in the world of reality TV.
