Bros & Shows - Ask Me About My Weiner (Southern Hospitality Full Recap)
Episode Date: February 25, 2025What's up Bros? It's Sir Weiner time in SoHo. TJ is getting ready for his big debut event with Sir Weiners. He has a lot to prove to himself and to the people around him and you can tell this event me...ans a lot to him. Will and Emmy still feel victimized for some bizarre reason, but have decided to sweep it all under the rug and move on... Joe Bradley is coming on a little strong post "wedding" as Maddi is still trying to get her footing after her disastrous relationship with Trevor. Lake has decided that the Brad chase has run its course and it's time to move on. We love a good fling with an end date, fun for everyone with no damage. Michols and Preston double date with Lake and her BFWB Shelby. Lake and Shelby have a deep and complex relationship and are besties while also being intimate. Soulmates in some regard. Michols questions Lake about her families reception of her being bisexual and Lake says due to the succesful, southern, religious family values she grew up with, she has yet to broach the topic with her dad. What better mentor to help navigate this than Michols, who he himself has been on this journey with his own family. The Sir Weiner's event goes off without a hitch (other than Will's bad attitude) and even Leva gives TJ his flowers. Emmy even shows up in a hot dog costume in support. TJ kills it and is super proud of himself (rightly so) for pulling it off. But after hearing that Emmy is still talking smack, this time to Taylor, he questions Emmy and where they stand. Joey Bottles doubles down and brings up the living situation with Maddi. He has already announced his one year plan of getting engaged and now he presses Maddi about a move in timeline and based on where Maddi is in life, it may not be the right time to push this one on her...

There you are, pushing your newborn baby in a stroller through the park.
The first time out of the house in weeks.
You have your Starbucks, venty, because, you know, sleep deprivation.
You meet your best friend. She asks you how it's going.
You immediately begin to laugh.
Then cry. Then laugh cry? That's totally normal, right?
She smiles, you hug.
There's no one else you'd rather share this with.
You know, three and a half hour sleep is more than enough.
Starbucks, it's never just coffee.
Wait, was that the group chat?
Ah, sent a text to the group that definitely wasn't for everyone.
You're good.
Enjoy some goldfish cheddar crackers.
Goldfish have short memories.
Be like goldfish.
I feel like now is a good as time as any to just say, ask me about my weiner.
We're never going to have a better time.
I was pumped that they made the reference.
I wonder if people are listening
Know that
What's that what that's from?
It's accepted, right?
Yeah, yeah, it's from accepted
with Joan Hill doing it
Just a great movie
They don't make movies like that anymore
Comedies have just fallen
Right out of the window
Underrated
I forgot it Justin Long
Blake lively
I think so, yeah
Jonah Hill
And there's a couple other randos in there
Wow
Ask me about my wiener
Shows and shows.
I got to have me my pros and shows.
Bros and shows.
Brose and shows.
I got to have me my bros and shows.
Good evening, everybody.
Welcome back to another episode of Bros.
and Shows.
I am your co-host, Steele Russell,
joined as always by the one and only.
Boots Scoot McGout.
What's up, dude?
Not a whole lot.
Just here to talk about our favorite show on TV now.
Southern Hospital.
It is, honestly.
This is my favorite Joe.
Even for the episodes that you can consider as down episodes, they're just still so funny.
Like nothing bothers me.
Now that like we really don't give a shit about Will and Emmy, and obviously we'll talk a little bit more about that this episode because it seems to be something that we have to talk about all the time.
But I don't care about it.
So we will just recap it, talk about it.
You guys know how we feel.
But even like Joe and Maddie getting into it, it's so funny the way that they fight.
Like everything is just funny to me for the.
this show and I love it well I agree and there is one scene that irritated me but
not in like I don't want to watch this kind of way more in a how is your younger
sister more mature than you kind of way you know what I mean like that I was
just like this is crazy to watch but yeah I agree with you there's never a
visceral reaction from there I'm like fuck this show and yeah we get that way
sometimes don't get me like I love the shows we watch but there are times like
if it's a if it's a slog through kind of season and we've had a few
of those you get one of those episodes where one of like a recurring trope happens and i'm like
fuck this show fuck everything about it yeah that rears its ugly head here and again but uh
uh look as long as the cast doesn't start getting too rich and they don't have to start
pretending like they work a republic and they're living in bigger houses this show will be great
oh wow what you don't this you don't want them to be successful is what you're saying
uh no for my enjoyment i want them to stay the same
minimum wage contracts forever to keep to keep the authenticity of the show well shit
after this episode tj might be might be rich i think this is a good idea i think sir weeners is a
hit yeah yeah they uh they pivoted over to lamar's sports club so they're no longer at republic
but every sunday you can get yourself some sir weeners i just like this is a good idea it's a
good idea and the merch again everybody i know we've been saying it for weeks now if you haven't
looked at the merch like it's legit i guess you can only pre-order it now so uh i know they have
hoodies crew decks sweatpants t-shirts all of that sort but uh i don't know when they're
actually coming out i think it's still in pre-order i feel like what he was probably doing is waiting
until this episode came out i thought that he had and we'll talk about his party a little bit later
but i thought that everything like the attention to detail was so good the little matchbooks on the
counter were so cool little coasters like he really went all out i'm proud yeah and those dogs
They look good.
It looks solid.
I love a good, love a good hot dog.
You know what shirt I want?
You know what shirt I want?
You know what shirt I want.
But I want the crop top that says weeners on it.
Yeah, you do.
For this summer.
Yeah, I know.
At least I'm consistent.
Down Wildwood on the beach.
I'll rock that shit down Wildwood.
You'll ask me about my weiner and I'll wear my wiener shirt.
Yeah.
You'll have, uh, you'll be walking up on the boardwalk with all the people in their, uh,
probably Cooper Dejean jerseys because that's, you know, that's going to go multi-platinum this summer in Wildwood.
Wildwood, most valuable jersey will be Cooper DeGine without fail, followed closely by
by Seguan.
Yeah.
Yep.
That's the run down.
And then there'll be a Hertz jersey and that person, if you walk by them every time,
they will say, QB1, it's QB1.
Fuck the haters.
And I will not argue with that person.
No, he is QB1.
Everyone else said, by the way, fuck the haters.
Anyway, let's get to some Soho.
And it's good you don't get bothered by them anymore because,
We start out with Emmy and Will and everybody's recovering from Vegas.
Everyone's laying in bed till 4 p.m. waking up a little groggy.
And I will say this, these two suck.
Okay.
It's just tough.
I thought that was going to be like such a deeper quote or no.
No.
Look, I will say this much about them.
Yeah, let me go into like a five minute long like sermon about how much they suck.
And these two just suck.
Yeah.
Well, I'm where you are.
I don't have the energy for it anymore because I just want to enjoy this show.
So when I see them, my expectations are now so low that I don't get aggravated.
I'm just like, oh, here we go.
I'm with you.
I am so with you.
Especially, like, the way they view the weekend, even they're like, we had to deal with
everyone's bullshit.
It's like, no, Emmy, you had to deal with your boyfriend's bullshit.
This is all a product of him, but you're going to keep blaming it on everybody else.
And you can tell that he's guilty in this scene because he's like, yeah, you know, it really
bother me.
But I'm ready to just brush it.
I'm gonna just brush out of the rug.
But like what pisses me off the most is,
and like obviously I get like it's a TV show
and you guys think that this is captivating and it's huge
and it's all this and that and whatever.
From the sounds of it,
you guys actually had maybe Will didn't,
but Emmy had a great weekend.
Like you guys got to go out to Vegas on a cast trip.
You probably didn't pay for shit.
No, you're on Maddie's died.
Yeah.
Hence why Joey Bottles was getting room service at 2 o'clock in the morning
with caviar and lobster and all that.
No,
that's because he thought that they actually got married.
I'm going to talk about that.
Yeah, I know.
That is so funny.
But like, you guys had a good weekend.
Emmy talks about how she went to the casino with Maddie.
Like, that's the girl time.
Like, clearly, your relationship's not affecting your friendship with Maddie.
If you're still able to hang out with her in the casino till 5 a.m.
Everything sounds so fun.
And yet, you guys really just want to, like, destroy our eardrums with your dumb bullshit about your relationship.
Man, like just negative Nancy.
Yeah, we're the pariah of Charleston.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
And then they point at, and look, is there some truth to this?
Yes, but this is projection coming from these two because they're like,
I think Maddie's freaking out from that wedding thing.
I think she's freaking out.
I'm like, shut up.
You're just trying.
She's not freaking out from the wedding thing, but we'll talk about what's going on.
We will talk about it.
But what Emmy's doing right here is quite clearly jealousy because Will would never do this for you.
And Joey Bottles did it after four months of dating Maddie.
That's what this is about.
It's not about anything else.
so don't try to make it about anything else.
But let's move on.
You ready to move on?
Let's move on.
I want to move on.
Yeah,
I'd like to move on too because now we get back to Joe and Maddie.
And they seem pretty chill.
Like I liked how they jumped from that scene to this scene
and it's just like waking up,
Maddie's back is sore.
She does mention some certain things.
And I could see that.
She's like,
you know,
the wedding wasn't real.
And you hear Joe making,
and I'm sure he's been doing this since.
And it's one of those where he's kind of joking,
but he also wants her to match his energy.
You know what I mean?
He's like,
Yeah, he's like, come on, like, play into it.
Like, please.
And she's like, ha, ha, Joe, okay, like, get your fucking hairs off the sink.
He's like, oh, like, by the way, like, shaving over somebody is fucking diabolical.
Yeah, that's diabolical.
Like, the little stubble, you don't get that out of clothes.
No, no, you can't get that out of clothes at all.
But, yeah, I think that, like, he could have easily just woken up and said something like, you know what?
We didn't really talk about your name change.
You're going to change your last name?
Bottles.
Maddie Bottles?
That was funny.
That would be funny.
He just keeps doing it.
And like, I feel like if anybody else on this show kept making the joke, I would be rolling my eyes by like the third or fourth time.
I cracked up laughing every single time that he said something about her being his wife or the wedding or whatever it was.
It's just so funny.
Like in the middle of a heated moment later in the episode, he goes, yeah, I mean, and you're my wife.
I know.
I know.
How are you still doing?
It's because he wants her to match the energy.
He wants her to say, I know, you're my husband.
Ha, ha.
and she's not there because she is.
But like, she's fine.
Her credit, if she does it, who knows if there's ever going to be a stop in this?
Like, if you give him a little bit more, he's just going to keep going.
He's going to take it to the next level.
You don't want to do that.
You don't want to open that door for Joe.
No, you want to knock him down a little bit.
But the thing is, like, she's not like panicking.
She's not hitting a panic throttle because he's talking about this stuff.
She's just more getting irritated by it.
And you jump back to like Maddie or sorry, Emmy and Will.
And she's like, vacation's over.
Like, you're free, it's like, dude, fucking stop with the negativity because your relationship sucks.
All right.
Like, just get over it.
And she's like, and she's like, oh, like he was so pissed when they got back to the room.
And I agree.
Like, that's not a great look, Joey.
Like, they went down to the casino.
They're in fucking Vegas.
It's Maddie's trip and they parted.
They played blackjack until 5 a.m.
And he's like, it was our, it was our wedding night.
It was our wedding night.
And I ordered caviar and lobster and this and that.
The other, it's like, Joey, we love you to death.
He did not get married, bro.
You didn't get married.
Oh, my God.
He just has an ability to just continue to take the joke to the next level.
Like, all of this was fully planned out before he went out.
Oh, my God, yeah.
We knew that he had the wedding and everything planned out, but I'm talking about the room service.
I'm saying that he probably had so much more planned.
I guarantee you there was probably like rose pedals somewhere in there in the bed.
Like, he really did want to drive this.
Like, this is our wedding.
night right yeah like that here's the thing if she had gone along with it and been like this
counts right he'd be like yes we're married now but he's like he's kind of keeping it at bay
because she's like and every confessional she has she's like it wasn't real it's a joke everybody
it's a joke everybody but the bottom line she's handling it well she's taking it in stride
and he's excited and he just wants her to match his energy but we get to lake and michael's and
Lake's over, Brad.
It's like the chase was going.
It was a good time.
Let's put this one in a box.
Tuck it under the bed.
We don't have to talk about it.
I'm like, I'm down.
Great.
Perfect.
I am so down for it.
Yeah.
I like a little fling.
Yeah, I love a little fling.
And I love that we can move on with no drama.
No one has to the fucking get pissed off because they hook up with somebody else.
And just, maybe they made out.
Let's move on from this whole thing.
But we're at Republic.
And I will always give this dude props, Michaels, for being like the most mature.
responsible 21 year old ever he's like yeah you know and i leave republic i i panic because that place
can't function without me and he's like recanting a story of he was gone and somebody called somebody
a bitch everything melted down he's like this is why i don't go leva gives him his flowers where he's
like this phenom so i will always give him props because i'm just so impressed by the guy yeah
but it's sir we're prepping for we had tj's big event he got his hot dog cart ready to go
I'm going to talk about it right now
because
a hot dog cart
right
implies mobile
I can roll
cart
yeah yeah
totally
we need to fix the cart
if you need a dolly to move the cart
no
yeah we're going to need some wheels on that bad boy
anytime you say hot dog cart
I think about like the beach
the hot dog cards down there they've all got the beach
tires right you can fashion that bad boy
however you want you got to get some wheels on it
We need wheels, right?
Like, that's a big, I mean, hopefully if they're doing well, we'll know how that's it.
We'll know how well Sir Wieners is doing.
Whether or not wheels next.
Yeah, if they have wheels.
Okay.
Yeah, that's a good sign if they get wheels on that thing.
But we got T.J., Mia, and Molly, and they're at brunch, like I said, prepping for the Sir Wieners event.
And they're going over the boys brunch that they had in Vegas.
And even the flashback pissed me off because Will, the fact that Will and Emmy continue,
to play victim role every single time is really tired, and it's just such a soft way to go about
this whole thing rather than be like, I'm an asshole, sorry, boys.
So that irritated me.
But the other part of it, and I caught onto it a lot more once TJ pointed it out, and I
caught onto it later at the Sir Wiener's event, he's like, there's some, this arrogance about
Will that he thinks he's better than me, just kind of brushes off what I say.
And once I started paying attention, like, I see it.
And that's stupid and that pisses me off even more because it's like,
all right, dude, you're going to law school.
That doesn't make you better than anybody.
Like, who gives this shit?
I don't know.
It doesn't.
But like he should be groveling for their respect.
Like if you're going to be quote unquote man enough to take responsibility for the
things that you said about your own girlfriend at the public in front of everybody else,
bringing everybody in like, yeah,
if you want to create this image of yourself that you're doing this
and you're taking responsibility for your shitty actions,
you should also have some humility and hope that these guys will give you a second chance
but instead he's just he just has this air about him where like he doesn't care he just doesn't
care and unfortunately for emmy he does that to her too like she's fully convinced like he's
going to propose to me we're going to have this beautiful life together like this is what i want
no like he has not shown you that at all all he's shown is that he is an asshole he treats you
terribly he treats he treats everyone terribly so he wants to just be a
in a world of his own and like yeah maybe he's got friends at law school that he's going to hang
out with maybe he's got other friends and he doesn't need these guys anymore i don't know what it is
but like there's jealousy there's just like no humility i just don't know what's going on and why
anybody's not clocking this and just saying fuck it and i think that's what we're kind of seeing by
now tj's feelings are a little hurt i think he was probably close to will and he just feels like
what the hell's going on but you can see joe you can see brad you can see everybody else just
like why are we even going to bother with him anymore there's just no reason but that's like that's the point
they should be at. And I think that they're holding on to certain things because they were boys
of them. He was their best friend. People grow and change and not always for the better. And the guy
that comes back from law school every time does seem arrogant. He does seem like he thinks he's better
than you. So why? Maybe it's because he's getting bullied. Maybe he is getting bullied at law school and he
comes back. And he's like, you know what? It's the chain of bullying. I need to now bully my friends.
I got to bully my girlfriend. I got to take commands because I have no control over the things that
what's happening in law school by this guy over here calling me bravo boy that would be the
most softer than sherman move you could possibly do if that is what he's doing and i think
that's the best mea says it the best or is it molly i think molly said it she said no one's making
a rumor about some mediocre white dude and yeah chef's kiss perfectly said they're not
then even if they are you're fucking what 29 grow up yeah get over it why would that affect
you you're in law school like do your homework stop worrying about what austin's brother's saying about
Like, come on.
It's just so soft.
The whole thing, it's stupid.
It's so soft.

This was a very good scene for Molly because she really does have a pretty good vantage point of all this and a really good take on all of this because she's like.
her entire identity is will right so much more now than it used to be and i think that's why
we liked her last year because we got to see her pursuing her own thing she was very very
dedicated to the job at republic she she really shined last season now that she doesn't have that
and she's taken a step down and she's refocused back to seemingly whatever will is going to do
that's my life i want to get married have kids white picket fence all that i want to i want to be married to
a lawyer. So anytime somebody questions her reality, they're also questioning her identity
and they're questioning her future. And if she put all this time, effort and energy to have
this picture perfect white picket fence life that, by the way, is not waiting for you at the end
of this because he's a dickhead, then when you challenge him, you're challenging her. And I was
like, that's, that's very astute, Molly, very astute observation. I think that Molly's in a great
spot too and this is a good group too because you have tj who like i said before is very hurt by all of this
and again he's very close to all of this you have mea who is very close to all of this but she doesn't
really care she's not going to mince words she's going to speak her mind she's going to tell everybody
how she feels and she seems to be the way of logic for most of this group anyway where she'll be
able to see through all the bullshit and just call it out immediately instead of taking the time to
like carefully word things like she just doesn't care about hurting feelings or stepping on toes
and then you have Molly who is an unassuming third party who isn't that close to this who doesn't
who is not going to be any sort of you know connected to one side or another she's going to be
able to just see it for what it is at a low like a higher altitude look over everything and be
like yeah this is bullshit and if she's sitting there and we have we have heard her say before
she doesn't necessarily care for emmy when her and chavon are sitting down on i think the second
episode they don't really like any and i get that but they pity her exactly so if there's
somebody here who admittedly you're not really friends with you're not really close to you don't
really care for but you're watching this whole situation unfold and you're still able to sit there
and say completely unbiased yeah will is ruining her life he's doing all of this to her and we've seen
him do that that's the person that we should be listening to that's the person that tj needs to be listening
to too and he needs to just for his own betterment just remove himself from all of it because there
nothing you can do is going to make your life any better you're just going to create more of the hell
for yourself. Yeah, and by the way, dude, you seem to have found something here. And I believe
that. I think this is a good idea. I think this can branch out in a good way. So, focus on you.
And when, like, I think that's something that we see repeatedly with TJ. And I think that
might be why we get those moans because we like TJ. I really like TJ. When he's not being
mean to people, he's great. But I think that he goes so low. Yeah. Because I think there's times
he's insecure about his path in life, perhaps.
So when people kind of fuck with him.
We see that whenever he gets his feelings hurt, like, and then it happens.
But like, you can't deny that he's getting his feelings hurt.
Like, we watch it happen.
It's like, oh, that sucks.
Yeah, it is.
I mean, it sucks.
Even with the Joe Bradley thing, like, our first reaction was like, this whole thing's
fucked, but when you hear his side of it, it's like, I still don't love how you handled
it.
Yeah, but your feelings are valid.
Yeah, your feelings are valid too.
So I think that's why you see those moments where you're like, oh, fuck, TJ.
That was really mean.
I don't think he's like intentionally malicious.
I think when he gets his feelings hurt, he lashes out.
So I think that by, like, because you could see it in his way.
You know what?
I'll say it for a little bit later because I want to get to that.
Yeah, when we toss that big.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But we get to the hot dog cart itself.
And you get the preamble from him.
This is a big deal because he wants to prove himself for a multitude of reasons.
My favorite reason by far is the fact that his ex's penis was pet named Sir Wiener.
which also is not not the most clever nickname no you know but it's funny so this is like a double whammy
he has to be successful because if not his ex and his ex's penis get the last laugh and i won't stand
for that so i can see i can see tj nighting his ex's penis and i dubbed the sir weiner
like i could see that happening when he was talking about this thing that is actually really
funny it's pretty funny okay that that made it better that actually made a funnier all right i'm i'm back on
board for the nickname but we can't let his wiener win and that's when i said i wrote down uh isn't
the point of a hot dog cart to roll so hopefully we can get some wheels on that bad boy maybe
we can start to go fund me but after the success of the first event something tells me they can get
some wheels but we get to my i don't know how i felt about this i thought the scene i really like
this see i really like that's what i was saying i was going to say my favorite scene but i don't know
it's my favorite scene.
Yeah.
I just really enjoyed it because you get Peyton and Emmy.
Peyton is Emmy's sister, eight years younger.
She's coming to visit Emmy.
They're having a little sit down and she brings up these cheating rumors.
And just watching her facial reactions to things that Emmy's saying was my favorite part
because she's not buying anything.
Yeah, she's like listening to her talk.
And she's like, you know, it's just, Emmy's rationalizing every way that she possibly can.
to try to make this okay she's like will and i love each other and everyone makes up all these
lies all the time and there's like a cut scene of emmy telling will how much will loves her right
you love me so much in this and that and he worships the ground that i walk on i think she said at
some point like no which is ridiculous but she says something about bed sheets as well in this
whole monologue about how much you will this is how much you love me yeah
The only thing that Will responds to is the bed sheets.
I wash my own bed sheets.
She just proclaimed your love for her.
And your only response is that you wash your own bedsheets.
It just,
those scenes just don't make me uncomfortable anymore.
I just don't care.
It has no effect on me anymore because we know what their relationship is,
but I did think it was funny because I believe that Emmy brought her sister in thinking
this was going to be a good time.
This is somebody who's got my back.
I need this backup.
This is my support person.
She's my sister.
She loves me.
She wants the best for me.
Those things are true.
Unfortunately, the best thing for you is not Will.
So this scene did not go how Emmy thought it would.
And we once again got to see her like have a full down anxiety, like panic explanation about
everything that's going on because she could see the tides turning.
Peyton is not listening to you.
She's looking at you like, what the fuck are you talking about here?
You're nuts.
Why are we doing this?
You are absolutely nuts.
I loved it because that's what we need.
We need more people who are close to Emmy to look at her and be like, dude, you are nuts.
Like, no, he's not going to propose to you next year.
That would be crazy.
Based on the things that he's been doing, he's trying to alienate you so that he can have his cake and eat it too.
And he doesn't have to worry about you getting any rumors because you're not going to believe anything because you have this crazy thing going on where you think everybody's out to get you.
They're not.
They're trying to help you.
And that's all it is.
And I feel like she could kind of see Peyton going down that road.
but in the best way and this is just I guess
there's no better way to explain it than just saying like this is sisterhood
where she doesn't have to say anything
Peyton doesn't have to respond she responds with one word answers
and just throws a couple of looks like mm-hmm sure okay
yeah and that speaks so much louder than anybody else
of Republic going after Emmy and talking about Will cheating it's like
dude your sister hates your boyfriend why are you trying to do this
I don't know and like you said she's like I think Will's going to propose
next, next summer, say, what do you think?
Should we get married in London?
And she's like, I think it's so great that you believe him because I wouldn't.
Yeah.
And she's like, what do you?
She could tell she like took a stretch.
She's like, what?
Like, fuck, this is backfiring.
Why is this backfiring?
And she's like, I wouldn't believe it.
It's just these rumors.
The best thing about her responses is that she cleans it up.
Well, she's like, the rumors are just scary.
It's just scary.
That's all.
That's all.
And I hate that.
approaches this condescending approach as the older sister you'll learn when you get older learn what
she knows more than you based on friendships your boyfriend hates you he hates you like if
at the very least you're not friends like yeah he literally talks shit about you all over charleston
and the other big thing to point out here let's say in some alternate reality he isn't cheating on her
has not cheated on her, right?
Your entire friend group just tried to rip you two apart, all right?
Let's say that they didn't cheat.
They're actually, he's actually innocent.
This whole thing is some big charade, right?
If that's the case, he doesn't brush it.
It's not a move where it's like, ah, we'll get over this.
I want my friends back.
If this is real, it's like, no, guys, you tried to ruin my future marriage.
Fuck you.
It would be a bigger deal than we're going to,
sway this of water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.
I'm going to go hang out with the boys.
It's like that's not how this would go.
So, again, the writing's on the wall.
Your sister sees this whole thing.
And if you have to keep defending and if you have to keep speaking for Will,
we don't ever lie to each other and you don't cheat on somebody you love.
And that's just how it goes.
Do I seem happy?
Do I seem happy?
If you have to ask that, no.
No.
And here's my favorite person ever says that.
Because you said we got like a classic like where she kind of melts down.
I've gotten to the point now where I write it down as her freaking out.
Do you see?
Oh, that's so funny, dude.
All over the top.
Spont skipping notes.
Yeah, like the fucking joker laughing.
That's what I wrote.
Yeah.
That is pretty much what it is.
So I wrote it as crazy as she says it.
It's like a second time bomb.
It's insane.
Like as soon as Peyton says something that she doesn't agree with and she's like, oh,
shit, are you going to do this to me too?
I'm going to go right into that and spiral in.
It's insane.
You can just, you can count down.
like set your watch to it yeah she's like yes after a long pause she goes yes in response to do i
seem happy and then she goes well you seem overwhelmed and she goes overwhelmed you're so cute me
you're so cute like no she has she is down to earth baiton understands what's happening right now
you've lost the plot and it's not your fault emmy your boyfriend is a mental terrorist
so like i get it but let's let's go through this list and then we can move on from this scene
all of your friends all of them not one or two all of your friends have warned you about this guy
people you don't know have come up to you and said something about this people you don't know
have heard from will himself talking shit about you and now your sister who is a freshman in
college or sophomore in college just laid it out there for you without laying it out there
for you but we can read between the lines people when that's when
When we say it, we've talked about it, you just got to walk away.
You're a grown up.
If you want to live this life, everybody under the sun has told you, by all means,
live your life with this idiot.
We're out.
You and I, at the bros and shows, we're out.
I'm done.
We're out.
I don't care.
If this is what you want to do, this is what you want to do.
But we get to a very cute little double date.
We got Michaels and Preston, and then we got Lake and Shelby.
And Shelby is Lake's friend.
They grew up together.
They've been intimate with one another.
She describes that friendship as a best friendship with benefits and says that she
kind of had her sexual awakening with Shelby.
So it's this very, very unique, very important relationship in her life.
And we also learn that she goes through phases.
Like another part of her being over Brad is she's like, I'm in a girl phase right now.
So like, see you later, Brad.
Yeah, I actually like that where she's like, yeah, you know what?
I'm just kind of over dudes right now.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah, great.
Awesome.
Oh, it makes sense.
Dude's stuck.
We're fucking gross.
I totally get it.
Yeah, we're awful.
So, yeah, do you?
I thought this was a cool scene.
I mean, on one end, you have, we've watched Michael's journey.
Obviously, he came out.
He had a hard time in Charleston with the dating scene.
He's met this dude Preston.
They face timed every day when he was in Vegas.
They have that, like, super cute little smooch with, like, they seem really happy together.
So it's really, it's been fun to watch this progression of him finding somebody.
after what he's gone through in Charleston.
And you put that next to Lake, who's kind of at this weird crossroads where she starts
talking about a relationship with her dad, as we know, a super successful family,
Southern family, religious family.
So she's very concerned about telling him.
And that's what Michael's asks, like, how much does your dad know?
And they're like, ooh, nothing.
Like, I don't know how to tell him.
And she's more concerned about losing the relationship with her father.
than she is about letting him know who she really is.
And I think it's cool because you have somebody in Michaels
who has just taken such a major step in this journey, right?
And he's feeling like he's in a better place now,
but he went through the same struggle with his own mom.
He's still going through the struggle with his mom.
So if there's anybody that can speak on this topic
to resonate with Lake, it's Michael's.
And I thought he did a really good job
because I feel like this is an easy topic to sugarcoat
and dance around a little bit.
He wasn't mean about it, but he was very forward.
Like, there's going to be a day where you're going to have to have this conversation
because at the end of the day, you're going to lose a part of yourself if you're not
honest about who you are.
And I was like, that's really well said.
I just thought it was a cool scene to watch him kind of work her through it a little bit
and the fact that she was like open to it, still apprehensive about it, obviously.
I just thought it was a cool scene.
Yeah, I think it was a perfectly done scene.
I thought that the setup to it throughout the entire season, obviously hearing Michael's back
story, you could see what his reaction was when Lake started to talk about it.
And she talked about how, you know, her and her dad just kind of avoid conversations like
that.
And he, you know, I wouldn't blame him if he got jealous at some point where he's like, oh,
like, I didn't have that opportunity.
I didn't have the opportunity to just kind of avoid it.
I came out and my parents are, you know, treating me differently because of that.
What is his stepdad just kind of like acts like it's not a thing, right?
Yeah.
And his mom is just like anti.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty much the sum of it.
But I think it's incredible, too, because we have looked at the two of them.
They're obviously newcomers to the show.
They're the same age.
Michaels is somehow 21 going on 45.
He has such a great head on him.
He knows what's going on.
He has all these experiences.
He's worldly.
He's hardworking.
He's driven.
He's all of these things.
And he's still able to eloquently talk to Lake about this.
And obviously, it's a common issue.
It's a common thing that they're both going to go through.
And he's giving her advice.
not a, well, you know, you're going to have to get used to this.
You're going to have to do that.
You're going to have to do this.
He's telling her what to look out for.
And again, they're at the same age.
And that's just, it just sums it up perfectly because we've said this all season,
looking at the two of them, watching Lake and Vegas get drunk and just be like,
fuck it.
Let's talk about Will's cheating allegations.
It's like, God damn it.
But you have Michael's over there who's worried about work back home.
He's reading where about Republic in Vegas.
He's worried about Republic.
So it's just funny to watch the two of them side by side.
But also, this is just really.
nice, it's really sweet because he's doing it from a way of like, I care about you.
And I want you to be able to have this opportunity to think about things a little differently.
Like, hey, just have your head on a swivel.
Make sure that you're not caught off guard by these things because they will probably pop up and I've had to deal with them.
I'd rather you have a better grasp of what's going on because I didn't have that.
And I love it.
Yeah, it feels like he would rather her take the initiative and initiate this whole thing on her own terms so that you.
she can come away from it with hopefully the best experience but yeah excuse me yeah i think that
his mentorship through this is is something that's it's special to have for somebody in lake
shoes um but let's get to republic for the main event it's sir weiner's time and immediately
immediately this fucking dick this blonde-haired bitch from law school wants to take a shot i know what he was
doing he walks up and he goes those hot dogs for the martinis that's fucking genius all right
the whole party is about hot dogs so yeah let's stick some hot dog garnishes in a fucking
martini why not that makes total sense it's the theme and there's no fucking way i'm sorry
there's absolutely no way if you're lit on martini's and you take a bite of a hot dog
that you're going to be in a bad mood okay and then to go further and i take issue
this as a lifer in baseball okay yeah that's really doesn't be off don't you dare don't you
fucking dare shit on hot dogs and call them the lowest tier of sausage you sir are the lowest
tier of sausage hot dogs are an all-timer there is never a time that i've had a hot dog and been
sad every single time i've eaten a hot dog even if i'm in a bad mood it has made me feel better
If I have a foot long hot dog, I'm elated.
Do I feel better afterwards?
No, I have to take a shit.
But that's irrelevant.
Dollar Dog Night, I have so many great memories from Dollar Dog Night and those fuckers took it away.
And now this dickhead wants to disparage hot dogs.
We should play Will.
It is Will's fault.
Don't you come in here shitting on hot dogs, especially, bro.
My personal feelings aside, this is about fucking hot dogs.
dogs for your boy fake it is he in there no he's not you don't fucking like him no he walks in
there and he's better than the hot dog martini he's better than sir weeners then go back to law
school and leave everybody alone they're better off with not just on their parade you know what i mean
and the other part is everybody already hates you what are you going to do this for what are you
we're just going to hate you now now we didn't like you but now we hate you that's how this works
you take a shot of hot dogs you better not miss and you miss big time buddy you will
You fucking whiffed.
All right.
The Dodger dog.
I hate the Dodgers.
I love a Dodger dog.
Oh, yeah.
Any hot dog.
I've had motherfucking hot dog sushi.
Is it a corn dog just cut up with ketchup on it?
Yes, it is.
But it made me feel more elegant.
I eat with chopsticks.
You're goddamn right.
I did.
And I would do it again.
I knew you did.
I know you knew that.
You see, you know?
I do more of a sort of like a mouth vacuum.
Just kind of like hover over my plate and like, yeah.
You know what the move is actually?
This is an all-storm.
It's so not good.
Here's the move, all right?
And people don't know this move.
This is the move, especially if you're eating a dog at a game
and you know it like you have to carry the thing
and then you put the ketchup and mustard on top
and then it gets on your tray
and then you inevitably get it on your hand.
Here's the move, everybody.
You pour the ketchup and mustard on top or whatever your toppings may be.
I don't topping, you put whatever you want on that bad boy.
A lot of people shit on mayo on hot dogs.
It's delicious.
Anyway, you put it on top and then you spin the wiener in the bun so that the condiments go to the bottom of the bun.
That's the move.
That's a good move.
Yep.
Just spin the wiener, guys.
Spin the wiener.
Spin the wiener.
And then you don't get condiments anywhere.
No, I just, that came together.
It's the best episode to just be talking about weeners, too.
We can make all the dick jokes we want and nobody will call us immature.
Deb does every time.
You guys always, like, anytime make a dick joke.
Like, grow up.
I'm like, shut up, nerd.
About this episode, built-in dick jokes.
It's Sir Wiener's time.
But anyway, we get a quick check-in with the Bradley's, Joe Bradley, and our boy, Brad.
And they are talking about the fake wedding and just the aftermath of everything and how Joe's feeling.
And, you know, he's got a one-year plan.
The one-year plan is to propose to Maddie soon.
And he's like, well, how long you've been dating?
He's like, four months.
It's like, all right, well, whatever quantum physics you're doing to get to a year,
it has not been a year.
And I think the concern with the whole group is they know how excited he is.
And then the flip side of it, as Brad points out, and he's one million percent, right?
As Maddie's becoming more successful, we saw her in Vegas, like she, and we watched,
because she posted on social media and then a lot of people reposted certain things,
her DJ career is actually progressing.
Like she really is booking gigs across the country.
Like she's doing a pretty great job.
So her career is starting to take off a little bit.
Joe has alluded to this already in other episodes.
He's concerned that she's going to, you know,
leave the nest, leave Charleston and leave him there because he's the hometown guy.
He wants to live in Charleston.
He wants to raise a family in Charleston, all that, which is great.
And in his mind that...
You should think, Craig.
you should date Craig
that's a good idea you guys can hang on his back going
that works perfectly that does make a lot of sense
so yeah maybe you look into that but
his whole thing is that engagement ring
makes him feel more secure
but what he's not recognizing
is that while he's talking about these things
and potentially jumping the gun
it is screaming insecure
bringing up the wedding all of these other things
and we know what you're doing and I know that you're trying to just you want that feeling of
okay we're okay and that's a beautiful thing and I get that but at the same time just a little
you know what I mean just pump the brakes ever so slightly like she's she's a great sport she's
not making him feel like he's overdoing it but just ever so slightly tap the brain just a couple
times you know what I'm saying I think it would go a long way if he just kind of like slowed down
a little bit now obviously you know they're still together so it's fine
but I don't think
I was going to save this for the last scene
but I'll just talk about it now
after Maddie went through
that whole thing with Trevor
I think that she's in such a weird place
and like yes it did result in you and Joe
finally coming together
finally dating it works so well for Joe
Joe has been after you for years
you guys were best friends you still
are best friends you're dating now
but you have to understand for Maddie
at least from Joe's perspective
you have to understand you've got to give her a little bit of time
a little bit of space to like figure it
And like, yes, everything's great, but there is, and I'm not saying that he's love bombing her,
but like, you guys are in the honeymoon phase.
Let's let this thing time out.
Make sure everything's all good.
Everything's all hunky dory before you start talking about those next steps.
You can't be worried about this because I'll tell you right now, if this show is still booming
for the next four or five years, you have four or five years until Maddie is going to consider
moving out.
She's not going to leave this show.
She's a main component of a huge show on Bravo that's only getting better every year.
We can't have her.
She needs to stay.
It's just too good.
I don't care how often she has to go travel for DJ work.
She has to stay on the show.
Don't you fuck up this show?
Yeah, don't you dare.
So you have that built in.
You don't have to worry about her running away and doing stuff.
Like, yeah, she's going to be traveling.
But as you say, you want to go travel with her.
So go ahead and do that.
That's fine.
But eventually things will even out.
You won't go with her as much.
You'll be able to let go ahead and do that.
You'll be able to trust her.
You're not going to worry about it.
You're going to be secure in your relationship.
You just need to pump the brakes right now.
Just tap them breaks, big guy.
Just ever so slightly.
Yep.

Join me, Meg Bashwinner, and fellow tri-hosts, Hal Lublin and Symphony Sanders,
as we dissect all of the cool, squishy, and slimy bits of every episode of Welcome to Nightvale.
Come for the insightful and hilarious commentary and stay for all of the weird and wild behind-the-scenes stories.
Good morning, Night Vale, with new episodes every other Thursday.
Get it wherever you get your podcasts.
Yes, even there.
T.J. and Leva sit down, and we cut to her.
her confessional and she's like you know in all honesty i didn't fully get it didn't understand
the premise that being said we know yeah because the first of that first was extraordinarily
condescending from her like you were you were mansplating hot dogs yeah like what do you understand
how the food and bed business works yeah are you sure you but it was almost like oh good for you
you bought a hot dog card it's like that's not nice but but she gives him his flour
or she's like, this is really impressive.
Like, she really thinks that he's on to something.
And he is.
I mean, we get to this scene after that and it's TJ sitting down with Emmy.
But during that, you know, he talks about like, you can just seeing his smile.
Like, you're like, fuck, yeah, dude.
Like, you did earn this and you did pull it off.
And it was a smashing sex mess.
He should.
I was fucking proud.
I mean, I know the guy.
Like, I was proud of him.
It's like, you sold 100 tickets at the door.
He made his money back for the most part.
Like, he almost broke even, which is unheard of.
in your first event.
You could tell people there
were having fun,
which is even better
because you know that pisses off
Will that it actually worked out.
This dude's trying to
show your hot dogs.
That's like a little cherry on top.
But yeah,
I thought it was cool
because it was more than the event,
more than the hot dog cart.
This is a moment
where he bent on himself.
He put a lot of work in.
He got it all together.
It worked out.
You can tell he's got this new pep in his step
and you just see him kind of come
into his own a little bit.
I think that's something that's been missing with TJ
over the past few seasons is him trying to find that maybe
and who would have thunk it would have been a hot dog cart called Sir Wieners
but fuck yeah dude like it was it was a cool moment to watch him like
just get that confidence at the end of it all I was like fuck yeah we got to see like
the sense of relief kind of come over his face yeah exactly everything went well
we got to see all the angles we got to see him very anxious beforehand
worried that it wasn't going to work out of course it was going to work out but you know
what you can't let that doubt slip into your mind you got to just keep pushing forward and he
earned it and it was nice to see at the afterward and nobody deserves anything more at this point
after watching all of that watching hearing his backstory working you know front back management
whatever he's been doing for food in bed for 10 years finally finding something random weird
niche that just works out and it's something that you're going to be creative with with all your
merch out there it's great i love to see it no it's it's really cool but he sits down with emmy
and obviously they've been you know this sucked man but obviously they're tight they've always been
tight so the hot dog party itself she shows up wearing a hot dog costume that meant a lot to him
she's there to support she makes sure that she emphasizes multiple times that she's there
to support because she's such a good friend what did we talk about uh joe's text like i really
appreciated your text and it was just joe saying hey man pump for today yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey it was I don't know why I thought that was so fucking funny it was
There's the little things man come on now yeah
I don't know why I laugh so hard at that just so funny
That text message made my day so much easier
I was so stressed out but I saw your text
Thanks so much Joe I love that
Because you know they had been rocky and now he's got his boy back
He's texting and I don't know why I found it so funny
No that is fun I mean it's funny because you're expecting like some little
rah-rah speech and it's like dude so pumped clapping hands emoji but tj brings something up to emmy
he's like you know i heard something uh from taylor yesterday and she said that it's all your
and before he could get it out and don't worry i did it again with the nose right there no no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no panic no no no no no no no i knew this is going to come up if you
knew it was going to come up and you know he fucked up you said something stupid because you cut
him off before you even got to it so you know exactly what happened you did blame it all on him
you talk shit to taylor at his event he called you out on it but because he's on top of the
world right now because he's done dealing with your bullshit he's going to sweep this and he should
it's not worth his time because she's only going to deflect and then she's going to have a panic
attack you're going to melt down you're going to storm out of the bar and run over to will then
he's going to pretend that he's nice to her for one night and then you're going to go back to
hitting on her. So it was correct to sweep the sun to the rug.
But her saying immediately, I knew this was going to come up. It's like, then you knew you
fucked up. You wouldn't know it was going to come up if you actually had said it was. She goes,
I just said it was a rough summer. If that was the case, then you wouldn't be worried about
backlash. Yeah. And like you didn't even use an excuse as to why you brought T.J.'s name
You clearly singled him out for some reason. You could have said anything and said, yeah, you know
what, I got a hard time from T. From Michael's, from whoever, whatever, whatever, whatever, which is
just factual. And you could say, yeah, you know what, Taylor didn't know the whole story.
And I guess she just came back to you and said that. But like, it's nothing that you didn't know.
She didn't use any of those excuses. She just acted like she didn't say any of it. And this is just
what happens now and what we've been watching over the last season and a half of Emmy. She's spiraling
so much that she's doing shit and talking to other people. Taylor is very close to TJ.
Taylor's probably closer to TJ than Emmy is. So why would you do that? That's just such a dumb move.
And that just shows me, you're not thinking. You are spiraling so.
far that you can't even realize or comprehend, hey, maybe I shouldn't be talking shit on
T.J. at his Sir Wiener's party, which is a big deal for him to his close friends that basically
lived with him for a while. Probably not the best idea. Probably not. And the fact that,
like you said, you walked out of that party saying, ah, I guess that might get back to T.J. Maybe I should
get ahead of it. You didn't even get ahead of it because T.J. asked you the next day and you just cut
him off and said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, no. In what world do you think
that anybody's going to believe you, the way that you've been acting? So it's just,
it, I used to say, it's, it's tough to watch, it's brutal, it's whatever I feel bad for
anymore. It's just stupid. It's just really dumb. It just is, period. I don't care. I don't
care. And I was expecting, I was expecting the confessional from her. Yeah, she's like,
I'm just saying what he wants me to hear. I'm like, that's fucking mean, because he's trying.
He's making an effort to bridge the gap after he did nothing wrong but tried to be a good friend.
You're claiming that you're a good friend by putting all this bullshit aside to support him.
He was a good friend.
All of your friends are good friends.
Your boyfriend is a bad friend.
You are a bad friend, especially to go to this confessional and pretty much explain your own behavior.
Yep.
But put it on TJ.
He's a ticking time bomb.
He's, if you piss him, he's going to say anything, I'm like, that's you.
And how do you not have the foresight to realize, hey, I'm saying some pretty fucked
up shit in this confessional that he's going to see at some point. Do you want any friends?
Like, we know Will doesn't care. Will doesn't want you to have friends. He definitely doesn't
want you to have friends. You're alienating yourself even further. If you were just like a sympathetic
character at this point and going to your confessionals and being delusional and being upset and
crying about all the shit that you're going through, people might still look at you and say,
wow, I feel really bad for her. But if you start turning and you're being mean to people who
are just trying to support you, you're going to lose all of your friends. And you're going to
me in such a worse place when will cheats on you and breaks up with you so have fun sorry i
mean yeah hey perfectly said them's the rules them's the rules we don't make and we just follow
them but let's get to mattie and her mom because i mean we got a quick scene with joey bottle just
giving him a fist bump like how do you dude you inspired me and that's when he goes through his
hundred tickets already talked about all that but we get to mattie mattie's mom mattie's mom's a good
a good mom she's a good mom very good because they're there chit chatting about everything and
she's like oh i got fake married ha ha and you can tell that set off a little bit and that we
watched mom and dad with joe and we know that they really like um they support this relationship
but she's like little alarm she's like okay whoa whoa like you guys have been dating for five months
this is pretty fast and this scene also showed me how into it mattie is because this is an easy
moment for her to be like, I know, like, it's a lot.
And she's like, no, mom, like, I'm really into Joe.
I do see this as a future.
It's all good stuff.
It's like, yeah, okay, great, Maddie.
But this next little part, I was like, this is my favorite.
I love this shit because she's talking to her.
And this is something I want to impart on my daughters and something that my mom
imparts on my sisters, like, you need to have your own thing.
Like, you can have your relationship, but it's so important in a healthy relationship that
you have your own thing.
And I love that Maddie's like, I want to get in my own house.
I want to do my own thing.
I never have to rely on anybody else.
I think that's so fucking awesome.
That's why I respect Dev so much.
Like, it's so fucking cool to me that she's such a strong independent woman.
And like, again, that's what I want my daughters to be like.
So hearing that, I love that, hearing her mom impart that in her and reiterate that.
Brownie points in the middle of a podcast.
I wouldn't you were trying to.
I praise Dev all the time on here.
I'm just saying genuinely.
Like, it's just something that I think is.
so cool and to like hear that from mom to be like yeah dude this is great but like you got a lot
of cool shit going on so let's focus on you mattie reiterating you're right i want to focus on me
but not disparaging the relationship of what she feels for joe i'm like this is good this is good
stuff this is constructive i hope joey takes it well i hope that this next scene isn't isn't negative
because i knew what it was building up to is like yeah jo's going to come into the house so like
hopefully this is all handled well i'll give it like a six
on what scale what's the scale
out of 10
no for what though
how Joe handled it
this next scene
so 10 being good
yeah
did I go too high
yeah I think he went a little too high
I think he padicked a little bit
I don't know it's look
I know a lot of people that go on Zillow
and they're just looking at homes people do it all the time
you see a house it has it every day
we're not moving anytime soon
but you pass a house in the street
you're like oh that's a cool house i wonder how much it was and then you go down a rabbit hole and you're
looking in other places that could be partially what she's doing i don't think she's going to buy a
house right now she's talking about like investing in real estate she likes living with their girlfriends
and this is what i talked about earlier with the whole trevor thing she's still reeling from that she's
in a really good place she loves joe she loves their relationship she knows that he's going to support
her but she does need a little bit of time to kind of get back to normal and after all the
The shit to Trevor put her through where everybody's like, what are you doing?
She moved in with them.
He cheated on her a bunch of times.
He's a fucking bike taxi dude from Philadelphia, which is brutal for us.
No, no, no, no.
He's from the main line.
Okay.
Okay.
Don't you fucking do that.
But still, it's just you have to give her some time.
And like, I got that.
Everything that she was saying made total sense to me.
She likes living with her girlfriends.
She enjoys her life right now.
And yeah, I get it that you're a little upset with Joe.
She enjoys your relationship.
She likes where she was.
she's at with him right now yeah that's important to note as well but joe saying he starts talking about
like he has to take an uber there every day of the week all right like i'm not going to tell you that you
don't have to sleep with your girlfriend seven days a week six days a week whatever it might be but you don't
have to you know if it gets a little too cumbersome you don't have to or here's an idea
dude yeah dude like he says those ubers like save up for three weeks and put a down payment on a car
bro what when she was talking about she's talking about like yeah you know i'm thinking about buying a house
And like, obviously, at some point, I'm going to have to figure it out.
Like, I'll live on my own or I'll live with you, whatever it might be.
But, like, right now I'd like living with the girlfriends.
He goes, I have some money saved up.
Like, we could do this.
And it's like, ugh.
You're not too fast.
Again, putting down, Joe.
Also, instead of investing that money into a house, go buy a car, Joe.
Get a car so you can drive over there.
Junker.
Like, who cares going Craigslist and buy one?
Just don't buy a Bronco from a trailer park in Bradenton for $1,000 cash because the battery
might catch on fire while you're driving.
Yeah, that's good advice to everybody that has impacted.
Just guilty.
Guilty.
I love that truck, too.
Two months.
I had that bad boy.
Two months.
The battery did catch on fire.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
All right, B.
All right, B.
But Maddie makes good points during this, too.
And that's why I liked how she handled this whole thing because she could have gone a few
different ways all would have been justified she could have just totally like shut him down
and like do get the fuck out of here like i don't need this right now she would have been justified
but she handled it great because she's she's understanding where he's coming from but she also has
really good retorts to be like do you remember when i moved in with trevor how much shit you gave me
and joe's like well yeah but she's like yeah that was after a year and a half of dating we've been
dating for four months and she's like and you have no idea what it's like and this is true yeah
I agree with Joe, though.
I kind of agree with Joe on this with the Trevor thing.
Like, it is very different with Trevor.
That wasn't a, you're moving too fast.
That is a, this guy's a scumbag and you shouldn't trust him.
Why would you move in with him?
I agree.
But the other side of this is what Maddie says is something that Joe doesn't have to worry
about and dudes in general don't have to worry about.
It's like Maddie going, you don't know what it's like to make a decision and have
everybody questioned that decision around you and tell it to you as you're making that decision.
That's something Joe wouldn't have to deal with.
And I guarantee you if she moved in with Joe after four months, she would hear about it from
her friends.
She would hear about it from her parents.
It's just too fast.
And I don't like that he took it.
Like, well, don't ever compare me to him.
It's like, she's not comparing you to Trevor.
She's telling you this is the situation I just got out of.
It was pretty heavy, pretty traumatic.
I'm working through it.
And I don't want to move too quickly and make a mistake for myself because I'm thinking
about me and my life that you want to be a part of so in this instance hear me don't take it
personally because she's not breaking up with you she's laying down boundaries that she's comfortable
with and she's using past experiences to explain it she's not saying that you're Trevor
nobody thinks you're Trevor we're all aware you're not Trevor Trevor was the worst so my that's
my point like he's he's taking it personally and I understand he's putting himself out there a little
bit he was a little insecure about the whole thing yeah he's he's a lot of
insecure about the whole thing. But her responses should give him some confidence. She's not
overreacting to it. She's not acting like it's the end of the world. She's not like, dude,
whoa, way too much. She's actually entertaining it. She's like, just fucking give me a minute.
I'll make, yeah, you deserve a minute. Joe, she loves you. She's in. Fucking breathe, dude,
give her, like, give her a little while. Are you going to be like, okay with me? Like, do you want
to sleep with me like six, seven days a week? And she takes.
like a slight hesitation.
She was joking.
She smirked.
Okay.
Yeah, I know.
And he didn't catch it.
He's like, really wish that took too long.
I've answered that.
Yeah, right?
That took way too long.
It's like, no.
And he's like, well, yeah, you know what?
You are my wife.
And I love that he slipped another wife joke in there.
It's like, dude, this is like, and it's again, I think that like when they're fighting and
obviously, you know, maybe for them, it's not funny.
But when they're fighting, like you said, I think the way that Maddie's responding, it's
obviously like affirmative.
it's it's showing him some sort of support saying that she's not going anywhere just hold up
everything's fine but it's just so funny when they do fight because i because i know everything's
going to be okay with them i think it's just so funny the way that he approaches things the fact that
he even had anywhere withal to throw a wife joke in there at the end and he was serious again
but it's still just so funny to me he's still doing it like you just get stuck on it he's like yeah
you're my wife now i mean we have to sleep together i mean yeah i mean if you don't
me in the house you had fucking divorce you heard you heard Elvis he told us we had to
sleep together I'm just falling our fouls babe they're gonna be those crazy kids
they're gonna be all right yeah let's get some questions uh from chanler randler
does will's hatred for hot dogs reinforce the fact that he's the devil yes 1,000
percent I love how many people in here took that the same way we did from jlin D
six nine three is will's biggest red flag hatred of hot dogs yes it is and a follow-up also how would
the bros rank sausage foods ooh what are we let's pick like uh a brought worst brought worst
hot dog um hot dog uh you do like a sausage sandwich yeah let's do like a sausage and peppers
sausage and peppers oh that i'm going to do one more um
breakfast sausage yeah i like that um i'm gonna i'm gonna go hot dog sausage and peppers
brought worst breakfast sausage mine is so close because i love i love sausage yeah i'm going hot dog
brought worse very closely followed i mean like a centimeter behind that is breakfast
sausage yeah and then sausage and peppers but they're all
in the nice
And the only reason
that I didn't put breakfast
sausage higher
is because I do prefer
bacon or pork roll
over breakfast sausage
Maybe it's because like
my Texas in me
Like it's more sausage down there
We go sausage before we go bacon
A lot of the time
At least where I grew up
So I love like
Fucking biscuits and gravy
With a sausage patty
Like fuck me up
But yeah
I'm big sausage fan
Big weeder guy
I had to get another weiner joke
in there before this thing ends
from mac oh go ahead you go ahead oh i will go ahead from stevie mac what are your thoughts on
the theory that emmy is bad shit because of steroids whoa um no no she is not taking steroids um i can
i think she's that shit because her boyfriend's an asshole and he's gaslighting her in she's not
on craziness she's definitely not on steroids that's not what steroids do uh from my underscore ellie dog
Who made you cringe the most this week?
Jesse Solomon, Joey Bottles, Emmy, or Shep?
I mean, Emmy.
She helped bad for her.
Emmy is more just like, she's an outlier at this point.
Yeah, because we just know what to expect.
Jesse.
I'm going to say Jesse.
Jesse.
Jesse was tough to watch.
Yeah, that's really tough.
And Joey, we'll just level with it.
We know Joey too well to take that shit seriously.
It just made us laugh and cringe.
And then Shep, yeah, Shep, you just can't, even though he deserved it.
It's just, that was so hard to watch.
Yeah, it's so bad.
Last one from Destiny Mitchell.
If Emmy's sister got a confessional, what do you think she would say after their lunch?
She'd probably just look at the camera and make a like a gym from the office face.
Yeah.
And I don't think that she would like actively, verbally trash her sister in a confessional.
But I think that she would probably flash a look at the camera that made everything make sense.
And she was already doing that at lunch.
So.
Yeah, I think you'd get one more, one more gym from the office, Glenn.
and that would be the end of her confession.
That's all you need.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She had a better grasp on the whole situation than her sister.
And she'll get it when you're older.
I'm losing my mind.
But this show is awesome.
It rocks.
Yeah, it's so good.
Love talking about it.
So, so good.
But that's all I got.
You got anything else?
I do not.
Well, that's our show.
bro's got to go.
