I knew Wittner was rich.
I didn't know Wittner was rich, rich.
Is Wittner richer than Shep?
I think what we need to do is go through the Jimmy Buffett
Dysography and figure out for ourselves if he's mentioned
and if his net worth or his family's net worth is mentioned
because Jimmy's got some subliminal messages in there.
If you listen, it's not just about a cheeseburger in paradise.
Maybe itchy grass farms is the paradise that the cheeseburger's at.
We don't know.
Maybe.
We have no idea.
As there's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos.
Oh man, it's 8 o'clock.
And so that'll make it a...
I don't need the spotlight.
I shine just fine.
Hi, I'm Karma.
And yes, I am a bitch.
Brov Bros.
Good evening, everybody.
Welcome back to another episode of Brab Bros.
Your favorite podcast from The Bros.
For everybody, for whoever wants to listen.
I am your co-host, Steele Russell,
joined as always by the one and only.
parent head magoutes what's up dude god did i ever think that we'd get a jimmy buffett reference
in southern charm no no i didn't did i think that sally what did i think sally wanted to get
rid of her chickens immediately yeah sure did yeah that was the least surprising they ever i'm actually
surprised you would think in charleston we'd at least have like a couple of uh especially when
parents are around like you'd think we would have gotten one or two buffett references
Yeah, some parrot heads floating around Charleston.
Charleston's a weird place.
I think I think like Shep would be like a deadhead slash parrot head.
I think Austin's definitely a deadhead because I've seen him with Andy Cohen at
Dead and Company concerts before.
But there is a crossover somewhere in there.
It's like somehow the similar type of music that I don't really understand.
Maybe that part of my brain never developed or it is developed.
It's not undrue.
No shot.
But, you know, I don't.
Yeah.
Whops.
Deadheads are going to hear that and go, how dare you compare us to parent heads?
We've been in a feud forever.
Dead.
Like, I feel like Deadheads listen to podcasts and they have music playing in the background while they're listening to the podcast because they just can't do anything without listening to it.
It's weird.
Bruce followed the dead around for a little bit.
Like a month, I think.
Yeah.
I think following, following Grateful Dead around is fine in my eyes.
once you say you're like, yeah, I'm following fish around.
I'm like, oh, so you're a modern hippie.
Yeah, the fish thing I don't understand.
And like no shades anyone if you're like a fish head and you go to those fish concerts,
like the festivals and all that.
I've just never understood it.
Granted, I've never been on drugs like that.
But, you know, I just, I can't stand around.
Not saying that you need to do drugs to enjoy fish, but you know.
I'm saying a lot of people tend to do drugs before fish concerts.
So I don't know.
I just think like when I,
I hear that somebody's a fish fan or they're following fish arounds.
Like, they seldom wear sandals.
Like, sandals is the only footwear that they have.
Otherwise, it's just their feet.
Like, my feet were made for walking.
Well, they got burk and stocks for nice occasions.
See, I think that's dead people, honestly.
Is that just dead?
That's not fish?
I don't think that's fish.
I think fish is like barefoot, just dirty-ass feet, hippies, smelly.
That's what I think of.
I don't know.
I don't think I don't think I'm offending anybody because, again, I don't think
fish people listen to podcast, but.
you know, whatever.
Well, this isn't our jam band, uh, evisceration session.
This is, uh, Southern Char.
So we are back after a one week.
Did you cover this with, uh, Bailey?
Did you guys like talking about us a little bit?
Yeah, me and Bailey bopped through here.
We mostly just talked about Craig and, uh, Austin, which,
uh, the thing with Craig and Austin, and we talk about it every goddamn episode,
it's just a black cloud that hangs over.
And it's always like, oh, there's a new.
caveat. There's some weird nuance that's going on that's different than a season prior.
We always end up at the same place. It's a big black cloud that just hangs over the rest of the
cast. And it seems like we can't really get into any other storylines because everybody else
gets bogged down by it. It's almost, dare I say, Teresa and Melissa, like, it's getting
to that point for me where it's like, yeah, it's still like somewhat entertaining because
other people have different takes on it. And Rodrigo, thank God for him. But I don't know.
We can never really move forward.
We can never get to anything else that's even remotely fun or interesting or deep
that actually can like compel an entire season.
It's just little quips here and there from other people about their daily lives.
And then we get back to Craig and Austin.
It's kind of annoying.
I think it's because they're two of the bigger personalities on the show.
And I know that everyone on Southern Charms got a big personality,
but they're very polarizing.
You know, they're both loud.
So I think that when they're having beef,
that tends to take over the room.
One, because everyone's invested, because everyone has an opinion on it.
And two, they're just loud when it happens.
Like, it's never, it's never a calm conversation of, hey, we disagree.
Let's sit down and hash this out.
It's always, let's hash this out.
And then after 10 seconds, it escalates to screaming.
Yeah, but it drives us insane because we're talking about the same thing every time.
And I'm coming up with different ideas or opinions on what's going on exactly.
even right now I flipped over to I do believe that if Austin would just leave Craig alone and not make comments, everything would be fine.
It wouldn't fucking matter because I don't think that Craig gets amped up.
We haven't really seen Craig get amped up at Austin without Austin making some comments beforehand.
We agree that those comments beforehand are completely menial and mean, mean, absolutely nothing.
But it still leads one thing to another.
I do think this kind of ties into Watch Rapids Live because Austin was on it last night with Wittner.
they did a shag-marry kill
and immediately
Austin's like,
I might just want to gulp this whole beer.
Actually,
you know what,
fuck it.
I'd marry Paige.
It's like,
why?
Like,
why it's funny.
Like,
when I saw it,
it's too,
like,
it's really funny
because I saw the screen grab
and I'm like,
oh,
I kind of hope that he said page
just to like see what happens.
He did it.
And as soon as he did it,
I'm like,
oh, man,
why'd you do that?
I don't,
we're going to talk about this for like six,
but like,
we're going to talk about it at the reunion
for like 45 minutes.
Sure.
And immediately that's where my brain goes to.
And I just don't want to endure it anymore.
So if I'm Austin, just leave Craig alone.
You guys don't have to be friends.
But if you don't say anything to him, nothing's going to erupt.
And if he erupts, then you're in the right.
And I think that Austin wants to be in the right.
I think they both want to be in the right.
They're just kind of like forcing it on each other.
But I do think that if Austin just leaves Craig alone, none of this would really happen.
I don't know.
Because like the other side of it is that Craig always does have an opinion to other people.
Like that's where, I don't know.
Like, I'm not saying you're wrong.
I know that Austin does egg him on a little bit.
But like Craig, the matter of fact tone in which Craig speaks about Austin's life, that would drive me up a wall too.
And I would probably poke and poke.
So again, you got both sides just poking each other.
As we've seen year and and year out.
But let's get into this episode.
And we start out with Whitner and Shep and they're talking about what the trip is going to be like to Itchy Grass Farm after the,
big blowup at Austin's birthday dinner.
And, you know, we're getting recaps of that scene.
And we don't have to talk about it because it's more of the same stuff.
And you guys probably covered that part of it last week.
But it does set the tone for this trip in a different way, I think, because I do think that
what this is going to be and what I hope this is going to be is the first time where it's like,
I'm going to let you be you, you let me be me.
Let's just coexist and not talk.
Like that's the goal, I think, going into this one.
At least that's what it felt like to me.
It's definitely the goal, but like we've been here before.
Sure.
It never works out exactly how they wanted to.
Like they can say that until they're blue in the face and they have said that and they
have been blue in the face, usually screaming at each other.
It never works out.
And I don't know if it's because of other parties because, yes, we do see Shep get involved.
And Shep's trying to mediate in a way, I guess.
But he's also trying to prove to both of them that they're wrong.
and it's a very weird thing because now you're in a weird triangle where everybody's trying to be right.
So there's always outside influences, but at the end of the day, it never fucking matters.
You guys always do the same shit.
So it's just getting to a point now where it's like, okay, like, I appreciate that you're saying that,
but you're not going to do it.
It's not going to happen.
So I don't know why you're saying it anymore.
But the problem with Shep intervening with these two is depending on who he's with, he agrees with them.
Right.
Like if he's with Craig, he's very agreeable to Craig.
Austin this, Austin, that, Craig, I'm on your team.
When he's with Austin, oh, Craig, this, Craig, that Austin, I'm on your team.
It's not sound advice because a year ago, possibly two or three years ago, we would have
had a chef that is more opinionated.
Ever since he almost lost Craig and Austin as friends, he's afraid to step over that line
because he doesn't want to be lonely because that's what Shep's biggest fear is.
So he tends to now ride this line of,
I'm going to appease the both of you
when I'm in your company.
And I'm also going to talk a little bit of shit
about the other person when I'm in your company
just to really stay in your good graces
because you guys aren't going to talk to each other about it.
So I'm probably safe.
Like that's the vibe that Shep's giving me currently.
Yeah, I think that's definitely fair to say.
And the only time that we really see
what might be his actual opinion on everything going down
is when it's a small group
and they're arguing like they were at Austin's dinner party
that we before for a couple of
couple days before, whatever it was. That's the only time that Shep actually has to step in and
take a side or say something. A lot of times he doesn't take a side. He just proves that both of them
are wrong. But it falls on deaf ears because they both again think that they're so right.
And no one's really giving them reasons why they're wrong for what they're doing or saying
because they'll just spin it and say, well, I wouldn't have done that if he didn't do this first.
So it's really, it's a chicken and the egg thing. But we're never going to find out what came
first because you have so much history.
There's so much going on.
And they always say that they want to bury the hatchet.
And that's pretty much how every fucking season starts.
And they never bury the hatchet because something happens.
It pops off.
And then we're right back to six, seven seasons ago.
Sure.
Well, Austin's at home.
And he's with his emotional support kitties, which is, it's sweet.
His cat dad storyline I'm enjoying.
And he gives Madison a call about some personal stuff.
And we don't get to see what that's about yet.
we come to find out later,
or he was going to jump the gun.
He ended up breaking up with Audrey.
And that's what he was calling Madison about
because he doesn't know who else to call.
And that is the one thing
that I do feel really bad for Austin for
is he really doesn't have that confidant anymore.
And we're watching this friendship with Rod
really blossom,
which has been awesome.
Like I love Rod and Austin together.
They compliment each other well.
They're funny.
And Rod is the most
sound of mind on this show.
Like if you want good, sound advice, go to
Ron. So that's
also where I'm trying to
get most of my barometer
of what's going on
between Austin and Craig. Because when I look at this
situation, and then
we'll move on. I don't want to get stuck on Austin and Craig
more than we have to. Yeah.
But when I look at the situation,
does Austin say stupid things
that get him into bad spots?
Totally. Is that making this whole thing
much worse. Yes. Craig to me, I don't know how anyone's hanging out with him this season.
Like, he's insufferable. I can't stand watching him. Like he's gaslighting everybody. He has different
standards for other people and he does himself. And yet he doesn't understand that like when he's
giving other people direction or commenting on other people's shit. And I'm going to talk about that a lot
more later. It's just, I get it to a certain point where I would be so irritated. And then when
he shows up, it's this holier than now Martha Stewart thing. Like, that would bother me. That would
really bother me. Yeah, that would definitely bother me to. And look, as everybody knows pretty much
everybody that's listening to this. I am a master person. I don't know how to put this. I'm a master
of mess. I'm a master at messing with people. I poke and prod. Just,
for my own enjoyment and I like to fuck around with people.
It seems like that's kind of what Austin's trying to do with Craig.
He does it with Shep.
Sheff handles it better.
But in my opinion, when you come across somebody who's in your group or somebody
who's your group adjacent, whatever it might be, and they clearly just cannot handle the joke,
you don't keep doing it.
Like, yes, it is funny to a certain extent.
But that point passed 10 years ago.
Like, I would have immediately been like, all right, I can't mess with this guy.
He's too serious.
He takes everything too personally.
it's not enjoyable anymore, and it's not enjoyable for everybody else because at the end of the day,
you want to make everybody else laugh. So that's why you're making those comments.
If you're still making those comments, even though all of that is past, you're doing it for a different
reason. There's a deep-seated issue somewhere in there. And I don't know when it manifested. I don't
know where it came from. If it's Craig talking about your life, Craig talking about your relationships,
you having a weird situation going on where you're looking at Craig's life and saying he's doing a bunch
of things and he's saying the completely wrong thing, whatever it might be.
Something popped up where it doesn't make a ton of sense that you would keep doing this
and yet he's still doing it.
So there's something else going on.
And you would just let it go at this point.
Like it's just simply not worth it if I'm Austin.
So he keeps talking about it.
We know Austin.
He does take a long time to set plans into motion.
Sure.
I'm hoping by the end of the season he actually walks the talk and stops fucking around
with Craig because there's just no point in doing it anymore.
Yeah, and I think that's the route, right, where you can look at Austin and be like you're
not doing yourself any favors because I do think that Craig, if you let him go, he's going to say
all these big things and use these big words and make these big claims and promises.
He's not going to follow through on those things.
He's going to fall off on at least most of them and put himself in a bad spot.
And I think where I get frustrated with Austin, he makes the claim to Madison, to Rod, to
whoever wants to listen, like I'm done with Craig.
I don't want to do this shit anymore.
And to your point, if that's what you feel, Austin,
then just don't engage.
Don't engage.
Like, leave him be.
Let him say his stupid shit.
Let him talk.
That's the other part of it, too, is a lot of people on this cast,
they see through it.
So you're not convincing anybody else.
You're just trying to convince everybody else,
but they don't need the convincing.
They get it.
But then you put yourself in a spot,
and now people are going to,
point at you and be like, well, you're not helping.
Like, you're just as much of the problem.
And he doesn't have to be in that position.
So that's where I get frustrated because it's like, Austin, you are maturing.
It's taken a while.
And he has some missteps.
But I think we can all agree.
We've watched Austin grow a little bit over the past three years.
And I would accredit some of that to Craig and Craig's journey.
And I think acknowledging that part of it's important too.
Like, hey, Craig getting his shit together over the past few years, whether it was paid
to Jason or not, did kick you in the ass a little bit to look at your own life and be like,
hey, maybe it's time to grow up a little bit. Follow through on that. Like you're so close,
just like give in and stop giving in.
Investing is all about the future. So what do you think's going to happen? Bitcoin is sort of
inevitable at this point. I think it would come down to precious metals. I hope we don't go
cashless. I would say land is a safe investment. Technology companies, solar energy. Robotic pollinators
might be a thing.
A wrestler to face a robot, that will have to happen.
So whatever you think is going to happen in the future, you can invest in it at WealthSimple.

Via rail, love the way.
But now where we are,
Somebody else has to step in.
That's where I think Rod is going to shine.
If he can, he can be our night in shining armor.
If he just steps in and tells them both, shut the fuck up.
Like, you're ruining our time.
You're ruining every night that we go out.
And I'm worried too, because we have people on this cast that I know can do that.
But you look at somebody like Madison.
Yes, she's pregnant.
She's got a lot going on.
She's been on this show for a long time.
She might be looking at it.
Like, this is what the people want.
I'm going to just keep gaslighting it.
I'm going to talk to Austin a little bit, tell him that he's,
He's totally right, even though I know he's wrong in certain situations, but it's just because
I think he's a little bit more right than Craig is, he gives him the upper hands, and it's going
to fuel his fire.
And that's what people want.
That's what the show wants.
And it's not anymore.
It just truly isn't.
I don't think that if you ask 10 people on the street about Southern Charm, if they're going to
say, wow, I just look forward to watching these two clash every fucking season.
It's boring now.
It's just, it's run its course for year after year at this point.
And I'm worried that there's no one on the cast that's going to intervene and be like, just
shut up both like you go over there you go over there stop crying and bitching about everything
like Craig's acting like a little brother that Austin's like always messing with him like I'm going to
tell mom I'm going to tell mom but now I'm bigger than you so now I can actually go back like no one
wants to see that's exactly it by the way well done yeah that that is like that's the vibe it's
giving now and I don't want to cloud over the rest of the cast in the season like I think that's
where the frustration comes from is there's a great show here like there's a good
people are getting along for the most part.
We've had some spats.
People are coming back together.
And yet we always,
always center around dumb and dumber.
Like, let's move on.
Let's move on.
And look, I'm okay because they're so, like,
they're the stars of the show.
There's no other way to put it.
But do it in a different light.
Like, be friends.
Like, we see this with housewives all the time.
You've got mortal enemies becoming friends.
Go ahead and have your season or season after season
of bitching at each other, complaining, maybe you'll come back together.
And then you have to have a season of being friends.
I'm sorry, but like you do.
And if you can't figure that out, then one of you has to leave the show because it's bogging
down everything else.
And it's ruining it because we always do this.
The progression is, wow, we've got so many interesting things going on with all these new
people.
Let's see how this goes.
Oh, wait, seven to 10 episodes of Austin versus Craig where no one gets to speak up.
Cool.
Like, that's what we do every season now.
And it's like we can see it coming after, you know, this is what?
the fifth straight season of doing this, you can see it coming.
The writing's on the wall.
We're slowly abandoning the other little things going on.
We're not going to talk about Shet moving.
We're not going to talk about Benita and Sally as much anymore.
We're not going to talk about Charlie and Sally.
That's compelling.
That's weird.
Sally's a fucking nightmare to deal with, but she's fucking weird and interesting.
And she'll play out good on a show.
But she's not going to get a lot of runtime because we do need to check in on Austin and Craig.
And it's just, it's frustrating.
Speaking of Sally.
Let's get to Sally and Molly, and they're going to get a little couples massage to try to smooth things over.
I was not aware that they were as close as they were until this episode, because I guess they've known each other for like four years.
They worked at Republic, or they met at Republic.
They did work together, right?
I didn't hear that wrong.
So they have a friendship, and it has since fallen apart.
I do agree with Molly.
This does seem like conspicuous timing, considering Sally doesn't have Craig anymore, so I didn't have.
Vanita anymore. She's burned some bridges here. She's kind of out on an island. So it's like,
hey, girl, couples massage to smooth things over. What do you say? And Molly clocks it. But why I like
Molly is that she's like, look, yeah, I know what's going on. Love Sally. Like it's fine. But,
you know, keeping that right here. Just remembering. No big deal. Same thing with Vanita.
I forgive, but I don't forget. I know what's going on here. And when they're talking back and
forth during this head massage.
By the way, didn't care for the
head massager thingy.
It looked weird.
No.
I didn't like the way the arms moved.
It looked like some creepy creature.
This is going to sound weird.
This is going to sound really weird.
You can't replicate a human hand.
Like, getting your head rubbed is top five easily.
Oh, he's fantastic.
But you try to make it into like a mechanism.
The fucking robots are going to take over?
Yeah.
No.
No.
No. I don't want the Terminator touching my head. Like, give me, give me flesh.
Get your hands in there and get dirty, damn it.
It's like sometimes you see like gorillas at the zoo picking stuff out of their back.
It probably feels great. I'm sure it does. Yeah. You get those little head lice out of there for sure.
But as they're chatting back and forth, it's making more and more sense because Sally's,
like, well, clearly she wanted to
pit us against each other. I was like, whoa, whoa.
Wait a minute. Because then Molly's like, well, yeah,
because she's the only reason that there was really any issues. I was like,
wait a minute. Well, yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah, you guys are right.
I think, like, my initial response was like, hey, come on now. And then I was like,
oh, I think they were, I think they're right. I think they are.
I think this is fucking hilarious when we get that realization to
because you can compare that to how Sally handles relationships with dudes.
She's isolating guys.
This is what she's doing with Austin right now.
She's talking about how Craig's doing this and Craig's doing that.
Yeah, she feels a little burnt by Craig and she wants to talk some shit on him.
But she's trying to isolate Austin even further.
What was Vanita doing?
Trying to isolate Sally.
Like, wow, this is my first, like, good friends.
They hung out for a summer.
So they're best friends in the world now.
Girl friendships are fucking bizarre to me.
They're best friends in the world now.
They're sitting down and talking shit.
When you flash back, like, yeah, the whole, what do we call it, vaginoplasty?
Is that a real thing?
Yeah, I think so.
Vaginal rejuvenation.
That's what it's called, but I think, I do think that is, I think that's a thing.
Yeah, Google it.
No.
Not going to get me today, buddy.
My CIA agents just watching me right now.
That being said, when you watch all of those things, fuck.
Yeah.
Yeah, Vanita is doing all of these things.
She is pitting Sally again.
other women in the group so that she can get her for herself.
But the same thing doesn't happen to Benita.
She's still bopping around and talking to Madison and doing this and that.
So it does bring a lot of things into question.
But I just think it's so funny too because Benita has a lot of comments about the way
Sally moves when it comes to guys.
You're doing the same thing with your friendships.
What is that about?
Let's get some answers.
Are we going to get some answers?
No, actually, let's check out Craig and Austin over here.
They might be fighting.
We're going to go over here.
Time about they're fighting again.
No, but until they had this conversation,
conversation, I didn't see it that way.
Yeah.
And as they were talking, it was like light bulb.
I was like, oh, fuck.
That's that's 100% correct.
And they make up, which I love, love a good makeup, especially in the middle of the season.
Like it's time, wipe the hands.
Let's move on.
We also need to make some new alliances here as this group is ever changing, ever shifting.
That's one thing that's both great and difficult about the Southern charm cast, constantly moving.
Like you got pieces.
These guys are friends.
Now they're not.
Now they're friends with this person.
Now they're not.
So I like that we're getting solidified halfway through.
We need some people to come together so that we can hopefully, unfortunately, it's all
for the same goal.
We need enough people in the same team to look at Austin and Craig and go, guys, knock it off.
Like that's what we're trying to do.
We need to galvanize the group around them so that they feel strong enough and comfortable
enough that like you said, they can address those to whoever's right or wrong.
Because again, like I'm leaning team Austin here.
I think that Craig is just doing way too much.
But the root of it is that you guys are now affecting everybody's time.
We can't do anything fun anymore because you guys ruin it.
And that's what we need to get to.
So when you have a unified group, that makes that conversation more impactful and easier to have.
So we're moving in the right direction elsewhere.
That's important to note.
But let's get to Itchy Grass Farm.
Everyone's departing.
We got three cars.
We got Austin, Rod, and Vanita.
Whitner, Craig, and Shep, Molly, Sally, and Charlie.
So another interesting thing, and credit to Charlie here, especially throughout this episode,
Charlie will not let the dudes affect her friendship with Sally.
She is still trying to make an effort to keep things copacetic, to keep those two moving forward,
despite how painfully awkward it must be, to be in that car.
and here, hey, we got a Craig update.
Like, Charlie, how's that going?
Like, ah, come on.
Don't put her in that spot.
If Sally and Charlie aren't going to continue to be friends, it's going to be Sally's
fault.
Like you can tell Charlie's trying.
She's somehow able to put boundaries up between this and that and whatever so that
she can maintain a friendship with Sally.
And that's important to her.
We watched her talk to her mom earlier in the season about maintaining that.
And yes, she's still going to go after Craig because she wants to explore that and see how
it goes.
And it seems like it's going well.
if you look at that in a nutshell, you're like, okay, cool, these guys might make sense.
We know too much about Craig.
We know too much about the situation to actually be rooting for this.
But Charlie's a grown woman.
She's going to go figure that out for herself.
And she's not going to let the other comments, the other girls, anything else popping up in
Charleston, which I'm sure there is a bunch of shit popping up in Charleston.
She's not going to let any of that actually affect her.
She's going to figure it out for herself.
It's actually what Vanita told Charlie to do or is told Sally to do.
So it still works out pretty well.
And I like that too, because the way that she's,
moving is there's no even like slight semblance of I got Craig you didn't get Craig which
no could easily happen but she's not doing that at all she's being very quiet very chill about
everything she doesn't go in too deep when it when she's talking about the date when they're shuck
and oysters she just said yeah we had a good time and then uh I don't know I'm just enjoying
his presence I'm enjoying figuring all of this out and that's enough for now for any normal
human being that's enough for now but you can already see where we're
Sally's wheels are spinning.
She's spinning into a different direction,
but she's going to get halted very quickly because the other car is talking about something
else that's very important.
Oh, yeah.
The other car is discussing the fact, and this is Austin, Rod, and Vanita.
They're talking about Audrey because we're obviously getting the birthday dinner recap,
blah, blah, blah.
This is the Craig shit talking car.
Well, shit talk away, says Rod.
But we don't get that far in that.
conversation because Audrey comes back up. And Austin lets both the audience and the people in the car
know, long story short, Audrey and I are done, which is sad, but I will say this. And maybe it
dragged on a little long, but Austin did the mature thing. Austin looked at this relationship.
He thought it through. He clearly talked about it to try to figure out what to do, came to the
conclusion, look, I love this girl, but I kind of stop.
trying to convince myself that this is it because I just know deep down it's not so he did the hard
thing and I got to commend him for that he could have dragged this on he could have done the
thing that dudes tend to do where you just start to distance yourself and then make them break up
with you and be like oh my god what happened he didn't do that he took it he took it upon himself so
I want to give him credit for for being a grown up and doing a grown up thing he gets a lot of credit
from my camp honestly I think that timing is everything I think a lot of people were talking
There was a lot of chatter about Austin and Audrey, especially in the group.
Craig had his opinions, obviously.
But the rest of the group also had their opinions.
The beginning of the season, I think it was towards the end of their relationship.
I think that Austin kind of knew that.
Everything he's been saying internally, and yes, we get to watch this on camera,
but this still is his inner circle.
These are the people that he's bouncing ideas off of and talking to people about things.
So he's kind of going through that emotion of, is this it?
I don't think it is it.
and instead of being like, oh shit, dude, like, are you thinking about breaking up with her?
It was you're so unhappy in your relationship and you're jealous of Craig.
Like, no, it's not.
Can we just let the guy get through the end of his relationship when he knows it's at the end?
And it was only a matter of time.
Once he started talking like that, it's going to happen.
Like, that's just typically how it goes.
So I'm going to give him kudos because he even says in his confessional.
This is the first time that he's actually broken up with a girl.
Usually he does the other thing.
Usually something bad happens.
We've seen the thing with Madison over the years.
So yes, usually something ends the relationship for him.
He decided to do it this way, which is maturity.
It's realizing what's going on.
And if you remove all the outside noise and just look at his pathway from the beginning
of the season all the way going back to last season, it makes sense.
Like they were still long distance.
They weren't having that discussion of moving in.
When the discussion of moving in came up, they weren't really sure.
I think Audrey probably would have done it if they met somewhere in the middle.
Maybe if he moved up to Charlotte, I think it would have happened in a hard.
heartbeat, but she wasn't going to move down there.
He wasn't really ready to have her move down there.
He enjoyed the little things here and there, and he's working through his progressions.
If you remove the outside noise, this is just a normal breakup.
This is a normal end of relationship.
But when you add in all the other factors, all of a sudden, it's, well, he must have broken
up with her because he wants to hook up with Sally.
That's what's coming.
And it's going to be such bullshit.
And like, I don't really believe that, honestly.
I think Austin's a bit of a prick sometimes when he needs to be a prick.
I think he's a bit of a prick when he doesn't need to be a prick.
But not in this sense.
I don't think that this has anything to do with it.
I think it was a normal progression, and nobody should make those inferences.
Yeah, and I'm glad you brought that up because that's where my head went to.
And that's where I got bummed out that the season started out the way it did.
Then we got to this point the way that we did because I agree with you.
I think that he was working his way through it on his own time.
And could it have been sped up a little bit?
Yeah, sure.
But he was doing mature things in talking about it.
this trying to figure it out.
Is this the right thing?
Isn't the right step?
I think he would have gotten here around the same time, regardless of, as you said,
the outside noise, it will unfortunately be accredited to that.
Craig will probably go and watch what happens live and take credit for this.
That's where this is probably going to go.
It's the natural progression now.
But, yeah, I think that it ran its course.
He made the right call.
And I think you missed one important part of this is the first girl I've broken up with.
This is the first girl I've broken up with that I still loved is what he's
And that's huge.
So anyway.
The two funny things that come from that too, one, it is kind of funny that he called
Madison first to let her know his ex-girlfriend's like, hey.
Like now it makes a lot of sense because I thought he was just going to talk about his birthday
dinner.
We were going to get that later or, you know, it was just inferred that we were going to do
that.
Instead, it was, yeah, I feel really fucking weird talking to you about this, but I have
no one else to talk to.
Me and Audrey broke up.
That's funny as shit.
That is hilarious to me.
That's crazy.
the other thing that I was thinking of, and this is where my mind went right away,
they probably broke up after Rod and Tyler's engagement party
because we saw them arguing over there.
There were no mics.
There's no cameras, really.
And I imagine they got back to the house.
Maybe the next day they kind of called it quits.
Poor Arjury has to drive all the way back to Charlotte after getting broken up with.
She probably hit that fucking construction traffic that she was complaining about
at the beginning of the year, sat there for like 45 minutes.
Just like, what the fuck?
At least I never have to do this again.
So there is a silver lining.
you don't have to sit in that traffic anymore, Audrey.
Yeah.
You're probably going to live a nice life outside of the limelight away from Charleston,
maybe never visit there again, and that's completely okay.
And you also came off great on TV.
Yeah.
I have no negative things to say about you.
So, yeah, that's a win for her.
But while they're discussing that, we're back in the ladies' car,
and they're talking about Craig again.
Apparently Craig's been going around telling people, Shep,
that I'm afraid that Charlie's going to fall in love with me and she's going to get hurt.
Now, two things.
One, did Craig say this?
Yeah, more than definitely.
More than definitely did he did.
He said this probably multiple times to Shepard.
Two, Sally, I know that part of you wants to protect your friend.
I know part of you wants to drag Craig for doing what he did.
This isn't the right move, dude.
this isn't the right move.
It's not the right time.
You're not the right person because it's going to come off as jealous.
That's all it's going to come off as that you're trying to wreck their relationship because you couldn't have Craig.
And you could be pure of intent.
You're not, by the way, because it is rooted in jealousy a little bit.
But just I really wish, I really wish that she talked to Molly and been like, hey, what do you think?
And Molly could have been like, absolutely not.
Don't fucking say that.
Like, that's a terrible idea.
But it just comes off.
You learned nothing from the Vanita thing.
Like Vinita told you, don't come crying to me when this happens.
And you understood after it happened what Vanita was saying.
You would think maybe you had a learning experience somewhere in there.
But I think she's so blinded by jealousy.
And she feels like Craig got one over on her.
Even though when you really break it down, maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
But it's still kind of a gray area in there.
And yes, he led you on.
but like you guys weren't hooking up.
You guys weren't doing this and that and acting like a couple and then he just completely abandoned you.
You don't really get to say this.
Like you didn't have a relationship with Craig.
You didn't have anything.
Like you got hurt.
But we told you 50 times while we're watching this, Sally, walk away.
Sally, get away from him.
Like, please get away from this.
It's a dumpster fire and you still did it.
You should still be in a frame of mind where you're like, yeah, that was a pretty big mistake.
But I guess internally, if he should.
showing interest in you and it's more interest than he showed in me.
It might be a good thing.
I just don't know.
And at the end of the day, you can just say, look, I don't know what's going to happen.
I had my experiences with them.
I don't know what you're going to do.
It's okay.
Figure it out.
You're an adult.
You'll figure it out.
That's what you should have learned from the Vanita conversation and said she's like, no,
that's going to end terribly for you, Charlie.
You're just going to be crying and you're going to be freaking out and he's going to walk you like a dog.
Where did I hear that before?
I don't know.
I just made that up right now.
Yeah, I invented that.
That's my saying, if it needed it,
and say that at all.
But yeah, it's a tough look, dude.
And I feel bad for Charlie.
Charlie has handled herself so well in all of these scenarios.
Like she doesn't blow up.
She just tries to like wear it and eat it and be like, yeah, aha, anyway,
and tries to change the subject.
But yeah, like vet it through Molly first so that she can tell you what a bad idea it is.
I don't know.
It was tough.
And thank God that we have something to de-referral.
rail this conversation because she calls the boys and say, hey, guys, I want to hear her banana.
Hey, guys, tell Charlie what Craig said.
What are you talking about?
You know, the thing.
I don't really have time for this.
Like, we get an allude to the fact that Austin may have broken up with Audrey.
And that stops everything on a dime.
Sally forgets who Craig is.
She forgets Charlie's in the back seat.
She goes, oh, my God.
And here's another one.
It's a tough scene overall because, one, you did this stuff with Charlie about Craig.
And two, you're now dancing on Audrey's grave.
This is not a good car ride.
No, this is a terrible car ride for Sally.
We tried to give her the benefit of the doubt.
We got one scene, just one scene of her talking to Madison about how hard it was to be in an engagement and then broken off and
and how you just want a family and you want the simple life,
but you're trying to figure things out.
And we're like, all right, there's a little something here.
We'll give you a little better for the doubt.
Gone.
It's gone.
And it's not, and it's not, you know what?
And I've learned my lesson.
It's not coming back.
I know who you are.
We know what you are.
You're going to continue to do this.
Does it make for Fantastic TV?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Certainly does.
But gone are the days that we're going to be talking about your emotions and how you feel
about certain things because it simply does not matter anymore when you're pulling
moves like this.
Yeah, it's a wild move.
wild, wild two moves in a five minute span.
Yeah.
But before we get to itchy grass farms, I want to talk to you guys about Robody.
And maybe you've heard of GLP ones before.
Maybe you were considering doing GLP ones before.
I'm here to tell you that Robody has figured out a way to get rid of that shot.
That shot that's so daunting, the shot that's always right there, they've moved it over to a pill form.
And this is exciting news because the new GLP1 pill has the.
the same weight loss ingredients as the shot, and it packs comparable results to the shot.
It can help patients lose 14% of their body weight in a year on average,
and that's one daily pill for fewer cravings and feeling fuller with an innovative new
formula clinically proven to maximize weight loss.
And GLP ones aren't just for weight loss.
They're not just for losing weight and feeling better.
They also expect you to have better lab numbers, more energy, new levels of confidence
and more benefits that go beyond the scale.
So go to row.com slash brabros to see if you're eligible for the new GLP1 pill on row.
That's RO.
That's RO.co slash brabros to get started on row.
Go to row.com slash safety for box warning and full safety information about GLP1 medications
based on study in non-diabetics with obesity or overweight plus a weight-related condition with diet and exercise.
Now we'll get back to the itchy grass farms.
That's where I want to be.
Yeah, you're damn right.
Right, and we pull up to itchy grass, and this is just a ridiculous property.
I just wrote down, oh, he rich, rich.
Like, we got multiple cabins.
We saw this, too.
Like, we popped over there.
Not like this.
No, this was like drone footage of a fucking compound.
This is insane.
We talked to his parents, like, Wittner was sitting down with his mom, I think, like earlier
in the season.
We knew that he had his own little cottage over there that he was going to raise his family
and do all this and that and whatever.
I didn't expect it to look like this.
This is crazy.
It's insane.
It's absolutely insane.
So this is also where we get to learn about Jimmy Buffett and the fact that he was Wittner's uncle by marriage, I think.
So we're learning a lot about Wittner.
And I've really liked Wittner this season.
I do think he's a little bit of a brown nose, but I also understand that.
You know, it's your first season.
You're trying to snuggle up to some people.
So I'm not, no knocked points for that.
Not going to deduct anything.
He's not the typical douchebag in Charleston that we met a million times.
Right.
I'll give him a lot of props for that.
Yeah, he's a little quirky and I'm completely fine with that.
Yep.
But everybody arrives and, man, we're already making way too many sex jokes about Austin.
You know, oh, this is Austin in your sex dungeon.
Ha, ha, ha.
You said it.
You said it.
Yeah.
The only one that was like tasteful and tasteful being funny was broad saying,
all right, now you're broken up with.
with Audrey, don't go get a hand job from Sally.
I'm not going to get a hand job from Sally.
All right.
Yeah, we hear you, buddy.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, he's definitely going to get a hand job from Sally on that dock outside of the cabin.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, but everybody's at the pool and Austin walks right by Craig.
They don't say hi to each other.
I'm fine with that.
Austin's claiming we're in our coexist mode now.
Like, this feels great.
It's freeing.
I don't even want to talk to Craig.
Ha, ha, ha.
Hoping that holds on.
I don't have a whole lot of hope.
I just want one trip.
Just one trip.
Don't talk to each other.
Give each other space.
Just fucking,
just fuck off for a second.
Yeah.
Say that to each other.
They just fuck off for a minute.
Like,
yeah.
I'll fuck off.
If you guys were really friends,
if you guys were ever really friends,
you could walk over and be like,
hey,
can you just fuck off for like a couple days?
Just leave me alone for a bit
while I figure this whole shit out.
Do you think we're going to get like a fake come together of
Audrey and Austin breaking up and Craig like being a shoulder to cry on?
No.
No.
See,
I think if Sally wasn't there, we would.
But because Sally's there and she's going to make it all about herself and then Austin's
going to be flirting back and like you just broke up with a girlfriend.
Like maybe this isn't the right time to do this.
But you are single.
So it's okay technically.
It's a technicality.
But I do think if Sally wasn't there, I do think we would have some weird faux conversation
about Craig.
Not saying I told you so, but hey, man, like heard you guys broke up.
Like really sorry for you.
You know, is everything all right?
It would be like enough of that.
But I don't think there's a chance we get it,
but I don't think it happens at all because Sally's there.
I don't think we're going to get that.
I think we will get the quintessential.
I told you so moment.
And that's what I was bummed out about as we talked about earlier.
Because this felt like what Austin was going to do regardless.
And now it's going to be chalked up to,
well, you listen to me and Shep.
And you should have listened to me in Shep because you led that poor girl on for way too long,
even though you didn't know what her name was until two weeks ago,
but that's neither here nor there.
Local news is in decline across Canada,
and this is bad news for all of us.
With less local news, noise, rumors, and misinformation fill the void,
and it gets harder to separate truth from fiction.
That's why CBC News is putting more journalists in more places across Canada,
reporting on the ground from where you live,
telling the stories that matter to all of us,
Because local news is big news.
Choose news, not noise.

He's sitting on that dock having a moment with Rod.
What do they call it?
Brokeback Pond.
And they're sitting there.
And the first thing he says,
like staring off into the sunset over the water is,
and I just really think about Audrey.
Like,
that's fucking sad.
Like,
he's going through it.
She's so excited they broke up.
She forgets the fact that Austin just had a breakup.
Like that just happened.
And here,
like she went to Wittner's mom and asked for a map to see if there's like a weird
tunnel that leads underground from compound.
And she's like,
Wait, where's Austin at?
Okay, Mrs. Wittner, do you have a,
do you have a map that I can,
I can sneakily get around here?
Like, she,
Sally's the type of girl.
She just met Wittner's mom.
And she's probably telling Wittner's mom that she wants to fuck Austin.
Like that's what I'm,
that's what I'm envisioning.
Yeah,
these all bootlegging tunnels under the property.
We used to run moonshot out of here.
Sally's going to get lost in the tunnels.
Yeah.
Yeah,
there's all this like,
parrot heads and all this shit just like,
it's just like,
Jimmy Buffett's.
like,
like tour gear,
like his groupers
there's a Margaritaville under there.
I know there's a whole
Margarita Bill under there.
Wait a minute.
That would be sick,
actually.
But we're just going to have to learn
how to endure it.
I think,
you know,
like,
oh man,
Austin looks sexy as shit right now.
And I think scenes
from next week
we get,
I want Austin's dick.
We're just going to have to be able to move on
and not get stuck on.
I don't want to deal with it.
I just don't know.
It's coming.
No pun intended.
So we got that.
And jobs left him right.
Look, it's just, it was an offhanded comment by Rod, but now when I look at Sally,
it's just like, oh, you're just giving everybody hand jobs.
That's what you do.
Hand job, Sally.
Oh, boy.
That took a turn.
Well, Craig and Charlie are talking.
And Charlie fills Craig in about what's going on.
You know, I heard this from Sally.
Here's my problem.
Okay.
When Craig gets information, the way.
that he talks about both himself, the people talking about him and the situation as a whole,
this, he sounds like he's a therapist or something.
Yeah.
The way that he-
Chat-GPT therapist.
Which is so funny.
But like, that's the way he breaks things down.
It's like, man, like, I hate what other people get involved in my life.
And like, sorry, I'm just super ultra-sensitive to people getting involved in my stuff.
All right, dude, time out.
because, and we see this when you talk to Sally shortly, for some reason, if rumors are told to you by somebody else, about somebody else, that's different than when somebody brings something to you.
For example, when Sally's tried to tell you what she heard from Shep, all right, well, let's ask Shep.
I don't care to ask Shep.
I'm in control of myself.
I told you I'm telling the truth.
And that's my truth.
All right, fine.
Where was that grace for Austin when you heard through Shep that he was doing a shit with girls in New York City?
You cannot have this wildly obvious blatant double standard and then hold people accountable in the way in which you hold them accountable.
Because the way that you do it is so end all be all, so matter of fact, so holier than now that you don't give them a chance for any wiggle room, but you in turn want to have all of the wiggle room.
You should trust me because I'm telling you that it's true.
But you don't let anyone else do that ever, even if they're telling the truth.
You don't even take the time to get all of the information involved in the scenario before jumping to a conclusion.
And because you're so matter of fact about everything, you act as though that's gospel.
You take one shred of not even evidence, just shred of a rumor.
And you're like, well, that's true.
And I'm going to tell everyone it's true.
and I'm also going to use it as a teaching moment to explain to Austin why he's a piece of shit and wants my life.
That's not fair.
It's not reasonable.
It's irrational behavior.
And it's getting to the point now where I feel like he's gaslighting me at home.
I think he is, actually.
And it's not working.
I'll tell you so much.
But it's giving a big fat liar.
When you don't want to bring anybody else in when someone comes to you with information that someone else said about you,
if it's a lie, yeah, you can laugh it off and be like, well, that's fucking ridiculous.
Nothing anyone's bringing you about your own behavior or the things that you're saying is ridiculous enough that you can laugh it off.
No.
But it does warrant if it's a lie bringing that third party in.
Let's just go ask chef because that's not what I said.
Like there's normal ways to address this.
Sure.
I never fucking said that.
Like, why would I say that, Sally?
I told you that we were done.
Like I didn't see anything romantic.
You told me you had feelings for me.
And I said, yeah, I don't think that's going to work out.
Why would I then go and compare you to Charlie or do any of these things and say,
Charlie's going to fall in love with me and I'm worried that she's going to get hurt too.
That doesn't make any sense.
Like just saying it out loud right now, no normal human would say that.
Like I don't even know if Craig said this.
That's the thing.
When he's lying, I don't know if it's a lie or not because it's so ridiculous.
Like it very well could be.
I'm leaning towards he said something along those lines.
Yeah, same.
But it still sounds fucking ridiculous that any normal person would say this.
And if you're not lying, you should have won an approach of, well, that's fucking insane.
I would never do that.
Or let's bring Shep over here.
And if you're not doing either of those things, then it tells me your lie because you're keeping it in-house.
Like, no, no, you and I are going to deal with this.
I'm going to tell you a 55 times in a row that I didn't do this.
It's like, okay, can I ask the source of this information to corroborate anything?
No, no, I can't go outside of this.
Absolutely.
You're going to see that as me gossiping about you.
if I go back to the source and say,
hey, what was that you said about Craig?
What was he talking about when it came to Charlie?
Okay, cool.
So it does line up with what you're saying.
Then Craig's going to have an issue with Shep.
And like, if you're keeping it in-house, you're lying.
And like, he might not even be lying.
That's how irrational his behavior is.
And not for nothing,
but that's what you said verbatim about Sally.
Yeah.
So when you say to Sally,
when you hear something that so blatantly doesn't sound like
me brother that does sound like you because as you just said shoots no normal person would say something
like that you would Craig you say weird shit like this and you've already said it to somebody else
this season so do I believe that that could have happened I did like 70% and now that you're
trying to talk your way out of it with Sally I believe it a hundred percent I do think that
this happened but I cannot keep hearing him be so condescending to
to people that he doesn't agree with.
Like, don't sit there and gaslight a woman by saying you're overwhelmed.
You're so overwhelmed, Sally.
That's so fucking rude.
Like, that, that's misogynistic.
He doesn't even realize he's being that way.
But you're, like, belittling her.
It's like, oh, sweet girl with your feelings.
You're overwhelmed right now.
You're tuckered out.
Why don't you go take a seat?
Like, that's fucked.
But that's a crank move where he's like,
I have a better read on the situation than everybody else here.
because I talked to Chat GPT before this,
and you're overwhelmed, honey.
Why don't you go take a breather?
Go have a spritz and like relax a little bit, huh?
That's the vibe it gave me.
I really fucking hated it.
Like, it really rubbed me the wrong way.
I wonder if we can ask ChatGPT what they told Craig.
Like, hey, chat GPT, what did you tell Craig?
On Southern Charg's therapist.
Craig on Southern Charm, just like dig into that data
because it might be free data.
There's not a whole lot of-
I don't know.
We might be able to figure this out.
Like, hey, give me a rundown of what you and Craig talked about.
Like, what made him cry?
Because I got to know.
I got to know what the fuck's going on over here.
How often does he use you?
How often does he use you as a therapist?
I need to know these things.
Maybe chat GPT.
Does he have a real therapist?
These are all things that chat GPT could tell us.
Data mining.
Yeah.
Who knows?
By the way, did you know that chat GPT is recording people's?
This is like a PSA out there.
They're recording your conversations and notified the police about
certain things. Did you know that? That's happening.
We're getting minority reported. Yeah, conversations with a precogs. I love precogs.
We make conversations about like nefarious activities. Like I don't know.
If somebody typed in like how do I do this and it's like a terroristic threat and chat
I don't know this is what I would do. Let me walk you through it.
A completely fictitious situation. Yes, this is how I would handle this.
Here's how you build a pipe bomb.
First grab a box cutter.
Like, yeah, I think maybe along those lines, probably, I'm okay with that in a way.
I don't know what the specifics are.
I'm just, yeah, I don't know.
People are going back to their respective cabins to get ready.
And you get Sally kind of reinvigorated because she's walking back with Molly and Charlie.
And she gets all gassed up about Craig again.
She's like, I know he said this.
I need you to know he said it.
Read the room.
she she doesn't want to hear about it doesn't care no like that's the biggest thing like he could have
said that by the way but one because it's coming from you it doesn't matter and two because she wants
to see where this goes as a grown up she's not going to register this as a real thing no matter
what you say you can show her a recording of it and she'll go talk to craig about it and they'll
probably be okay and move forward from that moment like there's no win here in which craig and charlie are
gone. You delivered the information. That's enough. You're done. Yeah. Your job is finished. You gave her
the information. You didn't even have to go that far, but that's more than enough. You gave it to her,
see what she does with it. If she wants to go talk to Craig about the thing that she heard from Sally and
Craig does it, that's the other funny thing. If Charlie goes over to Craig and says, hey, we had an
interesting car ride up. Sally told me that you've been telling the other guys that I'm going to fall madly
in love with you and then you might hurt me. What do you have to say about that? It's a different
conversation. He's going to handle her with kid gloves because she's a romantic entrance.
Well, that's what I'm saying. But like, the comparison between the two is just like, of course,
he's going to spin it in a different way because you're still an interest in his love life.
Yeah. If you weren't and you're in Sally's position, it's going to be much like Sally's
conversation. So it's like if you're Sally, like enough. Again, I almost would prefer her to just keep
making dick jokes about Austin and like, yeah, me too, jump his bones rather than doing this.
I'm down for that. I don't want to hear.
hear that conversation with them.
And I don't want to hear Craig go.
I'm just really protective of you.
No.
Uh,
blah.
Shut up.
You guys aren't even dating.
Like,
fuck.
That's why people think you're going to fucking burner because of things like that.
That sounds awful love bomby, sir.
Mm-hmm.
Anyway,
Rod and Austin are getting ready.
Austin's going through it.
He's got a pimple.
That's not a pimple in like 20 years.
An old stress pimple.
You just,
just see him. Like, you know, I felt for him this episode. He really is going through it a little bit.
His personal life's a little nuts. His dating life's a little nuts. He's just trying to get through
this phase. Rod, I can't say enough good things about Rod and the season that he's having. I mean,
he's always been great on this show, but he's really finding his spot in this group. And it's more
towards the top than I would have envisioned like last year. Like, he really is settling in somewhere
as the voice of reason.
And somebody that everyone in the cast really respects his opinion,
we really needed that on this show.
Somebody needs to tell Andy that because he's sitting last seat at the reunion.
That's wild.
Wild.
That's disrespectful to our boy, Rod.
You get him at least mid-seat, if not further another front.
Rod reposted the seating chart and said, that's okay.
I'll just have to carry my big-ass voice even further so Andy can hear me.
I'll think he's leaning into it.
But Shep and Craig are also having.
having a conversation.
And, you know, when you see these two talking, I mean, pretty much Shep talking with
anybody, you're not going to get a whole lot of depth out of this.
You're going to get him agreeing.
And that's what we see because Craig's like, first of all, Craig frames it differently than
it was actually posed.
And of course, Shep's like, I never said that you loved her.
Nobody said that.
That's not what we're talking about.
What are we doing here?
Jerry Seinfeld doesn't like it either.
Like, that's not the conversation.
But now you're sitting there stroking Craig Zigo.
He's like, Craig Conover is the most respectful of women in the world.
And Craig's like, oh, shucks, say it again.
Say it slower this time because you're getting me all hot and bothered.
I don't want to see this.
Can we just get everyone really fucking drunk at Wittner's Pool and have a fun night?
Just a fun, goofy night for the love of God.
That was the funny thing that Wittner even said on the ride up.
He's like, I'd rather not have a Java field weekend in front of my parents.
Yeah, same.
What?
Like, we don't either.
We're on your side to happen.
No, it's not.
But like, I just want them to go up there, throw caution to the wind, leave your
bullshit at the front of the property and go have fun with each other again.
Like, there's too much weird vibes in this crew right now.
There's a lot of weird vibes.
And like I thought weird vibes when like one person's,
weird. Yeah. I don't need
this much weird. It's a different brand
to weird too. It's not fun
weird. It's like off putting.
Drama, dark off putting.
Like, ah, yeah, you guys are bizarre.
Like you guys, yeah, you walk into a bar and you see
this group in the corner over there. Yeah, exactly.
From them, it's not like,
oh, they could be fun later, like around
1 o'clock when everybody's fucked up. No,
they're going to be bizarre. They might be fighting.
They might all be making out together.
I'm going to stay. Yeah. It's that kind of
vibe. But they're all weirdly touching each
other always like they're always making physical contact it's that group we all know that
group they're really touchy feelings comes over and she's like hey how are you can i get you
drink you like no no no no no god no no no you with them yeah please leave actually we're
leaving i'm gonna go smoke a cigarette i don't even smoke yeah but anyway we'll see how this
trip goes i have no clue i think we have a chance for sally to lighten the mood with just the
Austin stuff if people lean into that a little bit.
I don't know because we also get a couple of scenes from later and it's like she is
just fiending literally for Austin's pee-p his dick not like pee.
No, she's like foaming and she literally says I want Austin's dick.
We get that.
That's a scene from next week.
Yeah, I know.
I don't want to talk about it until next week.
This is the group of the.
This is the group in the corner, and I like it.
Nope, not a fan.
Let's get this some questions.
First up from Sarah Polarty, thoughts on if your opinion of Sally has changed again after this episode.
Sure has.
I think this actually cemented where she is.
I don't think we're going to change our opinion again.
We're going to chalk her up to good for the show.
She's good for the show.
Oh, good.
Sierra and McDee, do you think Sally just need to take a cold shower every so often?
then the desperation is mental.
Yeah.
A cold shower could go a long way for her.
Yeah, it's tough, man.
It's tough.
Alex Britain 95.
When did Shep and Craig become close?
I thought they had a beef.
Shep will hold on to these friendships for dear life because he almost lost them.
You got to remember that part of it.
He is so afraid to be alone.
He almost lost Austin and Craig multiple times.
So he's going to agree with.
both of them most of the time.
Yeah. Yep.
Uh, C-Right FAM 6.
Would the bros go to a dinner like that?
All expenses paid, but you have to eat with Whitney.
No, we wouldn't because Whitney's on the Epstein list.
Yeah, Whitney's on the fucking Epstein list.
No, you couldn't pay me anything to go.
Even without, even without that new information that we just got last week, still no.
I wouldn't do that.
I wouldn't do that before.
And now, absolutely fucking not.
What a creep.
Oh, this is a good point from C. Hurley 44.
We waited this long to mention Uncle Jimmy Buffett.
Yeah, I was floored.
Like, you lead with that, Wittner.
Next time you're on a reality show, if this doesn't work out, you lead with that shit.
No, I don't know, man.
I love the fact that he, he is like an onion.
You got to peel this layers back.
The fact that we fell in love with him before Jimmy Buffett, like, that's a credit to him.
Oh, love.
I don't know about love.
Yeah, a little.
Fell and like.
we fell in like i i love the follow-up too from see hurley 44 do we think mom or dad's sister married jimmy
buffett i i don't know does it matter yeah who cares
it's a weird question about i like it there's a lot of people echoing that craig is just
a fucking lunatic yeah how much of a fucking prick is craig i think craig's having a midlife
crisis does it seem like chef is scared of craig 100% absolutely yes
Sally was spot on calling the guy's band children and Craig with the gaslighting.
Yes, he's the gaslight king.
It's fucking outrageous to watch.
Let's do a funny one.
There are any funny ones?
Looking.
Oh, this is just kind of funny because it's so offbeat from Molina Chanel.
Is Craig really starting to like Charlie?
I think they're cute together, but is he over page?
That is not the problem.
that's just i'm sorry but that is just not the problem right now it may that is great seems like
he likes her is he over page i don't fucking now i can't tell that's i love that question just
completely disregard everything about the episode and just let's let's talk about that um i agree
weirdly that they're kind of cute together he's got a fucking burner like oh wait did you steam
so um there's a weird conspiracy theory going on with charleston so charlie at
And Naomi, apparently the brands that Naomi owns or is part owner to, she models for herself, like she's up on the website.
Charlie is a model of that brand, of Naomi's brand.
It's bizarre.
I know that Charleston's incestuous.
And yet, every time that somebody brings forth new information, I'm blown away by it.
That's, that's, what a strange town, huh?
Do one more.
in B. Mangram 0727.
I think Craig is having a midlife crisis.
Let's just end it on that.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mentioned that one, but I agree.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, it's kind of, we're in chaos mode right now.
Ironically, that's how the episode ended with them calling Sally an agent of chaos,
which again, I don't like the tone in which they're talking about her.
I know she's wacky and like we've obviously made some jokes here,
but like there is a misogynist tone going on with you,
Gregory and you're hiding behind Shep saying,
he's the least misogynist person in the whole world.
I love my friend Craig.
Please don't leave me ever.
But yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
This is a weird place.
I don't think we've ever been in this spot with Southern Charm before.
No, no, it's weird than usual.
I don't really care for it.
But yeah, we're, we're,
getting there.
Maybe things will start to get better.
We'll see.
Here's the good thing.
This is the only episode of Bravo that I've watched of late where I'm like,
oh, that's a weird episode.
Everything else is like firing on all cylinders right now.
So.
Good thing for Bravo.
Not a good thing for Southern Joe.
Nah, but I'm sure they'll be fine.
They always rally back.
But that's all I got.
You got anything else?
Nope.
Let's our show.
Damn.
Rob Bros are out of here.
Wait, I did it right. God damn it.
It's been a long day.
It's been a long day.
Love you guys.
See you next time.
Let's just change it entirely.

You might know it as the time when Bridgeton takes place
or the time when Jane Austen wrote her books,
But the Regency Era was also an explosive time of social change, sex scandals, and maybe the worst king in British history.
And on the Vulgar History podcast, we're going to be looking at the balls, the gowns, and all the scandal of the Regency era.
Vulgar History is a women's history podcast, and our Regency Era series will be focusing on the most rebellious women of this time.
That includes Jane Austen herself, who is maybe more radical than you might have thought.
We'll also be talking about queer icons like Anne Lister, scientists like Mary Anning and Ada Lovelace, as well as other scandalous actresses, royal mistresses, rebellious princesses, and other lesser-known figures who made history happen in England in the Regency era.
Listen to vulgar history wherever you get podcasts.
