What is up everybody?
I am George Mossey
Please say hello to my co-host, DeeDee.
Hi.
So we're talking Darcy and Stacy this week and we're on season four, episode nine.
And there's a lot.
This was a very dramatic episode, so I don't want to waste any time because we don't have
a whole lot of time.
So first of all, we want to say congrats to Annico who has packed up her life and moved
to Arizona and she's going to college, going out on her own.
And I think that we have something in common.
She said that it was the day that she was supposed to leave for her flight and she
hadn't packed.
I usually am not done packing until my flight is about three to four hours from takeoff.
So I feel like we have that in common because I was like, oh, I feel you, I do that.
I'm literally supposed to be getting in my Uber and I'm still putting things in my suitcase.
So I totally understand that.
And I love the dorm room, right?
Like I felt like it was small and it was generic, but it was clean and it had an air conditioner
that you could control.
So I feel like Annico has a nice little place for her and her roommate seems really nice.
And unfortunately Darcy's life pack kind of left the room smelling like raw sewage because,
okay, so what are your thoughts on putting eggs in the microwave?
I was always told that you don't put eggs in the microwave under any circumstances.
Am I right or is Darcy right?
I've always been told the same, never do that.
So I've never, I've never heard of that.
I was speechless.
I was surprised and I was like eggs in the microwave.
I've never, I've always told not to do it.
And then we learned something about Darcy on this episode.
So apparently she was at a vanilla ice concert and she was going to go up on stage with him
and stage dive and then everyone who was yelling jump decided not to catch her and she landed
face first and face planted on the ground.
So that was interesting and even Annico and Aspen were like, oh, well, that's embarrassing.
And I love that Annico was like, mom, stop worrying about me.
She's like, I'm going to take care of my grades myself.
I'm more motivated in school.
And it was interesting because Darcy was so worried.
Like it's interesting to see this side of her, the motherly side of her, because we
always see her in her relationships and in her business.
And sometimes she's making decisions that we don't agree with.
But being a mom, Darcy really has it down.
She is such a great mom.
And I felt like she was so worried and it's going to be difficult because her two daughters
are the most constant things in her life other than her sister, Stacey and her dad.
So she's going to be like really trying to adapt to a lifestyle of knowing that her
little girl is a grown adult woman living her own life on the other side of the country.
So I feel like those emotions were so real on this episode.
Yes, and I can totally feel exactly where Darcy's coming from.
I mean, I'm a mom and my daughter lives an hour from me and I'm always texting, calling,
just to see if she's okay.
And so I can definitely relate.
I wouldn't know how to react if my daughter flew pretty much across the world to college.
I mean, but Annico, she has got a good head on her shoulders and Darcy is, she's a wonderful
mom.
And I love seeing that side of Darcy in this episode.
That really, that's a side that we never get to see.
So that was special.
It was.
It was special.
It's nice to see that side of her because we always see her in her personal life.
And she did try to leave her daughters out of the show in the beginning and then she
brought them in later on.
And it's just nice to see that side of her.
So I want to talk about Stacey because she was unable to find a dress in a store that
she liked.
And she's been planning this wedding this whole season and Florian has been trying to
stop her from planning the wedding this whole season because everything is too expensive,
waste of money, out of control.
So Stacey found this woman, Katarina Bucci, who is a huge big name dress designer and
she specializes in personalized dresses.
She makes dresses that are made for specific women, what they want.
And they even talk about the designs that they want.
And she decided on like a mermaid fitted dress.
So this dress is going to be amazing.
And she was going to show Stacey kind of the design that was going to go on the dress,
not the actual dress.
And with permission from Stacey, so Florian could see it because Florian was like, you
know, even in my culture, in my country, you're not supposed to see it, but it wasn't the
full dress.
So they did show Stacey the vision that they had been talking about and creating.
And it looked amazing.
And the fact that she said that each piece was hand sewn.
Can you imagine how many hours that took?
Because there had to be like five or six thousand stud diamonds on that.
And she was just like, oh yeah, all of this was hand done hours and hours of work.
And I was like, how amazing is that?
They didn't say how much it was going to cost.
I guarantee you we're talking thousands and thousands of dollars, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, first off, you know, us women, we, whenever we're small, that's what we dream of.
You know, the perfect wedding, the perfect dress, you know, the perfect look.
And I was like, come on, Florian, you're trying to talk her out of it.
Come on now.
This is Stacey.
We're talking about Stacey here.
Come on.
She's got to be, you know, top notch.
It's got to be like a showstopper when she walks in the room.
And you know, just seeing her get emotional off just a little sample piece, I can imagine
how emotional she's going to be.
Whatever the whole dress is done.
Like, I mean, just by that little sample piece, I was like, oh my gosh, you know, it is going
to be a gorgeous dress.
I'm excited.
I can't wait to see the finished, you know, the finished dress and exactly, you know,
how it's going to be.
And, but with it being Stacey, she's going to be gorgeous anyway.
So it's going to be in a site to see.
So after the dress, after seeing the dress, she got a missed call from Conrad.
Conrad is their designer back at House of 11 in LA.
And apparently the samples that Conrad sent them, the promo samples for the Impossible
Kicks collab were needing to be sent back to LA so they could go to production because
they're going to be launching this very soon.
And they need a large amount of clothing to put in the stores for this launch.
So the problem was they were waiting to do a promo shoot for the actual sample.
So they had something to post on social media, something to put on Houseof11.com.
And Darcy was obviously in Arizona and couldn't do that.
So Stacey made a executive decision.
She's been making a lot of those this season.
And she decided that she and Florian were going to have a last minute photo shoot and
get some promo material because she felt something is always better than nothing, which I actually
agree with.
But Darcy didn't feel the same way.
Darcy felt like as a 50-50 shareholder in this company, she should have been notified
even if she wasn't going to be in the photos, she wanted to be able to have a say in it.
And she also said that she would have used more than one model.
She would have had guys and girls and she would have done different backgrounds and
she would have wanted a glam team.
And a lot of the stuff that she wanted, I don't know if they had enough time for because
I know that this was very last minute.
They had to FedEx overnight these samples back to LA.
So I know Darcy wanted to have her say in it.
But how much of that do you think was feasible?
Do you think that if Stacey would have called her, they would have had time to pull off
the photo shoot that Darcy wanted?
Or do you feel like this was the best that they could have done with the amount of time
they had?
In this situation, I would have to be on Stacey's side because she was trying to give Darcy
the time and the respect for her to get everything organized with Aniko out in Arizona with the
college.
And with her being pressured to overnight the material, it's like they had one day to
the next to get everything done.
And I think it was a blown out of proportion just a little bit on Darcy's side.
I see where Florian and Stacey was going with it.
You know, like Stacey said, the business has to go on, it can't stop for anyone.
It has to keep going.
I feel like they had good intentions.
I don't feel like that Stacey and Florian did this in any gevious way because I feel
like Darcy looked at it as, well, you waited till I was out of town and you started making
decisions without me and you're doing things that I wouldn't approve of.
And I don't feel like Stacey and Florian had any negative intention when they did it.
I felt like they felt this was a good business decision because once the samples were gone,
they probably weren't going to get anything back until a day or two before the launch.
And they weren't going to have a lot of time to get promotional photos done because they
could have posters made, put in the store to show people they could have banners outside.
They could have social media posts leading up to the event, but without the samples,
they wouldn't be able to do that.
So like you said, I think that they did it in the best interest of the business, but
since Darcy was left out of it, she kind of felt like, well, you don't get to decide
what's the best interest of the business without me.
But when it comes to business, it's kind of like show business.
Like Stacey said, it has to go on.
You have to make decisions.
And if someone isn't there to make a decision, Stacey being a 50-50 shareholder, she isn't
allowed to make decisions on her own being that much of a shareholder.
And that blow up at the end that we watched, I guess that's part of the consequences of
being a business owner, especially when you're sharing it with someone else because it's
hard to please two people, right?
Like, you know, you're doing something that in your mind is right, but in the other person's
mind, they're like, well, I would have had better photo shoot.
I would have had a better background.
I would have had, and it's like, I would have, I would have, I would have, but you weren't
there to do it.
And it's like, I want to, I want to be on Darcy's side, but I feel like Stacey did the
best that she could with the time she had.
And I, and Stacey was like, just say thank you.
You know, say thank you to me for what I did because I didn't have to do anything.
We wouldn't have anything at all.
And Darcy's like, well, it kind of looks like we don't have anything at all.
You know, like, I don't like what came out of this.
And I, I hate seeing that because I remember there was a time when Darcy and Stacey were
so close watching the seasons and watching them back on 90 day.
And Darcy said something on this episode that caught my attention.
She said when she got back to Miami, the first thing she did was call Leslie.
And I was like, I remember a time when she would get back to Miami and the first thing
she would do is call her sister.
And I was like, it's really growing evident that they're growing apart.
And this season is really showcased how different they're becoming.
And it's almost scary because we've watched them literally dress alike, do the same things.
They were going to have a wedding and get married at the same time.
And now they don't even speak.
Like there's times where one will be out of town, come back in town, not even call the
other one and say, I'm home, I'm here, I made it safely.
And it's like their relationship is really changing.
And I think it has to do with the fact that Stacey is getting married and Darcy isn't.
And it's funny that this is driving them apart because Darcy marrying Georgie wasn't a good
idea.
And I feel like she made a great decision postponing and stopping an end in that relationship.
And speaking of that, there's a new guy that she's kind of excited to start talking to named
Zach.
I want to get your thoughts on Zach because he's more her style, right?
So far.
I was like, like, just by looking at the picture and talking to him on the phone, it was like
she just she fell in love.
And that's that's Darcy.
That's who Darcy is.
That's who Darcy is always being.
And I don't I don't I don't really know what to say on this one because just like every
time I think Darcy is is she's going she's fast, coordinate too fast.
And she needs to like pump the brakes just a little bit, you know what I'm saying?
And but Darcy deserves happiness.
Darcy deserves, you know, the best in life.
But for her to, you know, make the comments that she made just by looking at a picture
and talking to him on the phone, you know, talking about vibration all over her body
and stuff.
I mean, that's just that's that Darcy, you know, but that's going a little bit too fast.
She needs to pump the brakes just a little bit.
Yeah, she's all in all the time.
And I think she is excited about the idea of finding someone.
And I think, like you said, she falls in love with their looks and an idea.
And I think she should focus more on getting to know that person and seeing if they're
compatible because attractive doesn't make them compatible.
And I think Darcy, she kind of bases her compatibility on attraction.
And I think that's kind of how we've ended up in this place with her and her dating history
now because attraction is like her number one thing that she's looking for.
And unfortunately, attractive people can be horrible people.
So it's like we have to focus a little more on the deeper inside of that person and not
just how good looking they are on their Instagram.
And I think that's something that we're going to learn along the way with Darcy.
All right, we've run out of time.
