Bros & Shows - Double Yachts, Double Standards and Dr. Nicole. (RHOM Full Recap)

Episode Date: August 5, 2025

What's up Bros? Miami is having a great season. But there is one thing looming that could derail this whole show. The lack of empathy and the double standards we're witnessing are crazy. Guerdy is being held to an entirely different standard than the rest of the ladies. In this episode, the group is headed out on a yacht for the evening. Before we get there, Dr Nichol makes an appearance and her presence has never been more necessary than it is now. While she didnt agree with everything Guerdy had done, she also didnt isolate her and treat her like the worst person in the group. Stephanie shows off her renovations to Larsa. The boats are divided by who is getting along and who isn't. Adriana doesn't care about being on the other boat, she gets lit and hollers across the water to make sure Marysol can hear her. Stephanie and Alexia butt heads again. After a "game" of say something nice, Julia and Guerdy have a discussion but it's quickly interrupted by Marysol and Alexia acting as though what Guerdy did was unforgivable. Conveniently forgetting she just had a drink tossed in her face? It's pretty insane to watch and we stand firm on TEAM GUERDY! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Thanks, bud. you thanks kiddo this is a great cold opener there's nothing wrong with this at all can you hear all that yeah it's just wholesome so let's do miami now bros and shows bros and shows ros and shows i gotta have me my bros and shows i gotta have me my bros and shows good morning everybody welcome back to another episode of pros and shows

i'm your co-host steel russell joined as always by the ever-fabulous megeats what's up dude God, I just love going to Miami. There's just nothing better. A little yacht action, a lot of things going on, just fun things for the most part. This was a much more fun episode where we don't have to talk about, well, kind of, but we don't really have to get into what the fuck is going on? Why does everybody dislike Gertie? It's more, hey, look at Adriana, which I've done a full 180 on Adriana.

I think she's so fucking funny. I think she's hilarious because of the way that everybody else is acting on the cast. when I see her pop up, I don't care how drunk she gets on this yacht. It's hilarious. I wholeheartedly agree. I think she is a delight to watch. It's like because I no longer take her that seriously, I think it's starting to, you've said multiple times, especially when we watch like Southern Charm,

you have to watch it through a certain lens. Yeah. That's what you have to do with Adriana. You have to watch her through a certain lens. And then she becomes very entertaining. And she has been good this season. And it's like, this is the first full-bore, Adriana that we've gotten. Like, we've gotten hints of her throughout the season.

Like, this was, like, full throttle. But I think it was almost needed because of what's going on with the show. And I agree with the gertie thing to a certain extent. I thought Julia, I thought the things that she said this episode were possibly the worst. And I'll get into it when we get there. But as far as, like, the rest of the cast, Alexia and Marisol, I hate how they handled the whole thing as well. I just,

at the end of the day, I feel bad for Gertie. I'm trying to wrap my head around what could possibly be going on. And I think it's more and more obvious that it's what we discussed a couple of weeks ago. And again, I'll wait to get into all that.

But overall, like, if you remove that part, like the show is great. And this cast is great. Adriana is nailing it. Lisa is delightful this season. Who'd have thought? Stephanie is bringing it as a newbie.

She is at the point now where, the flaunting of the wealth, I'm in. I like it. I like what she's doing. I like that we're walking around her house and she's getting irritated at Lisa for not paying attention to the house tour. Like, I'm in. So I think that we've got a great cast here. I think that it's going to, it's going to be interesting to see how the conflict goes because I don't know if it's going to be entertaining or if we're just going to have a divide now in the group where it's like, okay, there's too much happening.

I think if I had a guess and this this is a very interesting show because you know aside from all the gertie stuff we talked about Julia and Adriana and specifically Julia moving closer and closer to Alexia and Marisol it's almost like we guessed a plot twist from a real scripted show and today's episode that we're covering right now kind of confirmed that and Julia says it in so many ways she goes to a confessional talking about how Adriana feels some type of way because I'm getting close to it. her with Alexia Marisol. It's like, yeah, we called it. We called it in episode one. We figured that was going to happen. So that was kind of gratifying. It's like, oh, wow, that's awesome. So happy that we read into that.

Not that it was super difficult to read into. But at the same time, it's just nice to get that confirmation. But also what it shows is that Julia does understand what's going on. She's able to call that out. But yet when she sits down with Gertie in all of these scenes that we've seen this season, she's so delusional. She's so easy to just like dismiss whatever Gertie's going through and just choose herself over everybody else because of what she's doing with Alexia Marisol.

So I do think that we're on a good track, if you will, for this season because I do think that the Alexia Stephanie stuff is going to be funny because of the way that Alexia is responding to all of these things. I think we've got a pretty good Larsa right now. She's not like completely off her rocker at this point. And I think that everybody else is kind of bringing it. We're getting more Kiki. We're getting more.

Adriana is getting involved and she's not being annoying because I think it's really just, I agree with what she's saying. And I like what she's doing because it's just like it's not that deep. And it's just her being fucking drunk and funny. So I'm here for it. I think it's still going to be a really good season. And I don't really, you know, obviously the Gertie stuff aside, I think the rest of it can be very, very entertaining.

I agree. And I think that's like also why Adrienne is playing is because the garty stuff I really don't like. It's getting gross. But we see her kind of, she's gravitating towards. Gertie. She's being a great Gertie friend and it's giving her an excuse to be full Adriana to the other women in the group because she's doing it on behalf of Gertie, but in reality, she's just doing it for herself. But I'm still here for it.

She's doing it because of Alexia and Marisol. That's the driving force of her whole life is sticking it to those two because she still wants to be friends with them and they don't want to be friends with her. That drives Adriana, literally. That's like her whole being is those two. But let's jump into this episode. We start out. out with Martina and Julia Boo talking about their boys. But the main topic of conversation here is Gertie, once again. And she discusses Adriana after the event the other night where she was like, well, just go to Gertie and talk to her and, you know, listen to her side.

There's two sides. Adrianna was very reasonable, I thought. I thought so. That's the funny part. But that's when it's funnier because you look at Adriana, it's like, she is being a good friend yes but there's selfish intention here when it comes to there is there a thousand percent is she only wants julia to go back inside because she feels a type of way towards julia she feels like she's been distant she's been moving away from her she's been

neglecting their friendship here's an opportunity like i'm not fully saying that gerty was right but i'm also not fully defending you and going to go home with you i want you guys to sit down and talk together because maybe some of that will come out and I'll be able to point to a couple of things that you've been doing to me as well. I think that's what Adriana wants. And I love that. She's coming from a neutral position, but we both know she's not being neutral of this situation. 100%. And there was a moment that we didn't see last week. And I guess nothing really happened with it. Except one thing that Julius says that again, like perked my ears of. I'm like, whoa, because she walked back inside and asked Gertie like, hey, what was the point of that?

Gertie's trying to talk and she says you and points at her. She didn't stick her hand in her face and like poke her in the nose. She was saying you and gesturing with this, the pointing of somebody is you. That's how you say you. And she points at her and she says,

get your fingers away from my face just like you usually do. I'm like, Gertie doesn't get in people's face. No. Gertie doesn't get in people's face and this is starting to paint a picture, a very specific picture that I don't care for, that I'm sure a lot

the audience doesn't care for and it gets hammered home later. Let's bring it up now when they're on the boat and she's talking to Adriana. She's like, well, Gertie's coming later. You know how she is. She's probably going to throw things at me. I'm like, you threw water at her in between claiming that she gets in people's faces, claiming that she is aggressive and throwing things. You're trying to paint her as an angry black woman.

And I think that's fucking gross. And I think it's become so clear now. I don't think there's another way to look at this situation where we're not calling that. out and saying this is this is bad then it looks terrible especially amidst all of this shit with her and martina it's like can you both be like a little less problematic for like a week possibly like between those two comments because again when have we seen gertie get in someone's face never when have we seen her throw they all get in each other's face like i just i hate that she's the one who's being pinhold right now because of how they feel towards her and like you

said yeah they're painting her as an angry black woman she's not doing anything differently than anybody else is. She's actually doing less than what we've seen say Lisa do last year when she was going through all of that shit than what Alexia does season in, season out, then when Larsa does season in, season out. So why is she the one that's being held to a different standard? It's just, it's gross and sickening to even really watch. And I do hope that Julia gets her come up and said, unfortunately, what's going to happen is it's going to start spilling over to the rest of the cast because if people don't speak up and I get, yeah, maybe you're not friends with Gertie, but if you feel any sort of neutral type of way about Gertie, you

or about the situation, you can still see it. You can still step in and be like, all right, enough. Like, is it any different? All I really need as a viewer of this show, when you're not doing anything actively that's agreeing with Julia, if you're somewhere in the middle, I need one of the cast members to just step in and be like, she's not doing anything different than anybody else is.

That simple sentence would go so far with all of us that are watching this because all of us are like, what the fuck? Like, somebody help her. And the only semblance of help that we see, obviously it's Adriana, who's got some selfish intentions. But we see Nicole in this episode who helps a lot. Thank God. Jesus Christ,

her presence is so common. She's great. She's going to come back. The end of that scene was great. She's a thousand percent going to come back. But I understand why she's not there this season. But either way, it's going to get to a point where we start pointing the finger,

and I'm using that very specifically, at everybody else in the cast, saying you have to say something. There has to be a point where you go, yeah, let's look, round real quick. Oh, yeah, there's two black women in this cast. One of them's being painted as an angry black woman. That's not a good look for all of us. It's not a good look for any of us by not saying anything. So somebody's going to have to fucking step up. I don't care who it is,

but somebody has to step up and maybe get a couple more people in line to at least agree with it or at least say, oh, yeah, this is a shitty situation. That's what we need. Otherwise, like I said, it's going to spill over to the rest of the cast and we're just going to feel a little differently about them. Exactly. And, you know, the conversation they have in the boat later on doesn't help in the slightest, but let's keep trucking because you get Stephanie and Larsa and Stephanie showing her new house to Larson. I said Lisa earlier. I meant Larsa. It's this just gargantuan compound that was a, this is so funny. I think I fell in love with Stephanie in this scene. I'm like, this is what we need. Like, this is the level of wealth and pettiness that we need on this show.

because it's this massive house that Massoud and his ex-wife had built together. Massoud wanted to move back into it. And Stephanie was like, okay, fine, but I don't want any semblance of your ex there. We're going to go up the whole fucking place. We're going to move the pool.

We're going to do literally everything. And her excuse to Lars says, I don't want him to turn any corner and be reminded of his ex-wife. I'm like, you don't want to turn any corner and be reminded of his ex-wife. So they're doing a total flip on this massive home And watching her show Larsa around it was hysterical Because Larsa's trying to do

What housewives do As you walk around or as you're doing other things You talk about drama You talk about the group Stephanie doesn't want to do that Stephanie's trying to show her that house And I was like so what did you think? He's like and this is the closet

Larsa Here's the closet It is just kind of funny Because we do get back to back weeks of this Because we did do a tour of Larsa's new house house. And Stephanie was engaged the whole time. She had so many different ideas about what Larsa could do. Get rid of this fucking glass. You're going to have fingerprints all over the place. This closet is a nightmare. How are you going to clean the makeup off of this? That was the closet store.

Why did I think they were. Oh, no, no, no. She's getting. I know, I agree. I've never wanted a container store. You ever been in that place? That place rocks. Places. The container store fucking rocks. I never knew how many containers I needed until I went to the container store. That's one of those places that like I would have loved it's specifically for going to college like you just see all of these damn containers like yeah I need all this stuff give me them all yeah put myself in a place I wonder if they sell coffins in the back that's that's the ultimate container you know what I mean no that is the container going to use the longest you know technically theoretically theoretically your definition of a soul and stuff but uh anyway let's get into the afterlife

hell yeah oh god but no I do love it. But just because we get those two scenes, where Stephanie is so engaged in helping Larsa with her house and she just wants something of the same when she's going through this house, which you and I agree is a great story. It's a hilarious story. It's such a great housewife story who's got a ton of money, does not care. Yeah, she's spending so much more on gutting the whole house than she would on buying the house to begin with, which is hilarious.

And it's just awesome. It's just the type of camp bullshit behavior that we love to find in a housewife show. And that's what Stephanie's bringing. So you can't help but like her. I know that people are still a little unsure about her. But right now, I mean, we like her. Yeah, that's sold me 100% because that's the kind of thing I needed from her to be like, if you're going to be the wealthy person, lean in 100%.

And she's doing that. Go to Canada for date night and come back on a chip. Yeah, all of that shit. And I think that the other part that I will give her credit for is how she's involved with the group because the gertie party comes up with all the texts and everything. her issue isn't really with gertie she's like yeah you know it was it was weird it was uncomfortable what's alexia's fucking problem i'm like hell yeah like point the finger elsewhere because they obviously got into it at the end and she's like does she talk to everybody like that

and it's like yeah pretty much so get used to it and get ready to defend yourself which she's more than capable of doing but heard of someone should have told her and i i hopefully she figured it out she's like i've yet to have a good experience of one of these things like oh you never will you never will yeah you're going to have to do a lot actually you're just going to have to completely lower your expectations and just try to have fun especially if you're that wasn't even really something that she was involved in you could be on the receiving end of something like that you could be in julia's shoes getting your text messages put on blast at one of these parties any day now you just got to make sure that you enjoy the days that you're not in that

position but yeah with the alexia thing i think it's very funny and obviously it's setting up for probably a season-long drama, a season-long beef, it's going to get to that point for sure. And it seems like we're going down the road of Alexia thinks that she's the queen. And I love that Alexia is calling herself that she's so funny. Dude, she's so contradictory. She contradicts herself all the time. And obviously, you know, later we get that scene about the Rottweiler. But in this queen bee stuff, she sets herself up as the queen, but also says, you peg me as the queen, so you're coming after me.

it's like you just said you were the queen no i didn't what are you talking about like that's what we always set up with alexia and i i just love it because we haven't really seen her have to fend for herself she always seems to kind of skirt around skate around marisol's always with her larissa depending on her situation she might be with her so it'll be nice to see i think it's gonna be a fun little setup and i like where we're going with it no i i totally agree and i think that stephanie's the perfect person to go up against her it's like and they referenced it a few times you have two alphas two alphas just button heads and i don't think stephanie's going to give i also don't think he's trying to be nice i think she's trying to goof around to be funny in some situations

and alexie's just not having it because she already has this for whatever whatever reason i don't even know why some predetermined disposition towards her where she's like yeah yeah maybe it's because she's jealous you know i know what it is exactly what her and marisle are both jealous of stephan she did say yeah yeah there was a line later where she's like just go go on with your perfect life with your perfect husband up to canada and have a perfect date night and it's like, whoa, it's a lot of perfect. That's a lot of perfect. Very specific.

I wrote that down. I wish you could do that with Todd, but Todd's got money problems. Yeah, Todd rents everything and you out and rent a PJ like that. Nope, absolutely not. Use the Wheels Up app or whatever. They can sponsor us.

You think we get a free flight if Wheels Up sponsors us? Where do we go? Where do you want to go? Oh, man. I don't know. Somewhere not, we'd probably be like limited. We'd probably have to go from a heater Redding. it's a two minute flight yeah you can use it but you're going to fucking doylestown

how many pictures how many pictures of videos do you think we can take of it like sponsored or not just like look at us live we would take my whole phone would be full of us just posing in front of the PJ and on it and we would use those pictures forever anytime we travel in the future we'll just bring outfit changes on the plane be like up the pros are headed on tour and just use an old picture from the PJ that's reality we've read it a fucking car because we don't want to put the mileage on our own. We rented a van just to drive. But anyway.

that is claimed to have been planned for so long. Looking at the setup for it, I don't think it was planned for it, because Kiki was like, well, let me just make a call real quick. And she's like, hey, ex-boyfriend or whatever, assignment. It's just the dude that she used to hook up with that still gives her free yacht. Because he owns the yacht club in Miami. So he's like, I got a nine, nine person yacht for you, no problem. But originally there was one big yacht and everybody was going to stay on it. Due to some of these splits in the group at the moment, we're doing two boats. I think it's bullshit. I, well, I did until I watched. Like, originally I'm like, come on. You got to get everybody together. Watching Adriana yell from one boat to the other was great.

So it would have gotten that great comedy. No, when I say bullshit, I think they didn't have one big yacht ready. They're just kind of spinning like this. They're like, oh, we have to do it this way. It's like, okay, yeah, sure. It works out fine and it's really funny. I don't know because I feel like Kiki with that phone call she made. I'm like, I think she could take any boat she wants.

This guy seems to be in love with. He's like, yeah, no problem. Absolutely no problem. It'll be there waiting tomorrow morning. She ordered a yacht overnight. How many of them are there? There's like fucking 15 people. It's crazy.

this show is insane four and five i thought i think there's nine uh yeah i guess that kind of checks out i believe i could be wrong i should have like so many people but we have that to look forward to later and we we do a quick check in with alexia peter and frankie alexia's a mom i always enjoy these scenes obviously she's a great mom yeah and the family's been through a whole hell of a lot and they're now living on some island outside of the city renting month to month trying to figure out And, you know, it's nice to hear her say things like this, just a little self-awareness where she's like, I don't know where the fuck my life's going. Like, I don't know where I'm headed.

So for now, we're renting, we're staying here. Peter lives on its own. He comes back and forth. We get more of the Frankie story. Right. He looks great, by the way. He does like he's toned up. Like, he looks strong.

He looked good. Yeah. Well, he does, and they kind of touch on it in this situation. The stomach thing. Yeah. I articulate us. I hope that's not why. I don't think it is, but it isn't.

So what I kind of took from the scene is more his diet has changed. So I think he probably went from, you know, there's probably fatty foods and like different shit that he probably can't have anymore. So he's changed his diet. I think it's obviously it's going to be for the better. And in the long run, it's going to be great. But he does look great. And look, he's always had such good fashion living down in Miami as a kid like that.

Yeah, he's a lot of him to look good. And I'm sure a lot of it's his own doing too. He just looks good. He's a great looking dude. Yep. Love that. And I know Peter's had his whole thing. but watching him in the relationship he has with Frankie.

Like it's just this family, for whatever reason, I like watching their scenes together. It's almost like a separate show entirely. It has nothing to do with the housewives, but it's like their own little thing. But it's just interesting to me. Yeah, Peter, I don't, you know, there's been news about him.

So I don't know if he's a great dude by any means. I didn't say that. I'm sure. No, I know that. Yeah. Well, I was kind of prefacing it for my next comment. I want to hear what he has to say about Todd because I know that dude's got some fucking bad feelings about Todd and I just want him to be open about it.

I know it's asking a lot, but I'm not saying I want like Frankie or say Alexia had like a 12 year old son to hear what he has to say. You can leave the kids out of it. But Peter's what, 20 or 30. 32. They said this. Yeah, it was 32. I want to hear what he has to say because I know that him and Todd didn't get along.

We've seen those scenes where Todd interjects. He's not your fucking bad. Like back off. dude. So I know that he's got some feelings about it. He's probably just not talking about it. But it would be helpful. And I do think, you know, Alexia probably needs to hear it from people close to her.

Like, fuck this dude. Get away from him. Yeah, it might stick a little bit more because she seems to care about her son so much. She does care about her. Marisol can get through. So yeah, that's when you know. That's when you know. But we get a walkup scene.

Cameras behind and you recognize the hair anywhere. And I'm like, hell yeah, the burkin. I'm like, Dr. Nicole's back. thank the fucking lord and it's never been more apparent like you said early on how much we desperately need her back on this show one because she's a delightful character we've always enjoyed her she brings wealth and class and two gertie needs her and we need her for gertie because the way that she goes through the scene like at the end when she's talking about she's like look do i agree with what you did not really but that's what good friends do like say hey that might

have been overboard, but I'm still your friend and walk them through why that could have been handled differently or there can be disagreements, but you still support Gertie and recognize what she's going through. So it was never more obvious. I'm like, fuck, we need her back. We end it with a TBD, which is great. Yeah. But I'm assuming she's going to make a return, maybe friend of this season full time next. She touched on it a little bit where, you know, it seems like she was suffering from postpartum after she had her baby. So she was open. about that. Yeah, she was very open about that. And I think she kind of, I don't want to say she saw it coming or saw the writing on the wall, but I think she was more like, I'm making a big transition in life. I'm having a

baby. Anthony and I are moving. We saw them like finding a house down there. I'm sure they bought a fucking yacht too. Like they're getting completely settled. And I think that's what she wants. And again, that's who she is. That's who she's always been on this show is just incredibly logical and just in touch with everything going on. Why would she be in touch with her own life? Like, hey, yeah, my life's going to be frantic. Do I really want to throw being on this show and being around all these women constantly for like six months of filming? Probably not. Let me just try to work through the things that I'm working through. Get back to even footing and then just jump back in because I'm sure she's just got an open door whenever she wants to come back, especially with this group, because they

want her back. Even the people that probably don't like her probably want her back because we watched her head, or butt heads, but heads, Jesus. Head butt. We watched her butt head butt. We watched her butt heads with Alexia Marisol back in the day. And it just makes for good TV. It really does. So I was happy to see that. And I also love when she's going through all the stuff that Gertie's been doing and obviously dealing with Julia, she doesn't really put Julia down, but she also doesn't say you shouldn't have done the text messages. She says, you shouldn't have said what you said to her about what was going on when you, right before she had a facelift comment. Yeah, the facelift comment was a little bit too far. And that's what friends were for. I'm going to tell you that you did that wrong. But she didn't say anything

about the text messages, which means she agrees with the text messages, which is great. Yeah, and we just needed that support. Like, it's, it's not crazy. It's just like, yeah, I'm your friend. I got your back. Like, oh, thank God. And we get some info that she actually dated, or sorry, Stephanie dated Anthony dated Anthony back in the day 20 years ago.

And Stephanie had a lot of nice things to say about Dr. Nicole. They FaceTime to meet for the first time, like briefly. that would be a fun duo to have those two together. I like the, it's not even shady comments, just the jab. She's like, you know,

my private jet is big, gur. Yeah, I want that. I want that stuff. And I want doctor, like, that's what we loved about Dr.

Nicole on top of everything else was, we're going yacht shopping today. We're going to check out. Yeah. We already have a $10 million house, but we want a $20 million house on the other side of the bay. We're going to keep both, but we're going to stay in this one and bop back and forth.

Like, we're missing that and i know stephanie's bringing it so i appreciate that part of it but the difference with a doctor nicole the fact that she's so well-rounded logical and grounded and also rich as shit yeah such a unique person to have on a show that i know we're just sitting here glazing dr nico but like there's no other way to go about it like she's such a crucial part of this show i didn't realize how much i missed her on it until this scene and i was like damn it man like She needs to come back ASAP. Yeah, and I do think that the duo between her and Stephanie,

and obviously it's only a few episodes into Stephanie's tenure on this show, I think it would be great. I think we'll have so many different times where they get along. They seem similar. There's a lot of the same things that they have. And then there's also going to be times where they butt heads and they're just going to go after each other. And that's going to be really fun because I feel like they can do that, come back together, go right back to it and go back and forth.

And I think that that's a really good dynamic duo that this show not desperately needs, but could use some of them use it could definitely use that and the interesting thing they do address is with julia it's like we have seen a big shift in julia yeah and they both say exactly what we've been saying and again it's not like it's been that hard to decipher yeah it's like it's like she found the cool kids she found her way and she got into the group made friends with whoever she could now she's been around she's starting to get quote unquote popular and she's going over to hang out with alexia and marisol the cool kids and it's like yeah that's all we've all been seeing and it's pretty clear but it's

nice to have somebody that's not gertie or adriana call that out like to have a third party say it that's not even involved this season it's like thank you thank you this was such a like a breath of fresh air for a scene and needed before we get to the yacht day yeah and we go to yacht day Lisa's friend Ebony who knows a couple of the other ladies in the group she's joining for the yacht day we don't get a whole lot from her on the boat but I'm assuming she's going to have a friend of role this season that's how they set it up at least as we discussed stephanie is just there for the day because massoud left the notes and hey we're going to head up to canada for the night to our house in canada because they love it up there you know like to go to who asked her

immediately he still does that was it alexia because i'm pieced together oh i didn't hear that oh you didn't hear that okay so somebody says oh he still does that like in a surprise not in a judgey way in a surprise like oh that's kind of nice i wish my husband did that for me What puzzle are you puzzling right now? I'm puzzling something together, brother. You know me. I know. That's why I said what.

I'll let you know when the puzzle's finished. You know how you start a puzzle and you're like, I'm not really sure, you know, these pieces are fitting together, but I'm not really sure what the big image looks like. No, well, then I look at the box. You know, there's better ones that don't have the picture. You kind of figure it out. What's in the box?

What's in the box? What's in the box? Anyway. It's actually just a puzzle of Guetta Paltrow's head. That's it. that would actually be the best thing ever that'd be kind of funny jesus what am i creating here oh god seven puzzles there's something there and the you don't even show the picture just says what's in the box and it's gwyneth paltrow's

noggin it comes with a candle that you're supposed to light while you're doing the puzzle and you're like what does that smell god damn it and we got there anyways we get on our respective boats they are like across the marina from each other and on kiki's boat this was a dumb move but i'm so very glad that kiki did it because we're on the boat she's discussing the split and she's like yeah you know marisal said that she didn't want to be on a boat with you adriana and i was like oh we're just going to tell her yeah i think she's regretting it not the best move no terrible move you just ruined the whole day but like i love this is kiki getting involved and we've seen her for three seasons down we're like we want more we want more

Maybe she's trying to give us a little bit more. And then you can tell right away, it's just not in her nature. She's like, shit. I don't know why the fuck did I do that. I'm glad. I'm so glad she did. Yeah, that was the worst idea ever. What, what am I doing?

So Adriana immediately starts just going in on Marisol. We flash over the other boat and you get Julia just bending the knee. She's like, I totally understand why Marisol wanted it. It's like, stop. Like, it's too much. It's just gross at this point. grovel harder, dude. Yeah.

But Adriana, we're back at the other boat, and it's just constant. It's constant. The only thing that could possibly derail this conversation is dolphin rape. Thanks, Lisa. Yeah, we've all heard those rumors of dolphins getting a little too friendly in the water. Sure, just to kind of derail us ever so slightly before we tie the boats up. It was a good little comedic relief. That's really all we needed, because you can tell Adriana keeps making frequent.

trips back to get more champagne i love her the next morning she's like yeah i i don't know i just i love that a bottle of champagne it's like i have one had more i had one bottle of champagne and she's not really regretful she's just more like oops she was so funny the next morning i love that she's i did too shouldn't have done that i don't know whatever yeah more to get one who's got champagne but while we're tied up we got both boats together and alexie and stephanie and stephanie Stephanie immediately clash a little bit. And Alexis, like, I don't like that you said that I bark. And this is why I like Stephanie.

She doesn't back down. She's like, you do bark. You do bark. And she's like, no, you bark. And then she says, and it's very important, you're a Chihuahua. I'm a Rottweiler. And then my favorite thing happened. And these moments are few and far between.

But these kinds of trivial arguments are my absolute favorite because it's just pride and ego getting in the way. And if you listen to yourself, you think, guys, like, what are we doing? Yeah. yeah you're a rottweiler where i'm a i'm a i'm a wolf it's like oh well you're a wolf i'm a lion it's like yeah and i'm a fucking eagle yeah and like no one's ever going to win this it's just too funny and i do hope that one of them and it's going to be stephanie realizes that this is all you have to do to just rile her up just like make it funny though and just bring her down

that path on your own just keep adding to it just to see how far alexie is willing to go and have like a just a slight smirk on your face while you do it that's all we need just to know that you're in this with us you're in this to give us a little bit more entertainment from uh from alexia from that point yep and like just the smirk like you said that's all you did will set her off over and over again like she won't think you're being funny like oh this is funny to you it's like it's funny to us at home we're enjoying it so yeah really continue please continue but again Adriana's just, she's going in on Marisol. Unfortunately, proving Marisol's point, this is why she didn't want to get on the boat

because you get stuck on it. And we've watched this happen for three years now. Like you do, you get stuck on the Marisol thing. It's nonstop. It does get irritating. Not in this time, but she did prove Marisol right, unfortunately there. But don't worry, Julia is going to clarify, Adriana's not a fun drunk, but you know who is? Marisol. It's like, here we go again.

Like, just start keeping track of how many times you're sitting there complimenting your new friends. So far up their asses. It's awful to watch. It's funny. It'll turn at some point because it's almost just so embarrassing that you can just make fun of Julia because there's, we've lost all the redeeming qualities of Julia.

They're gone. She used to just be quirky and out there. And if we had to watch her, much like we watched Marisor, or much like we watched Adriana in the first couple of seasons, trying to be friends with them, it gets sad. It gets to a point where it's like, all right, can you guys just like invite her over for dinner? Like maybe it'll be okay. Instead, it's like, no, actually, I kind of want Alexia and Marisol to turn on Julia at some point and leave her out in the wilderness by herself.

Leave her out there. Then all of a sudden she has to turn to a Gertie. She has to turn to an Adriana to try to just beg for their attention, beg for their friendship again because at this point, it's kind of what she deserves. We don't want to watch that too much. So I'm okay with it because if it goes down that road, I'm good with it. That's really all I want to see. And like you said, I like Adriana of the season, but I also understand Marisol's point because

you can tell there's her and Alexi are just so over it. And it's like, yeah, I really don't want to be on the same boat as her, but here's why. And they're not really letting it get to them. They're laughing a lot of the shit off, especially while she's on the other boat. It's a different story when she comes over with the squircun. but while she's on the other boat it's like fuck like she's still going this is real okay

we really have to deal with this like now everybody understands what we're doing yeah she is annoying I understand that but she's funny this year yeah I agree and again Adriana points out and not in a confessional screaming over the rail of the one boat

that Julia she left her best friend to join the cool kids by the cool girls but they're not cool girls they're a mean cougars keep their wrinkled knees and their bony ass they give her more

Hey, happens to the best of us. Enjoy some goldfish cheddar crackers. Goldfish have short memories. Be like goldfish. But this is when you get,

Julia and Adriana sit down, like up on the captain's seat, and they're talking. This was by far the most frustrating scene for me thus far. Yeah. Like this really pissed me off because Julia questions Adriana. At the Gertie's event, you decided to stay behind. You didn't leave with me. And she's like, yeah, I felt the need to mediate.

She's like, well, why would you do that? You're my friend, blah, blah, blah. Okay, why do you talk to Alexia and Marisol after they talked all that shit on me? I'm like, boom, great point. Her response was so fucking annoying. I needed to understand their perspective. Exactly, Julia, exactly what Adriana just said to you. But for some reason, this is different.

For some reason, it's not the same thing. And you don't, oh, Gertie or Adriana, that same grace that you're asking from them. That doesn't make any sense. She's so fucking hypocritical. It's hard to watch. I'm like, how do you not see? And we're going to get more from Alexia and Marisol on the same topic. It seems so obvious.

It's like, did you hear what you just said to get their perspective? What do you think Adrianna was doing? Yeah, it was selfishly intended, but that's irrelevant. It's the same fucking thing. She's trying to gain perspective and be in the middle, just like you were. But because you're with the cool kids now and you hold them to a different regard, now it's different. It's different with them.

it's so frustrating too because that it doesn't make any fucking sense that's not what you're doing you're not getting their perspective you're pining for their friendship you're like a little lap dog just jumping up and down like oh can you guys be my friends can you guys i don't really care about these people anymore i want to be friends with you guys we're all watching that don't try to dumb it down and act like you're just trying to get their perspective you're sucking their dicks that's what you're doing you're over there trying your hardest to be their friend and instead you're like no i just you know i needed their perspective on what life like what what do you fuck are you talking about i don't understand it's not like there

was a huge divide again we still are referring to the off season because that's when it seems like this whole thing started where she actually got some sort of an in with alexia and marisaw but we don't really know what actually broke that what actually got into that so i don't really know we're left kind of guessing but it doesn't seem like there was some great divide or somebody in the group did something that caused julia to say well you know the group is divided let me go over here and talk to Alexia Marisol. It's not like Alexia blew up on Gertie. We would have heard about that.

And you're trying to be the mediator and you're trying to go back and forth and now for whatever reason you agree with Alexia. Like none of these things happened. There's no perspective to gain. They're just, I like Alexia and Marisol most of the time, but they're assholes. That's really what they are.

And you want to be part of the cool kids. That's all it is. There's no real response or reasoning that Julia could come up with now where I'd be like, yeah, I can respect that. That makes sense. Yeah. No, it'll make sense.

But like, I'm not going to respect it. at this point. Oh, no, I'm saying there's nothing she can say that'll, like, click for me. And I'll be like, yeah, that makes sense. Like, it wouldn't. There's literally nothing that you could actually say at this point that I'd be like, oh, okay, that's why you did it. That makes sense. I guess I can respect your wishes. Like, no, we know what you're doing. And at no point, am I going to just respect you for telling the truth? Even if you cop to exactly what it is, I'll be like, yeah, duh, dumbass. 100%. I 100% agree. But Adriana makes so much, this is the most said she's ever made because he goes to a confessional and she's like you know julia started this

whole thing with the water toss a text were a response and if you're looking at it throwing water in someone's face is way worse than the text message especially considering what was contained in the text it was vindication nobody read it but they weren't like condemning text like yes it's a breach of privacy and i understand that part of it but you could throw water in as like that's a salt you're starting a physical confrontation and if she chooses to clap back i know it's not like i'm not saying that that's not what i'm what i'm explaining is by doing that yeah you're inviting physical confrontation because you're making contact in some way shape or form luckily gertie can keep a cool head about her and doesn't do that but i can't say for sure if if a dude threw water in my face that i wouldn't try to

you know rassel at least throw a drink in my face like and just like kind of like I saw a video the other day. This guy was in the backyard and people were throwing beers at him, like just splashing him in the face and then he had to say what the beer was. I'm like, I'd be so good. Oh, that's fun. We could do that.

I'll throw beer in your face. Yeah. The problem was he had a pool so like right afterwards he could just kind of jump in the pool because he had it all over him. I've got a kiddie pool. We can fill that up. You can just take a dunk. Yeah.

Or your cold plunge. I do have my cold plunge. Just spray me with a hose. I got a pond. they got a pool pond it'll be good for you well done nice drop it right there but the best thing that adriana says is god forbid you hold julia accountable or god forbid you call her out and this is when you get the line from julia gertie's coming you know how she is she's probably going to throw things at me and that's when i that was the last straw i'm like in what world bro

in what world is that what world is that what gertie does she's never done that you did that you threw something at her she didn't throw anything at you to try to flip this now is gross figuratively maybe if you want to even go down there maybe but that doesn't even make sense either like she said she's going to throw things at me it's like what are you talking about dude like that's your ammo now not hers so show mean looks at me yeah it was just it was a hurl insults uh like i said between that and claim that she points and gets in people's face with her hands i was like okay what are we doing like what is this image you're trying to paint because it's not a good it is so much worse like it's already bad enough it seems like every episode she says something else it's

Like, dude, like, we already know what you're doing and we're already condemning you for it. Why are you making it so much? You're just digging the whole deeper. How do people not have, this is something that I just never generally understand. How do people not have like the inner feeling of, ooh, fuck? Yeah, that's bad. I mean, like, blatantly racist right now? Maybe I should shut the fuck up.

Like, I never understand that. I'm like, yeah, if that's the person that you are, you're a piece of shit and you just want to be racist. Fine, I get that, I guess. In some way. I don't get that, but. I mean, I don't get it. No, I meant like, at least like, you know what you mean. A piece of shit racist.

But if you're going to do this, how do you not think like, oh, yeah, I mean, she's my friend. I would treat any of my friends like this. Like you're not treating any of your friends like this. You're only treating dirty like this. You're making it so much worse. Yeah, every single episode, there's more to add to it. And it's like, wow, Julia, like this is good luck coming back from this one. But we get to dinner, which makes everything worse.

And it's like a Haitian feast, which Haitian food fucking slaps. It's so goddamn good. I was so jealous. But Lisa, I'm glad she did this. She's had a solid season so far, but she's like, let's do an exercise. We're going to go around the table and say nice things about, say some positive things about each other. Marisol and Adriana, you start. This was so fucking funny because Marisol obviously feels a type of way about Adriana.

Adriana acts like she hates them. She really just wants to be friends with them. So Adriana doesn't even hesitate. well this and she says like a bunch of nice things about Marisol she's very sweet and it's like all right Marisol she's like I'm give me a sec would you just give me a sec I'm trying uh it's cool that you play the piano I was like that was so nice it's like I guess yeah that's whatever it's definitely the nicest thing that Marisol's ever said about Adriana sure but it's just watch you go like rack her brain and trying genuinely to say something nice and you get the

montage of all the mean things Adriano said about her. And she's like, you play the piano. Plus my heart. Me? You know that. You know that I play the piano. You just feel so happy. For whatever reason, there was a huge plot point last year because you were play the piano

and singing for Julia's anniversary. It was her and Martinez anniversary. She sang the album song. Yeah. Dude, it was, it cracked me up. But obviously, this is all a set up to get to Gertie and Julia. Gertie goes, again, doesn't hesitate, you know, calls Julia compassionate, all these things, nice things.

And then Julia's supposed to go and she talks about how Gertie's good with her emotions or whatever. And then like midway through, she's like, I can't hide my emotions. I'm just not good at it, blah, blah, blah. I thought we agreed to move on. This is the part that she's missing entirely. It's like, you did. Yeah.

And Gertie was cool. I know, sure. Like, Gertie was cool. That's it. No. We were like, what the fuck was that? She didn't take any accountability, but Gertie was enough for her to make, you know what, fuck it.

Yeah, let's move on. You go to the Greek party, the narcissist party, and you say, how do you get, like, the way you said it, how do you phrased it differently? Like, hey, how do you move forward with a friend after you both wronged each other? Fine. What you said was how do you move on around the friend after she said disgusting, horrible things about you? It's like, okay, so we're back to square one.

but she doesn't see that as an issue. She's like, I was trying to ask him for help. We were there. He was there. I was trying to move forward. I mean, I know he's got three books and everything. He does have three books.

He's not a bestseller. He's not a bestseller. He simply has three books. Oh, I was just. Yeah, no bestseller claim it. I just inflated a little bit more every time we talk about him. He was the Oprah book club of the month. Do you have an Instagram quote that really resonates with me right now?

Let me check. Hold on. Let me give me a second. Let me just scroll through. I got a couple. Go over to that mirror over there and it'll be ready at a couple of seconds. I got you. 100%.

But again, Gertie, she felt the need to respond. She didn't want to take it as far as she did. She felt that that was the only action. She stands by it. I think we were going to get to an apology or at least like I get that that wasn't great. But Alexia and Marisol decided to chime in and speak on everybody's behalf, which I hate it. Because it's like nobody liked it. It was disgusting and horrible and blah, blah, blah.

They're going in on her and trying to say, like, do you not understand, like, how ridiculous that was? Like, none of us stood for that. We're all so disgusted by you. It's like, great, where the fuck was this when the water was thrown in Gertie's face? Yeah, I don't get that. Because everything you're saying right now, every single line can apply to the situation where Julia threw water. But in that moment, Gertie was asked to leave by Kiki. In that moment, everybody there acted like it wasn't that big of a deal.

It's like, oh, we got to get over this. Like, let's move on. But she shows a bunch of text messages at her event. And that's unforgivable. The hypocrisy in this moment drove me crazy. And I'm like, why the fuck is Gertie being singled out so much? Why the fuck is Dr. Nicole not back?

Pay her whatever she needs to have some support for Gertie. If Dr. Nicole was in this scene, it would immediately be shut down. She'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are we doing here? Do we forget we have amnesia? She simply just needs one person to be on her. her side. And I do think that the rest of the crew would just back down. Like, yeah, Julia would still be involved in some way, shape, or form. But everybody else would probably back down. I don't think that they would want to get involved. And I'm not saying it has to be

Dr. Nicole. I'm not saying it has to be Kiki. I'm not saying it has to be anybody to step up. Like there. Somebody just needs to point it out and just say, what the fuck are we doing? Just put, you want perspective. Here's the perspective. Let's just look at this whole thing as an overview. Gertie has said some things that she probably would like to take back that she wishes that she hadn't said the text messages weren't that bad. It's her party. She can do whatever the fuck she wants. It's not like she was condemning her. She was just giving you guys the context that you so desperately wanted. But for whatever reason, now you're turning a blind eye to the context because you feel like that was a disgusting behavior. It wasn't. She didn't really

put Julia on blast. She showed text messages between the two of them that showed where the intention was for a cruise party, for where she was sitting at a cruise dinner. who the fuck cares in the greater scheme of things this means absolutely nothing i don't think that it was enough i think that i honestly i think gertie cut probably should have done more honestly we've seen worse in this show we've seen so much worse on this show and if she really wanted to do that she probably could have and this is all she wanted to do was just provide the context of the situation that you guys for whatever reason are turning a blind eye to because you're just automatically picking julia why because you're being racist like that's really all

it is you're not picking gertie because you feel like all of her emotions all of her actions her behaviors are just not in line with a friend that you want to be with. Why? Because you're racist. Everybody else in the group does the same shit. That's what the whole narcissist party was. And obviously it's very hypocritical because Alexia doesn't see that as a party for Todd or even her.

But everybody else is a narcissist. They all think that. They all look at each other and say the same thing. Gertie's the only one who said we're all narcissists. And she's right. And it's okay. And yes, guess what? That makes Gertie the least narcissist out of all of them by at least

pointing that out. So the whole thing's just asked backwards at this point. And it's just it's tough to watch in certain times. Yeah, these moments are tough to watch because I sit there racking my brain trying to understand any other perspective. And you're just watching Gertie get singled out every fucking episode. And Julia has the balls to say, where's Adriana? She's at the bar, not defending it. You're indefensible. The only reason Alexia and Marisol are defending you is because you're in with the cool crowd for a little while. They'll turn on you. It's only a matter of time like I'm banking on that one it's just bad dude it's like like you said earlier how do you not see what you're doing and saying like how do you not recognize like oh fuck this is actually

problematic maybe I should just shut the fuck up and apologize and understand that on this show that we love so very much because of all these characters because of how outlandish they are because of their reactions to things we've seen this a lot but suddenly it's over the line because it's Gertie. Okay, got it. Great, guys. This is looking awesome for everybody. And nobody's standing up.

Not one person is standing up and going, time out. This kind of sucks. Let's change this. And I hope somebody does at some point. I think Stephanie might. I think if she was there, we had a chance because it's up against Alexia as well. So it's a little bit more personal.

So I think and hope that maybe she takes on that job. We talked about last week with the teams starting to be formed a little bit. And, you know, as much as I feel like Adriana could be a good person in this situation, she's going to be strict and loud. No one's going to take her seriously. Kiki's not really involved one way or another. I'm not going to force her hand to tell her that she needs to get involved, but that would be nice if she could just take Gertie's side.

I think Lisa is trying to stay neutral. I think she's team Gertie, but she's trying to stay out of it. Yeah, something's going to have to give at some point. And it might simply just be Alexia and Stephanie just aren't getting along. And Alexia is on the one side. So Stephanie's going to go to the other. And she's now, see, I don't see that happening either because she's getting too close with Julia. So it does seem like we're in for another couple episodes, at least, of Gertie just kind of being on an island by yourself, which sucks.

Well, we are team Gertie for now and forever. Team Gertie and, of course, Team Russell, love that, man. Yeah. But the next morning was funny. Adriana wakes up, acknowledges that I don't, like, doesn't really remember a whole lot from the night before. Yeah. And you get Marisol, Larsa, and Alexia sitting on the back of the boat and they FaceTime Stephanie. Or Stephanie calls and they put it on speaker, whatever.

And she's like, oh, where's the Rottweiler? Ha, ha, ha. Funny. We know where it came from. To call back to less than 24 hours before. And Alexia is like, that's you. It's like, whoa, well, wait. You said that you were a Rottweiler and then a lion or something.

You made this claim. You called her. And that's what Stephanie's like, wait, hold on. Like, you called me a Chihuahua. Yeah. And you said that you were a Rottweiler. She's like, we said that joking around. It was playful.

And now you're going to call me a Rottweiler. Like, it escalates so fast. Even Larsa. Oh, crazy. Even Larsa was like, whoa, this was all like Stephanie was trying to be playful and joke around. Like Alexis is getting way too amped up. And then you get the line, which is 100% how Alexia feels about Stephanie. Yeah, well, why don't you go and aren't you happy with your perfect life and your, your perfect husband, your perfect vacation on your private jet?

I'm stuck with Todd Norentel in Marisol. And Marisol's like, yeah, I'm really not in. I think I'm out on Stephanie. It's like, why? Yeah, why? Like, what is she done to you, Marisol? Alexia's sad and crying about this. Like, it doesn't make any sense.

Because she called her a Rottweiler. I just love that like going into it, it's so clearly. Stephanie's giving Alexia another chance in spite of what Alexia had said last year, or last year, last episode saying that she was kissing everybody's ass and she wants to go back inside and do all that. Stephanie let that go. She tried to go clean slate with Alexia, tried to bring up something that they joked about the day before. Clearly, Alexia wasn't joking. And it turns into something else. And she was being playful. And I think it was, hey, here's an olive branch. I'm going to make a joke about something we both laughed at

yesterday. You want to be friends? No. Okay. All right. So I think this is probably the last time that we're going to see Stephanie do that. You're going to call me a rot by there. No, you, you called yourself a rot. I was trying to be funny. Yeah, well, fuck you. Like, It gets off, like, they hang up the speaker phone, and she's just, like, going in. She's like, you know, I fuck her. Like, I don't like her. And they're still like, yeah, me neither. It's like, all right.

And Lars is the voice of reason. You know you're on the wrong team. Because she's like, this was supposed to be a joke, guys. It's supposed to be a joke. So whatever. I don't know. The show is good. It's a good season.

Despite what's going on, I will say if it continues down this path, it's going to be tougher to watch and enjoy yeah they need to nip it in the bud somebody needs to step up and be a good fucking friend please and not not the one housewife that's missing from the cast this season and dr nicole like somebody has to take this on and not be afraid to step up to alexia marisol and nobody should be afraid of julia that's that's why that's for sure like why she's not catching any heat for any of this is beyond me but anyway let's get to some questions. First up from Jay Bay the Hutt 713.

When it comes to the reading the text thing, can Larson not read well? I'm going to tell you exactly what it is. Larsa scanned it for her own name, didn't see her own name, and then stopped carrying. Where is that? Sorry, I got sidetracked. What did you say? Jay Bay the Hutt said when it comes to reading the text thing, can Larsa not read well?

We alluded to it. I don't want to. No, I'm telling you exactly what it is. She scans the documents and she said, I don't see my name. I don't care anymore. Oh, that's exactly what it was. Yes,

you're correct. Sorry. I missed that. Steel can't read well, I think. That's true, too. This is a good one to answer from Zoe Cudda. Polay, racism and bias are real, but maybe the women don't like Gertie and it's not about race.

When she is doing the same exact things that other people on this cast do, when we've seen her have friendships on this show with multiple women, And when you see the behavior of hers getting called out, but Julia's getting glossed over as not that bad, then you have to look deeper into it and say something else is going on here. I think that turning a blind eye to what is happening is part of the problem. I think that it's become far too evident for me watching to not address what's going on. So I don't think it's just they don't like her. I think that maybe they don't like her, but they're using more to try to vilify her. And when you really break it down, like, yes, we both recognize racism here.

We both see it. It seems actually pretty obvious to me because, again, it comes down to she's doing the same shit everyone else is done. And yet, for some reason, Gertie's is 10 times worse than anybody else's. And that doesn't make any fucking sense. What it would be to me for them to simply not like Gertie would be all of them being incredibly dismissive and all of them just being like, whatever, Gertie, like, we're so tired of you doing this shit, like, whatever.

Instead, they're nitpicking the certain things that they're pointing out that all of them do, but for whatever reason, she's held to a different standard. Yeah, I mean, I think both can be true. I mean, they might not like her, but they're also being racist. Like, both can definitely be true in this situation. So, it's just

a different situation. If they didn't like her as a person and didn't really care about race, we would see a little bit different, the motives would be a lot of The things they said, it would be coming off a lot differently. And we're not the group, like, we're definitely not the podcast to call that out every single time that something happens, but we both see it. So, you know, that's what it is.

Ryan Stoneman. I was just going to read that one. Should they just lock barisone adrian in a room together and see what happens? I'm down with a camera in there. Yep. Yep. Yeah. And I'll do you one better.

Make them, they'll take the same elevator and then stop the elevator and leave them in there and we'll just see the corner camera and see what goes down i'm down for that from insta step seven what comment do you think stephen will be embarrassed by when watching back i don't think she will and even if she is she's not going to admit it she's very proud person and i think that she stands by all the shit she's saying and we yeah there's nothing that's been like bad it's just her bragging about burkins and shit which annoyed me initially and i said one thing i said if she's going to be this person she has to lean in fully she's doing that so it is no longer annoying now it's like all right well this is the wealthy one and i like that that's what housewives used to be

bring wealth back to housewives and that's what's making it back uh from gregg birch st louis st l i'm assuming that st louis what happened to the horn at the beginning of the miami episodes we've done remote for the last three weeks for miami four weeks and the soundboard doesn't work with the software reuse yeah i trust me i miss it too we'll do an in-person one soon and i'll use the horn at least five times to make up for it. But I miss it too, Greg. I miss it too. From Health Godder, which of the Miami ladies would you have on your yacht? You can choose four. Kiki, Gertie, Lisa, and Stephanie. Yeah, that's a good four. As much as I'm enjoying

Adriana this season, I don't think I could be on a yacht with her. I think she would annoy the shit out of me. For the most, like, entertaining? boat, Adriana, Marisol, Stephanie, Alexia. Yeah. And I wish you could bring one more just to be the, and Dr. Nicole. Oh, yeah. Let's do one more if we can find one. Yeah, here you go from Sarah D.

Or Saradi. Do you guys feel like we missed out this season on a Dr. Nicole and Stephanie friendship? I do. Yeah, we talked about that earlier. We're definitely missing a piece here that would tie this whole thing together. Like, if you look across the board what Dr. Nicole would do, the Gertie situation would be different. Stephanie and Nicole, that friendship could be great.

Dr. Nicole is our voice of reason, and we do not have that now across the board. Like Gertie is the closest thing we have to it, but we're missing that, that cornerstone of just logic. and on a show like this with this many wacky characters you really need that person. So we said that last year that the only fault of this season

might be the lack of Dr. Nicole. And we'll see how it plays out because I do see multiple instances where her absence might cause issues. Yeah. Yeah, we're seeing a lot of that right now and it's never been more clear than when we actually have her in an episode.

We get that seat. Or it just seems so much more light, airy and we understand things a little bit better. So, it is what it is, I suppose, but not happy about it. Correct. Agreed. But that's all I got. You got anything else? Nope. All good here. Well, that's our show. Bro's got to go. Calling all book lovers. The Toronto International Festival of Authors
