What's up Bro's?!? It's been a long time coming... But RHONY 2.0 is finally here and it did not disappoint. First, we stop back in Atlanta where the girls are headed to Portugal fro Sheree's healing t...rip. Tensions flair between Drew and Sheree when Sheree brings up a lawsuit that Drew is involved in. Meanwhile, it looks like Marlo and Kenya are crossing path's via Row (Kenya's new "friend") as we find out that Marlo had previously went on a date with him. Things escalate in Portugal when Drew attempts to smooth things over with Sheree but is met with a lot of resistance. Oh, and Ralph is auditioning to be a stripper because, Ralph. Then its time to meet the New Ladies of New York and they are amazing. From the captivating Jenna Lyons, to the bubbly Brynn, this cast brought it for their first episode. We are immediately confronted with Cheesegate as apparently Sai had an issue with Erin and her cheeses at a previous party. We get to meet all the women and their families as they gear up for a girls night at Jenna's. Tensions are high between Erin and Brynn after Brynn and Sai ditched a group dinner to go eat by themselves. And sneakily posted it on instagram as though the rest of the group wouldn't see.

Starting point is 00:00:30 D.C. high volume, Batman. The Dark Knight's definitive DC comic stories adapted directly for audio for the very first time. Fear, I have to make them afraid. He's got a motorcycle. Get after him or have you shot. What do you mean blow up the building? From this moment on,
Starting point is 00:00:53 none of you are safe. New episodes every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts. As there's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos, it will be... Oh, man, it's 8 o'clock. And so that'll make it a... I don't need the spotlight. I shine just fine.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Hi, I'm Karma. And yes, I am a bitch. Brov Bros. Good afternoon, 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. co-host, Steele Russell, joined as always by the one and only
Starting point is 00:01:33 Scootie Madduty. What's up? Medudy. Medudy. It is officially Barbenheimer Week. I know that everybody's everybody's excited about the new Roney. We are too, and we'll get into that. But it's Barbenheimer week. Can't take away from it.
Starting point is 00:01:49 What are you going to see first? Oppenheimer, probably. It just makes more sense. Do you say Barbenheimer again? No, Oppenheimer. Oh, yeah, okay, okay. It still ends inheimer. Yeah, no. Probably Oppenheimer first. I feel like Barbie's the Decompressed movie.
Starting point is 00:02:04 You get three hours of sitting in an IMAX theater. We are blessed with one of the only 19 IMAX theaters that is actually running it in the right, the appropriate film, if you will, for Oppenheimer. You've seen the actual film casing for it? It's like, why is this room? It's fucking insane. That's the IMAX cut. Yeah, it's nuts. And I fully intend on doing the double dip, doing both in one day.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Really just no other way to do it. You got to have a little bit of both. Now, I do want to ask, let's turn this into a Bravo thing. Okay. You could sit in the comfiest movie theater and you had to watch one full season of any franchise. It doesn't have to be any season. We don't have to get too into the nitty-gritty. But if you had to pick one franchise, what could you sit there and watch all day?
Starting point is 00:02:48 I cannot leave. Well, you can get in the bathroom and stuff. Vanderpump. We've got to grab a drink. Oh, it has to be Housewives? No. Oh, Vanderpump. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:56 I mean, I more or less did that when I watched. Like when I got into Bravo, Vanderpump was my OG show, and I watched it, like, start to finish almost, because it was mid-pandemic, and I literally started it with Dev, tried to ignore it, got sucked in, binged watched it. I think I got caught up, and there was like seven seasons at that point. Pretty sure I got caught up in two or three weeks. Yeah, so that's, I think that's the appropriate answer. I feel like a housewife show, for me personally, halfway through the season, especially it was like Beverly Hills. last year or whatever. Again, I'm not specifying the season.
Starting point is 00:03:32 I'm just saying, like, franchise in total. Like, maybe Roney, you know, at their best, if you take everybody in their prime, you could do that. But I do think that just what the other types of shows bring us with the Summer House, Southern Charm, Southern Hospitality, you want to throw that in there. They're more bingeable. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:03:49 They're way more bingeable because there's way more characters. There's way more people on the show, way more storylines going on. Housewives, and maybe this is just kind of recency bias, but we do get sucked into little aspects that just run for the entire season, and that would drive me insane in a movie theater. It just tends to get deeper, you know, they really dig into issues, whereas the other shows, whether it's because they have a shorter runtime
Starting point is 00:04:11 or, like, as far as, like, duration of the season goes, or the drama, they tend to move faster through it. Everything's pretty much on the nose at, like, 41 minutes nowadays. Yeah, I know. I don't notice. I mean, watching on Peacock is kind of like that. But back to Barbenheimer. I know you said that you would go with me and do the double-dip.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I would do the double-dip. I've been getting a lot of shit for it. Why? I don't understand that. That's so annoying. So I am opening my doors. I would love to, but here's the thing. I'd go get Poppy on Friday in the summer.
Starting point is 00:04:41 That's where I was kind of going with this. I know you're pretty busy over the next couple of weeks. So I'm opening the doors. If anybody wants to join me for Barbenheimer, I'm out there. You're asking our audience. Asking the audience. It could get dangerous. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I will pay for the day.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I will buy you guys dinner I will buy your movie tickets I will give you $20 each so you can get a half a cup of popcorn at the movie theater Half a cup, yeah So if somebody signs up for this date with Shooter To go watch Barb and Himer I will pay for the entire evening
Starting point is 00:05:12 I'll send you guys to fucking like Ruth's Chris It's like not the man I don't actually like Ruth's Chris But Indianapolis No Ruth's Chris is like down the street from You want to pay? Yeah I didn't know there's one out there It's mediocre I think it's one of the more overrated steakhouses in the world.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I don't like how they cook their state. Yeah, I can throw it in there with like Sullivan's or whatever. Yeah, exactly. But, yeah, I mean, just throw it out there. I know that, because a couple of us were talking about just Oppenheimer in general, but it's pretty booked for the next week or two. So it gives you enough time. You know, in the next couple of weeks, I'll decide.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I don't need to see these movies right away. Wait, wait, wait, you have to plead your case as to why you are the person. Yeah, we'll put a contest out there. Yeah, so you. The Bachelor. You plead your case. We will, I will select the winner. I will select.
Starting point is 00:05:59 I'll make it funny. No, no, I'll select three. And you get to choose from those three. How about that? Okay. So, enter the contest. Tell me why you deserve to go on this, on this Barbenheimer date with Schuetz. I will pay for it.
Starting point is 00:06:13 And I'll give you three, three choices. You get to choose. I think that's fair. I think that's the way to do it. Any and all people can apply. Oh, yeah. I am so fucking excited for this. This is a great idea.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Good call. I'm glad that you thought of this. We're out here. And I just just came up with that right now. That was fucking, wow. I'm so excited. Yeah. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:06:33 It's going to be great. This is going to be really great. I just finished Ted Lassow officially. And underwhelming season three. I didn't hate it as much as other people were telling me I was going to. I still enjoyed the lassoisms and all that stuff. But I am like legitimately bummed out that I don't get to watch that on my screen anymore. Yeah, well, yes and no.
Starting point is 00:06:54 I mean, if you're to believe that it's fully over, then, yeah, I agree with you. But, I mean, I don't think it's fully over. I think Sudecis is going to take a sabbatical, if you will, kind of like what he's doing in the show. And there's obviously still so much more than just Ted Lassow in the show at this point. If you keep going with Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Ken, and he keep going with Nate, who is a remarkable actor. I don't think he gets enough credit for the role of Nate because, first of all, a story arc is fantastic. Like, his reactions to things, just the way that he, like, cries at certain moments and his facial expressions. Like, I am always entranced by him when he's on the screen.
Starting point is 00:07:32 So I think that he needs to do more stuff. I would love to see Roy, Nate, Jamie Tart, like, just keep running them back. Yeah. I'll fucking watch that shit. I don't care if it gets bad. Yeah, the same writers are involved. I'm in. Just keep putting it out there.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Now, the problem, obviously, is that the writers are on strike. So, who knows when the hell we're like. Oh, no, that's right. Yeah, we're going to hit a lull. Now, this is fine for us because it's reality TV, if we're to believe it's real, there's no writers. So we should be fine next summer. But by this time next summer,
Starting point is 00:08:02 we might start to see that downgrade or that decline in content out there. Yeah. That might get a little messy and we might be a little bored next summer. But they should hold out, though. I can't believe. Did you see, so some studio execs said they're going to hold out on the strike until the writers start losing their home. and apartments, which is fucking abhorred.
Starting point is 00:08:24 It was so awful to read that. But then did you see Ron Perlman's response? No. So Ron Perlman, who played Cole from Sons of Anarchy famously. Hellboy. Hellboy went on and said, how dare you say that shit? And by the way, motherfucker, there's a lot of ways you can lose your house. A whole lot of ways.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Watch what you're fucking saying. I was like, I mean, if anybody's going to say that to me, if it's Ron Perlman, I'm going to believe that. I'm going to believe them. There's 90% of Hollywood. with people that could say that, I'd think you're a loser. Well, honestly, you know what? Next year, if there's no content out there, people are going to flock to reality TV. Hey, come on aboard.
Starting point is 00:09:00 The bros are waiting for you. But we had, this is our midweek episode. We're back to two per week. Thank God, I get like brain dead when we don't do two per week. I feel like I lose my, what do you call it? See, I can't even think of the word. Can't even think of it. You just get a little rusty, you know?
Starting point is 00:09:15 I need to get on the sticks with you every now and then, more so than once a week. Sticks being the microphones. Yeah, these are the sticks. this is my stick my mic um but we had the pleasure of a new franchise airing i thought it was fantastic and in light of that it's our midweek episode we got power rankings we got power rankings for the shows that are out right now so you started off what's your power rankings right now uh i'm gonna i'm gonna put crappy lake at the top and i can't really figure it out if it's because the episodes are shorter love the short episodes i love i can't get enough
Starting point is 00:09:51 the short episodes because look, in the past, if I, like, I enjoyed the show, I would have waited maybe a couple of weeks and then watched like six or seven in a row. And it's so weird that there's an effect like that where I'm complaining that some of these episodes are 40 minutes long and they're too long
Starting point is 00:10:07 but I will sit down and watch six episodes of crappy late. Because it's good and I feel like they kind of condense each, if you want to call them the storylines or like little I guess little adventures that they're going on is kind of the way to do it. Yeah. It's like a snack. Yeah, and they kind of house each adventure into an episode and I think it's great and I think they're doing a great job with it. So I'm putting Crabby Lake Top just because that's the one that I feel most enjoyment
Starting point is 00:10:29 watching right now. I will say just to amend that a little bit, not to amend your power ranking. Yeah, please do amend my power ranking. No, no, no, no. I'm not going to re-rank your shit. I'm saying, I don't think all of the shows need to be 20 minutes. Like, somebody commented on that last week. They're like, the shows can all be like that. No, I don't want them all to be 20 minutes, but it's nice to have like one option of all these shows where you can just, Be like, you know what? I want a little bit. And boom, you get 20 minutes of it. I think the main thing there is it's the summer. You and I have been running around like crazy with our actual jobs and just other things going on, like going to the shore and doing whatever you do in the summer. If you did a 20 minute episode in, say, like, December or January, it might not hit as hard. It might not feel as good.
Starting point is 00:11:11 That's a good point. Yeah. Touching going to summer. I don't really care. You know, it's dark out by five o'clock so I can sit inside and just watch TV at that point. So who cares? But now it works perfectly. So, again, I'm just putting this at the top because that's the one that I enjoy the most. And the short episodes are a big component of that. I'm going to throw, I'm going to put Atlanta at two. You know, they just went on the girls trip, which we'll get into. Always a good piece. And I'm very happy that Kenya's trip was not the actual girls trip because that was pretty sad. So I'm putting Atlanta at two.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I'm putting the new Roney at three. Oh, wow. Just jumping right up there. And then I'm going to throw OC at the bottom right now. Yeah, OC is kind of dragging for me. I don't want any hate towards OC. The good thing is when we typically do this, at least when we've done it in the past,
Starting point is 00:11:54 and it's been a few weeks since we did two episodes, Power Rankings, O.C is still good and I'm still enjoying it. Yeah, I agree. In the past, there have been some clunkers out there that I'm like get, I'm done with it. Oh, they're like, I've had enough. And I put them at seven when there's only five options.
Starting point is 00:12:09 And it's very obvious what we're doing. This is a little bit harder. I do think there's a gap between OC or rather the first three and then OC. in my mind anyway but still enjoying it so it's not really that hard to figure out but yeah one through four that's where I'm at I'm gonna go crappy lake
Starting point is 00:12:26 I'm going Roney too and honestly Roney is just inches away from being number one I fucking loved it three I'm going Atlanta four's OC and to piggyback off what you said this is a happy power ranking I'm enjoying
Starting point is 00:12:43 all the shows out right now I have no qualms with them I think that OC and Atlanta get a little draggy sometimes? They do, and if we're led to believe the right, well, what the crowd and the public are saying, this is a down year for Atlanta. Right. We still like it.
Starting point is 00:12:58 So, I mean, look, I would love to see Atlanta return to its prime that we've heard about that we haven't really quite gotten into yet. And maybe this would shuffle a bit. But yeah, I agree. With that being said, the new Roney reboot, I mean, it's only one episode in. It was a smashing success as far as response from the, you know, the audience response from critics like people that have seen the first episode it is what we remember as the early seasons of the o g roney and it pains a lot of people i think to admit that
Starting point is 00:13:28 ryan bailey actually posted a really funny meme it was like somebody with a weird haircut like looking over a balcony and it's like romona watching all of us enjoy season or the first episode of roney every single housewives franchise every single housewife should be on notice right now They should all be nervous about their futures on the show. Jesus. I know. One episode in, you're ready to make that. Because here's the thing, dude, if they are able to continue this run,
Starting point is 00:13:55 if they're able to continue to captivate audiences and show that Bravo can actually reboot, rejuvenate and restart these franchises successfully, you're going to start running into it in every single franchise. They're going to be like, okay, where can we trim the dead weight? How can we make this show fun again? O.C. is in tatters. Like, that's why they brought back Tamara. But instead of bringing back, oh, gee, people to rebuild these shows, clearly there's a formula that works.
Starting point is 00:14:20 That's why I kept putting so much emphasis to our audience, give this show a real shot. This could redo the entire landscape of Housewives. I do agree, and we've been talking about it for, I agree with most of it. There's one part that I don't agree with, but most of it I agree with in the fact that, yes, if this does work and it's a full reboot in a city that we know and it does really well, then yes. the rest of the housewives need to be on notice because Bravo will start looking at things. We know what they do. One thing goes well and they start to change things and push things and do this and narratives and all this bullshit.
Starting point is 00:14:55 They have a little bit of success and they just run with it. And I don't really understand what they're doing. Like you've got to kind of tinker here and there. And I think that's what that's the approach that they should take. If Roney does well, then yes, you pull OC down and try to figure it up. But there are other approaches to it like Miami where they took them off the air for a couple of years. Let them learn their lesson. They come back and it was a good season.
Starting point is 00:15:14 And now you're back on Bravo. You're not stuck on Peacock. There are other ways to do this. I am a little hesitant to think that Bravo's going to get it right. I could see them pulling down multiple franchises if this does well and just throwing things at the wall and just seeing what sticks. I'm not on board with that. Oh, but I do. I will.
Starting point is 00:15:31 No, no, I know you're not on board. That's not what I do. I'm not saying like get rid of the house. What I disagree with is I'll just tell you one episode, buddy. Let's pump the brakes. I enjoyed it. I thought it was really good. I liked it a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I'm excited for it. but for you to be calling this going on a run after one episode. I didn't say it was going on a row. Oh, yeah, he did. Play the tapes back. Run the tape. We got to run this tape back. Our listeners are going to know that you said if they can continue this run.
Starting point is 00:15:54 If they can. One is not a run. One is a run. So the Phillies win one game in a row and you're going to be like, I got to keep this run going, baby. Yeah, but that's just because I'm a Philly sports fan. I'm an idiot. Again, by the way, Phil's four in a row. That is a run, bitch.
Starting point is 00:16:10 That is a run. I'm on board with the show. show so far, but it is one episode. I agree. While there are certain aspects of it, that look a little different than other housewives, at least recently, which we'll get into a little bit later,
Starting point is 00:16:24 my opinion on that, I am not cautiously optimistic. I'm very optimistic. Okay. No, no, I think that's the correct approach. I don't want to jump the gun. I'm not saying that this is... You did already jump the gun. My point was that they did it. You nominated them for an Emmy.
Starting point is 00:16:40 They took an old franchise and what could have been an absolute disaster. The first impression is the most important episode. That's why I think I'm so excited about it. Because look around, look at the other shows that did not stick. Look at girlfriends in Paris that didn't make enough of a splash. This show did. They actually did it. So for them to gain traction out of the gate, everybody was looking for a reason to not like this show. Our audience leading up to this show kept saying shit like, no, I'm not going to watch. It's not Sony. It's not Luann. It's not Romano. All that nonsense. saying, even through the haters, they still were able to perform well.
Starting point is 00:17:16 So, yes, you're correct. We are optimistic. I should be a little more optimistic, not so steadfast in my beliefs. But look, when I'm right, I'm right, and I'm right, this is going to be a fucking winner. Keep the run going, baby. Keep the run going. We'll be talking about a run next week.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Let's talk about a little bit of news. There is some stuff going on in the Bravo sphere. We got Erica Jane, and of course... Zach had to text us this as soon as, like, because he went to this event where Erica met with the victims of Gerardi Kese, and he's been an advocate for Erica Jane since the beginning. He's claimed her innocence. He stood by her.
Starting point is 00:17:57 He's starting to get vindication over and over again. A judge ruled that she does, in fact, own the earrings. She got the earrings back. That's a big win for him. And Erica Jane. A good win for Zach. I'm going to bring this up at the live show next week. speaking of plug sneaky plug we have a live show next week july 26 that 730 at the city winery in
Starting point is 00:18:18 manhattan there's not a lot of tickets left we have megan king coming out tom hamlet is going to be our mc emily orozco is going to be there for our spilling tea panel zach peter me mgoots it's going to be an absolute blast so if you haven't gotten your tickets yet go get your tickets now no filter live dot com so there's a little sneaky shameless plug for you um back to eric jane it's nice to see you actually talk to the victims. We'll see what comes with that. And I'm excited for Beverly Hills this November. Do you think cameras are rolling? I don't know. Do you think they're still up? No, no, no. I don't think they're still rolling for that. I just meant I'm excited to see Beverly Hills come back. But up next, back in Beverly Hills, Kyle has been sober for a year.
Starting point is 00:19:02 And I will always shout out our Bravo Lebs when they are on their journey of sobriety. I think it's amazing. I'm very happy that she's able to complete a year. It's a huge milestone. Congrats to her. Keep up the good work. Keep fighting the good fight. And the last thing, back to Rony. Andy was on Watch What Happens Live with the entire Rony cast, and he asked them, have you gotten any bad interactions with the former Roney cast?
Starting point is 00:19:27 And there was mixed reviews, but Sye ended up saying, yeah, Ramona was a huge pitch to me, actually, in person, which is the least surprising news ever. If you had to tell me, like, who would have been the least cool about this, Ramona would have been my first guess. Yeah, I think without a doubt. I don't really think there's any other options there. But that takes us to Atlanta. Just give me a sec here while I take a sip from my super awesome bird dogs tumbler.

But back to Atlanta, I want to start. out with uh drew and ralph were at drew's house for a husband-led brunch and ralph says that he wants to set the tone for the trip because all the dudes get along really well and he wants to kind show them how to keep the energy cool and start them out on the right foot all i got from this is ralph is doing something shady and trying to cover it up by being like super husband which he is not and even drew calls it out she's like he's trying to do this to like
Starting point is 00:22:40 show everybody else he's just loving, caring husband or some shit. Like, no one's going to see that. Everyone's going to see through your bullshit. Yeah, I mean, the whole thing didn't really make a whole lot of sense. His sentiment is to show them that people can get along. And honestly, I mean, they cooked and then they went outside. Ralph doesn't get along with Drew. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:22:58 But the whole thing made, like, no sense. And poor Scotley walks in. He's a fucking chef and he has to cook. I know. On his day off, man. And he also, like, the minute he walks in, the minute he walks in Kenya shits on his style like leave the man alone you don't even know the man like he just walked in he thinks he looks good it's not shut up kenya yeah i mean is pissing
Starting point is 00:23:18 me off by the way also don't you think that if he's coming over to meet all of the girls don't you think marlowe's going to have a hand and like maybe you know where this or that i mean i know they haven't been dating like long enough that's what she said he's meeting her friends you would imagine she has some sort of opinion about what he's wearing but that's where the lay eBay comment came in. Yeah. And that was, every time they say Leibet, I laugh.
Starting point is 00:23:42 It's pretty funny. But I guess Candy has met him before. It makes sense because she's in the restaurant industry. And she was surprised. And this is more to your point last week where you were surprised that she's, Marlowe is dating somebody like Scottley, just because he's not the normal suspect where he's got a ton of money, he's throwing money at her.
Starting point is 00:24:00 I'm very confused because Candy said that he's the head chef at the continent. Yes. or Continental, whatever the place is called. He says he owns it. Could be both. They could be both. But those are two different things. The way that I took it was that he's part owner.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Okay. And that he has equity stake or something involved in there. And he's the head chef. And that makes a lot of sense. That tracks. Okay. Now, it is kind of funny that part owner slash chef is doing what he did with Marlowe at their date last week, where he gets a table and has people waiting on him and doing all these other things.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Like, that's actually kind of funny visual. But I do agree, and I thought the same thing. Now, this was actually a kind of a big moment, too, because we've seen Candy in the past. Candy, this, I mean, I know she was sick later, but Candy this episode was vastly different than before. Just the fact that she was even saying anything remotely nice about Marlowe and... Well, hold on, because, yeah, she said it remotely nice, but she also said horror behavior. Well, yeah, but that's typical, though. I feel like Candy would say that about anybody in the group, regardless of it.
Starting point is 00:25:06 If it was Kenya, she would say the same. It doesn't matter, though. No, I disagree because Marlowe has the reputation of potentially being a high-end escort. So for her to say horror behavior specifically about Marlowe, to me, is a direct dig at Marlowe. Yeah, I don't know. Candy, I have a hard time figuring out. I think that she would say it about anybody, though. Candy is hard to figure out.
Starting point is 00:25:26 But I like Candy. I like Candy a lot. But Candy's talking, and they're starting to cast for Todd's movie, finally. and Kenya is like automatically assuming she's like where's my offer i don't need to audition i'm way past auditions i haven't got my offer yet who's the leading lady incredible heather de bro energy yeah massive dubro energy here and candy goes drew and kenya loses it and i don't think she meant to i think this was a genuine what the fuck reaction of kenya she goes drew like could not believe it let's not forget drew had an actual acting career she was a child star for a while
Starting point is 00:26:03 Now, in the clips I've seen of her, she's not a bad actress by any means. Not at all. I mean, Kenya was in a movie about threesomes, which, by the way, I thought it was called Trio. Apparently, it was called Trois. Oh, it's a little fancier. A little more French. All you have to make it fancy, but yeah. To make a threesome sound classy is called a menagerie instead of a threesome.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Yeah, make it French, and then it's chic instead of gross. I guess. But the best part of this episode, I think, this might be the best part of the season for me because it's not a huge deal, but it's pretty fucking funny. Roy FaceTime's Kenya. Marlowe went on a date with Roy,
Starting point is 00:26:44 which is amazing. Like if anybody could have gone on a date with him, I'm so glad it was Marlowe, just so she has that over Kenya. And Kenya clearly feels a certain way about it. She is, her poker face sucks. Yeah, she's the worst. Yeah, she's not good at that,
Starting point is 00:26:59 especially when it comes to Marlowe. and just the idea that Marla, and you could tell even later when she was talking about it, she is upset about this. She's thought about it, and she says that she's known. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. But that juxtaposed to how she acted in the beginning of the season
Starting point is 00:27:16 with the DMs is wild. Crazy. That's not, I guess it's wild behavior, but it's also not unexpected. Not at all. The more and more I watch this, I feel like we're starting to get a feel for the ladies. We're starting to figure them out.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I'm sure much to our audience's pleasure, if that's what you want to say. Yeah. What's the word? I'm close to 100% back. I'm not all the way there yet. I'm getting there. But we are starting to like see through the cracks a little bit. Kenya is getting on my nerves. I don't know this holier than now attitude she has. I think she thinks she's a much bigger star than she actually is. And I might get some shit for that. I don't
Starting point is 00:27:54 know. But the way she talks down to people, we see it later with Courtney. I haven't seen Courtney be out with the root to her. I've seen Courtney make an effort. I've seen Courtney try to talk to her. Oh, the funny thing is Courtney has, Courtney's dialed it back. I don't know if it's editing, but Courtney has severely dialed it back. She was very annoying the first two episodes. And I haven't, I mean, to be fair, I haven't really noticed her a whole lot the last couple episodes, which is probably a good thing because that's the only thing I could focus on. But Courtney's still, like, for what we've seen where she's dialing it back, she walks into Drew's house and immediately gets chastised in form of Bryce walking in
Starting point is 00:28:30 and Candy looks over and goes, wow, you got to be quite the man to put up with this one over here. Like, seriously. And I agreed because Courtney has been a lot this season, I guess, but I don't think that she deserves that kind of behavior towards her. From what I'm gathering, like, I think that she came in nervous. I think she was trying to make friends. I think she did a little too much.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I'm sure it's intimidating. Like, this is a group of intimidating women. It's a lot of impressive women. They have a lot of big careers. Like, entering this space can't be that easy. Well, what do you think Courtney is going to be doing next year as Drew and Ralph are split? She's Ralph's cousin. Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:12 You think Courtney's still going to be on the show? Yeah, I do. You do? Okay. I do, yeah. I think I'm going to hold my opinion until the end of the season just because, look, if you're Courtney, you're trying to get your feet wet. Like you said, you're a little nervous in the beginning. and then you're kind of finding your stride,
Starting point is 00:29:25 maybe taking a step back in the last couple episodes, maybe she does a little bit more towards the end of the season to get back on her own. But if she doesn't do enough by the end of the season, then she's not going to be back because she doesn't have that connection with Ralph anymore. Yeah, no, but I think she has at least made a name for herself to come back as a friend of.
Starting point is 00:29:42 I don't ever see her being a full time on this show. No, right, yeah. But I can see her being like, you know, occasionally coming back. We'll see if she does enough. She's going to have to step up again at some point. And the thing is when she does, start to get involved a little bit she's so scared of these women that she always just like agrees
Starting point is 00:29:59 with them and she just kind of backs down like yeah later we'll see it later at dinner we'll talk about it later but like it's also just because she doesn't really have any allies that that's true too she's kind of just like treading water but brunch is served and charay this was so weird to me because her and drew are cool as far as i know and as far as drew knows and she takes a weird shot where she's like are you going to pay him because i read an article that you didn't pay a chef or something you guys are getting sued when she lays it out what happened i'm like oh well clearly the the chef is just trying to fuck with you because it's over a thousand dollars you're getting sued for it does sound to me like someone wanted to come audition for a cooking roll maybe made you some
Starting point is 00:30:38 food they're not obliged to pay you if that was the setup and they didn't like it like tough shit you got it you got to wear that thousand dollars but once the one thousand dollars came up i was like okay i actually believed true i don't think this is a big deal and this is a weird shot for charade to take after they've kind of smooth things over. Yeah, I think the timing of it is a little weird, but is this any different than any other housewife show that we've seen? They take shots like that all the time. That's not much different.
Starting point is 00:31:02 That's something to talk about in your own personal life. Yeah. So I didn't really see any, I mean, look, in a nutshell, in the real world, there's a problem there. In housewife world, I don't really see a problem with that. I guess it's, again, you know, learning who these women are like that's just Shire. Maybe I thought, you know, if Sharray is on this healing journey, she's trying to make nice with everybody.
Starting point is 00:31:21 what a weird time to take a dig when you're taking the group. I agree with that because she had just squashed it and buried the hatchet last week. And you want to talk all this healing nonsense. And yet here you are throwing some shit on the table to start some shit. But the next scene is everyone getting ready for Portugal. And of course, Ralph has to say that Drew's got a little fatty poking out. I didn't know if he was talking about her butt. I would like to think he's talking about her butt.
Starting point is 00:31:47 But I think he's an asshole and he was calling her fat, which is fucking brutal. Like, I, I don't hate a lot of house husbands. I fucking hate Ralph. Yeah, no, he's the worst. One good thing did come to that, and it was just the visual of what Drew said back, where she said, does it look like it's a biscuit can about to explain? And I was like, that's a really good visual. I know I understand exactly what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:32:09 And he did say no to that. But, yeah, he's a complete asshole. And that's, whether you're a husband or just another guy on the show, you just, why the fuck? Just don't, don't say it. Like, be nice to your wife. Yeah, for. Dick. The love of God.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Like, it's not hard. Clearly, I mean, they got divorced, but fuck, Ralph. But they get to Portugal. The hotel's legit. Thank God. We don't have the Birmingham days in, which is nice. And this is when we find out that Ralph is in Vegas for quote-unquote work. And for me, this made the brunch make all the sense in the world.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Because I was like, there's a reason. he's doing the brunch. There's no way he's just like, I'm going to do something nice for my wife because that's not Ralph. He's not nice. So I was already suspect of what was going on. The minute I heard he's going to not just like help out with this, what is it called? Chocolate City. And it's like Black Magic Mike is what they call it. And the thought that he's going to audition for this, that Rage's producer, who is a woman, reached out to Ralph, said, come out to Vegas and auditioned to be a stripper that's sketchy as fuck it is definitely sketchy and it is also kind of funny because ralph was going to be replaced in drew's video produced by rage because he has a dumpy body
Starting point is 00:33:32 according to i don't think he does i guess he did a good job in the video or else he wouldn't have been invited out to vegas this is what i think i think this producer has a crush on him i think this producer wants to get him out in Vegas alone she's building him up like oh yeah you can come out here and strip and like you can be magic mic and blah blah blah to me it sounds like she's trying to slide in. That's all I get from this. It's sketchy, it's gross, I don't like it. I think what we're seeing right now, and obviously we know how Drew and Ralph end, we don't know the specifics leading up to it. I think this episode was kind of the beginning of that, and there's more at work here where they're fighting, they're getting into arguments,
Starting point is 00:34:07 maybe they're not quite talking about ending their marriage, but you see Ralph doing something completely uncharacteristic of Ralph. Now, did he do anything specific at the breakfast? No, he made everybody else cook there was a fucking chef there also cooking i know did he actually do anything no he probably took like a thing a bacon out of the oven or whatever but he does that first then he's going out to vegas so there's some writing on the walls here and at the end of the episode we get drew crying over something that seems innocuous which will get a little more specific with i think what we're seeing is the crumbling of their marriage i think there's a lot of stuff at work and maybe because drew isn't candy she's not kenya she's not as polarizing on this show we're not getting a
Starting point is 00:34:48 whole lot of the backstory of her life because these other women who are more polarizing are taking a lot of the screen time. So we're not seeing a lot of it, but I think right now, I think this is a definitive moment in the end of their relationship. Yeah, I agree. And I think that this Vegas thing might come back. It's just the whole setup to me was bizarre. I'm like, and you're talking about it like it's normal. Like your guy's going to audition with a female producer to be in a stripper show. Yeah. I mean, you can do it one or two ways. You can either act like everything's normal and people will stop asking you about it. If it really really bothers you.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Oh, yeah. Or you can open up to your best friends. But then again, you have to bring in the camera aspect. You have to bring in the fact that Marlowe is there and you're not friends with Marlowe. Will Marlowe use this against me at some point? Maybe. Yeah, there's a lot at work here. I think what she's really doing is just deflecting and acting like everything's okay.
Starting point is 00:35:36 When everybody watching at home knows it's not okay. The next scene we get Drew and Mnietta talking and we get to find out. I thought this was really interesting that Mnietta has an orphanage in Big Ben, Swaziland. I don't know if she owns it or she sponsors it. I'm not sure, but I thought that was amazing. That's really, really cool. I thought it was even more amazing that Drew's never been to Africa, only South Africa. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:57 I didn't see anything wrong with that, though, because if you, like, you know, there's a huge difference between South Africa and the rest of Africa. It's a different country. I thought it's all the same continent. I know it's the same continent. I think we know what she meant. I know what she meant, but at the same time, like, you're still in fucking Africa. It's like, just because you go to Texas and it's a different planet down there.
Starting point is 00:36:17 He doesn't mean you didn't go to the United States. If Bravo didn't bring up the map of Africa and point at Africa right after she said that, do you think he'd feel the same way? Yes. Do you think Brava, okay. No, the minute I hear... I knew what she meant, so I just kind of... But here's my point.
Starting point is 00:36:32 South Africa. I get it. Africa. I understand. Okay. Yeah. I've never been to Africa. Only South what?
Starting point is 00:36:39 I feel like that's the only continent that makes sense, though. I see what you're saying. I'm not saying it's like ridiculous. I'm just saying South what? Africa. So you've been to Africa. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:36:50 But they start talking about Shirey, and Drew feels a certain way about the lawsuit thing. And this is where, of course, we're going to get it, but I wish that she could do herself a favor and not throw a dig back because now you're giving Shire ammo. And Shire is just looking for anything as we see at the dinner scene. She goes back to the whole confiscating her stuff after the reunion. But she's like, it's just weird that she would talk about me and not paying people when she has multiple lawsuits. and she's not paying multiple people and blah, blah, blah. So she kind of stirs the pot a little bit more. But at the same time, I get it.
Starting point is 00:37:21 She threw a shot. You're going to take a shot back. Yeah, I think that's where you draw the line, where it comes back up again. Like, the first time didn't really seem like that big of a deal. And people didn't really dig into it and start asking more questions or anything like we've seen in the past. It was just kind of a, okay, yeah, we'll talk about this right now. It should be over with at the brunch.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Instead, Shrey decides to bring it to Portugal and talk about it again. A thousand dollar lawsuit doesn't make any sense. Doesn't fucking matter, man. I think that what we always see is just the ulterior motive here, and Sherey is still butt hurt about the taking back her merchandise at the reunion. Which is bizarre, but let's get there. But again, we can move on from that, too. We don't need the harm on the same thing.
Starting point is 00:37:58 I know. I'm telling Sherey, not you. But that takes us to night one. And that's when they go out to this, the quotes in this just like, I fucking love them so much because they're going to dinner like, oh, authentic Portuguese food. No shit. You're in Portugal. you're not going to go out in Italy
Starting point is 00:38:17 and you go ooh authentic Italian food tonight you think we'd find a place like yeah there were a couple yeah like the tomahawk steak was really funny to see and I get it like chopped up
Starting point is 00:38:27 but that makes sense there was still a ton of steak there and Marlowe goes yeah it's mostly boat it's like no it's not no it's a big ass steak it's a huge fucking steak the food looked exquisite I was very impressed
Starting point is 00:38:37 to the presentation I thought the cocktails look great like that restaurant looked superb and the waiter I love the waiter tequila. They're like, yeah, reposolidia. Blanco, he's like, so tequila for everybody. Yeah. He's like, yeah, but like, try to figure out what shot to take of different guys.
Starting point is 00:38:53 He's like, so we're just doing tequila, everybody? Cool. Tequila for everybody. It comes back with full cocktails instead of shots. But this is where Courtney brings up her shit with Kenya. And she feels that, you know, I don't have a problem with Kenya. I feel like Kenya has been giving me mean girl energy, which she totally has. And it goes to that scene of Courtney kind of like touching her shoulder and Drew standing up for Kenya saying, you know, people have boundaries. you have to respect their boundaries. Yes, absolutely. But Kenya's being an asshole and just doing it for the sake of trying to piss Courtney off
Starting point is 00:39:21 because she thinks she's better than Courtney or something. That's the vibe I get. Courtney's not on my level, so don't touch me, don't talk to me. If I want to talk to you, I will. But, like, we're not on the same page. You're not on my level of stardom. So, like, just quiet down, friend of. Yeah, I get the same vibe from that.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And that's kind of like what I'm talking about where I feel like Courtney just doesn't have anybody to back her up. The closest person to her in that group, group is Drew, and Drew's the first person to speak up against it. Like, if you don't have that and that doesn't work, then, yeah, you're going to feel alienated. I think that she just needs to work on, you know, maybe being friends with Marlowe, maybe being friends with Sherey, Sonia, whoever. It's not working right now, but I feel the exact same way about Kenya where she looks at
Starting point is 00:40:04 Courtney, like, you're not on my level, don't fucking touch me. We're not, I don't have beef with you, but the only reason I don't have beef with you is because I don't even notice you. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and I hate that. It's so, it's just, it's really rude, and I don't like watching that. I don't like watching people treat people that way. You could be mean.
Starting point is 00:40:21 You can be, you can be a mean girl all you want. Yes. But when you're a dick like that, that's where we draw the line as bros. As bros, we don't stand for that shit, man. No way. But finally, we get to the Drew and Shiree shit, and Drew brings it up pretty gently. She says, I just, I'm confused because I thought we were cool. Then you take a shot at me at the brunch.
Starting point is 00:40:43 I didn't understand that. It's a lawsuit. It's a serious thing. You know, I can't really talk about it. I don't know why after we have seemingly moved forward. And while she's trying to talk, Shiree's just talking. And I hate that. I hate talking over.
Starting point is 00:40:56 And she's just talking over, talking over. And Sherey's getting pissed off. Do I need to remind you, Shiree? This is your healing trip. You brought these women to Portugal for all of its healing properties, and you won't even hear somebody out that has a beef with you, a legitimate beef with you. Because you want to bring up the fact that she said that her shit was confiscated, when you gave everybody free she-by-sure shit at the reunion.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Guess what? Everybody there goes on record in the confessional and says, yeah, all of my shit was taken, except Marlowe who's sitting there in a shirt, a hat, she has a sweatshirt. I love that. That scene was great. But everyone says, yeah, my shit got taken too. Like some of us got hats, but most of us got nothing. Yeah, so this could have just been something small if you just left it there.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Because honestly, if you asked us a few weeks ago, we would have said, yeah, it sounds like maybe her purse was on the wagon that was coming in or whatever. We agreed with that and we said, you know what? Cool, whatever. That was your personal purse. Clearly you can't have that. Maybe Drew shouldn't be talking about it on a podcast. We were fully not even in support. We were just saying it's
Starting point is 00:41:58 a non-issue. But you brought it to the point that now everybody's coming out saying, I'm corroborating this story. This absolutely happens. So now you look like an asshole on top of the fact that you're talking over her while she's talking and this is what I don't understand. And I
Starting point is 00:42:14 know they quote unquote squashed it. I guess in Shre's mind, we squashed our beef a couple of weeks ago, so now we're good and I can talk to you straightforward and I can give you what I have issues with. And we can talk about this and squash us like, quote unquote, friends, that doesn't make any sense to them. When you squash a beef, you try to be nice to somebody for an extended period of time, get close to them. And then when you have issues, you talk to them straightforward.
Starting point is 00:42:38 You don't do it a week later. But she even says, like, no, we're not cool. We didn't smooth it over. It's like, well, then what conversation did we watch? But you, I didn't even realize, like, that point you just made. Shiree, you would have had way more support if you hadn't brought it back up. Now everyone's speaking out. Like, yeah, no, my shit got taken to.
Starting point is 00:42:55 No one said. Because they're probably tired of hearing it. I'm sure they are. I'm tired of hearing it. Stop talking about it. You took your shit back. Yep. And she's like, I had nothing to do with it.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Well, your team did. They took your shit back. And you really can't give people the hats. Come on, man. Yeah, it made no sense. Give us some hats. Yeah, I'll take a she by Shire hat. But this is where Drew starts crying.
Starting point is 00:43:16 And I think you're 100% correct. I think that there is way more here than her just being upset by Shire. I think that this is what's set her over. But I think that there's a lot of emotions in there because of her shit at home. And, you know, we don't wish that on anybody. That sucks. But I'm curious to see how it shakes out. I wonder if that's going to take center stage.
Starting point is 00:43:41 I wonder if that started happening. close enough to filming that we're going to see the actual like they're going to try to produce it that way i know that they're going to try to show cracks in the marriage and stuff yeah up to it just because we're expecting it i think but i wonder how much they actually got on camera yeah and i think that sneakily drew is i don't want to say carrying the season but when you think about the things that she's going through she reconnects with her sister who she's been disconnected with for years she gets back on stage and starts singing again she does a music video got a lead in a movie. She's got a lead in the movie. She's going through whatever the fuck she's going through with her then husbands. There's a lot going on. And I'm not even just talking just from like content purposes on the show in a person's life. That's a lot to handle in a short amount of time. By the way, I love. Two months of things going on. It's like years and years of things going on and just packed into two months. And now, yeah, I mean, do I think it's all Ralph? I think it's probably like 80% Ralph. I feel like we're not seeing a whole lot of that. And there's a lot more behind the scenes.
Starting point is 00:44:42 but yeah I did think it was weird that she cried but it was honestly just a split second that I thought it was weird that she cried and then it clicked and I'm like she's going through a lot of shit she's going through a lot of shit it's a lot of good shit but I also think the fact maybe she feels guilty that she has so much good shit going on
Starting point is 00:44:58 but her marriage isn't going great maybe she feels guilty because Ralph I don't know she seems to have way more sympathy for Ralph than Ralph does for her and I can't ever get over this scene when we started watching Atlanta I watched the wrong season by accident I watched two episodes of last season
Starting point is 00:45:14 and I'll never forget this scene dude it stuck with me this is my introduction to Ralph he set up this dinner for either an anniversary or something they were it was a special night because they were going through it and he was trying to like show her he cared the way he talked to her at this dinner because she still wanted to talk about things and he
Starting point is 00:45:30 is the kind of guy and these guys are the absolute fucking worst they think a grand gesture cancels out idiot behavior yeah just because you do something nice does not cancel out the fact that you're an asshole like take note any dude's listening right now if you're a dick a grand gesture doesn't fix it a grand gesture is a nice gesture but you still have to address the fucking problem so ralph i just i can't
Starting point is 00:45:53 say it enough this guy stinks so much here's a better idea get her double feature tickets to barbenheimer and you don't have to talk about anything because you don't talk to our movies this episode sponsored by barbentheimer it sounds like a shaving gel it does like barbassol yeah radioactive barbassol Are you tired of sacrificing comfort for style when it comes to your active wear?

Starting point is 00:48:11 You won't want to take your bird dogs off. We promise you. But that takes us to our new franchise, my new love, Rony, the new Roney, Roney rebooted, Roney 2.0. I don't know how other ways to say Roney, but macaroni, baby. Yeah. I actually thought that Roney was an an anagram for horny, and I was going to say horny for Roney. And it's a lot of sense. Is it?
Starting point is 00:48:37 No, it's not. There's another N in there. No. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. Damn it. I was like, I wrote Rony on my buzz. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Yeah, we'll just. You made me feel dumb. I'm like reading Rony like self-feel. R-H-O-N-Y, H-R-N-Y, H-R-N-Y. H-R-N-Y for Roney. There's not Ronnie, two-ends, you dumb-ass. I don't know. No, whatever.
Starting point is 00:48:57 It doesn't matter. Anyway, we've already touched on a little bit, but how, let's go one through 10. You know, I like to do this. One through 10. What's your ranking? Rating. I'm giving into solid, 9-1.
Starting point is 00:49:10 9-1, I would agree. 9-1 is a great place to start. Didn't want to put it in the 8th. Didn't want to give it higher than that. Be a little overzealous about the whole thing. But overall, enjoyed it. Like I kind of alluded to earlier, there's a couple of aspects that are different,
Starting point is 00:49:26 and I can't tell if it's just new faces or productions a little different. It just seemed a little different than the other shows that we've been watching. I agree, but it's refreshing. I think that's like what I, I was texting Deb. She hasn't watched it yet.
Starting point is 00:49:42 And I was like, this is just refreshing. They're fighting about cheese, and I fucking love it. Like, I love everything about it. Oh, you said spoilers? I just said there, everyone's talking about the cheese. All right, it's been all over Instagram. I just said to her, shut up. But we get an intro to all these women, and it goes one by one.
Starting point is 00:49:59 We start out with Bryn. Bryn's the fun girl. She's the bubbly one. She's going to stir shit up. You can tell right out of the gate. Jenna, HBIC, no doubt about it. She was the president of Jake. crew she is the minute you look at her she's just swaggy
Starting point is 00:50:13 like wow like she's cool as fuck like she's really cool and then you get jessel who's a publicist you get sye who is a content creator you get uba who is ion's cousin chanelle ion's cousin and when i tell you i was so excited that she was on this show i was like oh my god she's got glimpses of chanel ion in there too i don't want to i don't want to jump it right now but bring chenelle to new york we did say last If we lose Dubai overall, which I don't give a shit about Dubai, I was thinking about that today. I don't know if it's coming back, haven't heard a word, don't care. Don't care.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Bring Chanel to New York. We had said, if you're going to reboot Roney, bring Chanel to New York. They sort of did. They brought Uber, and Uber's great. And Uber, there's a lot of Chanel in there. But I think if you get that duo together, if you bring Chanel in, if Dubai tanks, which it very well might, and you bring Chanel over, over to New York if she's down for that give her like a year or two a friend of i mean i'm sure she's probably in and out of the country doing whatever i wouldn't be surprised if we get
Starting point is 00:51:17 i think that would make sense we definitely get an eye on i don't know see that's so strange because season one which is actually funnier because they rebooted everyone and i was actually somewhat surprised to see season 14 episode one i wasn't oh you thought i thought i thought it was going to be one of one i thought it should be i think it should be just because it's a full reboot. If you drop a couple, obviously, it keeps going. But I agree. I think it should be a standalone, but I guess they probably didn't want to lose the luster of Roney. I guess, yeah. I don't know. That's an interesting point. And then the last one is Aaron. And let's power rank. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:51:56 You know, power rank? Let's see a power rank. I'll go first. So my power ranking is Jenna one, Uba 2 Bryn 3 Cy 4 Jessel 5 Aaron 6 You're putting Aaron at the bottom Yeah I don't like Aaron
Starting point is 00:52:11 Interesting How about that I am also putting Jenna 1 I'm going to put Brin 2 And we'll get into that a little bit later And I'm going to put Aaron 3 actually
Starting point is 00:52:23 I like Aaron a lot Jessel 4 Uba 5 UBA can climb these rankings very easily. Very fast. She didn't do a whole lot. Yeah, we got a lot more out of the others. I think I'm more excited about Ouba what she's going to bring.
Starting point is 00:52:39 You're right. She didn't do a lot. I'm just like she got a bump because of Chanel Ion. Right. And I'm putting sigh at the bottom. Interesting. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:47 So we're a little split. I like that. I love when we're not in agreement. It makes this much more. You know we agree on 1-1. Yeah, 1-1. Genal Lyons is dope. Like she's awesome.
Starting point is 00:52:55 I think she, if this doesn't work, she gets her own show because I'll watch that. Sure. Why not? We started out. We're at a size house with Bryn, and she lives in Brooklyn. And I hope to be wealthy enough one day when people walk into my home that I'm like, would you like some house shoes? You want to put some house shoes on?
Starting point is 00:53:14 I've got an extra pair of house shoes. Did you offer me house shoes? You know. Well, no. You're a crusty feet? I think you probably don't have crusty. Are you wearing socks? Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Okay. Then, yeah, no, I think you'd be all right. I don't see as a crusty feet. I have gross feet because I was a catcher. So, yeah, I would probably need house shoes. But I want to be. some house shoes. You're missing the point. I want to have enough money. What were you talking about again? Where house shoes are a real thing when you walk into my home. But it's just a little
Starting point is 00:53:40 quick touch on these two. And you kind of get a feel for who Bryn is right out of the gate. Like, she's definitely the bubbly one. She's definitely going to start a lot of shit. She kind of just says whatever's on her mind. And you need that, right? You can see the makings of housewife shows in all of these characters. You've got the HBIC, Jenna Lyon, she's going to hold it down. You've got Bryn, she's going to be the fun one. That's also going to stir up some shit. Sy? Si, I'm a little confused on so far.
Starting point is 00:54:07 I don't know what her role's going to be yet, but the next scene is Uba and Aaron, and it's juxtaposed to Bryn, Cy, and Jessel. And this is where we get into Cheesegate. And I guess what happened is there was a dinner at I love that they kept bleeping it out.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Oh, so I... The restaurant's called Kraft. Yeah, oh, you knew who it was. Yeah, it's about craft. The restaurant is craft. You know why it was bleeped out? Because they were talking so much shit about it? Well, yes. But it's also, it's Tom Colicchio's restaurant, and he's on Top Chef. Also on Bravo.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Oh. Yeah. So they're, ooh. They are shitting on a Bravo restaurant. Well, not, I mean, indirectly, Bravo. What did they think was going to happen? They didn't think we're going to figure out what the name of the restaurant was. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:54:50 I don't think that they really cared. I think that they thought it was maybe funny, and it would just add in it. Because I thought it was kind of funny that they got. I did, too, because they're bleeping fuck. and then they're also bleeping craft. Yeah. But they ditched on dinner at Kraft because it's not 2005. Sorry, not 2006 and then not 2005, which is also not 2012.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Yeah, it's not a year that it's not today, is what they're saying, which is math. And that to me, the point of this dinner, what Aaron was saying, and I agreed with her here, where she's like, the point is to get all these ladies together. We're on a show together, like, let's sit down and have a dinner. You guys ditched and then posted on Instagram that you were. at a different restaurant. I think that's a shitty look. And the reason for it is that you're too good to go to Kraft?
Starting point is 00:55:33 Pretty much. And honestly, this is just watching this. I feel like I got a grasp of what's going on. And the reason for that is when we see Aaron talking to Uber, Aaron has an issue with Bryn. Now, if memory serves me correctly, both Bryn and Sai did not go. And they both said that they weren't feeling well or couldn't go and just bailed entirely
Starting point is 00:55:55 and clearly went to a different restaurant. but Aaron's issue is with Bryn. And this is even slightly before the whole Cheesegate thing because Aaron didn't realize what was going on about Cheesegate until a day or two later. So in a nutshell is just them ditching, which I agree. One, you're starting a show together.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Like, yeah, you guys should all go out and try to get on the same page. That way you seem a little more comfortable with each other. We see it later when Jenna says, yeah, I had to kind of choreograph this whole game because I'm not as close with all of the ladies. I haven't met all of them more than, you know, a handful of time. So it makes sense
Starting point is 00:56:29 to all sit down. What I think's going on is I think that Sye is a hot take number one of the year. Hi. It's a high. Cy is Brin's underling, if you will. Where Brin is the powerful one that said, fuck that, we're not going there.
Starting point is 00:56:45 It's not 2003. Throw another year out there. We're going to go over here. We're just going to bail on them. And Sye just went. And when Aaron later had issues, she only had issues with Brin. Even though Sye was involved in both things, She says that she doesn't have an issue with Sye because Sye was like, yeah, that's my bad. Like, yeah, we ditched.
Starting point is 00:57:01 I'm sorry. But she didn't say, yes, we ditched. And yes, you know, I didn't, I fucking love cheese. I didn't have an issue with that. But, yeah, I'm sorry that we ditched. She said that later at Jennis. I know, I know. So even leading up to it.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Yeah, eventually she didn't have an issue with her. But you would imagine that she would have had an issue with Sye leading into it. You would think. But I did figure out what Bryn was doing. Yes. So the reason that she, in my opinion, brought up the cheese thing was to deflect from the fact that she's the asshole for ditching dinner. I think so, too, yeah. Because she's like, yeah, she picked out, she looked in and says, what's that? Cheese, that's weird. And we watch Cy eat cheese throughout
Starting point is 00:57:35 the entire episode. They all eat cheese. Who doesn't eat cheese? Eat cheese. Eat cheese. Eat the cheese. But it was just a- Begans. Again? Or are you taking a shot of vegans again? We do this all that, we do this every once in a while. We have no issue with vegans, but cheese is so good, man. Vegan cheese is not. I'm sorry. If you're a vegan, I have no problem. They can live your life. life, live your life. Honestly, say, I have never tried vegan cheese, never will. I do not care for it.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Yep. I do not care for it. Again, no issue with vegans at all. Live your life, do what you got to do. Vegan cheese is not good. I don't care what kind of vegan cheese. It's just not good. Vegan ice cream.
Starting point is 00:58:11 I've had some decent vegan ice cream. I've had some decent vegan ice cream. I've had really great vegan food. Vegan cheese is never, ever good. You know what it tastes like if you took? Chalk? Exactly. So, yes, because.
Starting point is 00:58:25 is if you took the craft Easy Mac cheese, the powder, and just poured it directly on your tongue. No. No. You can't make you do that. No. So that's to me what it tastes like. But anyway, enough with the vegan rant.
Starting point is 00:58:37 I'm sure we're going to get some shit for that one. But the next scene, we get to meet Jessel and her husband Pavett. And I don't like Jessel that much either. I know I ranked her, I think, four or five. I had a solid three, I think. Did you ever add a three? Here's the thing. I think that I ranked her.
Starting point is 00:58:55 based on housewife ability. I think she's going to be good for this show. I do not care for the subtle digs at her husband. Like the whole schick that, oh, he's dumb. Oh, I don't say nice things about him. Oh, like, he's failing miserably at helping pick out my outfit. Go get me a glass of wine. That's not charming.
Starting point is 00:59:13 It's not fun. I don't like it. I don't have any issues with that. I do. You know what? I think that he's the kind of guy just based off of one episode that kind of finds the humor in that. And just based off of him, he was still sitting at the, table working in his t-shirt and jeans or whatever he was wearing, even though Jessel was
Starting point is 00:59:30 running around trying to clean things up, like spotlessly cleaning things because their friends were coming over, and obviously we're filming here, he still didn't get up until after... Because he's working. He's working. Yeah, he didn't actually leave... I get that he's working. I understand it, but I don't think that he had an issue with it, so I don't have a problem with it. I have a problem with it.
Starting point is 00:59:49 I don't like it. I just don't like it. I think you don't need to be mean to your husband just because you think it's cute or funny. Like, just leave the guy alone. but Jenna arrives and again as soon as she walks in just swag like dripping in swag and this is her first like real sit down with Jessel they both worked in fashion for a while I guess Jessel grew up in London moved to New York City when she was 22 right after college and got into the fashion industry so they've bumped shoulders before but never really sat down to get to know each other I would imagine it's a big deal for a lot of these women to meet Jenna lions like I imagine she's probably a big name I would imagine she's probably a big name I would imagine imagine so too and this is one of the things that I liked about Jenna is how often do we meet housewives or meet new friends of and they're always incredibly vague about what they do for work
Starting point is 01:00:36 oh she was very descriptive incredibly descriptive like I appreciated that beyond anything same it was awesome some of these other women like it was just she gave that rundown she gave that like coming up from nothing rundown where she was sitting outside of an office and she was an assistant to an assistant to an assistant. And now she was running pretty much all of North America, Jay Crewe and doing all of this and that. Even name drops Michelle Obama.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Yeah. And how big that was for Jay Crew. She's awesome. And I love the specificity of everything that she was talking about with her career. When we don't get that... I understand, like, yeah, I'm a content creator.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Okay, whatever. I know what that is, but I don't need you to get more specific with that. It's the other ones where it's like, yeah, Aaron is in real estate, okay, whatever. I need to know more about your careers because that's honestly
Starting point is 01:01:23 that's how we're going to latch on to people like yeah you're going to do things on screen but I need to know your backstory yeah because it impressed us it's amazing her career is incredible she's a very impressive woman and they sit down and they're chatting and the cheese comes up again and just was like don't bring cheese to your party because
Starting point is 01:01:39 it's going to be an issue and Jenna is like I have nothing but cheese we're doing only cheese which is a great party by the way hilarious I know I loved that part of that that had to have been played land. 100%.
Starting point is 01:01:53 There's no way that was just... Absolutely. Let's have a fondue party. Cheesegate. But we're still meeting everybody, so let's keep meeting everybody. The next people we meet are Aaron and Abe and the family. Why is Abe's hair wet? Why?
Starting point is 01:02:07 I don't understand that look. I don't get the wet gel look. I don't really know either, honestly. I mean, I understand it if you're like... What? When? I'm trying to think. Like, you got that kind of gel in your hair and you're on stage and there's lights shining.
Starting point is 01:02:21 like we're going to be next week. Right. It might look a little wet, but he's in the comfort of his own home. I know, and it looked like he just got out of the shower. No, he didn't. He's in a business suit.
Starting point is 01:02:29 That's his gel. I'm saying that's his hair gel. I just, I don't love the wet hair gel look. Usually I catch things like that. You spot on. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 01:02:37 But I do really enjoy their family. Aaron, so far, like I said, is not my fave, but I did like the family dynamic. I like all the family dynamics on the show. You know we like that here at the brav-brows. We love to see the families. We love to see the interaction with the kids.
Starting point is 01:02:51 I did actually appreciate when they're over at Sy's house. And they're like, all right, manny's got the kids. Let's go out back and have some booze. I also love what Bryn said, where she said, yeah, I think she said my ovaries are flipping. Flipping when I see size kids. And then when I see Jessel's kids come in, I immediately say I'm never having kids. I guess Kai and Rio are screaming and breaking things. But, you know, toddlers, man.
Starting point is 01:03:17 What are you going to do? but it was very, I like to see that. And so I did like Aaron and her family. I thought they were really nice. But moving on, we're getting ready for the party at Jenner's house. And, like, it was funny. As I'm watching the episode,
Starting point is 01:03:29 I'm kind of getting giddy to get to Jenner's house. I was like, I want to see what's like in there. I want to see these girls all together finally. Like, Cheesegate to me is the perfect way to intro us to a new cast. It's light enough where it's kind of funny. There's clearly more behind it. but it's just a perfect icebreaker because it's just like easy drama. Let's see how everybody reacts.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Let's see how everyone plays. Like, is everyone to play cool? Who's going to come in too hot? Like, what's the vibe going to be? And it's not big enough to ruin a friendship. Yeah. But it's big enough to force a conversation, which it does. But Aaron and Jessel are facetiming, getting ready for the party.
Starting point is 01:04:07 This is where Jessel's rude about her husband. Once again, he can't help me pick anything out. Go get me a glass of wine. Tutta. Poor Pavit. Still no problem. Whatever, dude. But on the FaceTime, Aaron says, I didn't say shit about the cheeseboard.
Starting point is 01:04:21 And then she says, one of my least, and maybe this is why she moved down on my power rankings, one of my least favorite defenses in all of Bravo is it was a joke. No, it wasn't. It was not a joke. Anytime I hear it was a joke, it means it wasn't a joke. It means you were being serious. He took something a certain way. You said something in passing.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Maybe you didn't mean it wholeheartedly, but you can't backtrack and say, I was joking. The vibe that I get from Aaron is that she wouldn't joke about something. something like that. That's what I'm saying. Like, and we've known her for one episode, but just based on her, how other women are kind of reacting to the things that she said and how they have an idea for who she is. And honestly, just after watching one episode with her in there, I can't see her joking about that. I think she is one of those people that takes things personally, which we've heard multiple people say just throughout the entirety of the episode.
Starting point is 01:05:08 I agree. I think that she took it personally. She reacted. But we get to Jenna's and Aaron's the first to arrive and maybe this is also it's all little stuff and it's not like I oh Aaron sucks like she doesn't at all and I'm sure I'll grow to probably like her as a housewife but this definition of who Jenna Lyons is by
Starting point is 01:05:27 Aaron she's like everyone's so you know nervous around her she's like this enigma she's just kind of a quirky lady like she doesn't like dill but loves parsley those are wildly different flavors it's also that's weird that that was the first example that she makes no sense
Starting point is 01:05:43 sense. And by the way, buddy, dill and parsley, literally, night and day. No, I'm going to hammer this shit home because that's so weird. That's like saying, oh, this, it's like comparing ice cream to bread. It doesn't make any fucking sense. Like, they taste completely. I know they're both herbs, sure. It's gluten in both of us. Look, dill and parsley, night and day, do not compare, dumb comparison, didn't care for it. I really, that, that's just a me thing, as you know. No, that's fine.
Starting point is 01:06:15 I get stuck on shit like that. I also thought that it was weird that that was the first example that she used to the point where I had to rewind and watch it again because I was too caught up on that first one. You know what I think it was? I think she was trying to show that she knows Jenna better. She's cooler with her than everybody else. Like, ah, she's trying to drop little things of why Jenna is the way that she is. And I think it's her trying to set herself apart from the other.
Starting point is 01:06:38 We saw it with Diana Jenkins in the early episodes. to Beverly Hills. People were trying to relate to her more. That's what I think I'm, that's what I can. Maybe. I mean, it's a confessional from the first episode, and you're right. Like, Jenna doesn't really know a lot of these women, but she does know Aaron, and I, you know, we know that she knows Aaron.
Starting point is 01:06:54 So I didn't really see any, aside from that example that she used. You're just so understanding. I didn't see any issues. Look, what? I'm going into this not being negative about. I'm not negative. I'm just calling shit out when I see it. You're just being very, very.
Starting point is 01:07:10 agreeable. I don't get it. Who the fuck are you? Just having a good time. I hate it. Anyway, everyone else gets there. Jen is upset about the lack of khaki. I would be too. If I threw a khaki party. Well, it was funny that it was pouring rain and khaki is probably one of the funniest things to wear in the rain. Oh, yeah, it's not a great.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Like, we used to steal and I used to wear khakis in high school every day. And when it rained, it was hilarious to look at the khakis walking around. But one thing that bothers me in these shows, and it happens all the time. And I know that they coordinate when each person's going to, to show up to an event and they hold them back and they make them sit in a car and whatever bullshit just once it would have been nice came in really hot right there oh yeah just once it would be nice if erin showed up said hi to jennah and the very next person that walked in was brin now i'm okay with how the scene played out later because i didn't expect that but in that moment
Starting point is 01:08:03 how great would it be to have that awkwardness get it out of the way in the beginning make the two of them sit down alone exchange pleasantries get through the whole thing jenna has no idea what's going on she's an innocent third party to all of this make them sit together by themselves and wait for uba to show up wait for sigh to show up i don't care who who comes in next it would be really funny of course britt has to come in last yeah but i think they definitely plan it that way as you said but i did like that aaron goes no i'm not going to bring it up right out of the gate i'm going to sit on it we're gonna just act like everything's cool and i'm gonna fuck her up like i like that line that That's a good line.
Starting point is 01:08:38 So pointing her corner there. Not only that. I also love that Bryn walked in and was immediately scared and said, I'm scared. I'm scared. Yeah. I am going to enjoy myself. I'm going to eat some cheese. I'm going to have a few drinks.
Starting point is 01:08:51 And then I'm going to die. She just kept making that joke and it was really funny. But also, we never see that. We always see the one who stirs the pot is always the one who denies things, who always gets so standoffish and who always takes like the high pedestal stance on things. Brin was scared and laughing about it and it was funny
Starting point is 01:09:11 she made it playful to the point where it kind of disarmed us as the audience and it made me like Brin and also like Aaron because Aaron approached it in a better way too
Starting point is 01:09:20 I thought Aaron approached it well I didn't think that that would happen and I've never in my wildest dreams thought that I'd be able to see that on a housewife show Roney 2.0 exactly because we've seen so much bullshit over the years
Starting point is 01:09:30 with these fucking shows now we're stuck in the mud with half of these franchises and then this comes in and we expect the same and we get something completely different. And I know that it's something innocuous like CheeseGate, but still to see them handle things the way that they handled it,
Starting point is 01:09:46 and the outcome was hilarious, and I loved it. I agree. That's why I think CheeseGay was... Suck at other franchises. Oh, who's jumping on the train now? Ball, it's been one episode, dude. It's been one episode, dude. But let's talk about Jenna's apartment real quick.
Starting point is 01:10:02 First of all, like we talked about earlier, the setting as far as every cheese. She's under the sun was present at that party. Even fondue. I haven't had fondue in so long. Neither I really, when they said fondue. I was like, I need to make some fondue. So I might do that for family dinner on Thursday.
Starting point is 01:10:16 We have family dinner. We have family dinner with our friends from high school every Thursday because we're so cute. We're so cute, our little frownly. Don't call it framley. You don't want to be my fram? Didn't definitely say not to say frownly? I said don't say framly.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Yeah, she thinks it was corny. But you don't want to be my fram? Come on. We can be framly on the low. Cool. You can do that? what are you asking you want to trade bird dog pants these ones have liners oh i do too
Starting point is 01:10:46 it was taking a weird turn anyway um generaline's apartment is awesome and i texted dev i was like you are going to love her decor spoiled the show for her i know i did a little bit but she the funny thing is though dev is a she likes to know what's happening before she watches like she's already done her due diligence like she's like oh my god i watched them. They did like a tour of her apartment. The kitchen, that's my dream kitchen. I love black cabinets. I love when they're floor to ceiling like that. The gold back splash, that whole entire setup is literally like a fucking dream. She had a really good idea for a game. So like the
Starting point is 01:11:23 small talk game, she admits it like that's her kind of, she's not great at the small talk. So she comes up with this game and it's all sex talk, which is funny. And I think that is a great way to kind of break the ice because you can't be more vulnerable than when you're talking about sex. the first thing is like the ideal porno. We get the Jenna Lyons, black and white, very classy porno. It was funny. And then, like, who in the group is, like, submissive, who's dominant, all that stuff? It does break the ice until we get to Cheesegate.
Starting point is 01:11:51 And Jen had a very good point. Are we really stopping our sex talk to discuss cheese? Yeah, it was a really good point. And I thought it was really funny timing-wise because you had Brin sitting over there talking about how Aaron is a lot of fun. And I love Aaron. As soon as she starts drinking, she's a lot of. lot of fun she's basically me sober which i love and i thought that was a really funny line and then
Starting point is 01:12:13 as soon as you finish that confessional you can see errands yeah maybe a little tipsy and she looks right over her brin and it's like we're going to talk about this right now yep yep she's she literally just flat out goes brin's lying and then brin explains and she just says like you know and you said she said it was weird or whatever and it's clearly just brin trying to start some shit and jena squashed it's like guys this is bullshit just shut up like who cares let's move on I love that we have that person on the show. Every Housewife franchise needs one of those. It's going to direct the conversation, keep it going, keep it moving.
Starting point is 01:12:45 A very garcel role. That's a very good way to put it. Yeah, it's a very Garcel role. But I love that Aaron's like, all right, let's go. We're going to the other room. Let's talk about this. See, Aaron's slowly ticking back up in my book. See, I'm not as we talk about it.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Yeah, that's what happens. And she pulls her aside. They go into the other room. They're talking about it. And again, we get that funny cut scene of Bryn, like, I'm horrified. I'm going to go die. like I and it is it's very disarming and it's nice it's it's relatable I like that we don't just have everyone acting like a hard ass all the time because you can see right through 90% of the housewives when they do it like you're not that you're not that guy pal not that but they sit down and Aaron has a good point and I think that this is what the dinner was I don't think that it was they're too good for craft I think that Bryn's trying to align with somebody they're picking sides already we're already going to see some some factions form.
Starting point is 01:13:38 We see it on every single show. It happens no matter what. You will see teams. You will see duos, trios, whatever. They will fall apart eventually. But you will always have your mainstays. To me, this was a defining moment where she was picking a team. All right, size cool, I'm cool.
Starting point is 01:13:54 We're going to do our own thing. We're too cool. We're going over here. You guys do your thing, whatever. That's what I got. After Aaron explained it that way, that does make sense to me. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense to me. But I also, like I said earlier, both of the,
Starting point is 01:14:07 them handled it well i thought that the way that brin she didn't just yes her to death she didn't just deflect she didn't try to explain her end of it she knew she was wrong she kept saying that she was going to die i love that scene of her walking through jena's shoe closet and saying wow this is incredible oh wow i'm walking my death oh my god this is here comes my death and like that was really funny to me and it's again it's just super disarming to see that because you're not like on pins and needles going into it you expect them to actually resolve something which is crazy They did. And they sat down and they had...
Starting point is 01:14:39 It broke Jenna's chair. And Brin kept trying to break Aaron and make her laugh. But she did eventually apologize. And I thought that it was a genuine apology. I think that she had zero idea what Aaron was mad about. And when Aaron actually explained what she was mad about, Brin understood that's what she was mad about and agreed and said, you're right.
Starting point is 01:14:57 That's wrong. I'm sorry that I did that. They made up. They had a very playful, fun walk back out there. I thought that Brin did a good acting job there. I did do it. Aaron kind of ruined the moment. because she was laughing immediately when she was walking in.
Starting point is 01:15:09 I think she was a little tip. But overall, it was really funny and it ends on a good note to the point where you're, again, hopeful for the rest of the season. I think it's going to be great. I agree. I think that we have the makings potentially of a great show. I hope it continues in this direction. There's going to be, you know, eventually there's going to be a DUD episode.
Starting point is 01:15:28 It happens across all franchises across all seasons. I'm okay with DUD episodes as long as there's no inorganic bullshit. Agreed. Just don't fabricate any drama. just leave it make it clean it's new york people are still going to watch i don't care how many comments we get about how people aren't watching because they're so stuck in the fucking past go to craft if you're stuck in the past go to craft with romona i don't give a shit just go ahead and do it but we're going to be watching a good show and we're going to be enjoying it and you're
Starting point is 01:15:55 going to be sad but that takes us to our question portion of the show you guys have a lot of questions about roney so let's dive right in up first from gibbs six. Who's your early favorite? After talking about the episode, has your favorite changed? No, Jenice. I think it's still number one. Jen is still number one for me, too. Ooh, I like this one. Since we don't do our Rosenthorn for our midweek episode, this is an interesting way to tie it in. This name is really difficult. Sell it out. No, no, no, I got this. From Christy Jedlicky.
Starting point is 01:16:31 That's got to be it. And if it's not, I'm sorry. Who, it says, who is your rose and who's your thorn for Roney after episode one, but I'm going to say what is your rose and thorn for episode one. Pick, yeah. Okay. It can be a person, but it could also be just like a moment. I don't really think that I have a thorn.
Starting point is 01:16:56 The rose is, I mean, it sounds like we're getting fucking paid by Bravo at this point. It really does. We're not. Hopefully one day. You're not. You're not above. rivalry. We just haven't gotten any yet. Yeah, I'm going to say that my, my rose is actually seeing as small as a conflict as it was, actually seeing something get resolved for once in one episode and not dragging out for too long. I don't think, I genuinely don't think we're going to even hear about Cheescape moving forward unless it's a joke.
Starting point is 01:17:23 There'll be a lot of jokes. Like, that's weird is going to be like a coin phrase. We're going to make it. Oh, we got a new t-shirt coming. What's that? We're going to make it weird. That's weird. That's weird. That's weird. And I'm going to put a block of cheese on it. There you go. I'm going to... Oh, no, I'm going to make a gait out of cheese. And it's going to say, that's weird. Sounds like a lot of work. I'm not helping.
Starting point is 01:17:49 Thanks, man, you're so... I don't really... I really don't have a thorn. Honestly, I can try as hard as I want. No, you're good. It's just going to sound stupid, so... You're good. We'll take two more from Audrey Fugati.
Starting point is 01:18:02 Fugate. Fugati, like that. Did it say? seem like the audience came in an episode late. They were already in a fight. What audience? Did we come as, I think they're saying, did we miss an episode? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:20 No, I think I just picked up, you don't want to. I think it's fine. I mean, that's an interesting point. But I want to jump right in. I don't want to have the lead up. Yeah, I agree. It doesn't sound like anything too interesting happened. I mean, it sounds like Jenna really wasn't even part of much anyway.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Yeah, I want to, I want to, yeah. Let me jump right in. I don't want to wait. Oh, no, two more, because they're both fashion-related. I love that. Steele. This is from PRD-773. Steele, you spelled my name wrong.
Starting point is 01:18:46 No, E. at the end, PRD-773. I'll give you one more chance, but whatever. Steele, I want to know which of the new Roney castmates wears Hokas. Oh, man. I think this is a callback to what I made fun of your Hocas. Yeah. Probably Aaron, I would imagine. I would imagine.
Starting point is 01:19:04 No, Jessel. I think Jessel does. I think Jessel wears Hocus. That's my call. Yep. I think Jenna wears Hocus. There's no way Jenna wears Hocus. I know, I know.
Starting point is 01:19:13 She's way too cool. Yeah, I think Aaron or Jessel probably. I'm going to keep, these are great. I can't stop. From Susie says, what do you think Jenna Lyon's opinion is on Jorts? Surprisingly good, actually. I think she would be into it.
Starting point is 01:19:29 I think she's into a revival. I've started something here. You guys don't believe me. Jorts. seen way more jorts out i'm going to keep taking pictures of randos and jorts you started it though random people that you see in our neighborhood our neighborhood buddy yeah yeah you just proved my point i'm in our neighborhood they see me in the jorts have you seen me in jorts have you seen me in jorts yes influencer i don't like where this is going yeah baby don't take my yeah baby here we go

I think he's coming to our show next week, which I'm excited to meet. Lois, if you're coming, DM us, we're actually excited to meet you, even though you're a dick. We love you.
