Bros & Shows - Ask Me About My Weiner (Southern Hospitality Full Recap)

Episode Date: February 25, 2025

What'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...

Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:22 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.

Starting point is 00:01:49 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.
Starting point is 00:02:06 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
Starting point is 00:02:37 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
Starting point is 00:03:13 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
Starting point is 00:03:55 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.
Starting point is 00:04:27 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.
Starting point is 00:04:37 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
Starting point is 00:05:03 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.
Starting point is 00:05:17 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.
Starting point is 00:05:39 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.
Starting point is 00:05:56 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.
Starting point is 00:06:14 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
Starting point is 00:06:32 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.
Starting point is 00:06:47 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.
Starting point is 00:07:00 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.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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.
Starting point is 00:07:36 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.
Starting point is 00:07:57 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,
Starting point is 00:08:09 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.
Starting point is 00:08:19 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.
Starting point is 00:08:36 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?
Starting point is 00:08:52 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.
Starting point is 00:09:15 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?
Starting point is 00:09:31 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.
Starting point is 00:09:47 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.
Starting point is 00:10:06 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.
Starting point is 00:10:26 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.
Starting point is 00:10:46 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
Starting point is 00:11:22 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.
Starting point is 00:11:30 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.
Starting point is 00:11:41 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
Starting point is 00:12:20 I'm going to talk about it right now because a hot dog cart right implies mobile I can roll cart yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:12:34 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
Starting point is 00:12:46 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.
Starting point is 00:13:03 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
Starting point is 00:13:37 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.
Starting point is 00:14:00 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
Starting point is 00:14:24 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
Starting point is 00:15:02 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
Starting point is 00:15:38 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
Starting point is 00:16:16 Like, come on. It's just so soft. The whole thing, it's stupid. It's so soft. With Amex Platinum, access to exclusive Amex pre-sale tickets can score you a spot trackside.

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
Starting point is 00:18:21 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
Starting point is 00:19:03 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
Starting point is 00:19:40 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.
Starting point is 00:20:20 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.
Starting point is 00:20:48 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.
Starting point is 00:21:02 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.
Starting point is 00:21:19 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
Starting point is 00:21:50 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
Starting point is 00:22:35 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.
Starting point is 00:22:57 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.
Starting point is 00:23:40 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
Starting point is 00:24:02 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.
Starting point is 00:24:12 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?
Starting point is 00:24:33 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.
Starting point is 00:24:59 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
Starting point is 00:25:20 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.
Starting point is 00:25:44 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.
Starting point is 00:25:58 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
Starting point is 00:26:22 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.
Starting point is 00:26:50 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.
Starting point is 00:27:09 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.
Starting point is 00:27:25 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.
Starting point is 00:27:44 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?
Starting point is 00:27:56 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
Starting point is 00:28:30 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,
Starting point is 00:29:11 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.
Starting point is 00:29:25 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.
Starting point is 00:29:50 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.
Starting point is 00:30:02 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.
Starting point is 00:30:15 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,
Starting point is 00:30:41 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
Starting point is 00:31:05 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
Starting point is 00:31:26 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.
Starting point is 00:31:51 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.
Starting point is 00:32:14 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.
Starting point is 00:32:34 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.
Starting point is 00:32:47 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.
Starting point is 00:33:02 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.
Starting point is 00:33:17 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.
Starting point is 00:33:39 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
Starting point is 00:34:27 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
Starting point is 00:35:21 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.
Starting point is 00:35:45 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
Starting point is 00:36:24 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.
Starting point is 00:36:35 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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.
Starting point is 00:37:03 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.
Starting point is 00:37:18 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.
Starting point is 00:37:39 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.
Starting point is 00:37:56 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.
Starting point is 00:38:17 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,
Starting point is 00:38:46 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.
Starting point is 00:39:11 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
Starting point is 00:39:30 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
Starting point is 00:39:52 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
Starting point is 00:40:23 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
Starting point is 00:40:39 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.
Starting point is 00:40:56 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.
Starting point is 00:41:18 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.
Starting point is 00:41:32 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.
Starting point is 00:41:44 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. The white chocolate macadamia cream cold brew from Starbucks is made just the way you like it. Handcrafted cold foam topped with toasted cookie crumble.
Starting point is 00:42:02 It's a sweet summer twist on iced coffee. Your cold brew is ready at Starbucks. I'm Amy Nicholson, the film critic for the LA Times.

Welcome to Night Vale's official recap show and unofficial best friend food podcast. Join me, Meg Bashwinner, and fellow tri-hosts, Hal Lublin and Symphony Sanders,
Starting point is 00:42:54 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
Starting point is 00:43:28 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.
Starting point is 00:44:02 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.
Starting point is 00:44:13 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.
Starting point is 00:44:25 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
Starting point is 00:44:37 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
Starting point is 00:44:49 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
Starting point is 00:45:20 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
Starting point is 00:46:05 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
Starting point is 00:46:35 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
Starting point is 00:47:18 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
Starting point is 00:47:51 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
Starting point is 00:48:25 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
Starting point is 00:49:06 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.
Starting point is 00:49:44 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.
Starting point is 00:50:02 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
Starting point is 00:50:36 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
Starting point is 00:51:18 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.
Starting point is 00:51:48 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.
Starting point is 00:52:10 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.
Starting point is 00:52:30 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
Starting point is 00:53:01 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
Starting point is 00:53:19 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
Starting point is 00:53:35 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?
Starting point is 00:54:08 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.
Starting point is 00:54:21 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.
Starting point is 00:54:34 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.
Starting point is 00:55:09 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.
Starting point is 00:55:24 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.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Two months. I had that bad boy. Two months. The battery did catch on fire. Oh, boy. Yeah. All right, B. All right, B.
Starting point is 00:55:55 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
Starting point is 00:56:30 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
Starting point is 00:56:51 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.
Starting point is 00:57:14 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
Starting point is 00:57:36 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.
Starting point is 00:58:14 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.
Starting point is 00:58:35 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.
Starting point is 00:58:43 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
Starting point is 00:59:14 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
Starting point is 00:59:59 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
Starting point is 01:00:58 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
Starting point is 01:01:07 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
Starting point is 01:01:19 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
Starting point is 01:01:45 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.
Starting point is 01:02:10 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.
Starting point is 01:02:24 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.
Starting point is 01:02:48 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.
Starting point is 01:03:01 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.
