Bros & Shows - RHONY Returns Pt. 1 of 2 (RHONY Season Premiere Full Recap)

Episode Date: October 3, 2024

Whats up Bros? RHONY is back and while it wasn't the most exciting premiere that we've seen, we didn't hate it. We meet back up with everyone in the crew and it starts off with a teaser of the end of the season. At the end of the season photoshoot for the Title Image etc. a lot of the group is not on speaking terms. It seems Brynn is having some issues with some of the ladies... When the episode kicks off, it appears that relationships are a little fractured. Brynn is on the outs with a lot of the ladies as she plans a night out in hopes to reconnect. Erin and Abe have moved from Tribeca to uptown but they're having some issues that Erin isn't ready to speak about. Sai and Jessel hit the ice bath and Sai informs us that she is on a new zen path in hopes to fix some things that she saw last season. We get to meet Jenna's girlfriends mom as well as newbie Raquel (who seems super cool). The main focus this episode is Brynn keeps getting caught in lies, or misremembering/ misspeaking about past events. Erin is fed up with it, Sai is fed up with it, and the rest of the group is dragged into it as well as Brynn keeps spreading information behind the ladies backs. Is this the villain era for Brynn? Will Jenna bring enough to the show this season? Again, not the most exciting start but we did see some areas that give us hope that they can get on track in season 2. Want more access to the Bros?

I don't need the spotlight. I shine just fine. Hi, I'm Karma. And yes, I am a bitch. Brav Bros. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Bravo Bros. Your favorite podcast. from the bros for everybody, for whoever wants to listen. I am your co-host, Steele Russell, joined, as always, by the one and only, shoot my goot. What's up, Dickhead? That's a new one.

I like it. Yeah, you like that? I don't like you call me a dickhead. I hope you leave the audio from before the show in there, too. No, I won't. I'm a frazzled little potato today, and you're playing into it, and it irritates me. But how are you today? Not trying to.

I'm a little frazzled, too. Yeah, I know. Fazzle dazzle. A couple of frazzled bros. But you know what, as we've said many a time, something about the studio and debriefing about reality TV with my bro, I tend to leave this room feeling better and not in a creepy way. I don't think anybody was going to think it was a creepy way. I'm just making sure. Yeah, well, that's a good point.

You don't know what other people are going to think. Let's let them think what they want to think. Yeah, you think what you want to think. It's your brain. For now. Yeah. Says the worm in JFK. Yeah, the RFK.

Yeah, there could be a worm there too. It probably is, actually. It's more likely because he's buried, you know. Well, off to a great start here for Roney, huh? Off and running. Yeah, welcome. We are here to discuss, as Shooter just said, Roney is back.

So we now have almost our full docket. We'll have the full docket on Sunday night. Is that when they're airing Potomac? Yes. Okay, so Potomac comes on Sunday. we've got four Bravo shows at once. It has been a lull. I think we can officially claim lull is finished.

Lull is definitely finished, and we couldn't be happier about it because the way that the schedule is going to work out, we'll be able to get to you guys early and often in the week. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It works out well for us. I mean, some episodes are going to be pushed to the following week,

but early in the week, because, like, O.C. and Roslick will be, We're trying to aim for this. I don't know why we debrief you always when we try to think. But we like to let them know what we're thinking. But this is literally our thought process, the deliverance of this thought process. We shall see how it goes. We would like to put out an episode Sunday at midnight, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Yes. That's the goal. Mm-hmm. Okay. I do have a baby on the way within the next six days. So that might throw a wrench into things, potentially. the good thing is I'm pretty sure I can podcast with a baby here if you're not watching YouTube you're missing the the camera work yep but I could definitely oh I almost let the name

loose whoa oh that was really close I didn't do that I'll let you know the name when she's bored she's almost here I cannot wait super excited dev is super excited so yeah let's talk Roney let's talk Roney what did you think first episode out of the gate um so I did a little little comparison, just in my own brain, and then there's nothing I can really do about this because I'm going to do it every time. I think we said this last year, too, and it wasn't Roney. I was trying to remember what the other franchise was that was going on at the same time as Salt Lake, but we compared Salt Lake to whatever that franchise was almost weekly with how excited we were for Salt Lake, how good the episodes were, the way that the edit works together,

all the drama, everything that we're talking about. There was something that was in Salt Lake Shadow last year, and I can't remember what it was. It may have been Beverly Hills. Not positive. Was Beverly Hills hitting on all cylinders last year? No. Beverly Hills hasn't been hitting on all cylinders. Oh, I see what you're saying. We're comparing it like Salt Lake's working this one.

Yes, exactly. So, and it's just something I'm going to do anyway. But first episode, I did a little side-by-side comparison, and I don't think it's fair to Rooney because Salt Lake has a lot of veterans, a lot of people that know how to play the game, a lot of people that know how to be on reality TV. That first episode was pristine. That first episode was perfect. There is not one complaint that we could come up with for anything that happened in that first episode.

So I don't know why. I was just kind of expecting the same type of excitement, the same type of buildup, the same type of, I guess, entertainment, if you will, for this first episode. And it didn't really hit there, but that's unfair. Because they are coming off their first season. They're still working out the kinks. We still are, whether we like it or not, getting to know everybody. So it's going to work its way in there. I didn't hate it.

I didn't think it was incredible. But I think it has the building blocks for a good show, or at least a good season. We are very much on a similar page here. I didn't compare it, only because I knew it wouldn't stand up to it. And my brain did not do it automatically, which is new. That usually, the comparison usually happens. So I agree. I mean, to compare it to Salt Lake and how they came out of the gate this season,

when they really needed to come out strong, they did. You can't, there's not really anything negative to say about that premiere episode of Salt Lake. It was phenomenal. I agree with you. I think what we got here from the ladies of Roney was a solid episode. And it's more in tune with what a housewife show should be like compared to what we saw last season.

We're seeing petty shit. We're seeing people are starting to turn into the characters of this show, and i.e., the villain, the shitster. someone's on a Zen journey now they're starting to hit those I don't want to say what's the word archetypes if you will that we see on this show

so that's exciting to me they're starting to play the game the correct way we did I mean we mentioned this a lot but I just I keep throwing it out there to give people not hope but just to they understand that the cast understands when Aaron came on our

live show and said, you know, last year we learned a lot. We were trying to be too nice and trying to keep the peace. Next season, we're coming in different, especially at the reunion. So that's what I was expecting. Yeah, and now that we've had some time to kind of like sit on that for a little while, and obviously after watching this first episode, I'm going to nitpick it a little bit. I think what she's saying is maybe the reunion won't be as resolved.

Yes, I agree. As we saw last year where everybody was apologizing to each other and then they got up and gave each other a big hug and nobody had bad blood by the end of the season. season, at least what we think. Maybe I still think that Sye and other people with Sye had bad blood. Yeah. It just didn't really talk about it as much. I'm not really seeing any changes in people.

Now, Brin, I will get to Brin a little bit later. I think she could be changing for worse. Potentially. Because that is not what I would have pegged her for in this show. And we'll get to it later and a little bit more in depth at that point. But Aaron is still being Aaron from last year. Jessel, I'm going to compare her to. It's funny because in the beginning of last year, we had an issue with Jessel.

We're like, oh, you're a little boring, maybe step it up, figure it out, get your legs under you and then go after people. Jessel's the star now. Jessel is. Jessel is front and center of this show right now, and she is delivering. She's great. She knows what she's doing. Pavett's involved. He's delightful.

He's great. I have no issues with Pavit. Erin is still exactly the same. Brin is taking a turn for the worst. Jenna seems exactly the same as last year. It seems like she still can't handle this show, and she's going to recuse herself from a lot of situations. I'm really worried about that.

I know you're a Gen Alliance supporter over there. I just said, I noticed that. I know, but I'm just, you know, I'm letting the listeners know that you are an apologist for her. They listen to us. They know. Maybe they're new this year. Shut up and continue.

Anyway, but I'm not seeing a lot of changes. Sy is still the same person. We saw her at the end last year. What? What did you get the same person out of Cy watching this episode compared to last? I thought she was wildly different. No. No, she's absolutely.

the same exact person. Well, hold on. I think she's still, she's still mean, she's still mean and petty. Right now, which is a very bold thing to do. For our first episode, yeah, this is the best. This is what we do. This is why we have podcasts.

I do. We have to make crazy hot takes in the first episode and then change it or don't. And I'm proven right in like six or seven episodes. And that's what I love. You're going to be. You're coming in very bold. I still think that Sai is the exact same person. But we'll talk about her a little bit later.

I'm just not seeing a lot of changes. I'm not seeing a lot of growth. I'm not seeing a lot of. adjustments to where you were last year coming into this first episode, which I know again is unfair. I said that in the beginning, but this is what we do. We talk about these shows. Yeah, no, and look, you're entitled to your opinion, even when you're wrong. Am I? And that's why, you know, we do what we do here, as you said. But I guess we saw it differently. I saw some things that I actually, I see hope for turning more into the standard of what a housewife show is.

At the same time, I do appreciate the New York aspect of it where they are bopping around. the city we always love to see that kind of stuff the fashion the decor all of that good stuff so that's the one thing that's built into this show that no other show can really have right like i mean beverly hills can be grandeur and all that stuff but new york you like they do a good job of capturing new york yeah they they really do it even to the point where when i noticed that was when sye and jessel went to the the ice tub yeah and i'm like oh that's kind of cool they're just like walking down by the water getting in there like they have that built in so easily that all they have to do is just be good characters on the show

and everything else will deliver for them. Whereas somebody like Salt Lake, you can only see people go and get soda so many different times. Yeah, I know. It's a nice way to pull in Mormon wives there too. But why don't we jump into this episode and we start out with a teaser of June 25th, 2024. And the tensions are very high.

It appears to be between Bryn and Jessel. Is that right? Yeah, that's what I picked up. I'm sure there's more to it than that. It's the end of the season photo shoot. Right. Yeah. So the fact that they are, to the point, they're not speaking to each other at the end of the season,

I don't know if it's enough to really be like, holy shit, what happened? Because it could turn out to be nothing. And we get served nothing burgers a lot when we're given teasers. Yeah, it's almost like they do that every franchise now. Yeah. And the cameras start rolling after they're done filming. Like, we know the new schick that they're doing. doing. And it's worked a lot of time, so I'm not going to fault it. I have a theory about

the cameras picking back up for this show, too. What is it? I have a theory that Abe and Aaron are going to be separated by the end, like, by the end of this showing. What? You are making outrageous claims. I have a feeling there's a lot of shit going on there, and I think they could be separated by the, look, there's another piece to this that I'm not going to let the audience know, but you know what I'm talking about. No. no no our emails our emails did i miss something the guy who reached out was like do you guys want ab on your show oh right right he's

getting ahead of it there's shit going on bro shit going on i don't think that we can like really bring that into that no i see what you're kind of there's a lot i just have a vibe i have a vibe and we've seen cameras get picked up for random things over the last couple of franchises that have aired in the last year year and a half if something were to have happen that would pick up cameras. It could be that. That's my bold prediction. I'm going to just debunk it immediately. I'm 99% sure. I just saw Aaron and Abe both something together. This show's going to be on for four months, probably. But 16 episodes? They're done filming now. I know, but in the, I'm saying in the next 16 episodes of real time, of light. They're getting separated and

you're getting back together. No, doofus. I'm saying between now and when this show has run its course. which is what? It's September now, so let's say January. Between now and January, something's going to happen there, and they'll pick cameras back up so that we can see the fallout. Oh, that's the pick up the cameras on after. Don't shrug at me and roll your eyes as though you're not being outlandish right now. You're making...

I'm making claims. Bold claims. I'm throwing shit out there. Yeah, you're making very bold claims. It's been a while since we've been able to... It's been a while. It's been able to just throw shit at the board and see what sticks. Yeah, well, you're throwing everything at the board.

I do it. Well, that's the other thing. You're just now making multiple claims. So this is one of those where it's like, if I keep saying enough shit, one of it's going to be right. Yeah, it's a spray shot. Yeah, you're shotgunning right now. Great. Well, moving on.

We get to Bryn, and this is where the episode really starts. She moved to Gramer C. Park. Her brother, Daris, is back in town from Seoul, Korea. She's trying to convince him to move back. So she wants to do a fun little night out with her brother, trying to replicate an evening they had, months prior. Here's what I'm going to say right out of the gate immediately. Any time, even in real life, that you try to

recapture the magic of an evening by repeating a similar evening, in my experience, something goes wrong that second time. It's always never as fun, and it does tend to lead to drama. So, that made me nervous out of the gate. I'm like, the group must be in tatters. She's trying to do something to clean up something. I don't know if she feels guilty. I don't know if she just hasn't seen people in a while, but that immediately tells me that there is a lot of tension in this group,

and it's just confirmed throughout the episode. Did you notice that there were a lot more videos of like Instagram, TikTok, whatever, of all the castmates or some of the castmates hanging out in the off season? Way more so than we've seen in other shows, that it was a little striking to me that they're hanging out a lot in the off season, which can be good, can be bad. We might miss some things. There's two parts to that. You're right.

We might miss some things that could have. happened there could have been a fallout and then we're talking about it in the first episode but it happened a couple of months ago and we weren't privy to it because it didn't happen on screen so that's a little bit worrisome but i just thought it was interesting and i wanted to point it out yeah i'm glad you did because the other part of that that i think probably has to do with them force feeding us those a lot of issues that the general public seems to have with this show is that they are not actually friends in real life right weren't friends before as we know they brought this whole crew together to try to

resurge Roni and they were not friends previously so that's what I think they're doing I think that Bravo's like look how much they hang out they love each other they're all friends and you know I'm never one I think that makes the show better for sure

when there's real friendships we talk about that but given the circumstance of how this show started I'm okay with letting them build their friendships and allowing us to watch it what I don't want to see is forcing us to believe like they are friends look at all the times they're out together so i got that vibe a little bit okay i'm happy i didn't get that vibe yeah so i'm curious i just want to see how these friendships blossom

We get to meet up with Jessel, and as you said, she is now the star. And if you all remember, for those of you that watched the first season of the reboot, she came in very poorly. Was not performing well,

people didn't like her. somewhere about not even halfway what the last five a little bit later than halfway yeah the last third fourth not even i'd say fourth of the season she took this massive turn and did a 180 and became one of the best housewives that we've seen in a while yeah to the point that she was in rolling stone like centerfold she was on saturday night live like she really took off and she is now at the home of the show so watching her storyline this season is going to be very interesting to me but I didn't care for, and this is always a bugaboo of mine, when she gets on the subway and she's like, ew, ew.

She spends $990 a month in Uber. In New York City, where you can take public transportation for, if you have a subway card, very cheap. That's never an excuse. The whole subway's gross thing, like that always bugs. Yeah, and the funny thing was when she was talking about this, before she got on the subway, I called bullshit. I was like, all right, come on.

Like, enough. You definitely take the subway. You live in New York. Come on. You definitely do. She does not do. She absolutely does not. She says hi to people on the subway.

Nope. Do not. As soon as you say hi to people in the subway, you're out. Don't even make eye contact. We're actually getting off on the next stop and we're going to walk the rest of the way. Yeah, because that, we don't know that person. Nope. And they're on the subway.

It might be a subway creature. Get me the fuck out of here. They don't wave to people on the subway. What are you nuts? Absolutely not. That's like inviting a fight. Yeah. Yeah.

Or a stabbing or a mugging. You never know. or somebody just dancing in the middle of the subway or if you're in philly they're just gonna pee yep you know that happens a lot uh just you know just keep to yourself yeah and and be close to the door so you can make a quick exit correct needed yeah that's actual subway out you think that pavit would have debriefed her on that or briefed her on that before they got on but they get to carroll's buns which looks that's i think that pavit and i would be best friends like i we could bop around to these kinds of places for weeks and i'd be thrilled yeah i i

And you can see the pure joy in his face when he's doing all of that. And I love that Jess will ask if she should get dressed up for this. And he says, yeah, yeah, get dressed up. That's the best part. Yeah, yeah, yeah, get dressed up. And, like, I immediately I'm starting to think, is he just messing with her? And I don't really think he is. I think that he just, like, gave her an answer right then and there.

He's like, yeah, get dressed up. I love this place. Yeah. Doesn't say that it's fancy. It doesn't say that it's like upscale or anything. Just I love this place. Get dressed up. Yeah, in his brain, he's like, sure.

Yeah, I'm going to eat. You want to get dressed up? Get dressed up. So, yeah, I like their dynamic together. It works. And I remember in the beginning of last year, we had an issue with how she talked to them. She actually addressed that at one point on the show, which I liked. And it seemed to, like, they have a good banter.

They do have a good back and forth. It's interesting that they're still working through some things in the relationship where it's like, you know, buy me a gift, get me a card. Right. Or big days, you know, they worked through the sex thing last year that became way too center stage. That was one of our issues with last season. We didn't like all that talk.

they have figured that part out. So now, Pava, you know, just show her you care sometimes, dude. Like, she's with you eating buns. Correct. You know? And everything looked phenomenal, and I'm sure that place slaps. But she's doing her thing. She's filming you.

Get her a card, man. Yeah. Just a card. Flowers. Cards and flowers that go a long way, you know? But they're talking about embryos, maybe another baby. Pavid's not happening. So we'll see.

Yeah. We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. They've got, they've got embre. They've got Beverly Hills. embryos, which everybody knows. Those are the expensive embryos. Who's are the embryos you want?

Yeah, that's, yeah. Take it from the Embrybrose. Wow. Wow, what if we were fertility doctors and we could do just the embryos? The Embrybrose? Wow. I think we're, we might need to go to medical school just to use that. Yeah, why not?

There's online school for everything now. Yeah, there is. Or we can just be chiropractors, and then we're, quote, unquote, doctors. I just insulted a lot of chiropractors. Yeah. So how are we working MB bros into chiropractors? into chiro.

This goes back to my food thing. My issue with food on Instagram and food influencers like fitness nutrition people because they'll claim doctor and start talking about nutrition and all of these erroneous bullshit facts on food and nutrition.

Sure. And their doctorate, their degree is they're a chiropractor. So they're not really a doctor. Yeah, this is a real thing in the fitness world. If you see doctor, another public service announcement

for if you follow fitness influencers, If you see doctor, check and see what kind of doctor. I'm not saying they're all not doctors. I'm saying a lot of them are chiropractors. This is a thing. I'll send you some stuff. It's very good. I have bropractors, am I right?

We can't keep doing this. We get to Uber and Aaron. They have since their best friends again, obviously got a little rocky last year with the sunglasses debacle when they're on vacation. But they seem to be fine. It's more of like a sisterly relationship. As Uber calls it, it's a beautiful roller coaster. And to be honest with you, that's what we need on Broadway.

Yes, it is. Roller Coaster Friendships. So I'm cool with it. I'm also thrilled to see Uba back on the screen. I love Uba. I think she's awesome. But we get to Remeet. Remete.

Remeat. We get to remit. Rebecca Minkoff. I read Rebecca and decided to say Rameet. But the good thing is they call her Becky, which is easier for me to say. So Becky's now part of the crew. Becky is in the fashion world.

She is a big deal in the fashion world to the point where Uva's like, holy shit. You're like Coca-Cola to me. Like, that's the level of which I know you, so this is exciting for her. But we get to find out more about Uber. Her and Oliver, the mystery man from last year,

they're thinking about kids, which is cool. They're going to try in November or December. We're not really sure. But the big thing that we're talking about, now that we've gotten everybody up to speed on the background is once again distension in the group. I guess Bryn and Aaron haven't talked in a very long time. And I'm curious what this season is going to do with it

because they're pointing it out a lot, but we're kind of getting picked up in the middle of it, and we seem to have missed a lot in the off season. Yep. These mini groups, and this is, this happens on every reality show we watch. There's mini groups, there's the big group, and the mini groups cause shit because they talk about one thing.

It gets translated to the bigger group the wrong way by the wrong person. Everybody thinks somebody's talking shit, when, in fact, it may have been innocuous. They may have been talking shit. What I'm curious about, and maybe you can shed some light on what you think, how are these factions going to break down? Like, who do you see as,

because there's always going to be, not the leaders, because I don't have, like, a firm leader in this group, but figureheads. Like, who's going to be taking the reins of communicating? That's going to be a tough one. I mean,

it's hard to say that Aaron wouldn't be the figurehead of, at least like this faction for now. Before you even go on, I want to dive into that a little bit, because I love it. Aaron. I think she's great on TV. But I think she wants to be that person. I think that's her personality. I don't think that she can in, she might be able to do it in like real life, but I'm talking for reality

TV terms. I don't think that Aaron can carry. I think that the way that she is, the way that she carries herself, it doesn't portray well for reality TV because she can get caught up saying something that she's unapologetic for, but they use it against her. And she gets rattled. And she gets rattled easily. So that's not good, but I can't see anybody else from that side. And by the way, the sides that I'm putting out here right now, it would be like Aaron, Uba, I don't know where the hell Becky's going to end up.

Cy. Cy, I can see bopping around, though. I just, I feel like. You watched a different episode with Sy. I just don't think so. I think maybe I'm still holding her accountable for last year, which was, what, 15 episodes? You got to move on. We've one episode here.

You're ready to move on already? Wow. You're going to throw that back. The guy that's claiming fucking separations and... Well, you know, I got vibes. Take your vibes and shut. I still think that Sai is going to... I don't want to use the word use,

but I think that she's going to play towards whichever side she can... Side. I know. I did that on... I didn't mean to do it on purpose, but I had to do it. I heard you try to skip past it. Yeah. Like, side.

Go ahead and continue. Yep, nope. I just think that she's going to... play for whichever side that she fits best in in that moment and then two or three days later she could flip to the other side pretty easily whereas she's not making bold claims

she's not putting her flag in one side or another she's just kind of floating around a little bit and just seeing you know what best serves her so that would be that end of the faction the other faction again doesn't really have a figurehead I don't think that Bryn is Brin seems to be on an island I don't know what Brin's up to right now

Brin is very confusing to me right now because she was the bubbly personality that was having fun. Yes, she had some issues last year, but it was mostly her working through her own personal feelings, her working through her own past, you know, issues that she was working through, and then talking to the group about it and then she was fine. Now it seems like she's a shitsister, and she's making things up. So it's weird.

Here's my theory. Yeah. Okay. Because bubbly brin is great last season. That was one of the things we loved about her. She did seem to keep things light. However, I think if you went back and watched it under a different lens, or how we're seeing her come out this season right now,

I think that the bubbly personality makes up for that she does like to talk a little shit, that she does get stories mixed up, that when she goes to translate the story. She's just bubbly brin. She's bubbly brin. But now that they've been in front of a camera for a year, and now that this crew is starting to learn how the game works, they're starting to pick up on certain little things and not letting those moments slide. so now they're holding her accountable, which she's not used to.

So now she's in panic mode a little bit, and she's confused as to why everyone's starting to turn a little bit and not understanding how to fix that relationship. She's like doubling down on the stuff that she has claimed. She goes, I did hear that. I know what I heard. I know what I said. Where I don't know if she's telling the story the same way that it happened.

I'm more privy to believe the other side of things, but I think that because this crew's been together for a full season, they're starting their next season. They do seem to have their feet wet. They're understanding how this show works a little bit more this season. I think they're calling her out now and I think she's not used to that.

And now she's like, oh, fuck, what am I supposed to? I think that makes a lot of sense. I'm trying to figure out where Jessel lands. Maybe we can put Jessel on Team Erin, but Jessel's the figurehead because she can handle herself. You think everybody's just going to like Jessel? Yeah.

I'm going to nuzzle up to Jessel because she's just... Oh, wouldn't that be? I have a theory on that one, too. Just because she's the star of the show right now After off season, after everything that happens, she came in with a lot more confidence this year. Maybe people were going to try, and we, I think that's, I think that's, I was doing. I think that I think that is what Cy's doing, but I think that she can flip at some point.

I agree. Let's keep going. Yeah, we're getting sidetracked, like crazy. That's okay. That's what this is about. Side tracked. Well, we get to the furniture store, uh, blue nuts or something. I don't remember what it's called, blue something.

And they're picking out a kitchen table for Bryn or a dining room table who gives a shit. but it's Jenna, Bryn, and Jessel. And we go back to, and we remember when this went down, the Jeff Lewis interview that Aaron did, and Jeff Lewis, who loves to say fairly outlandish shit, made a claim that Bryn may or may not have a sugar daddy. Yes. Okay, that was the claim.

We watched the clip. And even that's paraphrasing. Yeah, and that's paraphrasing. Someone's taking care of her. Yeah. And Aaron, to her credit, and they show it in this clip, didn't lean into it. No.

She let him talk. For sure. But she didn't say after that, she just said, no, I don't think that's happening. But if you're going, if you're on Jeff Lewis's serious radio, which I think that's what it was. Yeah, it was like Jeff Lewis live or whatever, whatever is it called. He's not somebody that you want to make an enemy of in the Bravo world. No.

So I do not blame Aaron for not speaking up and going after him. Well, I think the other part of it is had Aaron tried to interrupt and shut it down, if you've listened to Jeff Lewis or seen him and watch what happens live, he's not backing down just because you want to speak over him. He's going to say it again. Yep. Because that's Jeff Lewis. Like, and I'm not saying that in a negative way,

because I don't want him to come after us. No, I like Jeff Lewis, actually. Like, I have no problem with Jeff Lewis. He does what he does. But if you think that Aaron standing up for Brennan that moment and being like, whoa, whoa, whoa, he would have doubled down. Yes, that it would have probably got worse. Instead, she lets him talk and just goes,

no, I don't think that's going on. So I thought it was blown out of proportion a little bit. It is funny how much of these shows are now just, like, centered around things that other people have said on podcasts or the radio. I know. We need to start. That's the thing. Modern Housewives. When we have people on, we're not trying to stir up shit.

We just, like, talking to. People just end up clipping it at, like, the worst time to put it out there. We don't have any of those. That's what I'm saying. Do we need to start, like, saying some more, like, off-color shit to try to, like. If we're around as long as Jeff Lewis has been around, maybe we start doing that. But right now. We'll have our villain arc.

Yeah, I don't like doing that. I don't like digging. I just like, I just like chit-chatting. Chit-chat. Yeah, a little chit-chat with the bros, but... Goodbye, summer movies, hello fall. I'm Anthony Devaney. And I'm his twin brother, James.

and let's talk about Old Hollywood today. They go over this night at Jessels that, or is it Jenna's Jassels, right? It doesn't matter. They all had this night where they went over to either Jenna or Jettles. I believe it was Jettles. But things were good, but weird. Some shit went down, and there was an Uber scenario. Aaron and Jenna were going to take an Uber somewhere.

When they got out of the Uber, it was like $250, so it was probably like three miles at peak time. Yeah, most likely. More than that. You know, they took a helicopter. Or they could have taken the chopper or Uber Blades. Like, it was $250 Uber. Jenna never paid.

So, because of that, apparently Brin is claiming that Aaron said, Jenna's poor. Jenna's having money problems. This is the second episode of a different franchise in a row that we're getting upset about calling people poor,

which is funny to me. I do think that this one was explained better where Jenna's like, my issue was you're implying I'm having money problems, which is a bad look for anybody in the housewives world.

And I don't really know which way do you land on this because I know exactly where I land. Okay, all right, because I can see both sides. I can see Aaron saying a little too much and she does have a dry sense of humor. She could have made a joke

about having money problems but it was a joke and she didn't mean anything by it or i could see her not saying any of that just saying oh yeah we got jena over here the freeloader she's not going to spend or she's not going to split the uber with me and then laugh afterwards and brin's like i'm going to take a note of that and just carry it a little bit further i'm confused again because of brin's behavior in this episode that's what's really throwing me off fair that's good to keep you on your toes yeah i think it was the former i think that it was 100 percent she probably made a joke and it was dry as hell oh what if she got money problems and probably didn't chuckle afterwards but in my brain

if I'm there in that moment where she's quote unquote talking shit about Jenna being poor I 100% think she made a joke about Jenna not paying her back but I do think she was irritated that Jenna didn't pay her back right so there had a little stank on it but at no point do I think that Aaron actually tried to say that Jenna has money problems at no point do I think she was implying that she's poor because that's insane like it doesn't make any it doesn't track no it doesn't track it's not one of the housewives who were like does she really have money like yeah she fucking has right so i don't think that there was any malintent i do think that it probably came off a little rough yeah i think that's

probably what happened yeah we'll never find out exactly what happened who knows maybe there's a camera there like i don't know there's cameras everywhere they keep showing the clips clips phone clips uh-huh you want to call them tictox but it's not just like videos they took on their phone. And they put it on the TikTok. They don't think the TikTok. Here we go again. Yep.

On the internet machine. Yep. Jesus Christ. Well, we get Sy and Jessel doing a cold plunge claiming it helps you lose weight. It does not. That's not what cold plunges are for. But another thing also, if you get in a cold plunge for like three minutes and then immediately get in a sauna, it negates whatever you just did in the cold plunge.

Correct. Okay. Another PSA out there. If you're going to do contrast, hot cold, hot cold, hot cold, you start. you start hot, you end cold. You have to. You can go back and forth as many times as you want, but the final step in that process must be ice bath.

Yeah. Okay, ice baths. About a warm towel. Warm towel is fine. If you're a little chilly, if you're a little nippy, that's fine. But you have to end on the cold contrast. This got me through professional baseball. I took ice bath after every single game.

Hot, cold, hot, hot, cold, finish cold. All they did was sit in cold water and then take this on them. Yep. It does not help you lose weight either. Anywho, it's a fun experience. I like Ice Bass. They do make you feel better. But you should put one out back.

I've thought about it. But here's the thing. I will not be the cold plunge guy. It'll have to be. No, I know, but I just do it. I agree. I would never talk about the fact that I own one. I am turned off to the idea because of all these idiots, again, on social media.

Or they're like, this will bring your cortisol down to nothing. This will make you be able. to process grass. You could eat grass like a cow, but if you, if you ice plunged, then it'll process in your stomach and it'll give you protein. And also, also dude, red dye 40 will make your head explode. So ice bath. I heard that. I forgot that I have to be careful around these things. You do. You have to tread lightly because I was just talking about like this, this lovely guy who just does, he lives in like Northern Michigan and he just jumps in his ice bath like every morning and then it gets really fucking cold and it's like

middle of January breaks yeah you've seen that guy yeah but he isn't talk about anything he's just like how's your day going that guy I like talking talking about Michigan football and he does the frozen um he puts food in there yeah and then he eats like a frozen egg like egg a waffle or something yeah yeah he's fine because he's not like this is gonna get you jacked and stacked baby sitting in ice doesn't make you stronger that's what leads somebody like jessel who's walking into a cold plunge saying I'm gonna lose weight from this correct Those dickheads on social media.

It doesn't make you lose weight, guys. But anyway... Come on, guys. There's a lot of side rants today. Cy, and this is I actually bought by the end of the episode just because of how she reacted at the end of the episode because I was a different side than we've seen as far as her reaction goes, in my opinion.

But Sy's on a Zen journey. After seeing herself on TV, didn't like what she saw, didn't like her reactions to people, wanted to fix her relationship with Jessel, just fix herself. So I actually appreciated that, that she was able to watch and try to make a change. She said that I'm not a big therapy person.

That bugs me. And immediately said, but I'm going to therapy. And I've learned a lot about myself. So whether you think she's changed or not, she is making changes. And you can't take away from that part of it. Not buying it. She's faking a therapist now.

Is this your next bold claim? No, I didn't say that. I'm just saying that I'm not buying that she's going to change. Well, that's also... I think she's cozying up to jessel. because Jessel's a big player now. I did think that she's cozying up to Jessel a little bit, and that may still ring true.

But to say that you, like, this is, I guess, where I'm confused, because watching this scene, I'm going to save it, I'm going to save it. Save it. Anywho, she hasn't talked to Bryn either. There seems to be a lot of Bryn issues going around right now. And I'm really, again, this is where it's, I wish we had more from the off season.

Is this an offshoot of just from the reunion, and they didn't make up afterwards? I'm not entirely sure, but she hasn't talked to her. So I apologized. We saw the apology last year. She's put herself out there to the point where if Brin is going to reciprocate, she must meet her halfway. I agree with that.

Even if you don't like it. Yeah. Like, she's made the effort. I don't know if they're going to reconnect because Brin is on a weird track right now. It goes a step further with the Brin shit because she's got drama with Jenna. Because Brin told Jenna that Jessel said she hates her, which when we're splitting, hair's here. Okay.

We're playing the semantics game a little bit. I can't stand her. I hate her. How much better is I can't stand her than I hate her? Not much. Right? Really not much at all. Like an Iyota? Especially if it's including, which it sounds like it was,

a, I don't like her at all. I can't stand her. I feel like that's huge. Those two were, yeah, those two together pretty much equals hate. Can't stand her plus don't like her. equals I hate her. Yeah. I think that tracks. Yeah, I think that's fine.

So in this mode, I'm like, all right, did Bryn play the semantics game and say you hate her and he didn't actually say hate? Fine. Yeah. I don't think that. It's like a whisper down the lane situation. Yeah. Or just, who knows if Bryn said she hates being around you.

She hates the sight of you, like anything like that. She could have used the word hate, but not an I hate you. And then Jenna took it as I hate you. So it's, they could have been something like that. we are playing the semantics game but i agree with you if that's what sigh said which she cops to at the end of the episode cops to in that moment she goes i may have said that yeah and then when she's talking to jennina later in the episode she says what she said and it sounds like it kind of equals i hate you yeah i mean even if i guess for them the word hate

carries so much weight which it does at times for sure but in this moment it's like i hate her like i don't you say like three derogatory things it leads to hate yeah like i don't know i thought there are splitting hairs there, but anyway.
