That was probably the only way he could stop Vicki from popping by for a visit 😂

How would that stop her? She would pay someone to get her there on a barge, a rowboat, smuggle her in. I'm certain Michael won't have to see her as much being in Hawaii.

But what exactly has Michael done on his own, to acquire what he has in life? Did he pay his way through college? Did he even graduate from college? Does he have a skill in any trade?

He seems like a smug little dick IMO.

She made the down payment, then gave Steve the installment papers.

Finally finally finally finally! I could not be any happier. She is putting quite a spin on it, but we all know that she was fired. OK so now

He is working for Vicki's company but is working remotely due to COVID.  Must be nice.  And yes, he is a typical over-privileged white guy but he doesn't seem like an ass to me.  At least from what he posts on FB, lol!

Nailed it!! Brianna has always accepted the very generous gifts her mom gave her (cars, down payments on homes, college) and never once said "i can do this on my own"  or "Ryan and i can make it on our own." 

I disagree.  As I remember it, Vicki gave her a car AND the car payments.  Gee, thanks Mom.  

Brianna is a nurse.  While weirdos may be the outliers, I consider nurses to be very special people and should have been "Time Man of the Year," especially this year.  They are our heroes.

If she is a real nurse (and I think she is), she is the real deal.  Please note I'm not commenting on her mother or brother.

My sisters, are a nurse and teacher respectively. They are heros and I agree time people of the year status but they aren’t gods. That’s what happened with the police after 9/11, imo, they became “gods”. They are doing rewarding, amazing work but it’s a job, not the person. Ryan and Briana have always seem like awful, ungrateful sour pusses.

I'm asking this respectfully and seriously: Is there any other kind of nurse than a "real" nurse?

 

I could be wrong, but think it is a dig at Lu from RHONY who has a nursing degree but has never worked as a nurse.

That's how I remember it.  Vicki was so excited to "give" her a car, but then turned around and said Brianna would be paying for it.  I always liked Brianna.  She was one of the few who smelled the B.S. Brooks was pedaling, and she tried to warn her Mom about him, but Vicki was too stubborn to listen to her.  I think Brianna turned out pretty well considering some of the nonsense her mother could come up with.  Out of all of the OC's kids, she's one of the few that I didn't mind seeing onscreen.  I admire how hard she worked to become an E.R. Nurse.

I assumed the poster was asking if Brianna was a LPN or a RN. Brianna has a degree as a RN, Lu had a diploma as a LPN which takes much less training and performs different and much more restricted duties than a RN. I believe Lu claims to have worked as a LPN when she first graduated. Some people, because of the duties they perform, do not consider LPNs to be "real" nurses, but more along the lines of a care aide.  Certainly during a pandemic though, all are at risk when working with patients who have the disease. That goes too for many of those working in a hospital, including cleaning staff.

Rn here who knows that LPNs are every-bit real nurses. Their duties are almost identical.

Vicki will be peddling insurance on her new podcast.  Thrilling.

“I think a lot of the listeners will be women because it’s [on] a women network [called Luxe Media]. So, from there, I want to kind of go into what happens if there’s a divorce, what happens if there’s a job loss — you know, setting people up for the unknown,” she told Us Weekly exclusively. “I always say, ‘Plan for the unplanned.’ So, I’m going to get into the nitty-gritty of insurance, what types of insurance people should have and really just do more of an authentic podcast.”

I actually think it's smart of her to focus on financial planning. There is an over saturation of Housewives podcasts - LVP, Teddi, Kameron/Kary, etc - and, it's like, how much content can you really get out of being a Housewife talking about all things Housewives? But Vicki does have actual expertise in a way that could be relatable to the average listener. Empowering women to be financially independent could be a smart niche for her. But then I always respected that she is one of the few housewives who came into the show with a viable business (and stuck with it throughout).

For someone who haughtily claimed to Braunwyn at last year's reunion that "I don't do podcasts," Vicki sure does a lot of podcasts. Let's see, by the end of that same reunion she was plugging a podcast she was doing with Westwood One, there was Whoop it Up with Vicki, and now there's Reality with Vicki. I'm probably missing some.

For me personally I don't care how many insurance sales awards she's received, I'd never take advice of any sort from a woman who made up stories about cancer. There are plenty of women who built a successful business from the ground up that aren't morally bankrupt.

Why does Vicki keep doing this weird teaser posts on IG about Steve? Have they broken up, have they not broken up? They haven't broken up, but they are taking a break.  Okay, but she still puts the broken heart emoji. 

She and her daughter's family are on my last nerve.  She just posted a picture of her whole extended family in Mexico.  Nice to see she can flee when the rest of us have been dealing with a 10 month lockdown... ugh

Michael graduated. He works in the family  business, and must be doing well because he’s been at it for years. He may have his Job from family connections, which more power to him, but that doesn’t get policies signed and renewed.

Ryan apparently has a new business set up.  The way he talks it sounds like they are swimming in cash. I'd like to know where they get all their money. 

He had been asking on his IG lives for awhile if anyone needed help getting set up with a business/living for yourself/off the grid.  He said he would move his family and set up shop on your property and help you get set up.  They were also looking in really rural areas.  Now it sounds like they want to be closer to her family.

They do move a lot.  And honestly, I wouldn't mind doing that myself if I could afford it.  I love trying new locations and I do understand wanting to be near family.  Although he recently said in an IG live that he basically came from nothing and lived in a trailer until he was 7, and was out on the streets when he was 15.  It also appears he isn't very close to his family, so maybe there's not as many ties as they thought in NC.  He is also hell bent on having the kids in schools without masks, so... I don't know.

I thought it was weird that he kept basically soliciting business partners on his IG.  I mean, I guess he's not alone. A lot of millennials I know are changing careers and doing more self-employment, but a lot of that sounds a little shady.  Now it looks like he's going to have mini cows on the property where they are moving, so I assume they will be far outside the city limits!

I don’t know...it could be that Brianna has always rubbed me the wrong way, it could be that Ryan has always seemed smugly satisfied with his behavior. They just seem shady. Ryan just gives off this vibe where he thinks he’s too good for a job. My guess is Brianna will become the family’s main source of income while Ryan dabbles in one shady business after another.

Ryan sound like he may be one of those crazy militia people. And Vickie and Brianna are going right along with him. He hasn't changed much from the time that he verbally assauted Lydia's mother and threatened her over a damn couch.  He is a little man with a Napoleon complex and most likely well stocked with weapons. Brianna is just as bad as he is.

Always hit the nail, Fozzy.

I admittedly spend too much time looking at their IG but I also don’t watch the new seasons so, call it even lol.

I actually asked in one of his lives if Briana would still be an ER nurse and he said if they moved off the grid she would just work as a nurse at home.  So I guess they were young fir a Little House on the Prairie setup. 

But yes, it must be nice if your wife can provide a stable income and benefits while you do whatever you want. I know a couple like that. She works all the time and he is basically a house husband who takes odd job projects once in awhile. Whatever floats your boat, but I sure as hell wouldn’t be okay with working and having my husband stay home and play. But on the other hand, I can’t see Ryan being able to work with others in any capacity.

He also said he ran a non-profit in Oklahoma. He really just managed Toys for Tots. I wouldn’t say that’s the same as running a non profit.

Oh god lord. I thought they loved NC because they are in favor of small government. I guess it’s ok when it helps them. For the record, I’m all in favor of Veteran benefits and think a program like this sounds great. I just have my suspicions that Briana and Ryan have “opinions” about other people who get government assistance or tax breaks.

None of it makes sense. Seemed like the family was thriving in beautiful NC. The overall tax benefits NC vs. IL seems to favor NC.

Since Brianna is an ER Nurse, she is in high demand and would not have a problem finding a job. Not sure what Ryan does. 
If they are trying to escape Icki, maybe the should consult Michael because he seems to have figured it out (he doesn’t have children, so that might be part of it).

They both said they were disappointed in the schools where they live now.  Ryan said he wants the kids in school, no masks.  I assume they will live far outside Chicago because I can't see him fitting in there at all. 

They both get on my nerves.
