Bros & Shows - New Vows in New York (RHONY Full Recap, Crappie Lake Finale Full Recap)

Episode Date: August 23, 2023

What's up Bro's?! We bid farewell to what was a delightful first season of Crappie Lake. Sonja and Luann are putting on the town talent show, Benton Follies, and it's a beautiful send off for the ladies. The show was heartwarming even though Steel is a tough critic. The overall sentiment of this episode is that not only did Sonja and Luann have a huge impact on the town, the town left its mark on them as well. The people of Benton are sad to see our RHONY OG's leave and we the viewers were sad to see the show come to an end. It was a perfect ending to a great season. Then we're back in NYC and Erin is getting ready to "renew" her vows, but it's actually the first time her and Abe are saying vows. Unfortunately Ubah has covid so she isn't going to make it to the party, but we find out that Jenna has broken up with her girlfriend of a year and a half. Although according to her it may have been an on and off scenario. Jessel and Pavit are discussing whether or not to send the twins to private pre-school (to the sum of $62,000.00) and aren't seeing eye to eye. Jessel and Erin have both agreed to move forward in their relationship and start over with a clean slate. At the party, Brynn goes overboard when flirting with Abe and we see the ladies get in trouble when they decide to talk during the 45 minutes of speeches. At the end of the episode we see Sai leave early so that she can go next door to NoBu because the food at Erin's party just won't cut it...

Don't miss Swiped, a new movie inspired by the provocative real-life story of the visionary founder of online dating platform Bumble. Played by Lily James, Swiped introduces recent college grad Whitney Wolfe as she uses grit and ingenuity to break into the male-dominated tech industry to become the youngest female self-made billionaire. An official selection of the Toronto International Film Festival, the Hulu original film Swiped, is now streaming only on Disney Plus. As there's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a... 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, and welcome back to another episode of Brav Bros. Your favorite podcast from The Bros for everybody. For whoever wants to listen, I am your co-host, Steel Russell, Going, as always, by the one and only, Studio Magoutes. What's up, dude?

Studio Magoutes, we are in our new studio. You would think that we went and bought a whole new studio? No. Steele just had another room that we'd go to. This is my third room. This is my back room. This is like where I hibernate. I got like a wood fire stove.

It's a very cozy vibe back here. It is. But we used to have this gigantic sectional that was from my old house. And it was a great couch, but it took up so much space. And then our coffee table is a great coffee table, but it was massive. It's like one of those farm door Johns. Yep.

So it just wasn't a very functional room. And devs down the shore, and I've got a lot of time on my hands here. I was like, you know what? It's time. It's time to turn us in to Stutie Bros. And we're going to, as you can see, we've got a couple of things in here.

And by C, I mean YouTube, you can see a couple of things over here. Should we go through it? Nah, no, we'll do that like a reveal at some point. Okay, yeah. I do have to just point out. the chips because you didn't even understand it. I thought it was a cool idea.

There's a hers competition going on in Philadelphia for like the Philly flavored chip. So one is a tomato pie chip, which is Corpolis. And the other one is a roast pork chip, which is John's roast pork, which is actually the original Philly sandwich before the cheese steak. I love that you looked at me when you say Corpolis because you had to say that wrong. I say Coropolis for a very long time, but Dev's given me enough shit for it that I've corrected myself. Greek.

I think somebody already won. I thought it was the tomato pie. Oh, was it? Competition's over. We'll have to look into that. Oh, so you're telling me those roast pork ones are limited a dish? I think they are. I honestly thought that you were collecting them, and I'm like, are they going to hold value?

Maybe. Oh, you thought I was actually. I don't know, but we have them. Could be. Yeah, now we got them. I'm not going to eat those, so. Now we got them. But I actually have a bone to pick, and my bone to pick is with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Oh, boy. Okay. They had influencer night last night. And we didn't get invited. And it was, I was, I was going. Going through the stories, there were people that had podcasts. There were people that were just online influencers. All of them are like in our realm or below our realm.

I love. We fucking talk about the, and this is going back, I think it's the goddamn review that we got, where whoever said you guys got to give the Phillies a little bit more love, people don't realize last year during the World Series, we talked about the Phillies every single episode. To the point that we had people in different cities that don't even watch sports rooting for the Phillies. Yeah. We've done more for the Philadelphia Phillies than anybody else has done.

There's Philly stuff in here. World Series 2022 in the cabinet. It's horseshit. So I'm going to call to action to our fans go after the Phillies for not inviting us. These people got customized jerseys that said their name on the back. We could have had one of us could have wore braw, the other one bros, and we just stand next to each other. Would have been perfect. I think we got a little missed up.

We got to start lobbying for next season. Yeah, we got hosed. Oh, man. That's a bummer. Absolutely. I do love your. phrasing, there's people that are below us. They're beneath us, and they're getting right.

Go Braves. Fuck. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. We're done. This is over. It's just a goof. It's not a goof when we're pushing towards October right now.

You need to know your time and place, sir. I don't care for it. They need to know their time in place. You can't come into the studie bro and get all kind of like. Negative energy. No, do not, not on that. That couch just screams positive energies. You know what I bring to the table?

Negative energy. Yeah, you're fucking walking bummer. but we've had a wild week actually i haven't gotten to say that in a while um but with all the the bethany frankle shit going on and our interview with or sorry our live with zach we've gotten a lot of feedback through tic talk we've had a big week the bros jumped the charts which it was really funny at first i didn't realize that bethany had three podcasts until zach told us i knew she had two she's got three of them and one of them she had any she got i also don't give a shit. She's got unfriended, no,

unfluenced. Yeah, unfriended. Unfluenced, rewives, and just B. So she's got three. We were ranked 32nd. She was 31st with unfluenced. We've overtaken unfluenced. We're above her now, but I did. So she's beneath us? She's beneath us. Her podcast is at least. Shout out Phillies. And woo, but I screenshot us next to Bethany. I'm going to post it at some point. It's like

just kind of, it kind of sums up what the last week has been. But let's jump right into our power rankings for the week. And actually, you know, before we do that, I just have to say thank you to all of our listeners, all the responses that I got when I shared my story. I didn't have a chance to say this on our last episode because we've been dealing with Frank Hell. But the response was amazing. It's overwhelming, honestly, in a very positive way. A lot of people reached out with their stories. A lot of people have reached out and said how my story has either helped them or resonated with them. I can't thank everybody enough.

That was the most special milestone I've had, I think, in my sobriety, other than maybe my first year just because of the significance. But thank you guys. I'm speechless. I'm really speechless, and I love you all, and I'm going to stop because I have cried enough this past weekend. I don't want to cry anymore. But power rankings.

Our rankings it is. And also, Steele is not wearing a medal for his five years of sobriety. He's wearing a medal for softball? Yeah, baby. Hayday Champions, for those of you on YouTube, you can see I'm wearing a medal. That's actually really funny. This is not my five-year sobriety chip. This is my heyday softball champions medal.

Co-ed softball Sundays. Philly Gaines team, we are the best. The Philly Gaines team? Oh, my God. My team, first of all, I love my team. It's like a very good crew. and a few of them are also in recovery and I've just gotten along with a lot of them

I've cooked food for some of them in bulk every week because they're all bodybuilders so when my team shows up to the field it's fucking comical because it's like the biggest human beings you've ever seen like five or six of them me two girls

and then some randos that come and go but my team literally walks up and they look like they're carrying suitcases they're not they're just so gigantic and they're, like, actual competitive bodybuilders. And it's the Philly game steer. That's what sucks. But see, this is what bugs me about slow-pitched softball is,

one, I was a professional athlete, so I do not have a 60%. When I go play softball, I act like I'm back in front of a crowd, and I go way too hard, and I injure myself every week. This happens every Sunday. It takes me two or three days to be able to walk again. Totally worth it. The other thing, when I lose to a team of, of like 12 people that look like you, it really bugs me.

It really pisses me off because I don't like losing to a bunch of narps. And we do. We have some innings where we just shit the bed and we lose to a bunch of narps. I don't think you're a narp. I know you're athletic. I just wanted to use you as a reference. That's fair. But also, my first thought was, is this a home run league?

And if it's not, then you guys are severely, I guess. Yeah, our cardio is not great. Our cardio is not great. But no, you can hit home runs. but enough about my softball championship medal. Thank you so much. Power rankings, baby, power rank it is. Which show is going to get this bad boy this week?

Yeah. I mean, we've got one final week to bid farewell to Crappy Lake. Got to put it at number one. There's just no other way around it. And it's not to say that the other shows are lacking at all. That was a solid week, actually. It's just that crappy was better than everything else. And it has been consistently.

I agree. I agree. You got to keep going, no. Oh, yeah. Sure, fair enough. And then I'm going to throw Atlanta and New York have kind of been jockeying back and forth. I still have New York a little bit ahead of Atlanta. I think that Atlanta is going to end well. I think that the end of the season is going to be really good.

I think there's a lot of turmoil and a lot of stuff based off of Kenya's interview that we, she was with Carlos King earlier this week, so there's a lot of stuff coming out from there. So it seems like there's a tumultuous end of the season, and we don't really know where we are. So I think that that's going to be good. Hopefully New York continues to just kind of trudge along and pay. up some viewers along the way. O.C. I don't even remember watching O.C. This is like... Oh, it was a week

off last week. Well, I know, but I don't remember what happened before then. I don't... It just doesn't stay with me. I'm not invested in it at all, and it's this is just a weekly occurrence now for me just putting them way down there. I think that's a perfect way to put it. Is it... It's next to impossible

for me to get invested in that show. I've tried, I've tried to pay attention. I've tried to give them, like, all the benefit of the doubt. But as far as like giving a shit i really cannot i really don't and every time i try to to kind of dive in or i start to buy into it then tamer does some shit i'm like oh i hate it i hate i hate all of it so my power rankings are as follows crappy lake number one because out of respect they did a great job i love the sign on the way out we'll talk about it in a minute two for me is roney

i i love it i really do love this franchise and maybe that's biased because i like that we're ringing it in a little bit and three is Atlanta but it is close and then 15 is O.C. Okay. So O.C. actually moved up in your rankings. From last week, no, they were 26 last week. All right. And you know what?

They moved up on a biweek. They did. Love that. So at least they didn't lose the by week. That's the joke we make about the Cowboys every time. It's like, oh, yeah. Cowboys won a biweek. Actually, they lost against the by week.

Yeah, they do every year. But, yeah, good for O.C. for moving up, I guess. But let's dive right in. We're going to start out with a little farewell to a, Our Ladies of Crappy. But that takes us to Crappy Lake, and I thought that we were going to get more performances to the point that I have, the ones that they did show, I rated them out of 10. So I felt that I was the judge.

Let's see it to the next level. I'm proud of you for that. Well, I feel like we were the judges, and then, like, they skipped through the ones I wanted to see. The dude that was so stoked to play his guitar, he gets cut out. I know. The other guy that wanted to play guitar. He gets cut out.

Like the ones we saw were underwhelming. But we'll get to the scores. But what did you think of this episode? I thought it was a touching farewell. It was what we've been talking about. And maybe this is kind of how it goes when we watch these shows analytically. And we kind of pay attention to a lot more than maybe the average viewer because we're really just there to enjoy it. We're just there to kind of get through.

It's just something you throw on TV. But we're actually freely watching it. So we've been talking about this pretty much the entire season. about how these townspeople have come around to them. And that was the key to this entire episode. So it probably didn't hit as hard than it would have if we weren't really paying attention to that. You know what I mean? That's a good point.

I think that was the symbolism for the entire episode was, look at all these like hard towns people in the Midwest, how they came around to these two women that they thought were posh coming from New York and they didn't know anything about anything. They are posh. Watch Craig fucking cry. He's cried multiple times. I know, poor guy.

I love Craig. I love Craig too. I think that he embodies what the town is. Yes. A little bit rough. You know, a little bit tough, a little bit rough. But in the middle there, deep down, there's a big old heart. There's a big old heart on Craig.

What? You heard what I said. Craig's got a big old heart on. Yep. But let's get to the show. Paula comes back. Paula Abdul liked a tweet that we were mentioned in. She did.

What the fuck? Full circle. It was that was the same tweet. Oh, and also, there was a follow-up. I know it's not Rosen Thorne Week, but there was a follow-up from the guy who commented and said, oh, man, the bros broke up. I don't even like them at all. What happened?

He went in and he put another tweet out there saying, I didn't really, I couldn't put myself through an hour of listening to them. What the fuck, dude? Fuck you, but. Now we're giving them more air time. You don't give a shit. And so he relied, I guess, on one of his friends who does listen to us to go give him the timestamp of when we mentioned it. He's like, I guess I was mentioned as, like, a thorn.

Wow, I've really made it. It's like, nah, dude, you haven't made it. You didn't make shit, buddy. But whatever. But he were talking about it. But yeah, so Paula, Paula liked one of those, not his tweet. She liked one of the tweets that was satirical talking about how we had broken up. Yeah.

Love that. Love we got a little Paula. But the show starts and the cue cards, just the fact that they had cue cards was so funny. Yeah. I love that on the back of the cue cards was a big X of what they had written originally. you couldn't have covered that up like the audience is going to sit there and read that the whole time yes absolutely i was trying to read it like the brief moment that they showed it i kept trying to read what was on there but i don't think you need cue cards for it i again i appreciate

some was cut out they probably said a lot more they had to a for a cue card yeah but i do like it's this weird middle ground i appreciate that luan so invested but at the same time like it stresses me out like when the mic the anthem singer doesn't have oh yeah yeah that's like panic i'm like it's not a big deal like it's a talent show for Benton like but at the same time I don't know it's whatever it doesn't it's not the national anthem singer without a mic stressed me out not Louis it was stressful but I don't know let's go through so anthem with no mic um I gave a six out of ten I was a tough critic yeah I gave six out of ten for that one uh the next one was the drummers they got a six and a half for creativity yeah that's it yeah because like I've seen that

before. Banging on a trash can. Is that Doug? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, there's still a 6.5 though. Damn. Mega Mix.

Mega Mix was originally a 5 out of 10. I gave them a 6 out of 10 because they're children. I felt bad. But I thought that the dance routines were. This is wild. This is like, this is probably what you feel when I talk all the time. Like, this is brutal.

Keep going. I was a tough critic. Carolyn Williams gets a 7 out of 10 because I like the old. old-timey piano, I thought it was random as hell. And the fact that she's 80-something, she automatically gets a higher score. Okay. And then the final one was the Benton song, was a four out of ten. Yeah, I would agree with that one.

That's probably the only one that I agree with. The trash cans, I'm going to give a seven and a half. The old lady playing the piano. Why did they get an extra point? Because it was creative. Not really. Wasn't that bad? Just sang banging on a trash can, which is from Doug in the 90s.

Okay. That's not original. It was creative. Okay. You're the guy that walks downtown in Philly, and there's one guy playing, like, a PVC pipe, and you stand there for like 20 minutes. Without doubt. A thousand percent, that is me, and I will give him money. Oh, I go, I...

They're great. I will always give them money. Yep. But I don't... And I think it's cool. I can't do it. Sometimes I'm not, like, in a rush. You know, it's just nice to not be in a rush.

You're walking around the city. It's nice out. If it's a nice, cool night. Waiting for your friends to get somewhere, because I usually get places before they get there, because all of our friends are notoriously late. You as well. Included, yeah. And I don't include, yeah. And I will not be in a rush.

I'll be walking around. Yeah, there's a dude playing on a PVC pipe. I'm going to stop by and say hello. I'll give some money. Everyone's smile, stop and listen. I think it's cool. You're going to make me sound like I don't think it's cool. I don't think it's like a bad thing.

I'm just not. I stand by six and a half out of ten. Okay. Keep going. Megamix. Uh, that was the only one that I wanted to correct. Everything else is fine, I guess.

I don't know. It's passive aggressive. I don't like that. But the only other thing really to talk about is like the sign-off when they're leaving the town and you know me of course i got fucking choked i i was really close i was so like way closer than i should have been because when they pull out it's so sweet like they had no clue they were going to be there genuinely i think they were surprised that they were standing there were sides i had what did they drive there i think so i thought about that a thousand

times why are they driving either they were produced and they knew it was going to happen or two i I thought maybe they're taking the car to the airport. Maybe it's a rental and they're returning it. They pulled into a parking spot out front of the... Yeah, and got out. But then they got back in the car and drove out of town. Yeah, they did. Don't take away from the moment.

They were going there for... They knew that these are smart with it. I'm not taking away from the moment. I'm just saying the idea that they didn't know what was going to happen. Sonia sobbed in Luann's arms. Would have cried either way, probably. Yeah, that's true. But it was a touch of scene.

You cried into your dog's arms. I cry too much. We've talked about this, but it wasn't. There was a touching scene. Craig gets teary-eyed again when he's talking about him, and it goes through the townspeak and everyone's talking about how obviously the initial impression of these women when they got out of the car, or sorry, that private jet is one thing. And then, fast forward, I think it's a credit to Sony and the Wend. I'm not sure that any other housewives duo could have pulled this off as successfully, as genuinely, and as heartfelt as these two did.

I am sure that there is no other duo that could have done that. There really isn't. It's funny because I thought that too, as we were kind of signing off on the whole show, I was thinking the exact same thing. There's no way that there's another housewife duo that could have done this. And we talked about this couple of weeks ago, what could this show look like moving forward? I think that you need another season still of them.

I guess I'm okay if they go to Benton. And I did like that Sonia was talking to, I forget who it was, but she was talking to one of the women from Benton about the playground. And she said, I'm around to Benton, like coming back to that. I've come around to coming back to Benton. Yeah, only because this one moment kind of resonated with me where Sonia was talking to the woman about the playground. And she said, I'll give you a call in a couple of weeks. We can do like this, this, this, and this for the playground. So they still are invested in it.

You know, maybe it was a throwaway line. Maybe it was just nice, but it seemed really genuine. I really don't think it was. I think that it's genuine. I think there's a follow-up there. You know what I think sealed them? What's that? To be like, fuck, yeah, I will go back when they pull it out of town and they are the first

thing you see when he's driving to Benton. Yeah. Or it says, Benton, like, there's no place better. Look, I know that a lot of people took Umbridge with me talking about Benton being like a destination for Bravo fans to go to. No, you were right. You were right. I don't think that I'm 100% right.

No, no. You already are right. Like, Benton, I forget. Dev read an article about tourism in Benton blew up. fucking idiots. I told you I was right. I knew I was right. You're all idiots. I'm always right. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. But yeah,

no, it turned out. I got to get on Zach, too, because I said something to Zach and Zach said, no way would they go to Benton. Like, no, you're wrong, Zach. Yeah, no, people did. They showed up to Benton. I think that it actually did pump a lot of life into the town. And I think that's why, yeah, I'll go back. I want to go back for a while. With that being said,

now that we know that there's tourism going back to Benton, I actually changed change it again go to a different town because i was thinking about this at the end of the episode you know is it would be really hard to capture that lightning in a bottle once again with a different town because you don't know if that those town people are going to come back to them and i think that it would still be really good tv to have her have both of them go back to benton to see these relationships pop back up again i think that would be really nice i think that would work but if this happens there's going to be other small towns that maybe other bravo producers work at maybe

they know about maybe it's this or that or whatever they're going to want a piece of this like they're wonder if other towns are lobbying for it like do you think that they've contacted i don't i don't know if it's going that far but i could see other people that work for bravo or like bravo adjacent that are thinking oh my aunt lives in this place in iowa and they're really struggling after covid they're at accepting townspeople maybe they could be the next town that you go to like they they might have honestly the work cut out for them the next couple of i guess couple of months to try to figure this out well i'm i'm excited to see where the show goes i think that they like you said very well it's lightning in a bottle they it worked they worked they worked it was great did it like

the show fucking worked it was great did you catch any clues at the end as to what they might do no i didn't catch anything there was no cliff there was also no like definitive goodbye no and i told you again like when i saw and heard like on the season finale of crappy lake i was like oh shit, okay, hold on. Like, I think that that is the only inkling of foreshadowing that I got. Yeah, there was no sendoff from Bravo, and there was no indication from either Sonia or Luan that, one, they'd be coming back to, they're going to be back for a second season somewhere else or anything like that.

But they also didn't say, this was really fun. I'm so happy. I mean, they did say that sort of, but they didn't say, like, I'm so happy this is a once-on-a-lifetime experience or anything like that that's kind of definitive that ends it. I don't think so. Look, here's the other part. Here's the other part. You also have to see it from a former housewife standpoint

because they got Rony Legacy, but Roney is rebooted. There is no room for them in the Rony reboot. I actually am curious if they'll start to work some of the OGs into next season. I think it's a dangerous game to play before these women are established to do that. But from a standpoint of they do not have a show to return to, you know that Sony and the Wend are going to push for another season because they want to be on Bravo.

I wonder how that worked. too because they're doing i mean that's going to be airing soon the ultimate girl's trip yeah yeah they already when did they film bent and then there's got to be some sort of overlap or did they it's hard to say i don't know because they swapped the ultimate girls trips because of caroline manzo and brandy glanville so i don't know and we already don't know timelines we're notoriously well no this is this is the best thing ever i was on twitter the other day and i forget if it was I think it was one of the more prominent Bravo pages on Twitter and Instagram

and they said we don't know which trailer we're going to get next and then lined up six shows so nobody knows it's the best okay well that makes me we're not entirely wrong it makes me feel a little bit better but not great

but final farewell crappy lake you were exactly what we needed at exactly the right time it was the little bit of light at a very dark tunnel that we've been and with a lot of very dark Bravo seasons. Agreed. So thank you, Sonia.

Thank you, Luann. Thank you, Benton. We love you. We love you. See you soon. Hopefully. There's the foreshadowing. Yeah.

But that takes us back to Rooney. And I loved this episode. I think that this was like a quintessential housewives episode. Like there was a party, there was drama, there is a lot more leading towards more drama within the group, which I think we are now at the point. I'm glad they didn't force feed us bullshit drama in the first five episodes. We're on episode six now. I only know that because I wrote it down. Good job.

But I think that's important that we're starting to see it kind of generate organically. And here's why. And you see it with Cy leaving at the end and we'll get to that eventually. But... We have precedence for that move because Sai has commented on Jenna leaving the Hampton House. Now there's a precedent set, and Cy went against that. So that's going to lead to some palpable drama because she doesn't have an excuse, really. So I'm excited to get there, but let's dive into the beginning of the episode.

We're with Jessel and Bryn shopping, and we know that Aaron's having a big party. It's her 10-year anniversary. Her and Abe, I thought they were renewing their vows. They are actually saying their vows for the first time. Yeah, I think that's pretty wild. But I also think that, like, this was kind of like how you said this is a quintessential housewives episode. I think it's important, especially early in these seasons, they are called housewives. We're getting to know the husbands a little bit more.

I like that. I like that a lot. I don't know if that's coming from just like the male perspective, and that's kind of where we are with that. But I really enjoyed that. What's the audience think? You guys know. Yeah, we're going to have to hear from the audience on that one because I like it. I liked it a lot.

I think it's also important that we like the husbands. I do, too. Between Abe, David, and Pavitt, we got pretty much everybody across the board, and I like all three of them. Well, here's why, I think, because the, and this is going to get deep, but whatever, I think, again, we talk a lot about generations, and this show is more pointed towards our generation. And in this generation, it's not the old school husband anymore that goes to work and punches the clock and comes home to a warm dinner on the table and is picking a, fence house and all that shit, which is a good thing. And I think it's important that we want to see these relationships. It's not so much. It's more of the relationships, right? It's the relationship to make sure that the guy's a cool dude, that, you know, this isn't a shitty situation that

the housewife is in. We want to see them actually get along with their spouse and see more of a team. It's more of a team, but it also gives you a little bit more insight into the housewife. I agree. Based on how her home life is. And when you start off with Abe and Aaron, see, genuinely in love they've built a whole life together they have a really good like back and forth whenever they talk whenever they're talking about really anything you can see oh yeah we've been together for 12 years we know what's going on in each other's lives we talk all the time they like each other a lot they even bring up the point of being friends if you weren't friends with your spouse or your significant other then it's probably not going to go anywhere you can't just

rest on love blah blah blah whatever and then we move right from them into david who is this the first time we're meeting David? I mean, we kind of got a glimpse of him in the first episode. He saw him in the first episode, and I liked him then. I liked him, but he was only you know, he was there for... He was there for two minutes. In those two minutes, he had some very insightful comments about

what was going on within the group. It was very... Oh, was David the one who was on FaceTime? That was Abe, I believe. Abe the Babe, yeah. Abe was on FaceTime, but we saw in the first episode he was commenting on some of the drama within the group. He was commenting on Jessel originally.

And that's when he said, like, she's been through a lot. Like, you guys need to understand. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm mixing them all up. That also wasn't the first episode. That was after the Hampton. That was, like, the third episode. Okay, well, regardless.

That's who I was thinking of, but I didn't realize it was David at the time. But either way, seeing the two of them sit down together, sigh talking to David. David has insight. He's got his own personality. It's completely different from sigh, but it works. That's great to see. We're still seeing our man Pavett just get ripped apart by Jessel. It's not fun to watch.

It's not cute. It's not great. Who's on my team, no. It's just not, like, I, if we just left it at that first episode, I'd be like, all right, whatever. Like, maybe we're just not going to get a whole lot of their relationship. But it's been every episode now. I know, man.

It's just every time, even when she talks about him, either in the confessional or to somebody else, she belittles him. Yeah. She doesn't know anything. He didn't know how to dress, and you need to dress a certain way when you're going to be with me. It's like, fucking leave him alone. And then he tries to look better and he gets his eyebrows done. And you set the terminology, how she speaks about it, like,

the word choice, that's what bugs me. Because when she's talking about him getting his eyebrows done, she said, I made him stop doing that. Yeah, I know. Made him stop. That's fucked. And it sucks because I, just before then, when she was talking about him not wanting to spend money on clothing and this and that and whatever, she says, I feel like I've

kind of created a monster and laughed at it. And I'm like, all right, that's okay. Like, that's funny. That was a funny one. And then she immediately goes into that. And between that and the fucking preschool conversation, which was even worse. That was like nails on a chart. You can't go through this entire conversation.

And by the way, are we, do you want to get into that right now? Yeah. You want to wait a second. Can we just get into that right now? Because we've had questions about Jessel's past. And we talked about how she seems like she resonates with Bryn and Cy and she says you don't know where I came from. I came from nothing.

I built this all up. She says that. We don't feel that way. No, she says that. And now she's sitting down just going through this preschool talking about how it's $62,000 a year. year and you could rub shoulders with Tom Cruise. First off, Tom Cruise is not picking up his fucking kids.

No shot. There's no chance in hell. He is fine-tuning his body at 65 years old so that he can jump off cliffs in the next Mission Impossible movie or next Top Gun movie, whatever. Whatever the hell he's doing. The way that she talks about this and this importance and everything, I might get in some hot water, but if you came from nothing, how the fuck would you know that? So here's, I see where you're coming from.

Is it that or is it I came from nothing? And I'm going to spend all this money because money equates to power. Right. Is it more that? I don't know. And I'm not going to speculate as to did she or did she not come from money because we don't know yet. But that was going to be my counter. I could also see the exact opposite that, oh, I came from nothing.

Now I do have the chance to get into this prestigious school. And even how I'm talking, Jessel will get into the prestigious school. Jessel's not even going to the school. She's just going and eating wine and cheese. I guess my biggest problem with it is. is the way that Pavett's talking, it's not crazy. Like the things that he's bringing up, it's 62K for what? To paint and color and draw?

Like, what are we doing here with this money? And Jessel's response is we can mix it up with the elites. It's like, that's not what you send your kid to school for. And I'll tell you right now. People do exactly that. I get it. It doesn't mean that we have to agree with it, though. I think here's the thing.

I think if you are $62,000 for preschool wealthy, it's not even a thought. I think that if you have enough money to send your kid to a school like that, you're like, send them, whatever. Yes. If you have to sit down with your husband and your husband's like, this is a really bad idea, why are we spending this much money? I don't think you're in that range. I think that's a really good way to put that. You know what I mean? Yeah, and it's just tough to kind of differentiate between that because even when Pavett brings, it got Willa.

They got my daughter. I need to find her. Willa! From acclaimed director, Paul Thomas Anderson. You can save that girl. On September 26th, experience what is being. called the best movie of the year this is the end of the line not for you

Leonardo decaprio Sean Pan Benicio del Toro Tiana Taylor Chase Infinity let's go here I come one battle after another only in theater September 26th experienced in IMAX these actual reasons as to why maybe

he wasn't even saying no we're absolutely not doing this he's just saying let's look at some other options she's dead set on this if I had to speculate as to what went on behind the scenes when the cameras weren't there, I would imagine that Jessel's mind is completely made up, and this is what they're going to do. I can't see it any other way. She obviously just runs everything,

and she will just run to have it into the ground until he says yes. Well, I mean, you even see it, like, as the conversation is progressing, they're filling out the form, right? Yeah, they are. They're filling out the form. But she doesn't even know. Socially inept? Come on.

She was supposed to, what did he say? She was an English major, too. I don't know what socially inept means. Like, everybody knows what socially. I use that phrase. a lot for people I know. And also, socially inept, he's a moron.

The child is five years old. I know, man. We're talking about being socially inept at five years old. Like, maybe just bring them around other kids and see what happens. How about that?

Just toss them in there. What is, you talk about learning. I love Pavett's response. And you can tell this is a guy that's just like, he seems tired. He seems exhausted. Yeah.

And she's like, they can speak Mandarin. He's like, they can't speak English. Yeah. But it's also a really good point. It is a great point. Yeah. But she's just not hearing. any of the points we're hearing the points we're hearing the points and look is it 62k per kid

yes you're going to spend a 120,000 sorry 134 now unless they've been just leading us on that one because they do have twins unless they only send the one there maybe the other one really is socially you get a 10% discount when you have twins yeah maybe it's 31 I don't know I'm assuming it's 62 because that's the number that they've been grilling into our brains for the last two weeks that's outrageous don't do it but school starts in like a week so i don't know if we can get to them quickly but let's just move on from there and we get to sigh and she's with david and to your point earlier we got a chance to meet one of the husbands a bit more and david is retired i remember that i think he cashed out young he must have done something big and cashed out early so i think it's

amazing that a guy that has money that has free time spends a lot of that time with his children Yep. Like, it's fun to see stuff like that. It might seem innocuous. It's even better to see Sye say that he's a great father and she's inspired by watching him with his kids. She's jealous almost because she wished that she had him as a dad. Like, it's really, it's a beautiful thing. It's nice.

It's touching. It shows how deep their relationship is. And again, we can't say this enough. That is a huge component to these shows. We talk about it all the time. Yes, it's nice to see them spend ridiculous money on stupid things that we can't even imagine doing. Love that. But it's also nice to humanize them.

And this is one of the most. genuine humanizing aspects of these shows is watching them with their husband, wife, significant other, what have you, and watching them actually have a deep connection and actually watching them work in accordance with each other. It's great. Yeah. And you see David, he's talking about the Jessel situation. And we've taken this approach as well when we try to sympathize and empathize with her. We are aware that she, I think that she's gone through a lot more in having these twins. And she's mentioned in vitro, multiple times. I think that the journey, and I'm, and understandably so, not that you and I

will ever understand it, but understandably so, that had to be a tumultuous journey. It took three years for her to get pregnant. She finally did. It's somewhat taboo in her culture to get IVF. She hasn't even told her parents that she had IVF. Right. She had the twins. She's having a hard time bouncing back. Like that is all tragic. That's really difficult. She's dealing with a lot of shit. And no matter how much shit we give her, we do need to be aware of that. sympathetic to that and David was a good reminder of that because he even says aside look she's been through a lot she's been through a lot of shit she's still juggling a lot of shit even while we're watching her like make outrageous decisions about preschools and be an asshole to everybody on the show

she's doing that while raising twins she is working she is in a sexless marriage where they're trying to figure that out like yeah she does have a lot of balls up in the air no pun intended but I just I'm curious where her storyline's going to go Are we going to get the villain of this show? Is this going to be her? And this is just her and it's like she's a great housewife. If she continues this,

she's still fun TV. I know. And if I had to guess, I would imagine this is where we're going to set up her whole background story. Oh, we're going to get a lot of this. We're going to get her kind of. Now look, I mean,

Aaron has been the focal point for the offend E, if you will, for the most of this, where Sye is complaining about food, Jessel's complaining about the house, you get Jenna leaving early, you get Brin not showing up. Like, Aaron has been the focal point for all of that. Jessel has been kind of mean to a lot of different people on this show,

disrespectful to a lot of people on this show. That's a good way to put it. So we're setting her up for, okay, why is she doing this? What makes her tick? What's going on? And it looks like scenes for next week are her sitting down with her mom to talk about her

having her kids and you know kind of what she's been doing since then and like how it's been affecting her life and how she had to do IVF to have the kids yes exactly and i think that that's going to be a really tough discussion i think that based off of just that little clip that we saw with her sitting down with her mom we're going to get a lot more on her backstory next week and that is really good editing it's really good producing to have us just organically move through and see where all these women came from because that is the goal the number one goal of season one yes it's supposed to be fun yes it's supposed to captivate an audience but the main component is we need to know these women on a deeper level we need to understand where they're coming from

and they're doing it really well and they've done it well all season so i think that jessel's kind of like that last the cherry on top if you will and we might maybe after next episode we might feel a little bit different yeah they do that and they put us through the ringer like that i'm going to be really annoyed makes a lot of sense that they drag it drag it drag it drag it so now you get to the point with jessler you're like oh my god like ripping your hair out and then they're like but here's why and maybe i'm giving a little bit more credit than credits do, but we'll find out next week. That's the interesting part, because if she just continues this warpath, then it's also good

for TV. So I don't hate it either way, but I'm curious. That's actually, that would be a very intelligent arc, character arc for Bravo to put together. We'll see. But moving on from that, everybody's getting ready and preparing for the party. Aaron and Jessel are cool. Aaron says it, Jessel has said it. Jessel gave an all-encompassing apology, which even Bryn was like maybe should be more specific earlier in the episode. But when we go to Aaron, like, she accepted the apology. They're both just kind of ready to start with a clean slate, which I think we all are. The issues that they have had are not multiple episode worthy fights.

Which is awesome because those exact same issues have been multiple episode worthy fights in other franchises. Yeah. That has been our number one gripe for the last year. Shut up. No one cares. Enough. We're actually seeing so far any little dumb, like, misunderstand. Standing, snafu, whatever you would

call it, has been resolved rather quickly in this show. And I hope that other people are noticing that. Maybe it's something that goes unnoticed when you don't watch it the way that we watch it. But it's really nice because we're not getting held up on dumb shit and we're progressing the story much faster

than everything else because we're not getting stuck in the mud. Yeah, I agree. And it's refreshing. That's the best word to put. Yeah, I think that's a good way to do it. Yeah. But we're at the party. Let's go to the fits.

Oh, we're going through the fits? Yeah, yeah. I know you want to be more. You want to be the fashion guy on the show. So I made a note to like, all right, let's talk fits. And I just wrote fits. So who won the night? Who had the best fit?

Aaron. Yeah, she also had a costume change, which, you know. But here's the thing. Usually when we get the costume change, I hate one of the two outfits. Both were great. Both were great. Both were on point. And the main thing, and I assume this is what she was going for.

She was wearing, what, $2 million worth of diamonds? Thanks to Uber, who has COVID. Thanks to the security guard that followed her around, which else was. It was a very funny moment. I love that guy because he was not that cool about being there. No, he was definitely not that cool. Yeah, yeah, no. But he was also cool enough to crack a joke in the moment about how he hasn't lost anything since.

I hope this isn't my first night. Like, that's great. I love that. But no, I think Aaron's outfit over wall, she kind of built the outfit around the fact that she's going to have this much jewelry on, these many diamonds on, if you will. Drippin, exactly. So both outfits, I think were great. I am going to put I'm going to put Britain towards the bottom

The Crueldaville thing doesn't work for me Oh so you know that was the parent trap like on It was it was the parent trap thing Minus the hat but still I just didn't care for it It's just like the sunglasses inside Like grow up dude Well she said she was high as balls

That's okay I've never seen you wear sunglasses inside I'm more of a sunglass inside guy I don't wear sunnows I'll do it in like I've never seen me wear sunglasses period Yeah like Oakley's When's the last time you saw me wearing sunglasses

Because I haven't heard of high school Yeah exactly I'm not a big sunglasses guy. Yeah, you're not, actually. But no, she kind of bothered me a little bit this episode just because, and I know I'm going on a tangent off of the outfits, so I apologize if you were checking in for the outfits. Bryn goes from, I'm tired of dating, I'm single, I want to just grow old

and just be in a marriage at some point. You cannot say that. And then also say, you're bored and you want to hit on every single guy at the party. and then also say it just she doesn't add up there's like something missing in between where she's just bouncing between two ends of the spectrum I think that's her

I think that we've heard that with her back story doesn't mean that I enjoy it no no I'm not saying you have to I'm saying I think that we've been given enough info about her past as to why she ticks the way she does just because she shared it with us doesn't mean that she's going to change who she is

like when she's uncomfortable in a room that's what she does when she is uncomfortable anywhere like that's what she does So it makes a lot of sense to me that she, especially when she's bored, because she says that pretty quickly. Like, I'm bored as hell. So then she starts acting out. She says when I'm bored, I complain.

Yeah, which I hate that. Yeah, not great. But I thought it was, and I know it's her schick, at a certain point, you got to stop flirting with Abe. Abe, yes. Go flirt with her dad. That's funny. It wasn't, like, in the beginning, I was like, ha, ha, the divorce thing was kind of funny, I guess. But she keeps going, and I'm like, okay.

Just one line. Yeah, that's it. Like, married guy who's anniversary party you're at currently with a friend of yours that's also on the show. Like, I don't know if that's more

her trying to be like establishing her role on this show. They all know her as the flirt. Or if it's her or... I'm curious, genuinely, like, when Aaron watches that back is... I know she's not going to be like, what the fuck,

but... Well, Aaron finds out about it and talks about it next week. She does? Yes. Okay, yeah. We do get a compromise... Well, we get some sort of conversation from that.

There should be a little one. Like, hey, like, absolutely should be. Lay off a little. I get you're joking, but lay off. But I think that's the point is Abe in the beginning, took it as a joke, it was funny, whatever. You see him get uncomfortable. And then she kept going, and he got uncomfortable.

He did. And he didn't know if he should leave. He didn't know if he should walk away or stop her or do whatever. And he just uncomfortably laughs. And then finally he's like, all right, I got to go. I got to go do whatever and just leave. Literally anything else. So at some point, you have to know where that line is.

And I think this is probably going to be a trend for Brin moving forward, especially when it comes to Mary Managas. She's not going to know where that line is. And she's going to pass. it off is, oh, I'm Bryn, I'm joking, I'm flirting, this is what I do. It's a respect thing, right? It's not so much. I don't think Aaron's going to be like, oh, you're actually trying to hook up with him. I think it just comes down to, hey, can you respect, one, respect the evening, two, respect

my husband, and three, respect me. I just, and like, Brin, I just hope that when Aaron checks her on this, she hears it. I do too. And understands it. And understands what she needs to. And stop doing that, at least with Abe directly. But also, I really just don't want to see a confrontation where she says, I was joking and just takes it that far.

Yeah. Because we've seen other people in the show do that, Jessel. And it's just, it's not worth it. You know, that's kind of dumb. One of my biggest pet peeves in Bravo is the I'm joking defense. It doesn't make sense. It's never true. But let's keep moving.

Cy gets there. Jenna gets there. Jenna squeezing Aaron's ass for 45 seconds before. What do you? I, do she think that's Abe? No idea. I think she knew it was Jenna. You think she knew it was one of her friends and just kind of like was engaged in a

conversation just all right i'm just i was like it was a funny moment no it was and like i love that jena got awkward and didn't know what to do and just was like i just got to keep squeezing i guess so that she knows that it's me and i was kidding but she keeps squeezing around she finally turns around when sye gets there david's not showing up i thought this was a and this is just side i've learned that and i'm okay with it now she's like david's not coming and by the way he was pretty stoked that he didn't have to come to your stupid party i was okay with that too i thought yeah i didn't At this point, had I heard that episode two or three, I'd be like, that's kind of fucked up,

but now knowing Sye. And also knowing David, because David, the way that he was talking about that, oh yeah, it's semi-black tie. Can I wear a track suit? Can I do this? And, like, he was actively trying to avoid going to this party at all costs. So as soon as anything popped up,

he's like, ah, I'll stay home. I got the kids now. One of the kids that is sick. I got to stay home. Bummer. But we got a Meredith Mark's appearance. Yep. And Brooks was there.

I was shocked to see. Mary. She looked great. I'm getting excited. Is it Brooks's fashion line? Is that what it is? I think is the connection there. That makes a lot of sense. I know that they've been going to New York a lot more and Brooks is doing that. I think is doing that. It's doing really well. And I think, especially amongst the Bravo community, it's definitely doing really well. We should get some Brooks stuff. We should absolutely get some yeah. We should get some Brooks stuff. We got a hand sanitizer last year. Oh, the wolf. No, that's Lisa Barlow's son's company. I know it was for Salt Lake. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Fresh Wolf.

I have it on my... I know, I see it all the time, yeah. Yeah, shout out Brooks. Send us some stuff. Yeah, we would love to wear some stuff. Didn't you have the one that just says, like, is a track suit, but the lines on the suit say Brooks? Yeah.

Give me that one. Stee will give it to his brother whose name is also. I know, yeah. All right, so Brooks, if you hear this, my brother's name is Brooks, I will wear it and then I'll send it to Brooks. So make it happen. But we learned that Jenna is single after dating a woman, I guess, on and off for a year and a half.

That's what she's not really. She just said a year and a half, but it sounded like a year, a little on and off. But we hear that it didn't work out, so she's kind of on the hunt again a little bit. She asked about a man that was there, and who knows what we're going to see? We could see Jenna dated woman, den a dated man, like whatever her prerogative is. But I'm excited to see single Jenna. But it was a little interesting just because a couple of weeks ago we had the discussion of what exactly was Jenna trying to accomplish by not talking about her significant other, her girlfriends, at the time when they were up in the

Hampton. She didn't want to talk about her. She didn't want to bring her out. And we had a discussion about, well, maybe it's for the show. Maybe this other woman doesn't really want to be in the spotlight. Maybe she was in a similar situation as Jenna was a couple of years ago. We don't really know the details. So we can't really dig too far into it. Here we find out that it seems like Jenna is trying to suppress her away from the spotlight. And she did not want to be away from the spotlight. She wanted to be out in public with Jenna. And Jenna wasn't comfortable with that. So it is really a weird dynamic to kind of read into. because we didn't know which way we were going, but we thought we were right. Well, the other part of that is she says that it's been done for a few weeks. Yeah. So depending on the timeline, when she got the hands, maybe it was rocky. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't know. But the one glimmer that we get out of this is we see Jenna really open up. And I'm excited to see if we can have Jenna be more open overall. Like, she shared a lot of stuff with us, yeah. But when it comes to her actual active personal life, we don't get as much. No, we don't.

This is that doorway into it? I'm into it. I'm also into it. And I like that not only are we into it, but both Cy and Jessel had said on different occasions, they're into it. If Jenna's going to open up a little bit more, and this is the Jenna that we're going to get moving forward,

I want to see more of this Jenna. If your castmates want to see more of that, then that's a good sign. I just hope they go about it the right way because we've seen these women be very brash when it comes to things, especially with like Jessel's sex life. And it gets kind of annoying.

and it definitely shuts down that person that they're trying to get to come out and start talking about things. Well, you don't see that with Jenna and you immediately see it differently because Jessel is 100% empathetic. That's the first time I've seen her go, Jenna, are you okay?

How are you feeling? I was like, who the fuck are you? Where did that come from? Maybe we're seeing a term? I don't think so. I think, again, it's the Jenna Lyons effect, which is similar to the Diana Jenkins effect. That's what I call it always.

I think that she has that presence. She has that aura. She is Jenna Lyons. I think that no matter what, the group is going to want to be in her favor. Yeah, I agree. But moving on, we get the speeches, and here's a public service announcement. To anybody having a wedding, anybody having a party, anybody having an anniversary party, you get one speech. Let them know.

You get one speech, maybe two. At the most, it's two. And here's the third caveat to this. Make sure it is somebody that is great at speaking, does not need to look at their phone, can do it, and be present with the audience and look at the crowd. You need to have a good speaker because here's what I'm going to tell you and it might sting to hear it.

Nobody gives a fuck. Not one person in the room. You know what also sucks? You do the speeches before the food is served at most weddings. Everybody just wants to eat. That's it. We've been boozing for hours.

Just give me some fucking food. Keep the speech short to the point. Show some respect to the people who are there. Show some respect to the families. and get the hell on. Just this isn't your moment. This is their moment. Move on.

I understand because they didn't really have like the traditional wedding, so it seems like they wanted the whole speech thing going on. How many weddings have you been to with five speeches that you enjoyed all of them? None. Zero. In this moment, if this was just an anniversary party, Aaron and Abe, go ahead, do a little speech. Fine.

This is your moment. You pay for this fucking dinner. No. No, you don't even want their speeches? Do your fucking vows. That was their vows. I know. Do your vows.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's, well, that's what I meant. Yeah, yeah, do your, do your vows up there. That's great and everything. Maybe you have one person in the beginning that just kind of introduces you up there, but that's it. Thanks everybody for coming out. Great.

Here's some fucking vows. Here you go, done with. They don't want to hear about how Tim got arrested for his fake ID. Because he had a fake ID. Like, nobody cares. And also, what the fuck was up? Aaron's sister's ass. How in the world?

Like, did you just want to get on camera? Like, is that what it was, Kelly? You just have to pop up and get on fucking camera. Is her name actually? Yeah, it's Kelly. And it drove me insane. Like, shut up. Nobody cares about you.

You went over to the women that were on camera so that you could tell them to quiet down. It's disrespectful. Like, no, it's not. This is disrespectful. This speech up here that's been going on for eight minutes for fucking Tim and his goddamn lost ID and he got it to get a fake ID. I don't care. It's stupid. We're hungry back here.

Please end these speeches. When they're talking, yeah, we're not going to say anything. But I don't care about this guy. And Kelly, go away. Yeah, Kelly, enough. buzz off. Even the mom tries to come over and... No, no, no, no, no. I think the mom actually got... She got kind of

astray there, because they were mad at Kelly. No, no, no, that's what I'm saying. The mom tried to talk to. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The mom was just like, hey, what's up, guys? She was trying to converse. And they were like, we can't talk to you. And she's like, no, no, we just got in trouble. Which was funny. It was really funny. But no, the... Then I felt bad for the mom. I did, too, because she was actually just trying to have a conversation. He was, like, turning back around, like, smiling. Like, what just happened?

In the moment, you look behind our crew, everybody is doing that thing where they're side talking and that's what happens when you have long repetitive multiple speeches you're gonna lose the audience and that's exactly what happens so you cannot fault this crew for talking

and she even comes over and goes you guys are arguing and that to me says that it was like predetermined yes she was coming over there no matter what because they weren't even arguing they were just chit-chatting you came over to insert yourself they were chit-chatting and laughing about how long the speeches were going on because it was long yeah what do you want to do

still talking about it sit there quiet Let me collect my thoughts for five minutes. I don't want to collect my thoughts. But we finally get to the vows, and I actually appreciated that Aaron shushed the crowd. I thought that was a funny moment. That was very on-brand. Yes. It's a very grand moment.

She's a brand for Aaron, yeah. Like that moment. Her vows were fine. I thought that they were heartfelt. They were good. They were a little run-of-the-mill, but it was a sweet sentiment. I really liked Abe's vows. I thought they were similar, you know, run-of-the-mill.

But he just, between both of them, like, They love each other. They really love each other. They're a great duo. I like seeing them together. People know that, you know, Aaron's not my favorite. But she's grown on me significantly. And her relationship with Abe has made me push her up the power rankings a lot.

She's like three now for me. There you go. Yeah. I like her a lot. And I think that what I was reading as- You still have Jenna ahead of her. Oh, yeah. Jen's one.

No to Jen and the Lions love her. Here's the thing. I think that what I was taking as her being rude, I think she's just short and straightforward, and I can appreciate people like that. Once I get to know, like, oh, that's just how you tick. Like, all right, I'm fine with that. Like, she is the lady that's going to shush the crowd.

That is Aaron, and that's okay. So I, this scene to me, it was really nice. It was nice to see them. It's nice to see a couple that actually likes each other. You know what I mean? They actually care about each other. And that's not a lot of that going around in Bravo. It's cool to see.

But here is my bone to pick. you had one earlier, here's mine. I had no idea. She's a pescatarian. You only eat fish, fish, vegetables, whatever. You don't eat any of their meats. If you are a pescatarian, it is not up to other people to figure out what you eat. That is your job to make sure that you are fed before a party that might not have fish. Not every fish serves party. Not every party serves fish. If you have a limited, restricted diet, it is not the host job to cater to. you and your weird diet because you only eat fish. You don't know any party fishes?

Like a party fish? Party fish. Yeah, shrimp. Yeah, they like to party. Tuna. Yeah, they like to party, too. Oh, is you what you're saying? I hate this.

What a dumb. It's because you said it. That's dumb. You know what I meant? Like, it's a, fuck you. That's, but for her to be up in arms about food all the time and then learning that she only eats fish. But that's the thing that we talked about even in the first or second episode,

whenever the hell of Hampton's trip was, it's so long ago. Now I have no idea. Uba also has dietary restrictions. You know what Uba did? Didn't complain. She just went and tried to get her own food. She went, exactly. Go with her, Sye.

Go get your own food. Like, stop bitching about things. Sye does go to get her own food at the worst fucking time. I know. But this is, it just doesn't make any sense. Like, I fully agree with you. If you know that you're a pescatarian, you're not going to a wedding. You're not sitting, you know that you're not sitting down for dinner.

You read the invitation that had 45 different sponsors on it. Whatever. You know that you're not sitting down and having a choice of. fish or meat. That's not going to happen for you. So figure it out. And she says, yes, I went to my daughter's play or something, whatever rehearsal before that. So maybe she had some time restrictions, whatever. But plan ahead of time. Bring a snack or something. Just don't complain when they don't have stuff to fit your diet. Or here's a novel idea. Go over to Aaron and say, hey, you know what? I'm pretty wiped out. I'm actually really hungry.

I'm going to stop and grab something to eat. But I just wanted to say goodbye. Don't just sneak out. No, Aaron's still going to be... No. There are... Look, I love an Irish goodbye. Big fan of an Irish goodbye. Irish goodbyes generally happen after, like, 1 a.m.

if you've been, like, having a long night, and everybody's just doing their own thing. You get the hell out of there. You see you later. You may be sent a text on your way home. That's okay. But it was presumably, like, 9 or 10 p.m. I'm saying no later than 10. Probably no later than 10 o'clock.

I don't know. The speech is took a 6 hour. That's a good point. It's for an actual event that Aaron put together to... for her anniversary, like, she didn't have to invite you, but yeah, you're here you are. Just be nice and respectful and say goodbye. Yeah, maybe Aaron's going to be like, oh, wow, you're leaving, and then maybe don't make it a thing about food because that's the other thing. Even if she said goodbye, she would have said, yeah, you know, I'm really hungry and you never feed me.

It's probably what I would have said anyway. So she would have gotten half a point for being shitty. But at the same time, it's still better than what you did. Well, the thing is, if you say goodbye, you can come back from that. Yeah. She might, she's going to be mad that you left, but there's a bridge there. You could be like, look, I know I'm sorry, but like I was starving. I was at my daughter's recital, whatever.

Can I make it up to you? Blah, blah, blah. There's room to grow. If you just bounce after complaining about Jenna bouncing from the Hamptons, like I said, there's a precedent now. But you know what the other funny, really funny thing is in an actual group of friends? Maybe a couple of them would have your back and not spill the beans and say you were just complaining about food and that you were leaving to specifically go get food? No, they're all going to. tell her they're all going to tell erin because they're not a true group of friends they're all trying

to get like a little bit of a leg up on each other as the season progresses we know that's going to happen you have to know that's going to happen this is all going to come down to how she reacts to erin because now erin's got two fucking fires to put out next week between brin flirting with her fucking husband and brin was also complaining during the vows i didn't like that i'm okay i didn't like that but that doesn't really matter maybe erin's mad about that now because you just watched it but at the time it's not really a big deal sigh leaving is now going to overshadow pretty much everything. So now, Aaron, after having a really nice party,

is going to have to put out two fires with two of her friends on the show. That's going to be kind of annoying. Hopefully, it settles quickly because I really don't want stupid things like this to drag along. But it's worth noting you could just say goodbye. Just say goodbye. That's it. Just say goodbye. But write a song about it?

Just say goodbye before you go. Get more into these party fishes. Fish that serve party is what you said. I'll tell you what a party fish is a rock fish. Rock lobster? Oh. Rock lobster? No, rockfish.

I actually would have been a really good answer. If you had immediately said rock lobster to me in that moment, I would have stopped everything. Oh, well, maybe next time. How my brain works. Maybe next time. Let's go to the question portion of the show. And we got a few. So let's dive right in.

Up first from Ronnie Boy 22. How do you feel about newbies already being rumored to be actually. it. I like that because it tells me that they are planning to continue this show. I don't like it at all. I think you need at least two seasons full of just these women. See what you have. There's a whole reason that you rebooted this show. It was a strenuous process that you had to go through. You vetted these women for a reason. If you give up on them in the first season because of ratings or whatever the fuck else is going on, it just shows that you either, one, didn't do your due diligence or two, you move too quickly onto things.

and it's not going to work it out either way. Let them grow. I like that, actually. I think mine was more so the fact that, okay, we're getting a season two if we're talking about newbies. Firmly agree, however, let's let this group grow. I think season three is when you change things up. Yep, there you go. From Felicity Biasi, do you think when Uba is around, they're all better people?

Uba missing, killed the party, and the fun. She did. I fully agree with that because I would have loved to have seen what Uba did if Kelly came over and said, can you guys stop talking what are you guys arguing during all this like uba would have had a snarky joke to come back at would have been funny yeah i agree i do think that they are also better when she's there for sure i don't know if that's necessarily true though not better people i think they're better when uba's there oh the show is better as okay yeah yeah from emma charles who do you see staying on the show the longest out of all yeah jenna's not going to last

that long i just don't think that she has the social aspect i say erran erin makes the most sense she's the most New York out of all of them and she seems to have what it takes to go Uba's going to move on to bigger and better things at some point probably I'm going to say wild card sigh

oh interesting yeah I think Aaron is probably the easiest answer but I'm going to say sigh is a wild card okay okay from Thursday poems do you hate Tamara for her podcast or for her on the show yes and off the show and also off her podcast yes presumably yeah i don't like her i think she's a mean

person i think she's mean spirited and i think that she does everything for clow oh i like this from licey 88 who would you swap out of the new york cast with lindsay from summer house it's a little too early to say i don't think you can take any of these ladies out yet i think they're all doing their job so far um i would know because they all kind of bring like different dynamics to the show. I would adder as a friend of. Yeah, Adder is a friend of. That's kind of a cop-out answer, though.

You're a cop-out answer. I know I am. True blue cop-out answer. I'm going to replace her with, even though I just said that she would last long as I'd replace her with sigh. Really? I think Jessel brings a weird dynamic

to the show that's kind of needed. Oh, I like Jessel. As far as what she does for the show. Out there and social, Jen is inward. No, you need sigh. I don't think you need sigh. I think you need that hard-nosed. Well, then you know what?

Actually, fine. Replace Jessel with Lindsay because they kind of bring the same sort of energy anyway. That would make the most sense, but I don't want to see Jessel go. No, no. I think you leave them all alone for now, again, like we talked about. And the last one, and this is going to hurt, from moves by the moon, are we putting ourselves through the Sixers this year? Yes. No.

Yes, we are. I'm not. You know you are. Not going to do it. You know you are. Fucking dumpster fire. It is a dumpster fire, but you know that you're going to watch it. You know you're going to get invested.

You know you're going to get a glimmer of hope? I am probably, truthfully, I will probably check in fully to the sexers. Jesus. The Sixers season way later than I usually do. I think that's fair. I think I really will not give a shit about them from October until like April. That's what you say. and they're going to come out

as soon as football season's over I'm going to be so furious about the Sixers. And you know they're going to because of that they're going to come out hot. When's the Super Bowl this year? We'll say it's the 11th of February

year, hopefully. Yeah, I don't know. It's probably going to be my birthday next year so it'll ruin my fucking birthday too. Why would it ruin your birthday? I'm just pessimistic about everything. We're in first place in the wild card. Can you fucking be positive a little bit?

Oh, the Phillies. Yeah, that's different. That's October. I mean, in general. Like, you just went from football to six or six or. to everything. This took a weird thought.

All of us. You see what she did? Sixers. You see what she did moves by the moon? Sixers are probably going to be second place in like the draft lottery. Which means they stink. Well, you just bummed me out to end the episode. I was in a good mood.

We were in the... I'm getting hungry. You haven't fed me. You're a pescatarian. There's no fisher. Well, that's our first episode in the Studie Bro. And now I'm going to have to get a sign that says, Studie bro.

Studie bro. Do you put a dash in there? Some bro who's in this house? There's some bro. That might as to be our new intro. There's some bros in the... That's the other thing. Our fucking intro to the goddamn show is the Phillies.

Well, no, it's not really. It's Castianos on the Reds. No, it's Castianos when he was on the Red. But still, it's Castianos. What's the problem with that? We're in first place in the Wild Card. I'm bitching about the Phillies still. Why?

Because they didn't invite us to their influencer night. Oh, okay. They're playing right now. so let's end this so we can go watch them hopefully win and take another game on the Giants and Gabe Kapler that weiner what a dork eat a fucking raw potato for those of you that don't know Gabe Kapler eats raw potatoes like apples
