Episode Transcript
I'm Heather Dubrew and I'm Terry Dureu, and we're going to keep this between us.
Speaker 2But not really, not really, not at all.
Speaker 1Our podcast room was supposed to be done and it's not.
Speaker 2Well, let me ask you a question.
Is the podcast room being done like the living room is being was being done?
Took a year because that took one full year.
The living room I thought was going to take Now it was gonna be like you know, he has a book with furniture.
You order furniture, they always tell you it'll be there in six weeks, which means six months.
Speaker 1This is the problem with furniture.
They don't keep anything in the store anymore.
And then if you want to order fabric, like I wanted to do new curtains, et cetera, so I had to order the fabric, and then the fabric is back ordered, and then you have to wait for the fabric and then that comes it.
Speaker 2Anyway, it's it missed two Christmases.
Speaker 1The end story is it is now.
Speaker 2Complete, except now you might as well put plastic on the furniture because you're not allowed to.
Speaker 1But you're allowed to say on the furniture.
Now, yeah, it's game on you just can't put your shoes.
Speaker 2So I just got home from work and I was asperating fluid from people's orifices.
Speaker 1And then don't sit on my couch.
Speaker 2Reading wounds and things like that.
Speaker 1Why don't you shower before you sit on the couch.
Speaker 2But I'm you know, I'm wearing scrub felt.
Speaker 1Well, there's another couch.
Try to sit on the other room when you're covered with I washed.
Speaker 2I washed my hands like thirty times today.
Wore gloves all day long.
Pretty clean really, by the way.
You know, I come home from surgery and I have four cases tomorrow.
I come home from surgery and I'm like inside of people's bodies for twelve hours.
I come home, sit right down on the couch after that.
Speaker 1Yeah, because you have layers on top of that.
It's not like you're operating with no gloves.
And I mean you have a gown.
Speaker 2Or I first go into the room, I put on gloves and inject them before I even put on it, you know.
Speaker 1So, so what are you making a case to not sit on the couch.
Speaker 2No, I'm just saying, you know.
Speaker 1AnyWho, Okay, So one of the pros on Dancing with the Stars, Whitney Carson.
So she and her husband were recently taking their two sons, they're five and two years old.
They were going to Australia to visit Robert Erwin, who who was her partner, was recently on Dancing with the.
Speaker 2Star's Robodel Hunter's kid and.
Speaker 1I watched her videos and they are on a thirteen hour flight, right, they're five and two years old, And they were shushed, and then the flight attendant came over and she said they weren't screaming, they weren't caring on they were just kind of giggling and talking.
And she said it was a daytime flight.
But again with a thirteen hour flight, I understand some people are going to sleep and whatnot.
But apparently there was a gentleman a few aisles ahead that was trying to rest, and so she asked the flight attendant, I completely understand that, is there specific times that you feel are rest times for passengers in the thirteen hours that I will do my best to keep everyone quiet, But you can't expect children to be quiet for thirteen hours.
How long does the typical person sleep if.
Speaker 2You get to in a night, no, I know, but if you get to the airport at six am to go on a thirteen hour flight.
Still don't sleep at all, but.
Speaker 1You're still not sleeping for thirteen hours.
People don't sleep typically for thirteen hours.
Let's say you were using this as a red eye, right, okay, the most.
I mean, I've never heard of anyone sleeping for eight hours on a flight, but okay, eight hours.
Then would you submit that the first couple of hours, in the last couple of hours, one would be allowed to speak?
Speaker 2Yes?
Right?
Speaker 1So I think Whitney's point was they wanted them to be quiet for the entire.
Speaker 2Thirteen hours, keep them quiet the whole time.
Speaker 1Just anytime they were just giggling or talking or anything.
Speaker 2They got the yes.
What do you think?
Well, now that my kids are older, I feel exactly the same.
Speaker 1It can't stay situational.
Speaker 2I mean, it's very easy to relate to that if you have similar age kids and they're going to make noise, because your kids are going to make noise.
But I mean, I mean, I get so much less tolerant to other people's children as I get older.
You know, in fact, I'm less tolerant of art children as I get older.
Speaker 1There's been stories of parents giving their children benadryl in an attempt to mellow them out.
And you know there is a certain percentage of kids it has the adverse effect off.
Yeah, and you give them ben and drill and they're hyper and go crazy and they're bouncing off the walls.
Speaker 2That's such a difficult situation, thirteen hours on a plane, not in first class with little kids next to you.
Oh, that's so painful at a two year old, two and five year old.
I rather forget.
It's impossible to shush a two year old.
Speaker 1Of course it is.
Speaker 2Now.
Speaker 1This is my feeling about that five year old as the mother of four children, and I have when they were young, I traveled with them by myself.
Oh a couple of times.
I took them to Mexico by myself, right, And I took them to Hawaii by myself.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1I think I've taken them other places too, But when they were little, I definitely did that.
And you know, the thing is, if a child is or a toddler, or even just a kid is screaming or kicking the seats or running up and down the aisles, if the parents are just you know, having cocktails and letting them just be wild, that's crazy.
Speaker 2It's tough.
I don't know.
I think you should try your best.
I'm just gonna see shoud try your best.
Put your kids in first class.
Speaker 1That's ridiculous.
That's ridiculous, very not relatable today.
Speaker 2I'm not I've just been seeing plastic surgery patients who have been registering complaints about one millimeter differences between their brow heights.
So running out of any kind of patience.
This morning, this evening, I was.
Speaker 1On a podcast today with se Cup and Essie is a fantastic, very smart journalist.
I was on her show years ago in CNN and she's also interestingly she's friends with Andy Cohen, so she dips into the Bravo world from now and again.
And I had seen her at Bravo Con and she invited me on her show.
So we were talking today and she was asking me, this is what made me think of it, because you were talking about a millimeter of annoyance.
She was asking me what our retirement plans are?
If we have retirement plans, and what are they?
Speaker 2Does that mean from a financial point of view or just from a social point of.
Speaker 1View, Oh, it was a lifestyle point of view.
It was no what is your plan.
Are you clicking down?
Are you what are you doing?
Speaker 2How?
Speaker 1I told her that we well, oh, she started off by quoting, this was funny.
She quoted my yearbook, my high school yearbook, where my senior quote was, when you lose your dreams, you die.
Oh do you know what that's from?
No Flash Dance.
Speaker 2Oh you're kidding.
Speaker 1Yeah, huh, there's a scene.
I don't remember who said it, but anyway, yeah, it's true.
Okay, right, So we were talking about that, we're talking about dreams and how our dreams have changed.
Speaker 2Whatever.
Speaker 1It's a really good interview, by the way, you should listen to it when it comes out.
But I was saying, you know, it's funny because your dreams change as you get older and as you achieved different levels of success or try things that you didn't know you'd like, or you know, you start going in a different direction, and it's interesting, fascinating whatever.
So I basically said, I don't see us ever retiring.
I see us as we're doing now, sort of pivoting.
Speaker 2It's weird.
I recently, well recently being the last few years, patients will say to me because they really want me to do their surgery, because they have really difficult to repair something.
Rather, they'll go, but when are you going to retire?
That's when you know you just starting to look really old and you should consider plastic surgery.
When somebody's asking you, when are you going to retire?
But I think you know, I say, I say I won't.
I will.
I'm doing now what I plan to do till I'm done on this planet, and that is I do multiple things.
I used to just be a plastic surgery and it was seven days a week and up at four or five am and operate even on Sundays.
Now I do like five or six different things, all of which I enjoy, and I do more on my terms.
And it's funny, you know, all my dreams came true.
So if any one or two, or three or four of the things that I really enjoyed doing all went away, I would be perfectly happy with it.
Not happy, I'd be okay with it.
But my biggest dream, actually I realized, came true, and I realized it six months ago.
One of the dreams I always had.
When I'm not working, I don't want to feel like I'm missing, like I'm doing something wrong, like I'm not contributing and I've stopped.
I stopped feeling that way.
Speaker 1I love that.
Speaker 2That's so good.
So, for example, when I would have a Thursday of two giant surgery cases and then we'd find out at eleven o'clock at night, I'd get a call from the antiseesiologist.
Oh, your first case took an aspirin.
That's cancel because she took an aspen blood thinner.
And your second case.
You know, I was looking at the EKG and there's some st segment changes indicating that maybe she has some cardiac disease that we have to get further work up.
We can put her to sleep, so the whole case goes away.
So I'd have a Thursday entirely off, and you'd feel weird, and I hated it and felt terrible all day.
And now now you give me a Thursday off.
Oh my, I am going to have the greatest day of my life.
I love it.
I still, of course, will have lots of you know, legal stuff to do, or yeah, maybe I'll go do some TikTok.
Things are all just scroll mindlessly like a fifth grader for five hours, which, by the way, I'm convinced older men like me scroll more than even teenagers.
Speaker 1No, it's just you.
Speaker 2Oh, maybe it is me.
I can look I can look at cat videos.
Speaker 1I know he's obsessed with that cat pot.
Speaker 2My favorite thing right now is a Whiskers podcast, which is AI cats talking to each other and showing me this dude cats.
One's an orange cat, one's a black cat, and they look at videos.
They say, oh, let's watch this clip of some cat doing some outrageous thing, and then they bring the cat in and interview him about the video.
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1You showed it to me.
Speaker 2I showed you ever, and I need to tell that I'm the only one who appreciates it.
Literally, no one else seems to enjoy it but me.
What is wrong with everyone?
Speaker 1I don't know, but I'll tell you what I enjoy for you.
So it used to be back in the day.
Now obviously Terry is a plastic surgeon, and so before you had other avenues that you did, like medical, legal and you know, our skincare line and all the other things.
What it was when you just had the one job, not twelve that you have now, When you just had the one job.
We'd go on vacation and Terry was always miserable.
And I get it because if you have a salary, you have a salary job, you get some paid time off perhaps or you know that kind of thing.
But when you are a doctor, or you know, if you're not working, if you have your own business, your self employed, when you go on a vacation, not only are you not making money, you're spending money.
So it's like a double whammy.
Speaker 2Not only that your office overhead is still there, very very high for a plastic surgeon, still there, so spending money, not making it, but your office is still churning along.
It's a big boy through your care.
Speaker 1So you never relaxed on dress.
Now you love it.
Speaker 2Now if you say to me, you know, I booked you out for three weeks, I'd go really awesome.
I wouldn't even question why.
I would just say, I know.
Speaker 1We were just in New York and man, it was cold.
Speaker 2And oh my gosh, it was like colder in New York than it was in the Antarctic.
Speaker 1Isn't that crazy?
I kind of liked it.
Speaker 2I couldn't stand it was like way way to it was crisp.
And then we went to Palm Beach where it was not cold, where it was not cold, it was slightly humid, and I decided that Palm Beach, although beautiful, LA is the best weather in the world.
I wouldn't see it just is the best.
No humidity, very little rain.
It's just I mean, there's a reason why we pay all these taxes.
Speaker 1I think I agreed, there's no place like home.
Speaker 2No, So that was fun.
Yeah.
Speaker 1Are you saying everything that's going on with the Beckhams.
Speaker 2I mean, are we willing to admit that they lived in the building where we lived in?
Speaker 1Well, they don't live here anymore.
Speaker 2They don't know I still no.
Never the kids just saw them coming out of here the other day.
Speaker 1That was like eight months ago, so it.
Speaker 2Was like it was her, the billionaire's daughter, Nicola Nicol Brooklyn.
Yeah, Brooklyn, they lived here for sure, because I saw them all the.
Speaker 1Day that they don't Okay they moved out.
Speaker 2Did you ever acknowledge them when they would walk pume because I don't know them.
Speaker 1Well, I only saw them that one time.
Speaker 2Yeah, but you become a friendly with those major rap stars that work out in our gym downstaira.
Speaker 1Okay, But you know what the story is.
I mean, there was some you know, rumors swirling about some rift between Victoria and Nicola at the wedding when the wedding happened, and then it kind of died down.
And then I thought they were very supportive of each other because Nicola was at Victoria's fashion show and Victoria was Nicola's you know, movie premiere and all that kind of thing.
But I don't know why it just went off the rails, but it went off the rails.
And basically, Brooklyn made all these big statements saying his family wants to look perfect and he's been controlled for years, and she tried to take away the first dance and blah blah blah.
But there's kind of art.
I mean, it's becoming like Baldoni Jake Blake Lively kind of situation.
And then other people are coming out and saying, oh, she used to date so and so, and she's the problem.
She did this to someone else.
They're saying she did it with Anwarhadid, who's Yolanda's gun and Mohammed's son, you know.
And then Andy Cohen came out and said, I stand with Posh.
Speaker 2Okay, so what bumps you the most about this?
I can tell you what bothers me the most time.
Speaker 1I'd like to hear what bothers you?
Speaker 2First of all, why are you litigating your family's issues in the media.
Why are you making any comment at all?
Why are we hearing about this.
You're not on a reality show, You're not on housewives, and it's a storyliner.
You can't avoid it.
Why the heck?
By the way, they're so private anyway, how often you hear about posh and.
Speaker 1Well, this is the question, So, so we should.
Speaker 2Know a thing about them.
Do we know anything about Tom Hanks and Rieta Wilson?
No, do we know anything about We don't know anything.
Why do we know anything?
So?
Speaker 1I think the thing is the Beckhams, if I understand the story, and from what I've seen, the Beckhams really haven't commented on it, and he's not in the photos, and they're just really not commenting on it.
All right, So we know that there were rumors swirlings since the wedding, which was only a couple of years ago.
But I thought they were at each other's things, and then all of a sudden, Brooklyn wasn't at the things, and Nicola wasn't at the things, and then Brooklyn and Nicola got remarried, yes, like a year after they got married, ceremony and all that, huh and with her family only.
Speaker 2Oh, and that was that what started it.
Speaker 1And I think it's just all part of it.
Speaker 2One of them went on Instagram, no social media sitement on the other correct.
Speaker 1Yes, but I'm telling you this is how it was devolving.
Was that they had this you know, second wedding a year or so later, and then there were rumors that you know, they weren't speaking, and you weren't anyway, You're right, the Beckhams are very private.
So Brooklyn then put up this whole like three slide statement saying that Victoria was supposed to make Nichola's dress and canceled in the eleventh hour.
He said that, you know, she took over his first dance that was supposed to be with Nicola, and Nicola went crying from the room.
He said that they've been trying to control him and that they want everything to look perfect.
But then there's the other side of the coin where Nicola did her dress with Valentino and she documented it, I think with Vogue magazine for over a year, the making of her wedding dress.
So how is that not making a dress in the eleventh hour when she documented for over a year the making of her wedding dress.
Then apparently at the ceremony, Mark Anthony was singing and stopped and they were gonna have this song and it was supposed to be for Brooklyn and Nicola, but Mark Anthony said something like a toast to the most beautiful woman in the room and called up Victoria.
Speaker 2How do we know this stuff?
Speaker 1This has been widely accepted as what happened at the wedding, But what this question is?
I mean, but you're assuming that Brooklyn planned that.
Maybe that was just Mark Anthony being a dumbass and saying she's beautiful, not thinking about the bride.
Speaker 2I still think we're getting lost in the weeds here.
The index insult was one of them went on a social media site and put a frame around it and said, here is the thing we're all upset about and fighting about.
That feels they made it for public folly.
Speaker 1He felt it was already being Brooklyn's position is it was already being talked about and commented on without commenting on it, that he wanted to clear it up.
I guess Brooklyn decided to make a big statement.
Speaker 2Okay, well that's the mistake.
Yeah, and I'm sure they went nuclear the parents about the fact that he's now openly discussing it.
Speaker 1All we've seen is it looks like Victoria's like putting flashbacks and then Nicola got a tattoo that in Hebrews says family first.
Speaker 2Okay, I'm not sure I have a.
Speaker 1Problem meaning like her family comes first.
Yeah, is the way it was taken.
Speaker 2I don't know.
If you're talking, if you're fighting with your family out in the open, in the public, you've got issues, right, no one wants to hear it.
Well maybe if people do want to hear that's the problem.
People do want to hear about their family issues, right, But that's on them, you know, and they really need to get wrapped their brains around what they're doing.
We'll stop that.
Speaker 1Beckhams haven't said anything publicly.
They've just sort of kept it vague and they're saying parenting is complicated.
They love their son.
But I promise you Brooklyn would sit here and say, oh, that's what they're doing, that's it.
Speaker 2Maybe Brooklyn spends so much time on social media as I do.
Maybe that's the problem too.
Speaker 1Much time.
Speaker 2Sez trackling is doom scrolling And I don't know anything about them or their relationship, but that's the kind of high profile relationship that no one will be surprised if they win for a few years of marriage, particularly if you're renewing your vowels or you're remarrying yourself.
Why are you doing this?
Speaker 1Well, the point was it was an f you to the Beckhams.
It was you ruined our wedding, so we're going to do it again without you.
Speaker 2That's what that was.
Yes, Wow, too much free time?
What do you think that second wedding cost?
Definitely over a million?
Right?
Speaker 1The dad's a billionaire.
I don't think he cares.
Speaker 2I'm just saying.
Speaker 1And then there's a bunch of texts messages that got leaked between Nikola and her mother and the apparently they had to keep hiring wedding planners because they kept quitting.
Speaker 2And the next messages that got leaked how to get text messages?
I don't know, what do you think?
Linked like they don't get enough tension as it is.
They just you know, there are certain things that need to be kept private.
Well, I agree, and family issues keep them to yourself.
Speaker 1I'll let you're on a reality show and then have.
Speaker 2That Well, that's the thing.
You're treating your privacy for a platform and for the you know.
Speaker 1In happier news.
I think it's very exciting to say that Katerina just got into the sorority she wanted to.
She just sent us a picture.
Speaker 2You see she's in.
Speaker 1She's so cute.
Speaker 2Yep, are we not naming the sorority.
Speaker 1You're not naming the sorority, but we're very excited for her.
Speaker 2So cute, exactly the one she wanted.
Speaker 1I know she loves the girls.
It was so cute.
They sent little messages to her or they gave her the bid, and they were so specific and sweet and kind.
I have to say, this is another thing I was talking about on this podcast today with Si.
We were talking about how women are so much better now.
I mean, not everyone, but I would say when I look at Kat and Max and their girlfriends, they're so supportive of each other and loving.
Speaker 2What does that tell you that the Real Housewives franchise probably does not have a long future ahead of it.
Women being terrible to each other.
Speaker 1Everyone loves to watch a shit show.
Speaker 2We were at Palm Beach with our friends, you talk about the Bethany and the two.
Richard Marx asked two very interesting questions, what do you think is your best characteristic and what is your worst characteristic?
Speaker 1We do that.
I went, oh, we're playing a housewives game at dinner tonight.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was really good.
And when it came to me my best characteristic, you completely disagreed with me.
And then, shocking to me, later, you said that no one at the table agreed with me either, and I had to bring it up the next.
Speaker 1Night Terry and the kids, and I was laugh at as Terry thinks, by the way, you're such an arcist.
Out of that whole conversation, that's what we're going to talk about that piece.
Terry thinks he's sweet, easy going and shy.
Speaker 2But primarily sweet is my main character.
Speaker 1You wanted to say his best characteristic is that he's sweet.
Speaker 2I'm sweet.
I'm very sweet.
Speaker 1I explain, you can be very sweet, but no one would categorize it like that wouldn't be the You'd say funny smart.
Speaker 2Well, it was the fact that loyal, the knowledge.
The takeaway message that you got from that time was that I think I'm sweet and virtually no one else.
Speaker 1Does correct, and I really enjoyed the backup.
Speaker 2I have to say yes, okay, but we did litigate it the next night with a new couple who joined us.
Speaker 1Mitigated it and they didn't agree either.
Speaker 2I thought it was a defense verdict in my favor, to be honest with you, it was the twelve.
Speaker 1Zero everyone can hit Terry's a.
Speaker 2Minute to liberate.
I will need work.
There you go.
